You mean an LLM wrote an article for you. I got bored not even halfway through because it wrote a wall of text but it didn't actually say anything.

this page is about you do with the photos, not if you are allowed to take them.

what americans think happens in the EU:

how comparable are the usage limits?

when it takes 10 seconds to do anything on Jira, it's not hard to see why people want alternatives

updog? what's updog?

It certainly should have been a feature up until now. However, I think at this point anyone can clone your voice and bypass it.

But as a user I want to be able to give it permission to run selected commands even with the phone locked. Like I don't care if someone searches google for something or puts a song via spotify. If I don't hide notifications when locked, what does it matter that someone who has my phone reads them or listens to them?

Oh no, what if they put on Christmas music playlist in February? the horror!

There should exist something between "don't allow anything without unlocking phone first" and "leave the phone unlocked for anyone to access", like "allow certain voice commands to be available to anyone even with phone locked"

But you understand why if I don't care about that, I should be able to run it, right?

you should look into using subagents, which each have their own context window and don't pollute the main one

and yet, there are obviously some companies that are better than others.

It offers a GUI for easier configuration and management of models, and it allows you to store/load models as .gguf something ollama doesn't do (it stores the models across multiple files - and yes, I know you can load a .gguf in ollama but it still makes a copy in its weird format so now I need to either have a duplicate on my drive or delete my original .gguf)

like polluting every inch of the Earth with microplastics!

> We have clothes and materials like gortex now that blocks rain and snow no handmade jacket could ever hope to perform at the same level to be lightweight AND dry.

At the cost of massive environmental, animal and human health.

Sure, let's all ditch linux and macOS as well since they're not the most popular...

You wrongly assume that you are left with the SaaS product after paying for it for 2 years. For the one time payment, you will still have the software 2 years and more down the road.

"Leave the multibillion dollar company alone!"

is it really the best resource if it recommends alcohol??

Absolutely agree, but in practice this means devs are expected to sit in meetings with clients multiple times a week just to make sure everyone is on the same page. This also means that either all the devs on the team are required to be present, wasting time, OR that devs meet with stakeholders individually and knowledge ends up decentralized.

And secondly, I think that devs are expected to know WHY "all frobs are percurators" instead of just knowing that they are. Besides keeping up to date with all the tech stack, you are now expected to keep up with all the business details of your client (client which might change in a year or two).

I appreciate the reply.

> If upvoting doesn’t require justification neither should downvoting.

I disagree, since downvoting is not equal to upvoting. First off, not everyone has the ability downvote (at least on hackernews). Second, upvoting usually means you agree with something, while not agreeing should be reserved to the action of NOT upvoting. This is how most social media works. Downvoting should be reserved for something that should not belong on the thread.

Regarding the topic of the discussion, I agree that "builders" should be proactive and knowledgeable about the system that they are building, but the "chief architect"/project manager should be the intermediary between them and the clients, if for nothing other than being a single source of truth.

It's wild to me that a lot of people consider that SWE need to be knowledgeable in business requirements and interact with clients all day.

Just try to imagine construction workers doing the same thing when building a skyscraper. Instead of laying bricks, mortar and beams, now every worker loses 1-2 hours each day asking each stakeholder separately what they want, if they like how it's going so far etc. And then make changes to the layout when the clients ask! What kind of monstruous building will emerge at the end?

Edit: if you downvote, at least provide a counter argument. Or is etiquette dead?

I appreciate your reply. A lot of people just say how wonderful and revolutionary LLMs are, but when asked for more concrete stuff they give vague answers or even worse, berate you for being skeptical/accuse you of being a luddite.

Your list gives me a starting point and I'm sure it can even be expanded. I do use LLMs the way you suggested and find them pretty useful most of the time - in chat mode. However, when using them in "agent mode" I find them far less useful.

and what are those strengths, if you don't mind me asking?

Exactly! ...If the printing press spouted gibberish every 9 words.

wait till you see the bugs introduced by their AI rewrite!

What the fuck are you talking about bro?

At least get your facts straight. And by the way, last I checked the war started in 2022, that's (almost) 4 years away, not "5 and running".

Go and cope harder.

"Europeans are seething about it" lol bro cope harder. We're not the ones living under fascists or communists.

If I made an app in python and in 10 years it grows so successful that it needs a $10m vertical scale or $5m rewrite, I wouldn't even complain.

as opposed to having 28 different implementations? give me a break.
