What does this even mean? By definition, we have been enjoying "the moment" for quite a while now. What is so special about it that we should work to prolong it, and to avoid moving forward?

Jack Ma’s situation wasn’t corruption though. He simply made the mistake of publicly criticizing the government’s economic policy. He was disappeared shortly after. Then he reappeared a few months lat…

No, it was not? For those whose native language is English, "blacklisted" implies Claude API will not allow OpenCode.

Simon, sorry to hijack the thread, but what is a good way of contacting you? I'd love to pick your brain on an AI talk I'm supposed to be giving soon.

Yeah, I recognized the PR author from Twitter (same avatar) and man he really does come across as incredibly juvenile. Shamelessly talking up OpenAI while shitting on Claude models and the motivation …

With context windows starting to get much larger (see the recent 1M context size for Claude models), I think this will be a non-issue very soon.
comment
You made the argument and provided zero supporting evidence. As it stands, it's merely an opinion, and appears to be an uninformed one until you prove otherwise. That's what people are askin…

It’s a pretty nasty form of No True Scotsman. “ I do open source. Oh, that guy? He doesn’t do real open source.”
comment
I think this is a false dichotomy because which approach is acceptable depends heavily on context, and good engineers recognize this and are capable of adapting. Sometimes you need something to be ext…

Too risky, and doesn't make sense from a cost-benefit perspective. Iran uses cheap and disposable weapons that are also effective. If you think about how much a single US ship costs, and the poli…

>> November 2024 through February 2026 Yeah, listen... I'm glad these types of studies are being conducted. I'll say this though: the difference between pre- and post-Opus 4.5 has been…

>> The number of overlapping iPad models and variants, for example, is getting kind of crazy these days. One of the first things Steve Jobs immediately did after returning to Apple in 1997 was t…

>> In due time, this one will fall out of your mental stack, too. Unless you get stack overflow first!

What is this supposed to mean? 175 kids dying as collateral damage is just clickbait to you?
comment
How is that any different than your incessant whinings drowning out real human discussion?
comment
>> This is all starting to smell like financial engineering games. "Starting to"? :)
comment
Man, the overwhelming majority of your comments over the past several months are you whining about AI or being extremely salty about anything remotely AI related. You bash AI content, people who use A…

Yeah, that was weird. The current title editorializes. @dang can you revert to actual title please?
comment
I would say this doesn't actually work well for UX, because people are more likely to know their street address and city than their zip code. Personally, every time I've moved over the years…
comment
I have no idea what I'm doing differently because I haven't experienced this since Opus 4.5. Even with Sonnet 4.5, providing explicit instructions along the lines of "reuse code where s…

>> Even speaking from a pure statistical perspective, it is quite literally impossible for "AI" that outputs world's-most-average-answer to be better than "most engineers&quo…

>> I no longer review every line, but I also have not yet gotten to the point, where I can just "trust" the LLM. Same here. This is also why I haven't been able to switch to Claud…

This is pure absurdity at this point.

Where does this stand in relation to LangChain? https://github.com/brainlid/langchain (Probably complimentary but wanted to check)…

When cleaning out my deceased father's electronics closet, I found a 1st gen iPhone. Fortunately its charging cable was nearby. I charged it and, miraculously, it turned on, and was in fact fully…

This is only for container ships.
