I have no idea where most people writing code have worked at but in all product and platform teams I worked at the code quality has been much higher than the latest slop SOTA llms can output. TLDR: coding is not solved. I have 2 projects, o

How do you filter noise from signal in programming resources?

In the past I managed to get measureable performance optimizing a harness by looking at few traces to see if the traces contained surprised, a lot of text in order to figure out how to use my custom tool, then renamed the tool, changed some

Does any of them support more advanced functionality that can be provided with plugins? Similar to how, let's say, Emacs has slime for lisp? From what I see helix has stopped being developed, probably ppl think its done but i feel its

Fully agree with this. I did that for pi for a while, maintained it and brought merges from upstream while having my own patches on top but then went on holidays and there was that refactor where the agent pipeline failed... now I'm st

So I can take that as ~infinite amount of tokens don't don't even get you 2x on any novel tasks? No auto-researcher, no rsi.. Is that correct?

Done, I'll take any other suggestions and apply them later, I will also split it a bit for different usecases as this was initially a throwaway prototype but found it useful. Basically it needs a bit more human touch.

Usage? Not exactly. But I tried to make something that can estimate dollars per tokens in actual usage while taking into account multiple factors. https://harness.eveid.com/lazy-harness-cost-simulation

I created a simulation for coding harnesses based on my own pi sessions. When taking into account all factors, DS-v4-Pro is cheaper than gpt-5.6-luna due to caching. Look at the bill segments difference for cache read cost and uncached cost

I've been extracting the asar and using it for a while on linux, I rarely start it but it's nice that I can start a session in chatgpt and then move on to codex in the same UI. It's packed with features, voice mode, browser.

No owners, no responsability, no incentive to fix it. Ticket grabbers and checklist markers.

I really want an AI tutor (ai learning harness) that I can give it a topic, it can synthesize information from sources, gauge my level, create lessons that I can read, give me exercises, track repetition optimal timings and track my progres

I will never believe the premise of 100x boost from AI, why are we still pushing this narative? Yes, AI is amazing in small, constrained, focused pieces of code but the code is nowhere fit for production and the last 10% needed to ship show

Exactly, and even when humans make bad decisions there is some friction, I feel that llm's don't have/notice that friction, they just bulldoze without caring about anything else.

This is exactly why people shouold share what they are doing with ai, so we know whwn it works, the scope, tech...etc. Thank you for sharing.

I'm not sure about "useless" but from my experience agentic coding leads to death by a thousand cuts for all projects I've seen so far. Small decisions missed in a codebase that leads to degradation in correctness, relia

I had the same experience after almost 4+ days going without sleep. A friend came to check up on me after I fell asleep, I woke up and started telling him a whole story that made no sense, but I said it with such importance that for a week

You assume that exploitation and material improvement can not coexist. You can be exploited just as well, by that I mean you're not getting a fair share for what you contribute to the system.

That's amazing, over time I got a few memory related crashes w/ bun but have deep respect for the performance work put in. Hopefully Rust's compiler will help even more. Off: I'm wondering if now when more JS finds place

I feel this is the wrong way to go about things and I agree that it rude. Why not start by engaging with the warp project and see if some of this work could be upstreamed and if you like warp, target longevity?

Congratz to the team. I really like zed and started using it quite early, loved the text threads and was using them a lot as I don't think llms fit in a box of only agents, they were a nice way to manage conversations, work through the

I estimated that even with heavy usage it would cost your around 30-70$ depending on caching at around 40M tokens. That would give you around double the usage compared to gpt-5.5 on the 200$ sub

So the R line (R2) is discontinued or folder back into v4 right?

Claude seems so frustrating lately to the point where I avoid and completely ignore it. I can't identify a single cause but I believe it's mostly the self-righteousness and leadership that drive all the decisions that make me dist

Are there any plans to support other frontend frameworks? If I wanted to use it today in something like svelte how should I go about it?

I've forked it locally, to be honest I haven't merged upstream in a while as I haven't seen any commits that I found relevant and would improve my usage, they seem to work on the web and desktop version which I don't use

The only thing I'm wondering is if they have eval frameworks (for lack of a better word). Their prompts don't seem to have changed for a while and I find greater success after testing and writing my own system prompts + modificati

I think it should matter. When you ask the AI something you are in a frame of mind, you have a specific context, the question also holds value and context that might completely change the parsing of the answer or at least the difficulty of

I don't disagree with the concept of AI being another abstraction layer (maybe) but I feel that's an insult to a CNC machine which is a very precise and accurate tool.
