Really interesting product. A ton of these sandbox companies recently but it feels like no one has really nailed the experience for application builders yet. Really excited to try this one out

I’d also argue it needs to compile fast/ have fast static analysis. Feedback loops like this are super helpful for agents

Maintainer here. In the case where a human edits a previously AI-generated line we simply track that as a human-produced line of code. We are thinking of making this a distinct subcategory because there's a lot of useful info in that d

Do you have examples of any of these ideas being implemented? In general I agree, there’s so much opportunity for these “knowledge augmented” algorithms

Curious how this scales. Just tried this with the test dataset and it was probably the slickest deduplication experience I’ve had

This seems weirdly hostile. He laid out a bunch of points but you’re grabbing on to this one to make it seem like he’s using classic corporate-speak. Do you find it so unrealistic that the CEO of Sourcegraph has heard from devs that their

This post is a bad analysis. > While some will praise Satya Nadella and hero-worship Sam Altman, breaking OpenAI into two parts will slow down momentum for LLMs and research while handing even more power to the Cloud and Azure in its fut

Can you be more specific about what was “solved” in the 90s? The platforms upon which apps are run now and the technologies as well as the expected capabilities of those apps have drastically changed. Not all UI development has changed just

Companies have been gathering data for over a decade now and storing it in massive data warehouses with often no plan for how to effectively use it. I would not be surprised if turning those warehouses into a source for various LLM applicat

Inflation has been remarkably low since 1980 though… and that graph doesn’t mention prices. Theoretically if more is being produced then you don’t need wages to keep up to afford the same luxuries. In fact all the stats I’ve seen shown that

Whenever I read articles like this I have a lot of sympathy and also a little confusion. Maybe it's because I DO have an adblocker but this just isn't my experience on the web. It feels so easy to use the web and generally avoid t

Don’t know why this is being downvoted when it’s objectively true. Parent says wealth inequality is less in Europe therefore being “poor” is more desirable which makes no sense. The US could have higher inequality but that could just mean t

I can only assume you've never worked at a company even close to the scale of Amazon. There's no such things as "fixing it" with a lot of these internal tools. They'll often have entire teams dedicated just to devel

A lot of comments here dismissing OP but I’ll say this. 1) it’s really not too late. You’re older than most that have kids but it’s really not impossible. You can have a surrogate or adopt or still try natural and screen for abnormalities.

I use image thumbnails for my blog posts as well but they don't even show up in the article. Instead when the article is linked to on twitter or a message the thumbnail will show up. That's to say that this is pretty awesome and v
