And what a lot of people seem to miss is that with AI, there is going to be (already is?) orders of magnitude more software in this world. I'm sure a lot of jobs will be eliminated, but new jobs will be created as well. Hopefully enoug

> Creating an issue first is pointless spamming akin to the classic "asking to ask" Many projects disagree with you on this one. It is quite common to have a policy that forbids PRs without an issue or discussion first.

I wonder how much is for training vs for LLMs doing research. On several occasions Claude has gone digging through kernel archives on my behalf (sometimes at my direction, other times all on its own). Usually to determine the current status

This seams neat, but I'm not sure I understand the purpose/difference between this and using the iOS simulator.

I believe you were referring to one kind of eclipsed and with my subtle edit I was referring to a different kind of eclipse :)

The story of how the code got to a certain state belongs primarily in git commit messages, not in comments. Comments should serve to aid in understanding of the code, highlight footguns or hidden dependencies, etc. Claude very often litters

Doesn't it being a phone chip make the efficiency claim more impressive, not less? Moreover, from tfa: > This Dell also beats out both M4 and M3 Mac Studios, only failing to the M4 Mac Mini at 7.57 Gflops/W.

Slightly off topic, but Claude Code (and likely other models/harnesses) are incredibly effective at Nix. It can trivially self-verify, without side effects, which is a perfect match for an LLM. If you've ever been put off by the d

That doesn't sound expensive to me. Not compared to, say, a $1.7M public toilet[0]. To be clear, I do not support Flock cameras. [0]: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/san-fran...

Cheap tokens only benefits SaaS that depends on AI. Otherwise, cheap tokens means it is only more cost effective than it already is to cut out the SaaS and build instead of buy.

OpenRouter doesn't fail over to a different model, it fails over a different provider of the same model.

A lot of my PRs are the result of hours of back and forth between an AI and myself. In many cases the sum total of my prompts is much larger than the final output.

The issue that I foresee is that the point of error becomes decoupled from the UI and the UI doesn't handle a delayed error. Especially if retrofit into existing products.

I worry that optimistic updates is going to become trendy and applied to more software, but without any plan for the "sad path" - failed to sync, sync conflict, etc. Get ready for a whole new era of race conditions and frustration
