Except there’s no average person, the average itself is a combination of people with the most diverse needs and constraints. It’s like the joke that the average human being has 1 breast and 1 testicle.

Well, at the very least the ability to have a larger browser screen on landscape or having two apps side by side is already good on its own.

It is a thing to some extent, but there’s also a correlation of companies that do cross-platform for simple apps being cheap on development, and making it work very well on some specific platform isn’t their priority.

In fact it’s more important that the right people find it, and it could be linked in a profile etc.

I think because the only places you can download it from are either from the App Store or logging into Apple’s developer’s website.

Basically, I’d say the LLM doesn’t have a “theory” of anything that wasn’t in its training. It’ll always treat your project as if it was reading a book for the first time. As an example, if you chat with an LLM it can sort of explain concep

Often times to write a good enough specification in a way the LLM won’t misunderstand it, you need to really understand the code and the possible pitfalls in it though. A few times when I tried this route, even adding details just in case t

You’re not wrong, but there’s a nuance here. More often than not our thoughts fool us into thinking we have something clear when we have only a vague idea of what you want to do. I kinda [wrote about this before]( https://dielsons

I’d like to recommend people to read the “Programming as a theory building” article and why the code itself isn’t enough to understand the whole context of a complex project. Every time you work in a complex software project, you have all t

It’s what’s called in software engineering as “casual software” as a differentiator of “business software” and “critical software”. Not all types needs a high bar of quality, and most of the software engineering thought practices are tailor

Feels a bit like the AI browser that in the end imported Servo for all difficult things.

The way I see it, this is only possible because you can trust the lower layers work reliably and predictably enough that you can move up. If your operating system was regenerated every day slightly differently and with certain things workin

I guess the thing here (which they admit in the post) is that they’re just porting it to Vite, which is the real champ of the story. The LLM basically worked as a translator instead of rebuilding the whole thing from scratch. So maybe the p

Actually, most VPN providers explicitly label the virtual locations as such, I think the famous ones at least do it (ex: Proton and NordVPN even explain them in their respective docs).
17.
by balder1991 9mo ago
It depends on whether the VPN is lying to you. Proton, for example, makes them quite explicit in the software and even lists them for you here: https://protonvpn.com/support/how-smart-routing-works and seems like NordV

Yeah, Proton is quite explicit about that: https://protonvpn.com/support/how-smart-routing-works

I have this impression that LLMs are so complicated and entangled (in comparison to previous machine learning models) that they’re just too difficult to tune all around. What I mean is, it seems they try to tune them to a few certain things

by balder1991 9mo ago
Anything that is very specific has the same problem, because LLMs can’t have the same representation of all topics in the training. It doesn’t have to be too niche, just specific enough for it to start to fabricate it. One of these days I h

It doesn’t really solve it as a slight shift in the prompt can have totally unpredictable results anyway. And if your prompt is always exactly the same, you’d just cache it and bypass the LLM anyway. What would really be useful is a very si

Even assuming it’s not malicious, the script can mess up your environment configuration.

Not sure that’s even possible with ChatGPT embedding your chat history in the prompts to try to give more personal answers.

I think it would be better to just use Docker/Podman at this point?

by balder1991 10mo ago
Exactly, it’s really weird to see all this people claiming these wonderful things about LLMs. Maybe it’s really just different levels of amazement, but I understand how LLMs work, I actually use ChatGPT quite a bit for certain things (searc

You’re over complicating something that is very simple. The stock market reflects people’s sentiments: greed, excitement, FOMO, despair… A bubble doesn’t need a grand catalyst to collapse. It only needs prices to slip below the level where

Brazil had many times a judge punished WhatsApp by blocking it in Brazil, and all the times that happened, Telegram gained hundreds of thousands of new users.
