I like Cognition as a company and hope they succeed. Seemingly excellent engineering org. I used to really like Windsurf. (Now Devin. Kind of? But also now Antigravity.) I still use it as my editor but haven't touched the agent for a w

I wonder if the best analogy here is Amazon. They allow 3rd party sellers in their platform and in their warehouses There's many reasons for this but they include: Somebody will compete in every segment: building the taxis, operating t

Actually, while I still like your point there really is still a lot of operational work. You need to clean, inspect, repair, insure, secure and charge the cars. To do so efficiently you will need to custom develop premises full of chargers

That's actually a very good point. Also if Elon Musk has a demonstrable superpower it's the ability to raise capital. So they really could order 100,000 of these themselves.

If I was building this for serverless I would transform with two copies of the code: instrumented and not. Then do one single if statement between them. If you are transforming anyway you're looking at virtually zero dev time cost and

I like your product and team. j think you have something here.

You wrap it but there must be some kind of call you're making to your API. So are you saying that call fires immediately, races the main wrapped execution, and is therefore done when the execution is finished, therefore neglible latenc

This debugging in production thing has always been interesting to me. Rookout, etc. How does it work? Using the NodeJs inspector API or other language equivalent to drop breakpoints? Those APIs are unavailable in many serverless environment

You are a very talented 15 year old engineer. Not a wannabe. Just getting a head start on the imposter syndrome! Welcome to the club

Why is it hard? Ultimately you take whatever your signal is and send it to some relatively cheap LLM. How is it easier to sign up and manage a different service, implement a different API, etc. And from the company side the fatal flaw is th

Why... why do companies keep taking every tiny feature and trying to productize it? In the tradition of boring software, even before LLMs it was much simpler to just use your existing tools and hand-roll. With LLMs I cannot fathom reaching

Must admit, for this particular case I don't see the appeal in using a wrapper. Why would I not just use Codex directly? The we wrote a bunch of prompts argument is kind of meh. That sort of thing has not only diminishing value with su

It's not typescript definitions. Presumably it's zod schemas which are both typescript types and JSONSchema for the object. Although tbh the article makes a lot of this obvious and trivial change in syntax.

Agreed! Example: for large Eloqua/Marketo/HubSpot emails we would previously make a planner which delegated the sections to their own call. GPT5.6 can do the whole thing. The planner is unhelpful. My suggestion: feature flag your

Good observation. I actually started typing the same point that the chances are actually high because of train/eval overlap then realised you answered your own question with that same observation. It is interesting though! Perhaps in s

Yes. Sorry - my British sense of humor there!

No. It makes you faster. You can prove it by looking at the lines of code. Source: Gary Tan, who can write more code than Jeff Dean and John Carmack. If you want to go really fast, you put a Ralph Wiggum dungeon. It's where you orchest

Congratulations to Anthropic for solving safety on Mythos exactly when the SpaceX compute came online. Nice how that lined up for them.

To hide the severity of the price increase, the plan is to move everyone right one model. Haiku = essentially phased out Sonnet = the Haiku use cases Opus = the new Sonnet class Fable = the new Opus class If I am right, the other "5.0&

Perhaps "potentially billions" is justifiable? In that it's a "change the scenario entirely" level of change. Certainly if you compare it to another likely scenario where Vercel buys them and fast forward 2 years, i

The reason this is worth it to CloudFlare is it will cause AI to recommend them more. The agents already reach for Vite. When they reach for Vite it's very logical they will default to CloudFlare after. (Much like they will guide users

Your linked post shows they raised 12.5 million? But it's also possible they haven't spent much of that money. The investors don't need to be happy. They just need to be made whole (assuming they have a minority control). It

Vite is great. Vite+ seemed to offer very little added value and was paid for (or was going to be one day?). The article didn't mention what happens to paying Vite+ users. Is that because there basically aren't any?

Respectfully no, thank you. I know a lot of people are/will build this. I would be specifically interested in Black Magic doing it first party.

Somehow this is way more dystopian than not having an opt out at all.

by bluelightning2k 4mo ago
So much respect for Black Magic. They are absolutely World Class and their business model is extremely generous. Having said that, for all the AI features, the big one would be setting key frames etc. with an agent, driving the general edit

This is an absolute joke. Anthropic capitalized upon a brief window of being more code-focused, which turned into enterprize contracts. Then on renewal rug-pulled those same enterprises - going from your seat includes all the usage a user w

Thanks, good reply. I can see the argument for sure. I guess I like boring software too much to reach for a dependency but I do see how the tooling matters here.
