These are like $20-50 subs, you’re probably paying your dev a hell of a lot more. Let them use the tools they want. I spend almost all of my time in Emacs or Cursor, but I still haven’t found a database client that I…
Wow, that sucks. Getting Claude for everyone wasn’t even the stupid thing, it was thinking that a shiny new hammer meant you could throw away all your wrenches.
To 2., yes - you just have to look in the right places. You're sure to find them in middle/high school or university robotics teams, for example. When computing was niche, you really only got into if you had a real…
You don’t need to know what proton is to click ‘install’ in Steam.
Not really? I did something similar for a different device recently. It can make files and has access to bash. It's perfectly capable of installing packages and writing small scripts basically entirely autonomously. No…
All the LLM logprob outputs I've seen aren't very well calibrated, at least for transcription tasks - I'm guessing it's similar for OCR type tasks.
I’ll say that, I think this varies by language/SDK - at least with the Temporal TypeScript SDK, a simple single idempotent step background task is however many lines of code to do the actual work in an activity, and…
It's a tool. The first time you used a shell you had to learn it. The first time you used a text editor you had to learn it. You can learn how to use it, or you can put it down if you think it doesn't bring you any…
It’s one thing for you (yes, you, the user using the tool) to generate code you don’t understand for a side project or one off tool. It’s another thing to expect your code to be upstreamed into a large project and let…
> The music industry already went through this with AutoTune and we know how that turned out. Yeah, it turned out that almost all mainstream tracks nowadays have post-processing on vocals (the extent varying between…
I understand that you're being glib about buses or trains, but the driver is a large part of the operating costs of a bus, and additionally driverless buses might make more frequent but smaller buses more economical.
For your examples, honestly yeah. A dev should familiar with the basic concepts of their language and tech stack. So yes, they should be able to understand a basic snippet of code without Google, an LSP, or even a…
Yes, but the federal government uses far more than just Office. Microsoft is very far from being at risk of failing, but if it did happen, I think it's very likely that the government keeps it alive. How much of a…
fyi your (?) css is messed up for the 'Show activities by...' images on a viewport that's the size of a macbook pro 14" display split in half vertically
Google sheets
Do they? Are there any production cars under 20k? Plenty of used ones for that.
You give the LLM search tools.
You mentioned grep-mode, which to my knowledge is just bringing up a buffer with all the matches for a regex and easily jumping to each point (I use rg.el myself). For the record, this is basically the same thing as…
Finding and jumping to all the places is usually easy, but non trivial changes often require some understanding of the code beyond just line based regex replace. I could probably spend some time recording a macro that…
I don't think that's the case in TFA, because then why would recent layoffs matter?
This is my number one complaint with LLM produced code too. The worst thing is when it swallows an error to print its own error message with far less info and no traceback. In my rules I tell it that try catches are…
Yeah I don't think a business is going to try to force the issue when a geoblock is simple to implement. If it happens, it's probably going to be some kind of advocacy group pushing it.
As far as I understand it (IANAL), this ruling decides that the speech restrictions imposed by the Texas ID verification law are compliant with the 1st amendment. It didn't touch on whether or not Texas can enforce its…
If an state AG tries to prosecute an entity that has no ties to the state other than content being passively accessible, that's probably another supreme court case if it doesn't get immediately decided in favor of the…
What incentive to sell off the plot does LVT create that doesn't already exist, maybe with a marginally lower degree? I'm guessing the reason they can't sell a tiny weirdly shaped lot is that no one wants it. If they…
