Also Claude Code is very good at writing small scripts/on-off test cases to confirm bugs, so I wouldn't even say the initial premise is correct.

The big problem is that raw SQL has pretty bad type inference and linting support in most editors. A query builder can still give you a lot of type safety benefits.

I mean the easiest explanation would be that the model harness doesn't always take the most likely token but does top-k sampling or similar. temperatur just means that probabilities get more and more equalized, boosting the chance that

OP wanted to set up a nested copmany structure. Instead of Person -> LLC it goes Person -> Limited Partnership --> LLC. The in between company is only for tax-efficiency and has nothing to do with limited liability.

The question is, is that really only due to data center geo? I am always amazed how low latency and high quality Facetime between Europe <-> Australia is. Seems like good engineering can overcome less optimal geographics.

If this works `git clone me@github.com:me/mine.git release_01 && ln -s release_01 /var/www/me/mine/current` then your Docker builds should also be extremely quick. Where I have seen extremely slow docke

I always feel like I am taking crazy pills when I read these threads. The k8s API and manifests config feels like a create standardardized way to deploy containers. I wouldn't want to run a k8s cluster from scratch but EKS has been pre

I don't disagree that very numerical tasks like revenue forecasting are not a good fit for LLMs. But neither did a lot of data scientist concerns themselves with such things (compared to business analysts and the like). Software to ach

Do those use cases need LLMs? Probably not. but if good results can be had with a day of prompting (in addition to the stuff mentioned in the article, which you have to do anyway) and a smaller model like Haiku gives good results why would

As others have mentioned, one big issue is that every company does these things differently and just because someone texts you a link doesn't mean it's phishing, even though it feels shady. In Australia I have had calls by immigra

I think people are mainly confused because the AirPod Pros are quite competitively priced compared to other higher end offerings. The Max are so far off the market that it doesn't seem to make any sense and it seems unlikely that apple

I mean it's not like Stripe was founded yesterday. Stripe: 2010 Paypal: 1998 I'd argue that 99% of the "internet gdp" happened after Stripe was founded

We have an airtag in our cargo bike, connected to our ipad (neither my wife nor I have an Iphone). It never actually makes a sound and we can reliably track on the ipad. what gives? I never thought about this.

Id argue that this isn't so much a fault of the MCP spec but how 95% of AI 'engineers' have no engineering background. MCP is just an OpenAPI spec. It's the same as any other API. If you are exposing sensitive data witho

I guess as a corollary, Go really rewards writing the dumbest code possible. No advanced type shenanigans, no overuse of interfaces, no complex composition of types. Then you will end up with a very fast, resource light system that just run

Great list of why one can love and hate Go. I really did enjoy writing it but you never get the sense that you can be truly certain your code is robust because of subtle behaviour around nil.

And during downtime you could sell space on your train car. Maybe even have an app for it, like uber for trains. Or as commonly know, regular trains.

I very much agree with all of this but do you find your friends reciprocate? Also mid 30s, I keep in touch with a few friends but arguably only 1 or 2 consistently reach out on their own.
