It's not as locked down as you might think. I was surprised how easy it was to root a couple of devices, one an old pixel and one a pretty new one It's definitely a bit odd, the Android environment, but I didn't feel…
I mostly use TUI because it's convenient, my editor already has good terminal management and keybindings. The GUI I reach for when it's a longer task I don't have interest in writing myself. Anything important in my…
What are all those mobile devices and servers running on?
> Those layers of proper abstraction is what's largely missing currently. Or rather, is merely vaguely approximated. This I can agree with, and my perspective would be that we have theoretical solutions with no…
Because systemtic problems are often better explained through structural relationships rather than personal failings? I don't disagree with the point that a lot of software that isn't pressured to be shipped quickly…
Right, it entertaining to me to prompt an LLM with a build error or a runtime dependency error and it will literally start reverse engineering things before even attempting to look at docs.
> The only way to do that is to make your code provable. That again is only realistically doable using AI. I think that LLMs actually cannot do this right now while people can? Also there is a lot of defensive…
Idk I routinely see the LLMs repeat validations that already happen in another layer or it imagines things that don't exist
I'm convinced Claude is just an energy vampire in machine form at this point lol
Right, for me Qwen 3.8 is perfectly usable for a lot I just wish it was faster.
I've been making a lot of use of it because its the first model in a while I can actually bounce ideas off of and it doesn't try to immediately solve the thing or drown me in irrelevant edge cases that aren't applicable
I recently saw a language posted that caught my interest. I went into the docs and read the page "How X compares to Y", and Y is my favorite language Within the first couple of paragraphs and bullets it made a…
> I tried to have an AI iterate on a step i don't fully understand yet and i always regretted it. I had to accept this one too even for pretty simple things. I had an LLM wire up a neovim connection handler for me…
One side is trying to escape suffering and death, the other is trying to create profit from their work. "Voluntary" is not a word I would use to describe any agreement where one side is choosing between the deal and…
I think you need to pause and consider how significant the mind is in the body. I've lived in my car before and I will take that over consistent psychological distress of something like that. I don't think that's…
One thing never changes: class warfare :o
The fact basically this entire comment section has been downvoted says so much about HN
Odd I thought that only proves them right, it's a best attempt with natural language by capital and the state, the two major forces of power in our society, and they still get burned.
Good point. Writing has to create a narrative in a way code does not. It's generally very structured when written for others and not just ourselves, and I would say you can probably be looser with writing than code in…
Then why do I greatly prefer reading code snippets over language in basically every setting that software is involved in? I say this as a hyper verbal person (ie: much of my internal world is dominated by language and I…
Yup. For me up until 90/100ish it's a pretty significant improvement all the way up and after that I don't know if I could notice outside of a fast game or wiggling the cursor over a contrasting color I'm sure a lot of…
Right I feel like they just got to a point where they can reliably write individual functions with direction. Every time I've tried to use them consistently I feel like I just end up spinning wheels from them doing…
Oh this is funny I completely forgot and installed FreeBSD today, I'm doing a refactor on my compiler so this is a good first target. o7
Thank you. These things are clearly designed to make people complacent and reliant and we already see studies showing how they legitimately cause negative cognitive effects in a lot of people. The further this goes on…
I'm still in the middle of reading but I wanted to comment first that I had a pleasantly surprising experience a few years ago with CGI. I hadn't thought about CGI since I was a kid and I was tasked with adding a simple…
