this is really funny. "the same strict safeguards" and "isolation". ok, Hugging Face and DseWiki would like to have a word

CSS must be the hardest technology out there, because people write these algorithms yet their site breaks completely on iOS safari on an iPhone SE2. Reminded me of when Linear’s CEO shared a post on Twitter bragging about how they only hire

Also share the icky for greasy sunscreen. But there are some with a matte dry texture that not only serves the purpose but also make your skin looks nicer, since it levels out those small color variations. It’s a big market, so they really

> The shape of the solution only becomes obvious once you treat the system as a product and define the requirements honestly. The “honest” part is the important one. It’s also the hardest. It’s so tempting to project preferences onto a n

The path of virtue requires we recognize and appreciate the grace that lies in being humbled by our own stupidity.

It’s because of cowardice. Discussing emotions entails being exposed to some degree, but this strain of so called rationality seems rather to be about distancing oneself from the subject in question, which tends to make people feel and beha

Blender does open in a blink, it is scary how good it is. I share the exact same perception as yourself. In comparison, sometimes I need to use Fusion 360, and its performance is abysmal. I wish I could do parametric design in blender

I think going from horses to cars is one thing, and going from cars to supercars is a whole other thing. We don't see F1 races and go: "Anyday now I'm going to commute to work in a fraction of the time. Cars can be so fast!&q

But "code" is still the core substrate of your production, right? And you probably output even more of it. So how is it that you barely code anymore? One could say you're coding way more, and way harder. And you're right

The very question is biased toward the idea that “something is coming”, as if we’re heading to some technological inevitability. I don’t see it happening. This whole “it’s coming” vibe is the narrative attached to the technology, it has no

Extracting structured data from PDFs is something people have been doing forever, way before LLMs, there are state of the art OCR tools out there you can use as a lib, it’s hardly something that justify using a LLM

Couldn’t all of them be right, though? In the sense that every technology associated with the functioning of the universe had a systemic, spatiotemporal and evolutive dynamic, which appears to be the sensible facets of the universe’s behavi

In the day and age of tweets that move entire markets, countries that have official online profiles and use them as a major mean of public communication, Wikipedia policies feel so lame, mostly because it is not even an encyclopedia, but a

It’s also intriguing how an academic article read by no one would pass as valid source but an YouTube channel with multiple videos about the thing reaching millions of people across several countries and languages would not. I understand it

The landing page is the worst place to get in touch with the reality of the product. Take a STEAM store page, it says nothing interesting about the game, doesn’t even has a gameplay video. Much better to just get to know the product with re

Could they have treated subsidies to inference as a sales and marketing expense, though?

What I find curious is that a machine replacing manual work is a new device in the environment, but LLMs are not new a device, they’re a feature on the device, the device still is the computer, and the operator is the same. There’s another

The issue with tauri is handling big blobs, you either have to serialize them between processes or serve them to the webview via tcp. Albeit dangerous if done wrong, Electron can be configured with direct access to the file system. AFAIK ta

Get real, kepano. You’re overestimating the consciousness of most casual users. Having godmode, RCE-capable plug-ins behind few safety warnings that most people will happily ignore to get shit done is not good engineering. I understand the

Web stack plus lack of resources to architect the proper interfaces is my guess. These are software written in high level js frameworks, thus using poor dataflow patterns by default, mostly just following what is actually possible instead o

remapping capslock to esc is something nobody whom i've shamed into doing can go back from. it's just night and day. i've been thinking lately that the reason we need hjkl is vim is because the keyboard layout is actually bad

Who the hell let agents directly use a database? Even humans don’t get this privilege. So, of all things, we forgot how to write APIs now? The article suggests creating a role for the agent directly in the database. What is wrong with you p

The same applies to the south. It’s shocking to read tales of people spending hundreds of dollars monthly with coding agents, that’s wholly impossible for the vast majority of devs in South America, even 20 dollars is hard to justify for mo

I’m also in this camp. There’s nothing better than to be lost in your own flow. However, I find these moments to be richer when someone is silently tinkering besides you, in sort of a passive interaction. Typical people tend to behave awkw

Like others mentioned, letting the agent touch the code makes learning difficult and induces anxiety. By introducing doubt it actually increases the burden of revision, negating the fast apparent progress. The way I found around this is to

Adobe won’t be hurt by this in the professional market because they have inter-app compatibility and a somewhat consistent language, plus you need their software to work with legacy files. Adobe is cheap, you can get the full suite for a ve

Typst is unfairly good for doing systematic designs. I wrote a template system for a complex product catalog in a couple days. Then I modeled the clients products list (exported from their ERP) to the schema and generated a hundred pages ca

There’s no conflict here. Using a tool to automate what you have validated to be the trivial parts of a production process is the proper use of the tool. Professional designers also use this bias. For instance, I might recognize that creati

Balancing requirements to achieve something you care about is doing design. I take that by “design” here you mean perhaps a particular interface or media, and you reckon that such element is not critical to your solution. If that’s the case
