The ability to make strange videos as a consumer... it's not inherently good or bad, it'll just be... weird

I'm not talking about Go itself, I'm talking about building an API. All this talk of "string vs type" is not the solution to the root problem - sure, types can be better to return but what if the type changes? You still

Sure... but this is why we have sem versioning and release notes. It's always nice to try and support all users but sometimes you just need to ship breaking changes...

> good actors Aha... dont be naïve... what is the definition of "good" in 2024? Take the US population for example... 50% will say your intentions are "good", the other half will not!

Comments like these are so prevalent and yet illustrate very well the lack of understanding of the underlying technology. Neural nets, once trained, are static! You'll never get dynamic "through-time" reasoning like you can w

I've written (and am writing) extensively why I think AGI cant be as bad as everyone thinks, from a first principles (i.e physics and math) standpoint: https://chrisfrewin.medium.com/why-llms-will-never-be-agi-70... St

Cursor (Claude behind the scenes) can do that, however as always, your mileage may vary. I tried building a whole codebase inspector, essentially what you are referring to with Gemini's 2 million token context window but had troubles w

I still don't see how AI replaces the understanding of what a server is, what DNS is, what HTTP is, or what... I could go on and on. Copy paste is great until you literally dont know where you are copy and pasting

Surprised this passive agressive comment is not further downvoted. Doesn't add to the conversation. Anyway, OP has a point. I hate traveling on the same day everyone else plans to due to some holiday gap / bridge / whatever.

Agreed, in Switzerland this idea of "stretching" is common but I find it stupid. Weather going to be bad? Doesnt matter, I can stretch my total time off 3 days more!!! Total off season to where I am traveling to? Doesnt matter, I

YES! This is the post I have been looking for all my life to point to when all the "enums are a bad pattern" folks come out of the woodwork. I've never understood why people think that - I mean, why would so many languages ha

I started writing a book along side of every video course I make. (I make educational software videos, and discovered that some really enjoy the written version apposed to video - even for software!) I just use LaTeX with some fancy package

I think its a crazy assumption to assume that over 200 years of political precident (4 year presidential terms) will be overturned by someone who got less votes than biden. Every 4 years the same stuff happens, and yet every 4 years there i

I too, fail to see the infatuation people have with revolution / zombie apocalypse / <insert dystopian thing here>... But, people have been trying to predict the end of the world since antiquity so there's that

There are many, many libraries that have sections that have an almost military-level protection (protected atmosphere, security, and so on) I think humanity has done a good job in general on this front

Wow weird this didn't blow up like any other anthropic / google / openai announcement... probably because it's a closed preview? If anyone else comes here the waitlist link is here: https://github.com/git

Not sure what you mean by "complex systems tasks" but most of the leading models have helped me with writing concurrent go code just fine. Not sure if that counts as "complex" enough. However this was prompting, not comp

I'll give you that! Too much of this stuff is sold as the "magic wand" solution... I guess marketing for many products has been like that for a long time...

Lots of people. For certain types of software (ISO) they are required. But I'm in the boat (and also experienced many times first hand) all those tests you write will by definition, never test against that first production bug you get

Testing well is both an art and a science, and I mean, just look at the dev community on the topic, some are religious about TDD, some say unit tests only, some say the whole range to e2e etc. etc. hard to have good training data when there

Finally found a comment down here that I like. I'm also with the notion of tests and also iterating until you get to a solution you like. I also don't see anything particularly "terrifying" that many other comments sugge

It's funny too, because what New Architecture allows (direct access to native interfaces) could solve a lot of the problems with having to fight external dependency hell - you can now write your own, so there's no excuses. But, so

I dont know about you, but sounds like every lazy developer I know... this must be proof of AGI! :D

To be fair, this is NOT the case with native mobile apps. There are some projects like detox that are trying to make e2e tests easier, but the tests themselves can be painful, run fairly slow on emulators, etc. Maybe someday the tooling for

Fantastic stuff, this would be very useful in print art work I do. For those further interested you see the issue this resolves by converting an full color image to an indexed image (often key colors, but low in total pixel count are neglec

Love the motivation! Reminds me of the first stuff I built back in my university days. One thing from and old cranky dev that I notice: it would seem the yml you post has redundancies: either have 4 endpoints, no payload or 4 different payl

But you're comparing apples to oranges anyway... a mathematical problem is vastly different than a q&a problem - which of course involves language which is anyway a lossy form of communication.
