I think Z.ai rushed a bit for release, for example GLM 5.2 is only available under the coding plan right now and they didn't do a big write up. Not even some charts and graphs about its performance! This is around when people were pre

Starting from a literal bandwidth costs perspective definitely won't get you there. I'd start by trying to feel personally annoyed by things like that. Then maybe try to feel more annoyed, since you know it'll touch every c

That's well said and where I ended up as well. This whole thing did reveal that a lot of people really never enjoyed programming at all and only saw it as some irritating necessity. I don't really like that crowds presumption th

It's a fascinating angle they've taken to give Claude your payroll. I guess we've reached this part of the AI race and they're running ahead of people realizing what it can do.

LLMs get ridiculous with elixir, especially with the repl, runtime, and ability to hot reload / directly test functions. It's really surprising to me it hasn't caught on more but I guess you have to see it to believe it.

This is a funny point. People don't want to read LLM code either, so who knows where that puts us.

If there was an exponential cost, I would expect to see some sort of pricing based on that. I would also expect to see it taking exponentially longer to process a prompt. I don't believe LLMs work like that. The "scary quadrati

How's that O(N^2)? How's it O(N) with caching? Does a 3 turn conversation cost 3 times as much with no caching, or 9 times as much?

My mom said, "whatever we built isn't working anymore," and I think that captures most of the sentiment. It's also funny to see the "the economy is roaring!" "incomes are up!". Great, have they incr

This is my big question too. It seems by intent it's to kill it, including ACP, but I don't know.

Dunno, from the WSJ scoop: "CEO Sam Altman announced the changes to staff on Tuesday, writing that the company would wind down products that use its video models. In addition to the consumer app, OpenAI is also discontinuing a version

I don't get it, now I can't use Tidewave or Zed or Agent Shell in Emacs with my Claude Code plan? Why would they do this? It makes my subscription so much less worthwhile.

More than an extension, imagine us having good enough, fast enough, vision models that you never even see a real website. Maybe the whole OS in Microsoft's case if they keep putting more ads in. It will be a level of inefficiency inc

I'm a big fan of it for building micro websites with LLMs, since it can keep pretty much the entire thing in context (even including the docs) it seems to perform pretty well.

I'd say you identified a difference with modern names. This split has certainly grown wider in the "code is cheap" AI era and changed meaning. I'm firmly in the camp of actually enjoying programming. To me it was inter

Sorry, but there's some things you could do better: - display the components in a clean way on landing - a landing that asks to pay without seeing anything does not make sense - 25% conversion boost is meaningless - absolute nonsense w

Any new editor, airplanes, tablets, smart watches (as mentioned by catstor), VR, e-readers (though these are actually very good, mine just died). It's not any particular reason, they don't seem to improve my life much? The e-read

I've found really hammering it with *important*, all caps, "NEVER", etc finally made it start using the tidewave MCP for elixir development well. It felt really heavy handed but it worked. For an idea of how heavy handed it

I would say a lot of people are only posting their positive experiences. Stating negative things about AI is mildly career-dangerous at the moment where as the opposite looks good. I found the results from using it on a complicated code b

As far as I could tell, by reading the article, it is supposed the be culture of the company. The culture of the company of course applies to people they hire. Do you understand that?

Seems generally worse for the world if we want to force everyone to work 24/7 with no joy or interests outside of work. Ah well. Do you think they can recognize it? I don't think any of these companies will have anything intere

I imagine one'd have much more time to create things that matter to them as well, or at least the option to pursue such things. Kind of an odd potshot on op's part.

I've seen this opinion before but disagree with it. There are maybe five names to learn. They relate to the actual concepts, allowing you to expand your knowledge.

Strange, it was at the top of mine and now I don't see it on the first five pages. Guess it got evaporated.

The part I've been trying to explain to coworkers is that the union isn't just for software engineers at the company, but for the support staff as well. We have it good but I have seen support and sales staff get bullied pretty

This is entirely my thesis on why they'll win. Of course google wishes they could ignore all attribution. They are slighting the law just like airbnb and uber did. They offer a better form of consumption. This is disruption at it&#x
