It,'s always a fun and interesting read when your posts hit HN.

How much time would you estimate goes into researching? And do you have any pointers for someone which want to dip their toes into this vast sea of exploration?

> My days of ‘I have proven it correct, now I just have to type it in’ are long gone, at least for things that pay for my bread.

Kind of having the same feeling as well the more I use ChatGPT and similar systems/models.

I wonder if this will result in a general decline in code quality. Or if it's going to help people become better IT professionals overall.

I mean, in order to iterate and make things better after first try/implementation, also requires understanding what you typed and it can be improved.

Exciting times nonetheless

Oooh, I'll steal that for my own prompts. Really clever way of making it easier and faster to interact with it.

How specific must you be in order for trigger these? like adding the commands at the start of your message or does it work to place it anywhere in it?

E.g this: /b what is life?

or this: Explain what an atom is /b and continue with explaining what DNA is /d

I wonder how much scraping for various purposes, but maybe more directed towards training LLM's, has affected this change?

> ...which is why I've proposed support for AV1 and Opus for the Interop 2024 effort...

A very nice initiative!

Feels like we've been lagging behind on development in this area for some time. And with a wider support (in both hardware and software) more actors should be able to enter this field in the future.

I really hope this gets enough traction in a near future!

This looks super cool! I will for sure be testing this out and keeping an eye out for future additions.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950x: 16 cores and 32 threads

Apple A17 Pro: 6 cores (4 efficiency and 2 performance)

Couldn't agree more. So many softwares has come and went from my usual collection. But VLC still remains after so many years.

From another Obsidian junky to another. This is great! I will for certain try it out. Thank you for sharing.

Edit: Would it be feasible to have this setup as an Obsidian extension as well?

I guess this could also be a play to make Microsoft interested in buying them out when money crisis hit.

But I don't know, it could just be an ordinary bad bussiness decision

I got stuck with the new one as well last time I tried. But it seems like there is an docker option now, which seems to make things a lot easier

It could also be that ice cream is very close to glass in Swedish. Matter in fact ice cream in Swedish is actually spelled the same as glass.

So depending on how well you pronounced it, you may just have said: I can eat ice cream, it doesn't hurt

edit: added a missing word

We have something similar running today. Which acts as a bot for both Discord and an IRC channel.

Not sure tho if this code is shareable at the moment tho.

But if I'm not mistaken (can double check later on) it's based on Sopel

Ref: https://sopel.chat/

Basically you get N tokens/second (or if it was minute, can check tomorrow if you're really interested) per deployment. So if you would outgrow on deployment, just deploy another one (with the associated costs of course).

One deployment = a deployed model which you can query

On top of that, depending on the model you're using, you also see a cost increment for each 1000 request you make.

> The enthusiasm around it reminds me of Javascript wars 10 years ago... so much energy!

I kind of have the same feeling as well. With all this energy it's really hard to keep up with all new ideas, implementations, frameworks and services.

Really excited for what this will bring us the next coming years

+1 for bitwarden

It has served me and my family well for years now.

We've been using Hotchocolate for over a year now I n a project. And the experience has mostly been pretty good.

And pair this with their Blazor client called StrawberryShake. And your production levels are pretty nuts.

So to answer your question, yes people do use other alternatives

I'm not logged into Edge on any of my machines. But this is how I've done it in the past

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-learnmore-...

This looks super interesting! Any plans on expanding documentation and support for more frameworks and/or languages?

For instances were I want to have a more persisted state I would create a Sandbox file (with file extension .wsb) which just runs a setup script when the environment starts.

So basically what you would do with a provisioning script when using VM's.

You can find more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pr...

I haven't heard about CoScreen last month. But last week we had a team which needed a solution for mob programming and I couldn't find a solution which had enough functionality to meet their expectations.

And now I've seen multiple posts and recommendations in a very short time.

Haven't had the time to test it properly yet, but so far I'm kind of surprised I wasn't recommended or found CoScreen earlier.

Keep up the good work! there needs to be alternatives

In some way it's kind of poetic.

The mental overhead of producing softwares shrinks more and more. It will sure be at the cost of understanding and/or see errors as you say.

I already looking forward of being that graybeard. And show off to my neighbors or grandchildren

Pretty amazing how well the core concept of Counter-strike still holds up today. Really looking forward for the technical articles which will supersede this launch.

I feel the same way.

Mermaid removes most of personal touches and/or design choices. Which makes all diagrams a lot more uniform (which is most of the time a good thing in my book).

I like the way you flipped it around.

I'm a big believer of using all these new AI services/programs as tools to enhance my workflows, not replacing them.

I would believe so.

There is some ML functionality built into Visual Studio now a days (intellisense + some auto complete). But I don't think they market it as a separate product.

from personal experience this was a much larger problem during .net framework days. Now with EFcore, most generated queries are much more sane and performant

Oh man!

This reminds of all the shenanigans we had back in school (in the prime of Windows XP). Among the things of:

1. Doing the same thing you did with #7, as in flippin the screen. However, our computers were so slow that you could spam the rotation combination for 30sec and it would go on for at least 5minutes or even more before it was finished. It was almost faster to just do a hard reset most of the times.

2. Our network was miss-configured, which let us to connect two ethernet ports on the same switch together and take out a whole class room. Or better yet, if someone had forgot to lock the room for building switch and do the same.

3. Pupils were not allowed on school wifi back then, but somehow our IT-department wasn't up to date when those popular WEP vulnerabilities were released. Didn't take long for pupils to dual boot Backtrack and sniff out the password. School had to invest in better security until next semester.

4. MSN was blocked on school network. This later became a source of inspiration for those studying programming back then. As an example: there was a program published unto the public network share (deep down) called msn-unlocker.exe which wouldn't unlock MSN for you, but rather create directories inside directories recursively until windows registry and harddrive just gave up.

There is of course a lot more stories here, but I'll keep those for reunions and bar nights with friends :)

I've kind of switched over to a more specialized direction, but I still do include all/some the general stuff as well.

Meaning: It's imperative you explain there is a focus on what you're specialized/interested in. And if they're still interested there is a lot of extra goodies you know as well. But only as long as it's part of the assignment/position you're interviewing for.

I know this answer is a bit vague, but I hope it was still to some good use for you.
