I support this pet theory, I tried out to reduce the output of Claude models with a "ADHD" prompt that made its responses small and to the point, but I could notice it degraded in performance as the session went on. So I think wha

We have been working hard on the past two months implementing agents for different tasks. We started with Claude code, as we really liked working with hooks. However being vendor locked and having usage limit problems, we ended up implement

While I like the self reflection from this article, I don't think his methodology adds up (pun intended). First there are two main axis where LLMs can make you more productive: speed & code quality. I think everyone is obsessed abo

Exactly, I had the same issue when I was younger. I thought if I read code I could not understand was because the other dev was a legend. Now its the opposite, I am amazed by code that does its job well, its understandable and has low compl

Claude Code is my favorite way to use LLMs for coding. However I feel what we really need is to have an open source version of it where you can pass any model and also you can compare different models answers. (Aider and other alternatives

Stars are just a signal. When I am looking at multiple libraries that do the same, I am going to trust more a repo with 200 starts that one with 0. Its not perfect, but I don't have the time to go through the entire codebase and try it

Where did you get the data that there has never been a profitable one? Not calling you out, but curious of where you are getting this data. I would expect that there have been multiple nuclear power plants that provide a net positive return

The comparison isn't even close. TikTok's relationship with the Chinese government is well-documented, not "supposed". They are legally required to share data under China's National Intelligence Law. The Chinese gov

I am all for preventing teen pregnancy, but the data sounds more like young people can't afford having children so they are waiting longer.

That used to be my flow, but I just added Avante to my Neovim and it has been a awesome for working with a single file. If I need to do something more high level or that requires multiple files I still copy and paste to Claude / ChatGP

Could you share with me the link of the profile you saw? I did work with Blockchain in the past but this current SaaS has nothing to do with that.

We recently applied to the current YC batch and got rejected. Seeing this just made me die a little inside. We are a small SaaS that has very happy paying customers and a huge market. We solve a boring problem, with boring technologies and

If you are not a software engineer, you can't judge the correctness of any LLM answer on that topic, nor you know what are the right questions to ask. From all my friends that are using LLMs, we software engineers are the ones that are

I strongly disagree with this statement, Golang is excellent for building backends and just the orchestration of all the services you are calling is better done in a typed/compiled language with great multi threading support and fast c

While from a first instance, this package seems a bit overkill, I think the idea is interesting and is something that can be improved for Go. I also felt that Go errors where too bare-bones, so I developed a small package ( https:/&#x2

Its hard to take this article seriously when it does not provide any real technical argument and has typos such as "egineers".

Why should namecheap subsidize the cost? That makes 0 sense and I say it as a namecheap customer. I don't see how its fair for them to cover the cost and I don't want them to do so because I am a happy customer and don't want

I don't think that its bad for the motivated engineer, its just a trade off between expressiveness and simplicity. I personally find myself choosing go because I feel I am way more productive with the language. By keeping me constraine

Unfortunate, but it was pretty obvious this would happen. The blackouts lasting only 48 hours was a mistake anyways. The only way I see them changing course is if enough people: 1. Delete the official app 2. Stop buying reddit awards, subsc

I strongly relate to this. I built my desktop computer and I run arch as my daily driver. For my phone: I just want a device that works out of the box. I don't want to think about it, or need to configure anything from it. Thats the on

Are they trying to maximize their income in the next year or in their lifetime? I would honestly advice them to change their mindset from trying to maximize income, to maximizing learning. So instead of finding a job that pays a lot, find a

I completely agree that groundbreaking technologies come from an iterative process. However in the case of LLMs I believe we are already at a point where we can judge where the technology is going as its not the first iteration. Sure it wil

Exactly and I personally think that will always be the largest limiter to how good can the technology get. No matter how good the stochastic parrot gets, its still a parrot.

Could you provide an example of this? What kind of prompts are you using, and what does a complex system of different state-of-the art technology would look like? Sincere question as I don't get how to use it for things larger than sim
