It's just a lot faster at hammering it out than me pound for pound, and I can quickly rattle off via voice-to-text exactly what I want much faster than I can type all of the code (especially when across a few different files), in a huge majority of tasks I perform. It's also especially good at debugging by brute force quickly and at scale meaning e.g. it can start desperately bisecting diffs to find the source of a bug 10000% faster than I can.

Disagree with so many assertions put forth here. You don't _have_ to turn you brain off when coding with an LLM. It's not some intelligence dementor. If your brain turned off while you were vibe coding thats honestly just a you problem and I wish everyone would stop boogeymanning an obvious improvement in the ability to better yourself just because a lot of people don't choose the betterment route.

I've never been more informed or understood more about my code, pipelines, and stack than now- and its 100% due to AI reasoning about my projects, and me making an effort to learn.

I agree- I'm currently trying to learn how I can embed a fine tuned tiny model into my c++ game so it can provide a narrative in prose of certain game-event logs. It needs to be as tiny as possible so it doesn't take resources away from the running game.

Sounds similar to buying a 3D printer hehe

Chess on M series Macs has the same issue. Even level 1 is easily 2000+ Elo because of the same thing.

GN is a well established, popular and independent consumer hardware reviewer that has only a few peers on par with them in the space. Hardly some "random tech influencer".

There is mention of desktop applications in their getting-started docs; it seems well within the intention of the maintainers to me.

> Yeah, why in the world would I use a web API to develop a desktop application?

> Glad you asked, the short answer is:

    Reasonable level of abstraction

    Good performance

    Cross-platform

    Standard enough

    Future-proof

You can be your own AI provider.

I just spent a lot of yesterday tweaking a docker image with xfce and vs code so I can just let codex go full access mode without too much worry in a throwaway sandbox. The agent runs similarly-namespace-constrained and without sudo. I think it's a relatively safe middleground- do you really think container escape is still a big deal here?

Finally getting this setup also allowed me to very quickly troubleshoot what was breaking my build in the codex cloud hosted container which obviously has even less risk attached.

Now I'm juggling and strategizing branches like coding is an RTS game... and it feels like a super power. It's almost like unlocking an undiscovered tech tree.

I think that completely discounting the potential of new emergent capabilities at scale undermines this thesis significantly. We don't know until someone tries, and there is compelling evidence that there's still plenty of juice to squeeze out of both scale and engineering.

What is preventing any of those mentioned card vendors from integrating with FedNow either directly or via some abstractive layer through another entity? I don't understand why the answer would be 'no for these reasons'.

If that's the case perhaps you could, I don't know, state that up front and save everyone some time...

Cool link, reply more if you find them!

Hey I just wanna say that I'm really glad that you personally haven't had to go through the hell of cardiovascular/heart damage from this, but you also shouldn't use your anecdote to undermine others' extreme sickness. You are ignorant to experiences not your own.

You get down voted because there are thousands of people suffering from real physical symptoms of this - like clots and tachycardia - and you are waving away the symptoms as a mental illness.

What a joke; I hope no one ever does that to you.

This sentiment (which is unfortunately rampant) is incredibly ignorant of the actual disease and infantilizes it's victims. I'd LOVE to see people who espouse this idea- go and do some more research about the disease they clearly don't have, and have not experienced first-hand.

(ha!)

It's actually more like choosing a reliable brand that's been around for years vs. buying a Tesla.

I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to answer that for you in a binding way.

I don't think I said that. You seem to be setting up a(nother) false dichotomy here as if there can only be one end of the spectrum or the other, with no grey area or nuance in-between.

In a rational world I would absolutely expect the authorities that bind me to answer basic questions about following the rules.

I'm really, really glad I've never spent hours of my time standing up a website dedicated to meticulously and condescendingly criticizing the ideas of others. What a waste of energy.

If they really didn't test anything bigger than 13b, as their abstract states, then this doesn't even seem worth reading through.

Modern appliances are designed with parts that fail easily and are just slightly too difficult, or dangerous, enough to repair on your own. Usually it's a plastic connector of some sort that will have an easily calculable time-to-disintegration measured in years.

For instance, I just fixed a 2c plastic clip that pretty much made my microwave unusable by virtue of the door being un-openable. In order to do so, I had to have my fingers about 3 inches away from a bare wire transformer which near totally obstructs what should be a very simple fix.

Plenty scary and dangerous enough for me to have to call the manufacturer and find a certified local repairer...

Not quite the same, but available on nuget- 'fluentAssertions' gives you something akin to this. I've had decent success with having our juniors use it vs less verbose assertion libraries. I don't know about evaluating individual expressions in a line separately, but it does give you clean syntax and similar error messages that are very readable-

"GetProductPage().GetProductPrice().Should().Be().LessThan(...)"

Probably 'Rainmeter' if on Windows desktop

> Yes, and tracing counts as art fraud.

I just spit out my coffee, turns out I'm not a bad artist, I'm actually a fraudster!

Yup exactly, and the ability to basically be fluent in any language.

You're welcome? Are you always immediately hostile towards people who disagree with you on niche website preferences?

Frankly, who gives a shit about someone's opinion who can't even handle a comment like 'I disagree with you' without hurling personal insults.

You'd think people reading HACKER news would be less pro-establishment in their arguments.
