Well because your provider assumes you are not using all your bandwidth constantly. Cloud bandwidth is only billed for you actually use

This I don't understand. I'm faster at moving the method then at prompting the LLM to do so

Exactly. I don't understand how so many developers seem to have a long tail of well written task specifications ready to submit to the LLM. Who produces them?

I keep seeing this but I'm not sure it is effective in the long run *if unsupervised*.

"Review quality and fix" doesn't mean a lot without context.

Does it mean to remove unused features and simplify the underlaying code? Does it mean changing the data structures to better support future development? Does it mean improving performance because of bottlenecks?

You are supposed to tell an LLM what your codebase needs, but if you just vibe code without knowing the code, "review quality and fix" will have unexpected results

Deals right now are intended to increase the trades between Canada and reducing those with the US, in little improvement steps.

If in 10 years the ratio moves from 70/6 to 50/26, the situation will be vastly different.

The options are not black and white

I think in many cases the authors value functionality much more then esthetics.

Which is a bummer because it is a complete different point of view from the more typical user experience

Because we are not there yet and you can't oversee something you don't know

I think it is perfectly understood. But we don't feel we are the ones that deteriorated the relationship, we are just reacting to it

It doesn't happen overnight, but the adversarial behaviour of the current administration and the tariffs really changed the perspective about America on many Europeans.

The discussion about building European alternatives had never been so mainstream. If and once they emerge, I think the shift will happen. But let's see

I started to consider it a show show way earlier than 18 months ago. Jira is so terrible to use that it is hard to phantom how they are able to be paid for their product

The point is that there aren't many complex tasks were fable delivers a significant value increase over cheaper models.

Single prompting a very complex tasks is rare even on frontier models, because it can be done successfully only for specific situations (e.g. you have a very strong verification step the model can iterate on).

Most of my everyday usage is for smaller takes, were you don't really get the benefit of the most expensive models, and my guess is that is the case for the most users

> do we think we're discovering that Chrome had more big holes than we thought or are we raising the security bar by fixing smaller holes?

To me the most probable explanation is that they automated a way to find (and fix) existing vulnerabilities in a way that was not possible before.

Some holes were probably very small, some were probably almost impossible to actually exploit, I don't doubt it. But still, I find it very hard to not consider this a strong security improvement overall (unless they made those numbers up)

Of course it is just tokens, but the result is the same.

If, in the amount of data they ingested, there was a clear pattern of responding in an hasty and carefree way to frenetic questions, LLMs will try more hasty and carefree solutions to a frenetic prompt.

You can decide whether you can say that they "feel" the urgency or not, but the outcome is very much the same

> That's not an advantage for the user at all, is it

Of course it is an advantage. I tend to access most of my apps and services from both the PC and the smartphone, having data shared across the two is a deal breaker for the very vast majority of them.

Meta has the option if I'm not mistaken, but my guess is that it is very, very rarely used.

An approach that works really well for me in opencode is to use DeepSeek flash for the code exploration sub agent, and a smarter model for the overall task.

Code exploration tends to burn a ton of tokens and do not require frontier knowledge. It then returns a compact overview of the findings to the better model, that can therefore perform its task with less tokens.

Anyone else has a similar approach?

It depends whether your goal is to hire for specific knowledge (hence specific questions) or for overall mindset and abilities (hence broader questions where you are able to extract the way a person thinks)

How much was valuable the output you got during the day?

Is it at least comparable to the $10k of cost?

You need agents.md and similar for indications about stuff that is not in the code itself. There are plenty of use cases for that, the alternative is have the LLM guess the most probable solution, which may be correct but may also be wrong.

Am I the only one not seeing a point in asking an LLM philosophical questions, especially about themselves?

Didn't Deepseek also publish a lot of research material on how they trained their model?

That aspect is probably more important for an open model then the source materials

> But why call them overpriced? Compared to what?

Compared to some available Chinese model I guess. For most common tasks the additional intelligence is marginal and the cost is around an order of magnitude higher.

And that is malicious, it is not supposed to happen

But excel cells are not simply text: it is a different format, I don't have specific existing behavior for that.

It is very different with plaintext

Exactly.

You also open the gates to many edge cases where I don't know what it is supposed to happen.

What if I never paste the cut text? Does it stay faded?

What if I copy some other text, maybe on another app, before pasting? Do I paste the faded text or the new copied one?

Also, as you mention, I hate that you can't paste on a different program given the fact that the clipboard is untouched when you press ctrl-x

The gain is so minimal for a lot of headaches if you don't follow the happy path

They ingest so much data that a couple of reddit threads do not move the needle.

It is the reinforcement learning that produces more tangible results with less data, but it is something that the AI labs specifically selects and it is not picked up unknowingly

Yeah, very comfortable to use in a conversation.

> Yeah if I'm not mistaken the ticketing service is deployed on t56kl-293d1-5gqp7, do you think we should move it to iwi49-oaqq0-492fa?

Did you already know kubernetes, or did you have to learn it for this setup?

I believe this is the key difference, because it doesn't make sense to learn such a complicated tool for a simple use case.

If you already know it sure, it may make sense. But you are removing a huge initial effort required otherwise.

I wanted to ask the same thing.

There are two clearly demarcations both north and south

> Otherwise when you use git blame to get the context of why a line of code was changed, all you see is a useless "fixup" message

Isn't this solved if you squash the commits when merging the PR? I personally don't care that much about the commits inside a PR, the are just temporary because when a PR is merged they are squashed and you only get one commit for the whole feature on the main branches
