transdev12··on SvelteKit 3
I can’t really speak directly to your question because I don’t have LLMs write react, but I get great results from svelte.

At this point I don’t think it’s about training examples, once there is sufficient training data it becomes a problem of verifiability, ie how easily can the model check its work for success.

Because they’ve essentially exhausted pre training scaling and are looking to post training to expand capabilities, which is really just optimization via reinforcement learning against specific tasks aka bench maxing.
transdev12··on Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI
I generally use sonnet 5 for most coding tasks, a lot of coding is really pretty straightforward.

> the cost to build a modern agentic model is in the 10 figure range and growing

Source? The proliferation of labs building competent models would seem to suggest the opposite.

transdev12··on Fine, I'll build my own text editor
Strongly disagree with your premise.

Programming languages are what you build creative and interesting things from, building in safety into your tools is a good thing.

I wouldn’t want a nail gun that shoots in the wrong direction when you apply the incorrect amount of pressure. Software engineering over indexes on an obsession with the tools themselves over the things you make with them.

transdev12··on Quick impressions: A week of using Codex more than Claude
I’m trying to pitch my boss on something like bedrock/foundry/vertex where we can just swap the model and still have it serverless over an api.

Digital ocean particularly looks promising as well.

transdev12··on A week of using Codex more than Claude
Claude comments look like this

//add returns the sum of x and y

//per section 2.1 of addition-implementation-plan.md sum is designed as the seam for user addition interfaces.

//previously sum added numbers, now it adds numbers

def add(x, y):

    return x + y
transdev12··on Claudette: Make Claude stop talking like a BuzzFeed article
The corollary here is to have Claude write tests to enforce this. The only thing it is consistently responsive to is test failures.
transdev12··on Fairphone is now officially available in the United States
You can stick to your morals without blowing things out of proportion.

“We are the only acceptable way to do things and no tradeoffs are acceptable” is fairly petty.

“We have a difference of opinion” isn’t.

transdev12··on What's the best programming language for coding agents?
I’ve been landing on go for a similar reason, which was the realization that LLMs are in many ways just massive cargo culting machines. People will call it “quality training data”, but really LLMs will just reflect the norms and behaviors of whatever ecosystem they’re using.

I like to think go’s lack of magic and standard library will lead to lower maintenance burden over time, but that’s mostly just vibes so far.

transdev12··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
OpenAI really doesn’t have infinite money. They have a lot of money, sure, but it is being burned like crazy, we know this. It is widely known that they are deeply unprofitable.

Compare that with Apple, a company that throws off billions of cash every quarter. This isn’t a legit comparison.

transdev12··on Grok 4.5
I’ve been coming to hacker news for years (10+) and there has always been political commentary.
transdev12··on Canada in Technical Recession
Real GDP is adjusted for inflation, nominal GDP is not.

Being in recession is typically defined as negative gdp growth.

So to answer your question, being in recession does account for inflation.
