dieortin··on No AI Fridays
Based on what you’re describing as “your zone”, I would assume you have never experienced the flow state others are talking about. Flow state comes with long stretches of deep, focused work, without context switches or interruptions. This is fundamentally incompatible with what you’re claiming to be “your zone”.

dieortin··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
Not details, but at least having a basic notion of where countries are located. Everyone should be expected to know, for example, that Mexico and Spain are two different countries that are located in different continents. Yet it’s always people from the same country referring to one by the name of the other.

Depends, if you use textproto then renaming is problematic too

That’s exactly what the article you’re commenting on tries to answer. I recommend you read it

Ukraine and Russia have infinitely more experience with drone warfare than the US.
dieortin··on Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for the first time
The USA tends to kill way more civilians than any other military in the world though, so I’m not sure it’s a good example.

The difference is that in those systems a human chose the target. Here, an AI does.

The comment you’re replying to already explains why they have a corkscrew… I’m used to people not reading the article they’re commenting on, but this is the first time I see someone not reading the comment they’re replying to.

It’s very easy to split changes in more PRs than needed to boost the number.

dieortin··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
Writing the code is usually not the bottleneck, so you don’t gain that much speeding it up. And as I said, you lose a lot of knowledge about the code when you don’t write it yourself.

Unless coding is most of your job, which is rare, you’re giving up really knowing what your software does in order to achieve a very minor speed up. Just to end up having to spend way more time later trying to understand the AI generated code when inevitably something breaks.

> And if you do it the way I describe you get to both use AI, AND have "a much better understanding of the codebase (and way better code)".

Using AI is not a goal in itself, so I don’t care about “getting to use AI”. I care about doing my job as efficiently as possible, considering all parts of my job, not just coding.

dieortin··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
Might as well just write the code yourself at that point. And as a bonus, end up with a much better understanding of the codebase (and way better code)

That’s like firing someone because he uses vim instead of VSCode. Who cares about the tools someone uses if he still does his job well?

Do they? Based on what I’ve seen with a quick search, this doesn’t seem to be true
dieortin··on Codex for almost everything
Why are all your comments praising OpenAI and its models or attacking the competition?
dieortin··on Spain to expand internet blocks to tennis, golf, movies broadcasting times
> Half the country or more just doesn't work or do anything else when there's an important match anyway.

This is completely false. In the first half of this LaLiga season, the most watched match had 3 million viewers: https://barloventocomunicacion.es/informes-barlovento/el-fut... Spain has a population of almost 50M. So the most viewed match was around 6% of the population.

I’m not sure what makes you think you “know Spain” enough to throw this kind of ridiculous claim around, but please inform yourself.

Most LLM usage does not go through Openrouter. Most people access LLMs thorough ChatGPT, Gemini etc. apps, integrations into popular products…

The percentage of total tokens being handled by Openrouter is a tiny blip
