At this point it might be easier to point out articles not written by LLM. Most of them are, I just can't bring myself to read them anymore, it feels like a waste of time. I want to read original thoughts and it's almost impossible to know if this kind of content contains any. I'm tired.

Does this apply only to new messages or also to history?

We do this because we need redundancy. Are there non kubernetes alternatives for HA/redundancy that are worth it?

What do you mean, companies are already paying for almost good. Coding is indeed serious work and not even Fable is good enough for serious work.

Also there's a brain, the GPU

That's a good question... => I didn't think about this, I don't know the answer yet.

That's a great question! => I can tell you understood what I explained and used that understanding to reach the next step of reasoning just like I did.

I agree, just like some people decide that they're OK with eating junk food every day, knowing the long term risk. They are free to take it.

If I do ask an LLM another question about something small it will offer solutions but doesn’t offer the solution I think makes sense in the architectures I’ve written.

This is my experience as well, and I've been using Claude Code a lot.

Extremely impressive tools, but they're like fast food. They will solve your immediate problems quickly and cheaply, but you're going to have issues on the long term if that's all you use.

I use AI a lot for development, but I am not sure why students should "embrace" the new technology made to take the job they are studying for.

It's true for all automation we do get more comfort. We build systems so that we humans have as little struggle as possible, not realising that struggle is the only reason for existence. By eliminating it, we are erasing ourselves from this world.

You're wasting a ton of tokens doing that though. Right now you don't realize it because they're being heavily subsidized, but you will understand the point of have good orchestration and memory files when you will have to pay the real cost of your use.

OP doesn't seem to be on Mac

I think their current goal is to capture as much market as they can while they still have the best models, their only moat. Look at Anthropic, they are clearly trying to lock their users in their ecosystem by refusing to follow conventions (AGENT.md etc) and restricting their tools exclusively to their own services.

Less RAM usage doesn't equal better performances or faster software. It actually might mean the opposite, if you're not caching things in RAM.

While some of the ideas in this do resonate with me (or at least they're entertaining), it's unfortunate that's it's so obviously LLM generated. And some parts of it, like the INTJ exceptionalism, reek of LLM sycophancy, which then turned into to some kind of god complex...

Yes they are, but it's still messing up nature. Was just to give some pushback to the venomous parent comment.

That's really bad... I don't care if people (probably LLM here) do these kind of mistakes in their own personal tooling. But when you're going to distribute it as some sort of library, it becomes unacceptable.

Write public libraries for solving issues of domains you are an expert in. If your library is LLM generated, it is most likely useless and full of errors that will waste other people's time and resources.

In a lot of places, most of your electricity is generated by burning coal and gas.

I think curing GAD will mean changing your personality. There's always going to be a before/after you, that's the whole point. The important part is being able to reliably know what the "after you" will be so you can be sure that you want that change to happen.

It also needs to work at least 99% of the time if not more. Not easy to do this with indeterministic models.

Corruption

I keep reading this online but never encounter it in real life. People I work with and for like simple solutions that don't add complexity. It saves them time and money. I really wonder how is it that some people seem to encounter this toxic mentality so much that they assume it is universal. Is it a FAANG/US culture thing where everyone acts based on corrupted incentives?

Me too, everyone around me is into board games, video games, nerdy movies etc and they always assume I'm into them too. It always sucks when I reveal I don't like these things and you see the enthusiasm going off their faces :/

If you're paid by the hour, then does it really matter if you have to refactor stuff? If it takes a long time to do then it'll be more expensive for your employer.

Does the project manager get paid more by the hour to refactor a house than to build one?

I've always had a passion for carnivorous plants and it was inevitable that I would end up doing tissue culture by keeping on digging deeper in the obsession.

The biggest ROI is fulfilling my childhood dream of having a ton of my favourites rare plants. Then I sell my extra ones on my webshop, but it doesn't make that much money as I am not focusing on expensive varieties, just the ones I like.

You can check out plants in jars on YouTube, or use a LLM to get into it. Some LLMs might not want to answer you because they think you're trying to do something dangerous... Claude has been flagging a lot of my questions.

I love it. I do plant tissue culture as hobby and really see plants as the living systems that they are.

Exactly my experience too, to the point that I kinda ended up only using DDG for its bang features and never really do real searches with it... It's especially bad if I want local results for my country in my language.

I feel like the only reason I use Obsidian is because of the "real time" markdown editor. If I could have this in Zed (not split view between source and render) I would probably not used Obsidian anymore.

I've been using obsidian for about 3 years now and the only thing I've used are daily notes. I'm unsure where I should go from that.

Definitely this, my hobby is already filled with a ton of sloppy vibe coded apps that all do the same thing very badly with awful UI/UX. They all ask for a monthly subscription and, surprise, nobody uses them.

Meanwhile the hand crafted app that does the same thing gets put in the same bucket as the AI slop ones and is ignored.
