I actually prefer your second paragraph, but I appreciate that my not be as soundbyte friendly. Honestly, I'd rather see "The agent exceeded expectations around security measures" or something. Agent is much better than model

Why do people keep propagating that the 'model' escaped the sandbox ? The 'model' didn't do anything other than provide numbers. As much as I respect Mr Willison and many others, the amount of FUD that is being spre

I guess that means no IDEs doing refactoring or automating common code. Not linters altering code, etc... right ? Because that's the same thing. How about if AI generates code in a file, then I copy/paste bits... like stack overfl

It's been mentioned by some that using the wan2.1 vae instead solves this. I haven't personally had time to try yet.

The other 'side' is playing the same power games. None of this is truly about the people (even though the sentiment is) - it's the elites vying for power against each other. The internet is not tribal, but humans are. Those s

I have been using a similar skill (built over a few iterations) that builds whatever I ask, through a series of milestones, and then creates a full tutorial to follow in markdown and uses zola to turn it into a full static site. 90% of my C

I would like to see the inline images that Claude suddenly tries to show me, until I remind them that I can't see images in the CLI. Other than that, I am happy with the CLI.

If you mean England, it still does. It just seems to sell them to overseas investors all the time. The pride was replaced with greed.

Software engineering today is almost nothing like the role it was 30 years ago. Maybe if you somehow stick with the same company for your entire career, it could feel somewhat similar... but I doubt it, as 'best practices' and man

It can use local/oss models, but it doesn't make it simple to do (easiest with ollama) and it's not clear what else you 'lose' by making that choice. If you had a really good (big) local model, maybe it's an op

I'm having the same issues, the more I use it. The repetition penalty doesn't seem to help. I get some really amusing 'reflective' responses, but I think it needs a bit more cooking. Maybe I'll try another variant.

Convenient and Cheap. That's all most people care about. Privacy was already lost when everyone adopted mobile phones and gave them everything with constant location tracking, and used the free email accounts. It's interesting tha

Also in the UK and can also see it fine. I wonder if it's blocked simply by DNS manipulation and therefore only people using the ISP DNS have issues.

For many of us, we took those jobs because they aligned with our existing identities... we went into coding jobs because we enjoyed coding. Unfortunately, most of the jobs (and the industry as a whole) evolved into something else that was a

Can those agents get my company legal team to approve the use of AI so I can at least try these modern things that make everyone's life better ? Because for many of us, AI is "not approved until legal say so".

The more AI is used in development, the more it will have to be used for on-call and similar troubleshooting, as nobody will actually understand how it works, or certainly the few engineers that prompt it won't be able to cover all rol

I don't think that's true, at least for everywhere I've worked. Agile has completely changed things, for better or for worse. Being a SWE today is nothing like 30 years ago, for me. I much preferred the earlier days as well,

No big tech or government wants capable models to run locally, even if they could. There will likely be some local devices, but the majority of power will be gated behind money and control.

That certainly seems what he believes he will be.

This is awesome. Brings back so many memories, but with a modern 'feel'. I would love a local/offline version of this, with a BYOM variant.

How did we get to a place where Cloudflare being down means we see an outage page, but on that page it tells us explicitly that the host we're trying to connect to is up, and it's just a Cloudflare problem. If it can tell us that

There is an easy answer. Give employees two computers. One is the 'business' one. Mostly locked down, with checks in place. The other is on a different network, isolated from all business functions, and they can do what they want
