Bit surprised about the amount of flak they're getting here. I found the article seemed clear, honest and definitely plausible. The deterioration was real and annoying, and shines a light on the problematic lack of…
I've been mulling the same, but decided against (for now) Using Claude Code Max 20 so ROI would be maybe 2+ years. CC gives me unlimited coding in 4-6 windows in parallel. Unsure if any model would beat (or even match)…
Whatever it is, if you have the Omega 13 you get a chance to correct it! Though that one might not help for slow-moving deterioration...

1. Europe doesn't have comparable offerings. The amount of money invested is below what a single hyperscaler spends per quarter. (StackIT might be on track to change that looking at the pure numbers) 2. European…
Happy New Year everyone! 2025 - Visited/lived in: Austria, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, UAE - Started (too many) side-projects - Managed to grow a number of projects / startups - Almost back to…
I have no opinion on the matter but wanted to thank you for teaching me "curmudgeonly".

Germany isn't that big, but the difference between Freiburg and Hamburg is very significant in this case I believe
We're processing tenders for the construction industry - this comes with a 'free' bucket sort from the start, namely that people practically always operate only on a single tender. Still, that single tender can be on…
That's a good point, but I doubt that Sonnet adding a very contrived bug that crashes my app is some genius move that I fail to understand. Unless it's a MUCH bigger play where through some butterfly effect it wants me…
I see your point. Let me clarify what I'm trying to say: - I consider LLMs a pro user tool, requiring some finesse / experience to get useful outputs - Using an LLM _directly_ for something very high-relevance (legal,…
This is a very weak prompt. I might have given this perhaps 4 or 5 out of 10 points, but I asked o3 to rate it for me and it just gave a 3/10: Critical analysis of the original prompt…
Seems like they just threw this at gpt with no system prompt at all? I mean, gpt-4o really isn't a strong model these days, but certainly the answer will not be very useful without a good prompt that hopefully an app…
The typical use case of an API is not that you personally use it. I have hundreds of clients all go through my API key, and in most cases they themselves are companies who have n clients.
Yeah, one fatality for every 7.4m miles vs. 0.9m when driven by humans
Haha lol yes indeed :)
Agree, and for the people who implement them -- yes, it's hard, it's annoying but presumably a well-paid job. And for the (somewhat established or well-financed) companies it's also a bit of a welcome moat I guess.

Lol, I added a todo yesterday: "find or build good image cropper, ideally gl based" ;) Guess the search might be over, thanks!

I had to learn this the hard way when a React app I built showed random crashes I couldn't explain. "Fortunately" it also auto-translated the "I happily accept the terms of use" checkbox in one case into…
