two weeks ago I started heavily using Codex (I have 20y+ dev xp).

At first I was very enthusiastic and thought Codex is helping me multiplex myself. But you actually spend so much time trying to explain Codex the most obvious things and it gets them wrong all the time in some kind of nuanced way that in the end you spend more time doing things via Codex than by hand.

So I also dialed back Codex usage and got back to doing many more things by hand again because its just so much faster and much more predictable time-wise.

Assistants API use in prod used to suck because it would send full convo on each message. But last month they added an option to send truncted history so its no longer 2$ a pop thankfully. Also Grok, Haiku and Mistral is cheap

Hi HN! Started working with more text models in PyTorch, experimented with LSTMs and found most of the tutorials terribly outdated. So figured out whats the most modern best practices there (until next version of torchtext comes) and wanted to share. Do anybody use LSTMs at work or are most of the people on BERTs?

Thank you! I was trying to work those out for you. The problem is that we are use Typeform and they are kind of semi-ready for mobiles.

Got any ideas on how to improve it?

Thanks for asking, James.

Many Rails apps get/create/update database data on the Javascript side. Sometimes it is done using some kind of framework (Ember, Angular).

This is for the times you don't use a full fledged framework - think React or something similar.

Its benefit is that you don't have to set up routes, parsing/encoding for the data you send.

It lets you securely choose which parts of the model you want the Javascript to edit (permitted_columns).

It also works with Active Model Serializers (f.e. UserSerializer) - it lets you specify which attributes to send to the client.

It is as secure as you would do it yourself.

If possible, please hack the databound.me website and help me fix the holes if there are any.

Thanks!

This tool saves developers from doing monkey jobs. It tries to write a passing RSpec spec off the bat. It does fancy analysis to predict the values it could feed to the API of a class.

It all started with a belief that writing unit tests is a much more deterministic process than writing app code. And it still holds true.

Running it would LOCK the class API in tests as it is. So all we would have to do is writing code, locking it, writing more code, locking it too and so on.

I am very thankful that it got featured in the Ruby Weekly today and would bake a cake for the anyone who made it happen. Thanks

Do you think its possible to build writer in such a way so we don't have to write tests anymore?
