I think your argument has two facettes: 1. It is great to see an effect of your thoughts, like something happening in the real world. 2. Coding offers a feeling of perfect control due to the deterministic nature of code. I would argue that

Currently I append the snippet below to prompts where I care about the resulting text. Just putting it in the context up front isn't as effective, and I assume if the overall prompt is large, or the context window is full, it will also

I think most developers and most dev work is now in the field of websites, apps, and other stuff that is by nature connected to the internet, and has some relatively monolithic backend that has not been built with "blast doors" or

So, do you have a counter-argument? Anything that humans can do that goes beyond "pushing probabilities higher"?

I like the thought, but it seems daunting. What about global competition? If some other countries have few or no such taxes, how do you deal with that? Do you outlaw the outsourcing of all white collar work? Outlaw all remote work as well?

Humans are also non-deterministic, for all practical purposes, and the more of them you need to build some piece of software, the harder it can get to keep the likelihood of issues low. I'm not saying it will happen, but at least it&#x

While the topic of this text is very interesting, it ultimately remains a bit unconvincing. Nietzsche is depicted in an oversimplified way as a kind of tortured brute, and Otto Dix' late return to Christianity is rather exaggerated. Di

If you are just talking about contraception, that's a bit reductive. There is a notable percentage of people who regret having kids, despite initially deciding to have them. It is not possible to fully anticipate what it's like. F

I agree all in all. I guess from a pure language POV, one might argue that rust leaves humans with more opportunity to add abstractions that are too clever and too hard to wrap your head around. That doesn't feel like a strong argument

Indeed. My first thought was that this is a roundabout name for ordinary "rulebook slowdown", but of course there are other ways to increase the cost of useful behavior, not just rules. It leads to an interesting way to think abou

I also left yesterday. I thought the mood was still surprisingly calm, considering that there was already enough smoke in the city to make it look like a foggy winter day and smell heavily of campfire. Now I am wondering if my return flight

It's a bit paradoxical to use AI to increase productivity, and then feel the need to work longer hours to fully actualize said productivity. But it's probably a common feeling. I wonder if we'll see an increased number of peo

Yeah, the prices are actually down a few pp compared to record highs recorded before the war. The war might even exert some downward pressure. It increased the cost of living, thus reducing demand for comparative luxuries like new devices.

I think you got downvoted because the problem of the OP was being unable to enjoy music while coding with agents, not lacking the right kind of music. I would like to thank you, though, because this set is incredible. I've listened to

Jira has had issues like this even before vibe coding was a thing. Over the years, I've had to reload the page so often, I do it almost instinctively now, like some kind of hospitalism.

The piano piece is nice. You might enjoy Lubomyr Melnyk. I think its a good approach to discover and build upon what feels good. There are plenty of pianists that can play a catalogue of songs, or improvise "flawlessly", but raren

I mean, it only takes a few paragraphs of filler text, hyperbole, "catchy" juxtapositions, and loose logical threads to raise suspicions. But yeah, I would also like these two minutes of my life back. Well, as someone who has also

As someone who used to be in the writing industry (a whole range of jobs), this take strikes me as a bit starry-eyed. Throw-away snippets, good-enough marketing, generic correspondence, hastily compiled news items, flairful filler text in b

I'm not a native speaker, but to me that quote doesn't necessarily imply an inability of OP to get up the curve. Maybe they just mean that the curve can look flat at the start?

Then again, LLMs are well-suited to translate stuff, a relatively grunt work kind of task, so porting libs to your ecosystem of choice is a lot more feasible now. Perhaps there is a future where individuals can translate large numbers of li
