Now that's a tremendous pointer, I'm going to have to try that.

Do you full on let GLM5 get stuff done on its own or is it more like a guided workflow? The former's what the point releases doubled down on and is also something that uses a lot of juice.

Yeah isn't that thinking weird?

Now I see the issue clearly! But wait... now I have the full picture! But wait... Found it!

I gave up a few times because of it at first until I realized I just had to let GLM get on with it and what came out was great!

But once it was outright endearing- challenging bug, it said: I have been very thorough. Then it escalated where to look and aced it. Built in confucian values

3code, the economical coding agent

A command-line program for AI-assisted programming to get results as cheaply and reliably as possible. Especially interesting to use z.ai models, which will likely still work if US AI company prices rise too much.

It's also a pleasure to work with. Still needs polish and bugfixes, late alpha.

Definitely.

Interesting twist- notice dark shapes in your color spectrum for a while, then switch to light. Trippy.

I was thinking- why on earth raise 17M for that, it sounds like something you make in a basement with a few friends, if that.

But then it's the github cofounder- well, github did add a lot of stuff onto git I didn't know I needed, so I'm curious.

That's a fascinating way to look at it.

I've always found my self at the clean code end of the spectrum (which also means simple and flexible to me) because it makes it easier to be flexible for customer needs. So I like good code but it's a means to an end.

Hahaha yes- reddit relationship advice is always like "You need to leave them immediately, what are you thinking, have some self respect you need to end it" when the other person forgot the redditor's favorite brand of corn flakes or something.

Fascinating- I've always loved the big picture, architecture, and I've also loved stable software but have one hell of a time fixing bugs. AI helped me a ton with that.

Well if you're ever in need for a complementary mind in side projects- huh, how does one connect over HackerNews?

my best ideas often happen when knee deep in some codebase

I notice that I get into this automatically during AI-assisted coding sessions if I don't lower my standards for the code. Eventually, I need to interact very closely with both the AI and the code, which feels similar to what you describe when coding manually.

I also notice I'm fresher because I'm not using many brainscycles to do legwork- so maybe I'm actually getting into more situations where I'm getting good ideas because I'm tackling hard problems.

So maybe the key to using AI and staying sharp is to refuse to sacrifice your good taste.

Effortless superfast caching with Nim! Network calls like you need for redis really add up.

Instead of using something like redis with its network round trips, you can write to a memory mapped file. You can do that safely and easily with LimDB in Nim.

LimDB is a hashtable-like interface to LMDB, a mature fast thread-safe ACID3 memory-mapped-file database for the Nim programming language.

It's just like using a hash table (the Nim equivalent to Python's dictionary or PHP's associative array) but the data stays put between restarts.

They would probably be willing to parade Steve Balmer through downtown Redmond and yell "shame" at him every few steps. I think I could totally start overlooking IE6 if they did that.
