I wonder if it’s a bubble thing. People carry on and do what they always did, or just began thinking about what to do with LLMs. Big tech companies and startups may have to move fast and adapt, but I guess many other…
This is great news! I love CSS-Tricks and have bookmarked a lot of their articles over the years. We need reliable sources of learning material that isn’t just LLM-generated to make a quick buck. LLMs by their very…
I merely said that it makes me appreciate it more, not that it is the only thing that makes me appreciate it (I actually read the whole thing and wrote that I enjoyed it). Before generative AI, it would have been rare…
There is also the Wikimedia project Wikivoyage[1], which focusses exclusively on travel guides. I just recently learned about it but haven’t actually used it yet, so I don’t know if it is any good. [1]…
I enjoyed it, but for things like this, I would actually like to know what your genuine contribution was and what Claude did for you. It just makes me appreciate it more when I know that a human made the effort of…
Found Cosmic Osmo on there, one of my favourite games as a child. All black and white and very trippy, but so full of creativity, exploration and wonder. Also my gateway to the Myst series.
This is such a charming and human story about one of these whimsical things that I miss about software development these days. Sure, a few people might be annoyed by this, but for so many it would just bring a smile on…
Maybe it is a work-in-progress and they just didn’t get around to doing all of them (it’s probably a lot of work). Most of the more complex/compound ones don’t have instructions or nets at all. The paper models are…
You can’t, but you can make a reasonable guess that others like you will experience similar to you. We can even assume that (other) animals have inner experiences similar to us, since they are still biological organisms…
I would rather use something like “semblance” or “appearance”. All these terms require an inner experience which we cannot observe in LLMs, we can just see their semblance, like a shadow of the traces of an inner…
I don’t really mind the inconsistencies, it is just something fun and playful to discover and I believe the imperfections add to the charme of such things. It reminds me of the little sketches I made with Processing[1]…
Maybe. But at least some (like me) will become more hesitant to buy newer products or update to the latest system (I am still on Sequoia because of all this crap lately). And we will also become more hesitant to…
The thing with a lot of these tricks is that you have to get into the habit of using them. I knew `Ctrl+r` for history since I learned about the command line. I even have a nice shell integration with fzf. But I still…
I don’t really see X as Twitter anymore. The old Twitter is long gone, Bluesky for me is its spiritual successor and everyone I know from Twitter is there now (Mastodon is its own thing somehow, still nice but feels…
I know it’s hard for some people (for understandable reasons), but at some point we have to ignore the X site completely and make politicians and public services/institutions aware that some people do not have or want…
HN mostly depresses me these days, so I appreciate this! (nice to see vibe-coding put to good use for once)
I see a possible future where we have ultra thin devices that can be successively unfolded to larger formats based on this ratio, making size-based product variety obsolete. After that we get screen origami.
I really like the EDN[1][2] (extensible data notation) format that is used mostly by Clojure for config and data transfer/exchange. It is so much more expressive than JSON and supports a well thought-out set of elements…
Yeah, "first source" is the key here. The information should be available openly and independently of any 3rd-party platform. In a broader sense, I believe that every person who publishes on the internet should have a…
My guess is that everything "reliable" in LLM/agentic-coding comes down to either calls to reliable/deterministic tools or providing well-defined success criteria (such as loads of unit tests) for the LLM to throw its…
I second that. Not using agents myself but trying to get an idea on how this stuff works, so I always wondered what an "harness" even is, since anyone seems to assume that this is common knowledge. Now it is really…
I really like the “persisting of intent” part of this approach. I don’t have any experience with coding agents, but it seems to me that this could make it much easier/quicker for others to understand an AI-written…
I agree. There are decades of work in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language, with a lot of carefully made design decisions, working closely with scientists in so many fields, trying to capture what is important for their…
From what I’ve seen so far, I would also not dismiss it as slop, even though I’m generally against vibe-coding (but more for ethical and environmental reasons, not because the code is inherently bad/slop/whatever). Many…
As a more-or-less neutral observation (I still kind-of like the project): What I find curious - perhaps a sign of these times: After just 2-3 months in development (judging from the repo commits, obviously I have no…
