I was thinking about this when I read a post about what would happen if all of a sudden AI stopped working. I think we're building a lot of tools with AI that could have been useful without it; it was just hard to justify spending the

Linear does this, too. It provides a button that copies a branch name to the clipboard based on the ticket id/name.

NDAs often get signed when you join a company.

Could probably ask the AI what changes they'd make to the email.

Right now. AI makes it a lot easier; just say 'remove x feature'.

Or even just let me make a thread in github without associating it with files / a line of code. I hate it when conversations span top-level messages.

In today's AI times, I find it a little amusing to think about emojis as an automation of the craft of making ascii art. Is a little different since people don't get paid for that, but there was a creative component to it.

I completely agree that unverified claims create a heavy burden for maintainers. My only point was about the language used: 'disparaging' to me implies a bad-faith attack or a dismissive attitude, whereas this was just an honest t

FWIW, I don't think the GP post is disparaging (at least as I read it right now.) I think it is fair to list limitations from using a library that provides an abstraction; it can suggest why a tool isn't right for a person's

I learned about Tile via ads in its early days and then eventually bought it.

Maybe one of those trillionaires could help for a bit before leaving to make his own AI model, too.

I think a reason for this is suppose the next year you run into some difficulties so it requires 14.2M. Now you have to fight to request an extra 0.2M added to your budget that you wouldn't have to worry about if you had 15M.

'Everyone over 30 knows this' is a prior assumption (it is not necessarily correct; and nothing is said about shame). The comic strip is saying if above is true, then people still have to learn at some point so on average it would

Reminds me of ZeptoLab (company that made Cut The Rope)'s Pudding Monsters but it adds a lot more variety. (And it combines them together within one square instead of multiple squares and they don't fall off the edge of the screen

Models like Haiku are great if you just want to apply JSON structure to some free text.

For SMS, you can block text messages that match keywords via apps like VeroSMS on the iPhone. There may be similar apps on Android. I personally don't think it is possible to get yourself off all of the lists so I do that and mark as s

Strangely I think it was TechCrunch. But I was reading pg's essays years earlier (maybe through Joel On Software) and already had known about yc. Think it was related to the initial request for startups post: https://techcru

The site has been updated now to use the current domain.

Weird thing is that domain is even available to buy.

If you do have AI write for you, I think it is useful to indicate what is going on by having a rule set up for it. That can at least prepare the reader for reading AI text. I personally find it okay / convenient to have AI respond to P

The line numbers were also used for GOTO and GOSUB (although later on languages supported strings instead of numbers).

There are tools that use LLMs to do this. I've done this manually by building a big feature branch and asking an LLM to extract out functionality for a portion of it. For the former, it would seem to split based on frontend/backen

The GP said more with LLMs than people - not no interactions at all with people and not preferring machines to people. I don't think it is that hard to spend more time talking with LLMs than people if you work in tech and I don't

One thing that is useful to remember is that if you ask AI for help on using some app, it will likely refer to the mobile UI instead of the web UI. I find it annoying that sometimes there are features that are only available in the mobile U

Your original post (and even after this comment I think) was vague in that AI can be used in a lot of different ways in 'production' - to generate code, to manage deployment / scripts, or as part of a feature that uses infere
