True, but with visual art there is what is correct and what looks correct. When things are moving and the area small no one is going to notice. But now that is problem is solved a director will come along and say... I want a scene with a b

I switched back to 4.5 Sonnet or Opus yesterday since 4.6 was so slow and often “over thinking” or “over analyzing” the problem space. Tasks which accurately took under an minute in Sonnet 4.5 were still running after 5 minutes in 4.6 (yeah

Look up Sean Bell - not a stop a frisk, just an open fire. Once, my wife and I were stopped, but not frisked, and cited for riding bikes, on a sidewalk at 2AM on a stretch of Atlantic Ave that would kill you to ride on. It made no sense, u

This is our experience. We have added Sorbet to a 16 year old Rails app. It is a big win in avoiding errors, typos, documentation, code completion, fewer tests are required, etc. And the LLMs take advantage of the types through the LSP and

And won’t the authService.register function also error if the user already exists? Or will it allow double registering the account? There are deeper problems here that a Result type is not gonna fix.

Something that the type system should do is "make impossible states impossible" as Evan Czaplicki said (maybe others too) We have started to use typed HTML templates in Ruby using Sorbet. It definitely prevents some production bu
