You can keep burning tokens until it complies. Thats what I do and I get good results. I do often have to spend a day just thinking through the prompt, but then again coding rarely was the bottleneck. But AI is very good at doing a refactor as well, tedious stuff like constructor juggling. Thing is code is to be written for humans first, no matter if the author is human or AI.

As do we all. If you browse through deep learning code a large majority is tensor juggling.

Contention overhead likely. Performance is more than just the langauge.

I mean this is only meant to be an iteration if I understand correctly. Its not like someone is going around citing this benchmark yelling rewrite everything in Julia / D. Imo this is a good starting point if you are doubtful or fall into the trap of Java is not fast. For most workloads we can clearly see, Java trades off the control of C++ for "about the same speed" and much much larger and well managed ecosystem. (Except for the other day, when someones OpenJDK PR was left hanging for a month which I am not sure why).

Never has a factual answer been so dark. I didnt look at the question from the lens of corruption and abuse of power. I seriously hope nobody voted hoping for this outcome.

I think its because we dont have too many established paradigms for functional programming. Having said that I think Scala is just marvellous. I had to work with a Scala codebase written by a set of very mature devs and it was an absolute joy. It influenced how I write Java.

Brilliant. Some of the animations that are put as showcases on the Blender site are absolutely phenomenal. This one https://studio.blender.org/projects/spring/

particularly is my all time favorite.

I have stopped using ChatGPT in favor of Gemini. Mostly you need LLMs for factual stuff and sometimes to draft bits of code here and there. I use Google with Gemini for the first part and I am a huge fan of codex for the second part.

What are this administration's achievements in the first 100 days if any ? So far they have shot US citizens in the name of immigration enforcement, damaged US-Canada relationship permanently, lost every trade negotiation on the table, failed to stop any war while claiming to stop tens, violated a country's sovereignty but didnt even get oil deals, have done nothing to stop fentanyl abuse as most fentanyl is smuggled in the US bu US citizens whose vehicles are not checked at the border, defied court orders, damaged the dollars buying power and have taco-ed out of every major negotiation and just this morning sued the IRS (which is funded by US tax payers) for $10B. I mean Joe Biden dropped put because of one bad debate, honestly even Biden in that state would make for a better president.

Oh come on. You get the BBC for that money. I gladly pay it byt then I work in tech.

Russia never had a functional democracy. The US has had one since 200+ years. It has had its problems no doubt, but democracy has flourished in the US and so has the rule of law. Honestly to an outsider that is US's real super power. Lets not forget that this is the country that collected a large corpus of income tax data upon which several economic theories (particularly Kuznets) were based on. Point is US invests in enforcing its laws. Something that's missing from Russia and also the former Soviet Union.

So I am hopeful that this stupidity will be solved as well.

Not sure if douyin is available in the states.

Of course. If we allow AI to be open and accessible then generic humanity extinction event will happen. Which is why we need regulation in favor of one or two companies so that generic bad stuff doesnt transpire.

Hey, we need protecting from AI, only one company can get this right.

I have never been to an Amazon Fresh store. But I do remember that French chain that trolled Amazon with their humans first approach.

You dont get 7% of a company, you get 7% of outstanding sharez. So its shares held * stock price. Usually there are less stocks issued at the initial stages with more coming in later as more investors are added. I dont think YC maintains 7% across all their investments.

the Ruby on Rails of Erlang, I guess. Maybe we just generalize the thesis to - the stack must be the ruby on rails of X language.

Use caps. DO NOT DO X. works like a charm on codex.

Why would this org be banned for shuffling Claude.md files ? I don't understand the harm here.

Stock up 15% up YoY. That company isnt dying by any measure. They just acquired a business banking company on the cheap.

Distribution is king. Kudos to Ramp for that. My weird thesis is that for whatever reason Ruby on Rails shops just seem to survive more. I wonder if someone did a stack specific survival rate analysis.

The extra 490 saved isnt worth the optimization. headache

Thats because getting promoted requires thought leadership and fulfilling AI mandates. Hence the tweet from this PE at Google, another from one at Microsoft wanting to rewrite the entire c++ base to Rust, few other projects also from MS all about getting the right Markdown files etc etc

It works for me but I do it incrementally. I use codex. I ignore the hypesters because I was around the last time self driving cars were just few quarters away.

What I do is - I write a skeleton. Then I write a test suite (nothing fancy just 1 or sanity tests). I'll usually start with some logic that I want to implement and break it down into XYZ steps. Now one thing to note here - TDD is very useful. If it makes your head hurt it means the requirements arent very clear. Otherwise its relatively easy to write test cases. Second thing, if your code isnt testable in parts, it probably needs some abstraction and refactoring. I typically test at the level of abstraction boundaries. eg if something needs to write to database i'll write a data layer abstraction (standard stuff) and test that layer by whatever means are appropriate. Once the spec reaches a level where its a matter of typing, I'll add annotations in the code and add todos for codex. Then I instruct it with some context, by this time its much easier to write the context since TdD clears out the brain fog. And I tell it to finish the todos and only the todos. My most used prompt is "DONT CHANGE ANYTHING APART FROM THE FUNCTIONS MARKED AS TODO." I also have an AGENTS.md file listing any common library patterns to follow. And if the code isnt correct, I'll ask codex to redo until it gets to a shape I understand. Most of the time it gets things the 2nd time around, aka iteration is easier than ground 0. Usually it takes me a day to finish a part or atleast I plan it that way. For me, codex does save me a whole bunch of time but only because of the upfront investment.

You personally should just ignore the YouTubers most of them are morons. If you'd like to checkout AI coding flows, checkout the ones from the masters like Antirez, Mitchell H. Thats a better way of learning the right tricks.

I mean it was more about wanting to better your financial condition. Thats what I meant. By upper class I meant financially not like aristocracy.

Nova drained my erstwhile Android phones battery. Not sure if this has gotten any better.

If theres ever launch an enterprise version, I'll push for this product to be adopted across the company. And what a phenomenal name. Also a huge fan of k9s myself.

There's no evidence of Meta actually fudging numbers in their history. Theres a huge lens applied to these numbers. Engagement is their bread and butter and what pays for everything else.

Yeah but nothing stopped Twitters CEO to stop doing Nazi salutes in pulic and do their freaking job. He and his mate Dorsey kicked out a guy interested in the job and replaced Twitter with this stupid shit. Either ways unless you follow some prominent academics, most of Twitter is VCs pretending to "get" AI. I was very active there and it seemed to me most content tended to be 1/N type posts with zero content.

Its not. If you have a resume, send it out. A startup is a business and if it doesnt make money, fuck it and do something else. Sometimes you have to throw the baby out with the bathwater before that baby destroys you.
