Actually it’s easy to generate « fake discussions ». Just throw text around and wait for the other side to do it. How wait, LLM are build around that premise. I don’t see the goal here, other than finding new outcomes in life to solve our p

It’s maybe an ethical and identity problem for most people. The idea that something not grounded in biology has somewhat the same « quality of intelligence » as us is disturbing. It rises so many uncomfortable questions like, should we acc

Because companies made models build/stolen from other people’s work, and this has massive layoff consequences, the paradigm is shifting, layoffs are massive and law makers are too slow. Shouldn’t we shift the whole capitalist paradigm

Does it also means the US government has x1000000 more power than the one in 1950 ?

I agree. It’s really easier to build low-impact tools for personal use. I managed to produce tools I would never have had time to build and I use them everyday. But I will never sell them because it’s tailored to my needs and it makes no s

Having a team of 8 people producing code is manageable. Having an AI with 8 agents that write code all day long is not the same volume it can generate more code in a day that one person can review in a week. What you say is that, product t

For someone at your position with your experience it’s quite depressing that your job is going to be automated. I feel quite anxious when I see young generations in my country that say themselves they are lazy about learning new things. The

Do you mean, from your perspective, within 2 years humans won’t be able to bring anything of value to the equation in management and control ?

Ofc people are non deterministic. But usually we expect machines to be. That’s why we trust them blindly and don’t check the calculations. We review people’s work all the time though. Here people will stop review machine LLM code as it’s k

The difference with a purely still photograph is that code is a functional encoding of an intention. Code of an LLM could be perfect and still not encode the perfect intention of the product. I’ve seen that in many occasions. Many people d

In this case why can’t other agents just automate your job completely ? They are capable of that. What do you bring in the process of still doing manual organization ?

Drop AI, open a basic editor and write everything by hand without asking anything to AI. Do searches by yourself. That’s how world worked for decades pre 2022. Debug by your own, without asking anything to AI as well.

Some codebase are a logical mess and have bad names as well. Sometimes Claude is wrong because the semantics of our legacy codebase doesn’t makes sense. Sometimes it find problems at the wrong places because of that.

Many non-dev people think LLM does the thinking and the typing. That’s where the misconception comes from as regards to LLM replacing completely developers I guess

I second that, after more than a decade of all quoted entertainment I started to read books again and that’s really refreshing. Just choose a good book and no bad acting or directing gets in the way. I read sci-fi books and I wondered if I

So among the hundreds of things that makes an OS garbage, you’ll likely place as top criteria an UI you use once a year. Windows settings has been the worse of the worse of all UI settings ever. That’s my criteria then, macOS is luxury in

I also like to hack things but you understand that what drive Mac sales are not people who’d like to hack the system but regular people on a massive scale. Linux does not have this problem because there isn’t the same kind of economics invo

In what way does MacOS feels like garbage ? I use it everyday on a +5y MacBook and it’s an absolute blast. Powered on for weeks without reboot, 3x4K 32inch screens, hundred of chrome pages and apps opened and it’s all smooth. Ofc I don’t ev

I 1000% agree with you. Companies are unreasonable and it kills the UX in a majority of cases. That makes us hate ads
82.
by shinycode 8mo ago
Ads per se aren’t necessarily a problem. It’s good to be able to discover companies et products. The problem is bad ads, ads that lie, ads for fake products or unfair ads. Also, too much ads is also a problem

Also anecdote but most low-tech people I know are using chatGPT like google search and will never pay for it. Maybe that’s why chatGPT Ads will work beautifully with them

Absolutely and I hope you understand my point as well. Actually I’ve never been able to learn an instrument and I always wanted to make music. I’m all in to make music without having to learn anything complicated. Other people might not hav

by shinycode 8mo ago
Actually with AI the music is made for you. I don’t have to learn how to play the piano the guitar or anything. I just prompt what kind of instrument I want to. Is that still « making music » ? Idk, for me it’s not the same. In the end I’m

by shinycode 8mo ago
People just enjoy and value the process of making music. Just like you could enjoy the process of drawing, or doing sports. Given the amount of talented musicians that do not live off their art, most of the time they value the process and

I did something similar with Claude code, I did not write a single line of code and it’s hosted on cloudflare workers. With the free tier it’s enough for one person (and I feel safer to own and host my private data). Works beautifully. You

It depends on the task but I have different Claude commands that have this role, usually I launch them from the same session. The command has the goal of doing an analysis and generating a md file that I can execute with a specific command

Every time Claude Code finishes a task, I plan a full review of its own task with a very detailed plan and it catches itself many things it didn’t see before. It works well and it’s part of the process of refinement. We all know it’s almost
