This feels like all the labs have reached the peak of what is possible with the LLM architecture and just need an excuse to spend the next decade finding the next big jump in intelligence.

A played it, got stuck in a giant crater with seemingly no way to get out of it. That was basically the extent of my experience.

I'm still on a Series 6. Don't see a reason to buy the new one at all.

Go has Google behind it. It's a much more established language with far more mature packages and a much bigger ecosystem. If you're using Nim then you're relying on few libraries/tools written by hobbyists who don't

Genuinely curious what is keeping you using Nim. Is it just sunk cost fallacy at this point? LLMs actually make the case for Nim worse IMO. The language is more expressive than Go and more productive for human coders, but in the age of LLMs

Honestly seems like a good move. It also isn't likely to be very difficult with the help of LLMs.

AGI to me is reached once the intelligence is self motivated, i.e. it doesn't rely on us prompting it into action. I don't see how LLMs will ever get to that stage.

Wow, looks amazing. Qt6 seems to be really great. Is there a free open source tool for video editing that has the same UX chops?

Workers are great for this sort of thing and these days with Turnstile and Email Sending beta[1] you can have Cloudflare handle it all 1 - https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/

I cannot imagine being able to plan the next thing when I don't know what issues the coding agent might run into with the previous/current task. It feels like a waste to be planning the next thing when my previous plan may turn ou

For me music is usually a must. I need to drown out any potential distracting noise.

I've been doing this on my latest personal project. What I've realised I missed the most is feeling in the zone or in a "flow" state as some call it. It really feels amazing. Coding agents take that away from you. I real

I don't really understand why these tariffs are taken seriously. Haven't basically all previous tariffs been cancelled and refunded?

They could at least use both. I'm pretty annoyed with Andy Burnham. He's had a Bluesky account that has been pretty active... right up until he became a PM. Would it kill him to get a member of his team to repost his tweets to Blu

Huh. I thought that is actually the EU that allows self declared conformance, rather than the FCC. But looking into this it seems both do? I recall trying to build some hardware in 2020 and getting discouraged because of the CE/FCC sil

I exposed this JSON API in the same style as their original API at api.reddiw.com and they banned my account without warning. I explicitly included my reddit username in the user-agent so that they could reach out if they had a problem with

They can have memory, it's just limited to their context window.

Really? Well that's sad. I'll be going to see my first partial eclipse this week.

Not the person you're replying to, but this is genuinely the killer feature of the UK. Yes, we get heat waves and more of them now, but it's much better than mainland Europe. Especially if you stay away from London (which I would

I don't think that's the reason. The fact is that HTML/CSS gives far more flexibility for design than any native framework has ever done. Also, nope, it's not easy to make a UI using native desktop frameworks, especially

by dom96 1mo ago
I've used GTK in the past and I wouldn't consider it robust nor easy to use. But most importantly, it doesn't look good, especially on macOS. No matter how hard you try, you cannot make it feel native. But the point is: LLMs

I hope and believe that some great companies and teams will use LLMs to build higher quality software. We built Electron because writing UIs using native desktop frameworks is tough. Is it still tough? Surely LLMs make it easier to use and

> Models just got good at writing code this year That's not correct, is it? Opus 4.5 came out in Nov 2025. Some might say models were good at coding even before that.

We can get the best of both worlds: privacy and age checks. The governments just need to implement ZKP passports/IDs and give them to everyone.

Yeah, I wasn't planning to run the cold loops through the existing radiator piping. I just want the ability to cool at least 1 room by reusing the air-to-water system, even if that means the FPU requires its own piping from the outside
