The concept of winter pretty much stopped existing where I live. It's just colder autumn. The ground doesn't freeze. Snow doesn't accumulate. No amount of meandering is going to compensate for the fact that the mountains do n

I had a similar observation this year. In 2015, I was in California, was doing some hiking on the weekends, and I found it very unnatural how all the grasses were dry, trails dusty, on the hills/mountains. I came back to Slovakia, and

People are not scared of individual droughts. They are scared of the patterns. Here in Slovakia, the last real winter with proper snow depths we had was in 2018, if I remember correctly. There is pretty much no snow anymore. All the water c

Programming asynchronous code is hard. Execution is split up, you have extra state machine to handle, extra resources to manage that need to survive across async boundaries. And by asynchronous, I mean either callbacks or manually checked c

If you are comparing to overlapped I/O, you should use io_uring as reference and cancellation in io_uring is fairly simple.

One problem is that a large part of Europe doesn't understand the concept of public domain. I'm not legally allowed to not own my creation, except by transferring it to someone else. That's why licences like CC0 exist.

I run this on a side of the Claude Pro subscription that I use for other purposes. My main motivation was root cause analysis of production issues. I have a solo project and unfortunately my mental state has been degrading over the last yea

This is is already possible with Claude Code. I use a setup where I have one instance monitoring a local queue, I have a web app for receiving webhooks from various sources and pushing them to the queue. Plus email for things that don'

Of course they do. They have such a huge parameter maps. You need to be able to guide it through the map, so it starts making the right connections. Even in the Sonnet 3.7 days, it became clear to me, that if I have want efficient code out

That was their headline for Opus 4.8, I guess the invested into some post-training to get them to write this, and I like it, it's a great way to identify AI posts from Claude. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-

God I hate reading these LLM-written articles. It also feels like it was one-shotted by Claude, not just the kernel.

If I had coworkers with the ability to program like Sonnet 3.7 did, I'd be extremely happy. In reality, I can probably count 1-3 people like that, out of many over the years. Honestly, pair programming with Opus is better than any pair

As much as I hate to say this, I think it is an user error. Fable is very to the point, much more so than any other Anthropic model. I found it to be cheaper to use Fable, than using Opus for same task, but in order to achieve that, it need

My hope is that Opus 5 will be released soon, basically a rebranded Fable.

I'll have to try it. I was using earlier GLM models, incluing 5.1, and was always disappointed.

I considered Opus 4.5 to be the peak for a while. Opus 4.6 tended to over think, and generally get lost in thinking. I asked something and Claude Code would just spin for 15 minutes. And it was not the harness, if I changed the model to 4.5

Zig has multiple issues, but syntax is definitely not it. It might take a little bit of time getting used to, if you are coming from another language, but it's one of the most readable languages I've ever worked with.

by lukaslalinsky 3mo ago
I was never able to get these models to collaborate with me the way Opus does. I'm probably an outliner, I don't one-shot projects, I don't vibe code. I basically use LLMs are if I was working with a coworker, fairly smart on

I don't have an example, but I know the pattern. You are working on your software, security researcher finds a bug, it's in your project, for you it's just another bug, but for them it's a point on their CV, so they make

I feel that Zig will stay a niche language. In this world, there is no reason for corporations to use anything but Rust for this kind of code. And without the corporate push, it will probably still exist for a long time, but the D trajector

With the amount of problems I had using Redis Sentinel, I really wish there was another way. On multiple occasions, with completely different deployments, it got itself into a non-repairable state where the only option was to drop it and se

I've switched to Valkey and I'm not really looking back. I'm much more comfortable with those people maintaining the software.

Well, I'm just an extremely happy user. I've honestly tried to find an alternative, and couldn't. I'm using it in the context of solo developer and it provides a huge value to me.

It's actually common, many companies develop their products this way. The source is available, you can see the VCS, but you can't participate in the development. That's why I see this as signal that it's going to turn in

What made open source great, is the fact that if you find a problem, you can patch it. It's what motivated me, anyway. Ladybird is not SQLite, it's under development and very likely will be forever. To me it looks like they are tr

Indeed, while there is communication that the situation with merging external pull requests should improve, the reality is that it's easier to land a patch in Linux, than in Zig.

by lukaslalinsky 3mo ago
I wonder how can a new browser engine survive with the source available model. Like, why would anyone support this, unless they have business association with the Ladybird developers?

I've tried many AI code review tools. Nothing comes close to the depth of CodeRabbit reviews. It's the only such tool that can find real logical bugs. I'd love to be able to get Claude Code to do similar quality of review, bu

That's possible, but who are you to tell a person what they should and shouldn't do in their free time.

Just going away from computers for a few days should be enough, the mob will get tired soon.
