“send cold emails with enriched context” What’s the difference between cold and spam?

You either need to quit or keep your head down, I can’t tell which.

This sounds like a constraint I model in my bin packing optimization routine.

Bin packing is theoretically NP Hard but practically solved all the time on real world datasets.

Pro-tip - the older it is, the more likely it is to be good.

This sounds like a broken culture to me. Teams shouldn't tolerate it... it is both harmful and contagious.

A lot of organizations right now are dealing with the "Claude says..." problem. It's not that you should never include any AI generated text in a conversation with other engineers, but you mostly shouldn't. AI is a tool

You can just look at the diff when you do a pull request, no prayer needed, and if you want it to be “surgical” in that way, your prompt (and agents.md) can be specific. You can also unit test the function to better assure behavior didn’t c

I’m fine with bulk review, it just has to get reviewed before a merge. You don’t need to review the LLM output as you work except as it aids you to work.

by andrewljohnson 4mo ago
LLM editing should be done to produce deterministic output. That is, the LLM should produce a diff, and the user should accept the diff. It seems like a bad pattern to just tell the LLM to edit any long document without that sort of visibil

eBay already had warehousing ops, I assume larger than tcgplayer’s. Last year, eBay shut down tcgplayer’s only fulfillment facility in Rochester, NY and switched to using eBay’s facility in Kentucky.

For my marketplace, I was friends with someone who could make it look like not a ghost town for the supply (an established game store with lots of trading cards in stock). Then, we struggled to get more sellers. Then, we found channels to g

You could argue that compute was a decisive factor in World War II even (used in code breaking and designing nuclear weapons).

We use Mercury’s treasury account to get yields on cash, and what appeals to me is it is easy to manage. I don’t have to worry about setting up processes to move money around and it’s integrated with my bank account, and we wouldn’t want to

This doesn’t read to me like it was personally written by one person. It’s not Dario we should read this as being written by, it’s Anthropic as an entity.

This is neat, I have a simple CSS effect that I apply to foil cards on my Magic card marketplace site, but I have wondered what it would take to replicate all the different foil effects that a Magic card can come in to be both more varied a

This almost exact thing happened with me with a hiking app I used to make. We had a 7-day trial when you started the app, but we shipped a release that broke this and made all the paid features immediately paywalled. This led to a big incre

The same could be said for books about writing, like Williams or Strunk and White. The trick is to not apply what you learn indiscriminately.

I find using AI very educational in some respects. I am way more knowledgeable about SQL than I have ever been, because in the past I knew so little I would lean on team members to do SQL for me. But with AI, I learned all the basics by rea

In GIS world, a vector tile is a chunk of geographic data (the vectors) limited to a geographic region (the tile boundaries which fit into the projected checkerboard of your map). You use a vector tile instead of a png or jpeg tile because

Make sure not to apply this polite but curt tone to consumer apps.

Forget squarespace websites. AI is such a huge time saver for complex front ends. It doesn’t write the whole thing, but you can easily go from screenshot to code you are better off using as a starter than typing it all up yourself. And it’s

I wonder if MidJourney is still ripping. I’m actually curious if it’s superior to ChatGPT’s Dall-E images… I switched and cancelled my subscription when ChatGPT added images, but I think I was mostly focused on convenience.
