I like to follow them and look for benchmark for each LLM release.

From my perspective, HTTP requests have been mastered for years (decades?). What's the point of switching libraries? What's so extraordinary about the new HTTP library that makes requests look crap?

I understand that new protocols appear from time to time (like HTTP/2), but that's very rare. And if there are performance differences between two libraries, are they really that huge? Even if they are, 99% of people don't need that boost. What prevents someone from just improving the existing library's performance?

I don't understand how people can be so out of touch.

The compiler is incredibly helpful because it catches errors and gives clear explanations and the LLM can iterate over it. I’ve also added the elm-review package with the default configuration, which is fantastic for ensuring code quality.

I think they stay for a few months. Maybe they just don't tell their company and the company still think they are working in the same place.

What's the point of a crazy cheap model if it's shit ?

I code most of the time with haiku 4.5 because it's so good. It's cheaper for me than buying a 23€ subscription from Anthropic.

The frontier models have become so good that it's getting almost impossible to notice meaningful differences between them.

Meanwhile, when a smaller / less powerful model releases a new version, the jump in quality is often massive, to the point where we can now use them 100% of the time in many cases.

And since they're also getting dramatically cheaper, it's becoming increasingly compelling to actually run these models in real-life applications.

Haiku 4.5 is already so good it's ok for 80% (95%?) of dev tasks.

It seems so fake to me and so far from the experience I have here in France.

If you build a product for marketers, you should hang out with them and ask them for advices, not indie hackers who know nothing about marketing.

If you build a product for bakers, you should hang out with them to understand what they need, not with indie hackers who have never baked anything in their lives.

That sounds logical, but for certain types of products, it is not.

There is no point in talking with indie hackers. It's only useful if you need knowledge about coding skills, which is rarely the case (especially now with AI).

Let say I have a project in `/home/boumtac/dev/myproject` with the venv inside.

If I run `uv python find --script /home/boumtac/dev/myproject/my_task.py`, will it find the venv ?

To me, it feels like it is the same purpose as the EM dashes.

And I discovered the EM with ChatGPT, I've never seen it before.

So I think we're good with performance.

Why since a few month are they a lot of problem with them ? Why did these problems not appear before ?

Because I have the plus membership which is expensive (25$/month).

But if the limit is high enough (or my usage low enough), there is no point for paying that much money for me.

- There's a noticeable trend where the general population is increasingly favoring smartphones over traditional computers for their digital needs. This shift has predominantly affected Windows users, as they represent a significant portion of the casual computing market. As a result, the proportion of dedicated Linux users has become more pronounced

It is error prone. You're simply refusing to see an aberration.

That's how the language works, but it doesn't mean it's intuitive and easy to understand especially for a language known for being easy to use and understand.

Don't you think it should not be possible to have such a thing ? To me it's so prone to error and there is absolutely too much gain to fix this.

> "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." (zen of python)

Look at all the other possibilities to do `f"hello {name}`. That are more than one obvious way to do it.

Something even crazier would be to have an equivalent of `console.log` in python. It would be an amazing feature but I think I'm the only one wanting it. I know I can use `print` or different logger. But it's a lot more complicated to use and the output is a lot less navigable than in javascript. PHP also has `var_dump`. But we don't have any equivalent in python.

Here in France, if I ask for something during the interview process with the recruiter, I will get a response like this: "Sorry we don't do that in our process, so goodbye" and they move to the next candidate while I'm out for this job.
