A genuinely impressive and novel use of machine learning? In this economy? Looks really impressive, although one issue I do see is consistency. For example, it seems to highlight `null` as a value, unless it is on the left side of an `===`

I can kind of see it, but hetzner costs, what, 5€/m for your own server with 10TB traffic included? How is a 4€/m markup remotely justified for what amounts to setting up an apache server and pointing a domain at it? And cutting t

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the EU will actually be able to put any meaningful guardrails on AI, as evidenced by the AI act. I honestly don't know whether it's an off-the-scales level of incompentence or just blatant

Uhm... duh? > or cannot control any of the inputs to the llm Seeing as LLMs are non-deterministic, I think even this is not enough of a restriction.

Unlikely, because the free version of ChatGPT isn't really making them any money, so less tokens is actually better — which I assume is why anthropic pushes Haiku models on free users which are not just more quantized but also less wor

I think part of the problem is that you need a model to classify the data, which needs to be trained on data that wasn't classified (or a dramatically smaller set of human-classified data), so it's effectively impossible to escape

I never had a conversation like that — probably because I personally rarely use LLMs to actually generate code for me — but I've somehow subconciously learned to do this myself, especially with clarifying questions. If I find myself ne

Complaining about JSON and then proceeding to write your API in Dart is... interesting.

It benefits no one to acknowledge that months were spent and the only outcome is millions of dollars wated. Sure, they could try to hold the contractor accountable, but that would put them at risk of being held accountable themselves by the

Looks cool! It would probably be useful if there were a way to include dependencies that aren't shipp packages though. Otherwise, since most projects one might depend on right now don't have shipp support, there's a risk of e

Agreed. I recently had to write a package with some quite complex type inference requirements, so I had to resort to classes. I've since had to issue 17 patches (it's been 3 weeks) even though the package has 100% test coverage.

Was it only a BNF parser generator or did it also help with implementing the language's actual functionality?

I've never heard of such a thing, but it sounds amazing! Out of curiosity: How exactly did it work (for users)? I assume you'd write a grammar on the one pane, but how did you teach the tool to convert it into the output language?
