Before, I resold the output of engineers.

Now, I resell the output of AI supervised by engineers.

We can tell when it makes mistakes. It used to make a ton. Now, with the right context, it really makes very few mistakes (which it can find itself and fix itself)

I had it One-shot the full architecture for a fairly advanced distributed system for a client. It then one shot the actual code design (following absolutely all our our internal requirements on auth, stack to use, security, code styling, documentation, etc). It then one shot (and we code reviewed everything thoroughly) each of the 5 micro services needed.

It one shot the infrastructure to use and created the terraform file to put it up anywhere. It deployed it.

It caught some of the errors it had made by itself after load-testing, and corrected them. It created the load test itself (following patterns from previews projects we had).

It did all of this in a week. With human supervision on each step, but in a fucking week. We gave it all the context it needed and one-shotted everything.

It is more than god-level. If you are not getting these increases in productivity, you are using it wrong.

Which was for the most part true.

Man, 99% of non-bug-fix commits don't have a why other than "advance the current task".

Almost all commits live in tandem with some large feature or change being made. The reason for absolutely all of them is the same - build the thing .

You have got to have some extremely large files or something. Even with only Opus, running into the limits with the Max subscription is almost impossible unless you really try.

You don't want automatic browsing of tedious tasks? I really do.

The story of literally all blockchain-based solutions.

Fuck that shit.

Hard disagree. LLMs are now incredibly good for any coding task (with popular languages).

We, too, are just auto-complete, next-token machines.

Here in Colombia it's almost a staple to find perpetually-empty restaurants that never go broke. We call them "lavaderos" - kinda like "laundering-stations".

Only in theory. Most times none of those stakeholders get anything but wages and recognition.

Building a particular type of company - a tech startup.

I'd argue that we need to apply this to companies too. Stop building startups (which start losing money and may never ever make a profit in the process of scaling) and start creating companies (which make a profit ASAP and may never scale).

Why would you put someone with clear talent at building stuff in charge of running a startup? He'll get bogged down in lawyers, day to day operations and growth strategies.

Hire him and put him in R&D in some robotics company.

Rappi is missing. It's huge in all of Latin America.

Read and read are the same exact fucking letters and are pronounced differently. You really don't need to go very far to find many examples.

English is fucked up. The only way to learn how to speak it properly is by memorization.

Other languages like Spanish or Korean keep a near-perfect one to one correspondence between written form and expected pronunciation.

I'm working on a system to help people write their Family History.

You upload interviews with family members (text, audio or video all work) and the system automatically transcribes the text, finds key people or events, and puts it together with other information you may have gathered about those events or people before. Like building a genealogical tree but with the actual details about people's lives.

In the works to also attach pictures of said people and events to give it some life.

Then you had some very shitty jobs. Good teams put time and effort in architecture before development.

LLMs will produce code with good structure, as long as you provide that architecture before hand.

They change their passwords...

Which is completely fine. Not every company should look for VC investment or to become publicly traded.

You don't get citizenship. Just jail time.

It is. It exists. Many brands are discussed in the thread.

Yeah... Not happening when you have scores of clients running down your database.

The reason message queue systems exist is scale. Good luck sending a notification at 9am to your 3 million users and keeping your database alive in the sudden influx of activity. You need to queue that load.

It doesn't keep facial details in the generation. The generated person resembles you but is definitely not you.

Then you need to spend 2-3 hours per candidate... And the candidate with you. Do the same for 1 hour.

You think that it's cheaper for some reason to get it from the "complex", while it is very obviously not so.

The logistics between growers to distributors to store and customers add a ton of cost to your food. In the order of 200%.

The reliance on external food sources for many ingredients exacerbates this even more.

Many business models in other countries are based on lowering logistics, doing basically grower-to-customer directly and evading all the middlemen. No refrigeration, better quality, cheaper food.

Disagree on the animations. They are both beautiful and detailed, clearly illustrating the point.

Your other criticism I agree with.

The generation that survived the great depression, caused the great depression. If they were strong as you imply how could they cause bad times?

Dumb phrase.

Can it? What "bad times" were created by weak men? To me it seems most if not all bad times are just "strong men" taking advantage of that strength to take from others in one way or another and hence causing conflict or economic woes.

They buy a company, not a repo.

They buy the team, the know-how, the customers, the brand. The repo is open source up until now, but they can create a paid offering with premium features over the open source code. They can also offer specialized hosting for that solution (which is a very clear advantage of joining with cloud flare)
