My take on this is they are a tool to help speed up your work they are not meant to produce finished work. Humans produce finished work. LLM will never be deterministic cause their entire value is that they are generalizable.

I think Elder Scrolls Oblivion was like 80 person core team and 4 years of development and New Vegas was like 70 person dev team and 2 years of development. But starfield, which was widely criticized by fans, was over 100 people and 8 years

My favorite is 20th Century Food Court in Last Call BBS. Some of the other games remind me too much of work (I’ve bought all of them including the coincidence card games but I have only beaten this one), whereas this one reminds me of fun t

Not really if it takes you 15 minutes to write a 50 line function but it takes the AI 90 seconds then you already are at a 10x speedup just for this task. This (non-yolo mode AI coding) is actually how we used to code in the old days (2023)

As someone who has used multiple vibe coded internal tools: you will care when you use these tools and encounter strange bugs and missing features. The human touch is visible in the way your features work just like in vibe coded art and gam

When people say “you’re holding it wrong” it tells me they can’t even conceive of a better way of doing it. The models produce the same slop for everybody, you don’t have a special way of doing it you lack taste and an opinion on your probl

It won't be an LLM that does it, the entire feature of an LLM is it produces generalizable reasonably "correct" text in response to a context. The system that makes it have an opinion about good vs bad architecture or enginee

I experimented with vibe coding (not looking at the code myself) and it produced around 10k LOC even after refactors etc. I rewrote the same program using my own brain and just using ChatGPT as google and autocomplete (my normal workflow),

The problem we had with Arcs (and Root) is that we didn’t find the strategy as deep as Dune Imperium. If you think about Dune Imperium, when you make a turn, and even between turns, you are constantly considering reveal power vs card powers

I tried a few, the only one that really meshed with me in terms of competitiveness, strategy, constant pivoting and wide decision space is Dune Imperium Uprising. My group started with wingspan which was fun but we ended up hating how much

Theres also spellfix1 which is an extension you can enable to get fuzzy search. And ON CONFLICT which can help dedupe among other things in a simple and performant way.

Personally, if I feel like you vibe coded your SaaS I’m probably not gonna pay for it. You can obviously tell when a project is vibe coded just based on the way it looks, the weird bugs you see and the poor documentation. There’s definitely

Dairy in the UK also tastes far better than in the US. British people often comment how hard it is to deal with the dairy in the US which tastes like water in comparison.

Rails 8.1 and ruby 3 are also very surprisingly fast, and coming back to an “omakase” framework is honestly a breath of fresh air especially now that with AI tools you can implement a lot of stuff from scratch instead of using deps.

I heard that the environment there is 996 with high turnover. So you might be paid double in comparison to a FAANG job but you work double as well. (This was about dev positions not researchers) Anyone know if that’s true? I only heard it s

One really useful usecase for Garage for me has been data engineering scripts. I can just use the S3 integration that every tool has to dump to garage and then I can more easily scale up to cloud later.

The parallel agent model is better for when you know the high level task you want to accomplish but the coding might take a long time. You can split it up in your head “we need to add this api to the api spec” “we need to add this thing to

Not to be overly negative but I’m kinda disappointed with this and I have been a JetBrains shill for many years. I already use this workflow myself, just multiple terminals with Claude on different directories. There’s like 100 of these “Cl

I agree, for me it’s my current weekend project to try to figure out a dirt cheap and high performance self hosted cloud for hosting stuff. So I’m still sticking with Route53 cause it’s the least annoying registrar and DNS api, for CDN I’m

I think AI coding is another part of why this is seeing a resurgence. It’s a lot quicker to build quick and dirty scripts or debug the random issues that come up self hosting.

This isn’t true anymore we are way beyond 2014 Hadoop (what the blog post is about) at this point. Go try doing an aggregation of 650gb of json data using normal CLI tools vs duckdb or clickhouse. These tools are pipelining and parallelizin

I had to do something like this for a few TB of json recently. The unique thing about this workload was it was a ton of small 10-20mb files. I found that clickhouse was the fastest, but duckdb was the simplest to work with it usually just w

Can anyone recommend a good cloud for GPU instances? Was trying to find a good one for 30B quants but there’s so many now and the pricing is all over the place.

This is well intended but I know from experience this is gonna result in you asking “how do you find and kill the process on port 8080” and getting a lecture + “Claude has ended the chat.” I hope they implemented this in some smarter way th
