When it does that I feel like it is the clearest example of how dumb these things actually are. Often it takes what you prompted, identifies something as unclear, writes a bunch of chain of thought reasoning around it and just goes off hamm

I’ve been playing around with Luna, Terra and Sol and for the type of work I’ve been doing lately I actually think Sol is just a likely to trip up as Luna. Examples were Sol over assuming, persisting in the wrong direction, over engineering

Grandpa kept a pedometer in a little pouch for decades. I got him a Fitbit but he didn’t like that, and more recently another cheap pedometer off of Amazon.

I agree. How can I see the rest of your blog?

It still sounds quite complicated because you’re creating all this stuff but there has to be some overhead of keeping it all running, repos, hosting, builds etc. I feel like there needs to be a mash up of agents-cloud-MSAccess to actually m

In my experience “we need so create something for this regulatory change / new industry trend” is more common than we need to redo a working piece of software that’s been done before.

Is it not the case that a lot of the recent gains are just the coding harness that directs the LLM? That coding harness isn’t all that intelligent, simple pattern matching that maps to well defined tasks a programmer might do.

I don’t think there is. People who care will go out and try the clothes on in the fitting room or just order online and return. That’s a much nicer experience and more foolproof.

My parents got me one in 1999 after years of me asking. It was such a disappointment when mp3 players like iRiver came out soon after (that should have a page on the graveyard) and then iPod came out. The iRiver and similar product used fla

I remember the personal wiki was a bit of trend 5 years ago but it kind of died because it had an unclear purpose for the most part. I kept one but never really referred to any of the notes and then just went back to a paper and to do list.

There’s something about the Amiga era font and graphic style that I love and I always feel is unique to the Amiga but had trouble pinning it down to a particular developer or graphics artist. Ruff n Tumble is a good example, with like chunk

It’s a bit reductive to call it poking holes. The author shared his valuable knowledge and I shared mine.

Not really strong enough in a post about what to do in a codebase you’re not familiar with. In that situation you’re probably new to the team and organisation and likely to get off on the wrong foot with people if you assume their code “hur

It’s easy enough to filter those out with grep. It still is relatively meaningless. If the team incrementally adds things then it’s just going to show what additions were made. It isn’t churn at all.

This command needs a warning. Using this command and drawing too many conclusions from it, especially if you’re new, will make you look stupid in front of your team mates. I ran this on the repo I have open and after I filtered out the non

Can you talk us through that a bit more? I suspect it would need more access than the permissions you mentioned to be more useful than a simple rules based automation.

It is sort of brilliant (thanks btw) but also stupid to think about. It is easy for people to simply put a sensible monthly amount in a low cost fund and given enough time and steady contributions make life changing amounts of money (early

by jbjbjbjb 7mo ago
Most reasonable people will not have enough conviction to make a serious amount of money even if they’re right. I think a better question is how much would you have invested to make $500k/ $1mn (or whatever a life changing sum is for y

I use Brave to watch YouTube. I was pleasantly surprised that they had so many YouTube related features, blocking shorts is one of them.

> a simple English prompt And that’s where my suspicion stems from. An equivalent original human piece of work from an expert level programmer wouldn’t be able to do this without all the context. By that I mean all the all the shared ins

It’s cool but there’s a good chance it’s just copying someone else’s homework albeit in an elaborate round about way.

I think you’re overstating the effect. The most volume is sold at supermarkets which have the best location for throughout but they also have the cheapest prices.

There’s only so much investable capital available, if it is going to hardware stocks it’s got to be coming from somewhere else. It’s just a substitution toward hardware tech stocks. Economics 101.

Yeah it might be just be a verified token to say I’m citizen of the country. Doesn’t have to be my actual id. The OSA is a crappy implementation.

That’s just the way “freedom news” is framing it. Social movements don’t just happen from grassroots these days. They’re seeded by foreign states. A simpler solution would be require ids for social media posting. If you don’t provide an id
