Travelling to a 3rd world country with genuinely poor people can help, a bit. When you see the houses genuinely poor people live in, it purs things into perspective. Being in appartment where the roof... is broken. And you have no way to fi

Depends on the scope. Simple things might be docstrings or sections in READMEs, bigger things issues/tickets or a page on Notion/Google Docs or whatever you use; overview there or in your head. The crucial mindset imo is that you&

Cursor does this for me already all the time though, give that another shot maybe. For refactoring tasks in particular; it uses regex to find interesting locations , and the other day after maybe 10 of slow "ok now let me update this f

What is "understanding code", mental model of the problem? These are terms for which we all have developed a strong & clear picture of what they mean. But may I remind us all that used to not be the case before we entered this

It would be possible if you had a matrix of speakers covering all walls & ceiling. In that scenario you could control the entire sound landscape across the board, and cancel out or simulate arbitrary sound sources in the room.

This already exists. Look at cursor with Linear, you can just reply with @cursor & some instructions and it starts working in a vm. You can watch it work on cursor.com/agents or using the cursor editor. Result is a PR. Also github

You can tell chatgpt to notify you when something changes about something, and tell it how often it should check. It currently sends you a notif even if nothing changes, but that's easily swiped away. So in your case you could say: Tel

Basically yes, but I do hear nuance, idk if it's right - "try and" feels more daring, like "I think you can't", while "try to" feels more neutral, just a command.

Meanwhile, Safari asks you if you want to close Netflix, while you're watching Netflix, because it uses too much power.

There's studies showing that LLM makes experienced devs slower in their work. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same for self study. However consider the extent to which LLMs make the learning process more enjoyable. More stud

I'm second language too, so I checked the article, and it seems fine otherwise apart from the title; I'd expect the title to get extra care. Anyway it's flagged anyway.

I quickly worked at a company like that, that had large parts of their core business logic running on an AS400, and they were asking what they need to do to migrate to something newer - was surreal. A few hundred employees all interacting w

I would go so far as to say that the reason people feel LLMs have stagnated is precisely because they feel like they're only progressing a few percentage points between iteration - despite the fact that these points are the hardest.
21.
by posix86 1y ago
But that's how progress works! To me it makes sense that llms first manage to do 80% of the task, then 90, then 95, then 98, then 99, then 99.5, and so on. The last part IS the hardest, and each iteration of LLMs will get a bit further

Talented people don't have to go through as much embarrassment as others because they learn faster than normal & will impress through that, even if they're worse at what they're doing. Also, once you are truly good at som

Not sure what you mean, cursor has agents, that run in feedback cycles, checking e.g syntax errors before continuing, reflecting, working for minutes if need be, can execute commands in your terminal, check any file it wants. What can cc do

I wish they'd port the windows terminal to linux. It somehow allows to use ctrl + c for both cancelling processes and copying text. I'm still sometimes opening dev tools in chrome bcs of the annoying ctrl + shift + c.

One thing that sounds very nice about Github are merge queues: Once your PR is ready, rather than merging, you submit it to the merge queue, which will rebase it on the last PR also on the merge queue. It then runs the CI on each PR, and fi
