I used to be on 5.4 high for most of my work. I have switched completely to 5.5 medium now. I would highly recommend trying it out - 5.5 is significantly more token efficient than 5.4 - the same task takes often a third of the tokens - beca

May I ask if you're an insider / some who has first hand information about this?

I founded a UG and a GmbH in 2024. It took me 3 months total including visits to the notary (who charges a non-insignificant sum for their services). I did this as a subsidiary for a US company and literally had to email and call people eve

Agree on all points, especially half of my friend circle being unemployed at one point. Folks with amazing jobs having to spend >1y trying to find a "meh" job. Pretty much impossible to find a job without fluent German.

Most people actually using python do not start off in scripts. Usually, I would mess around in IPython / Jupyter for a couple days until I have something I'm happy with. Then I'll "productionize" the project. tbh th

This is partially why, at least for LLM-assisted coding workloads, orgs are going with the $200 / mo Claude Code plans and similar.

Presumably the tab based edit-prediction model + $5 of tokens is worth the (new) $10 / mo price. Though from everything I've read online, Zed's edit prediction model is far, _far_ behind that of Cursor.

RLHF is not the "RL" the parent is posting about. RLHF is specifically human driven reward (subjective, doesn't scale, doesn't improve the model "intelligence", just tweaks behavior) - which is why the labs hav

Right, it took me a couple of re-reads and I (non-native speaker) ended up asking ChatGPT about it and yes, the sentence is worded incorrectly

As others have said, this is classic selection-effect. Lina Khan isn't coming out and telling people about - the companies that died because acquiring them was too much of a hassle - the companies that died or never got funded / s

I worked at a company where we copied this from Amazon for a specific type of meeting (bi-weekly review). But we also had the other "normal" type of meeting. People never read the documents before the meeting in those "normal

Exactly this. In Germany, the median software developer is treated (and paid) pretty much the same as a blue collar worker, both by their company and by society at large. From calling it "IT" to paying peanuts, no wonder no one sm

This makes sense. And this is only accelerating - I talk to businesses in Germany and there's a genuine, non-insignificant number of people who want their data to be /physically/ in Europe. Take this to its logical conclusion

This is tangential but you seems really knowledgeable about the payments industry. Can you perhaps recommend some sources to understand how the payments infrastructure works (POS but also web/online/mobile)? I only seem to have a

I am utterly baffled by people who use the phrase "The Unix Philosophy" for justifying a piece of software but don't understand that Unix philosophy is in the context of software that can be composed together. That is why t

Yeah, I actually looked at atom sometime back. They have a problem with long lines because their regex engine runs in O(n^2). I suggested that they switch to a regex engine that runs in O(n). https://github.com/atom/ato
