The YouTuber discovers the deletion around 9m 20s in the video.

Also I don't think many non programmers will even know "rm -rf" command and what it does. So even if a non programmer was doing it command by command by giving permissions, he/she will have a hard time figuring out what those commands do.

May be because you are not familiar with Addy Osmani and his work. He is known for his very high quality performance optimisation work for web for almost a decade now. So anything he has read, edited and put his stamp of authority on is worth reading.

LLMs Are Not Fun 7 months ago

What is good design and code quality?

If I can keep adding new features without introducing big regressions that is good design and good code quality. (Of course there will come a time when it will not be possible and it will need a rewrite. Same like software created by top paid developers from the best universities.)

As long as we can keep new bugs to the same level as hand written code with LLM written code, I think, LLMs writing code is much superior just because of the speed with which it allows us to implement features.

We write software to solve (mostly) business efficiency problems. The businesses which will solve those problems faster than their competitors will win.

As far as I understand Claude (or any other LLM) doesn't do anything on it's own account. It has to be prompted to something and it's actions depend on the prompt. The responsibility of this is on the creators of Agent Village.

Even with LLMs delivering software that consistently works requires quite a bit of work and in most cases requires certain level of expertise. Humans also write quite a bit of garbage code.

People using LLMs to code these days is similar to how majority people stopped using assembly and moved to C and C++, then to garbage collected languages and dynamically typed languages. People were always looking for ways to make programmers more productive.

Programming is evolving. LLMs are just next generation programming tools. They make programmers more productive and in majority of the cases people and companies are going to use them more and more.

Even billion dollar software products have similar clauses, it doesn't have anything to do with vibe coding. To build and sell software no educational qualification is needed.

Quality of the software comes from testing. Humans and LLMs both make mistakes while coding.

Let's say there is an architect and he also owns a construction company. This architect, then designs a building and gets it built from of his employees and contractors.

In such cases the person says, I have built this building. People who found companies, say they have built companies. It's commonly accepted in our society.

So even if Claude built for it for GP, as long as GP designed it, paid for tools (Claude) to build it, also tested it to make sure that it works, I personally think, he has right to say he has built it.

If you don't like it, you are not required to use it.

May be because you are not OpenAI user. I am. I find it useful and I pay for it. I don't want my data to be retained beyond what's promised in the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

I don't think the Judge is equipped to handle this case if they don't understand how their order jeopardies the privacy of millions of users worldwide who don't even care about NYT's content or bypassing their paywalls.

> May I suggest that everyone just drop this whole 'develop/program it once, run it everywhere' slogan that just gets repeated endlessly when people try to promote their new platform/framework/library or whatever? I've never seen it work out that way in practice. Never.

Many apps that make hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and have millions of users are built on cross platform technologies. (IntelliJ IDEs for example, and many Mobile apps which use same code for iOS and Android, Cursor, VS Code, etc). People use these apps even though they are not platform native and some of them have die hard fans too.

Just tried Qwen 3 32B 4bit and 8bit GGUF via Ollama today on RunPod A40 GPUs. For general knowledge questions the results were very underwhelming. Here are answers to 3 questions I asked to the 8 bit GGUF model (skipping the thinking tokens to keep it short):

Q: who won the cricket worldcup 2023?

I would have expected it to get things which are such big events right at least.

I think at this moment all governments should start funding the open source foundations so that the foundations can train as well as retain good programming talent to keep the important open source software maintained. I think it will serve better in the long term to the government departments as well as the citizens.

I have wireless CarPlay in my car and I don't care about plugging it in for short rides. It's convenient that I don't have to plug it in every time I am on a 20-30 min ride just to get directions. It's a very useful feature. Not a deal breaker but a very good nice to have.

If an employee demonstrates the same level of productivity without using AI, most managers would likely be fine with that approach. However, if a manager observes that several team members are more productive with AI and are achieving business goals more quickly, they will naturally expect everyone to adopt it. Those who refuse to use AI and cannot match the efficiency of their peers may eventually be replaced. While this outcome may be emotionally challenging, economic realities primarily drive these decisions.

That’s because in this case scaling to big traffic needs more hardware which is very expensive and even if you have money the manufacturers may not have the capacity you need.

In India Flutter is quite popular. But I also doubt there will be professional 1M flutter devs our there. However if we include students and hobbyists, then definitely there could be a 1M Flutter devs out there.

A lot of people here are comparing Flutter with programming languages like Python, PHP, etc. It shows how under appreciated UI development is and the amount of complexity UI developers need to handle. Also UI framework developers are always at the mercy of someone else when it comes to their destiny, unlike programming language creators which "almost" control it fully. Apple, Google, MS all keep changing their OS and browser behaviours all the time and cross platform devs need to adapt to those things continuously.

My experience has been exactly opposite. Ability to do Vacuums is good. MySQL doesn’t free up space taken by deleted rows. The only option to free up the space is to mysqldump the db and load it again. Not practical in most of the situations.
