FYI android 17 fixes the bugs in the Bluetooth stack that previously required root to fix. But, this app still charges $5 for using features your air pods have. I'll be spending my afternoon forking and enabling them.

The coin flip game does not work. I tossed 2 coins and it broke after that. You cannot progress forward.

Not a great start for "a generational leap in model effectiveness"

great post,

Before you’ve noticed important details they are, of course, basically invisible. It’s hard to put your attention on them because you don’t even know what you’re looking for. But after you see them they quickly become so integrated into your intuitive models of the world that they become essentially transparent.

That quote really stuck out to me. Personally I help myself with this frequently by attempting to write down steps to recreate guides or other basic material - rubber ducking to a beginner essentially.

Why I love NixOS 4 months ago

Flakes are the defacto standard and you're leaving one huge point out. Flake files come with flake lock files. You cannot get lockfiles without using flakes.

I just asked gemini 3 5 times: `what temperature I should take a waterfowl out of the oven`

and received generic advice every single time it gave nearly identical charts. 165F was in every response. LLMs are unpredictable yes. But I am more skeptical it would give incorrect answers (raw goose) rather than your mother preparing the fowl wrong.

Cooking correctly is a skill, just as prompting is. Ask 10 people how to cook fowl and their answers will mimic the LLM.

Yes these are found in a few places in Egypt and notably some are dug vertically [0]. Along with these "scoop" marks there are a few tombs "boxes at serapeum" that have nearly perfectly squared off cuts and perfectly smooth surfaces. [1] These are the main points of contention

We are leaning into conspiracy theories / not accepted history but making these marks with the currently thought tools seems quite insensible, and are related to the article. Folks seem to think we have not found the real tools that created these structures. The vertical inward scoop marks are especially suspect.

Yes, there is no source code in here. This is their scripts / tooling / prompts repo. The actual code that powers their CC terminal CLI does not exist anywhere on their public GitHub

Is this a post I'm too European to understand?

Are you in a top tier city? Very very few cafes are open late (later than 8pm) in cities and if youre not in a big city, Chicago, NYC, Seattle etc etc you will likely have none open that late. It's definitely a culture thing. Not many folks are drinking coffee / hanging out that late in cafes. Enough do, but nowhere near as much as Europeans do

LLMs cannot generate coherent sentences

LLMs writing prose is too robotic

LLMs output is too dependent on prompts to be interesting

LLMs take too much RAM to run effectively

LLMs take too much electricity to run locally

LLMs work locally but are a bit too slow for my taste

LLMs output mostly correct code but it isn't applicable to my codebase

LLMs make tool calls to pull in additional context

LLMs outputted code works for most developers but not my codebase <---- you are currently here

These articles are the equivalent of your coworker sending you an AI generated pull request without himself reviewing it first.

Did the author of this article review it? Is their entire position that to differentiate yourself you have to do lessor work because AI is perfect? Are they suggesting that AI / LLMs are better than humans?

That is the use case for NixOS yes, can you clarify how it is no longer deterministic? I have been using it for a few months and was not aware of this change
