I don't get what's so difficult to understand. They have ambitions beyond just coding. And Claude is generally a good LLM. Even beyond just the coding applications.

I've actually started moving away from Postgres to MySQL and SQLite. I don't want to have to deal with the vacuums/maintenance/footguns.

And yet people still use them.

I actually thought Blender's support for USD was coming along nicely? I remember setting up a scene with Blender, USD and Unreal Engine and it worked pretty well.

No it isn't. Many, if not most, people in the industry use Maya.

Blender has an input keymap for people who use Maya, yes. It's called "Industry Compatible". So yes, Maya keybinds.

How's the Strix Halo? I'd really like to get a local inference machine so that I don't have to use quantized versions of local models.

I really like Blender and it's an amazing product, but I can't get over the standard Blender keymap. The "industry compatible" workflow is more sane, but then I have to translate tutorials from the Blender keymap to the industry compatible controls, and they're not always 1:1

+1. Claude is actually really good at all kinds of development but Claude will still make plenty of mistakes and occasionally go so far in the wrong direction that it still needs someone with experience to steer it.

One of the better, more levelheaded responses here.

I tried to use CircleCI and I gotta say, it is absolutely not better than GitHub Actions…

> Every time I consider learning Rust, I am thrown back by how... "janky" the syntax is. It seems to me that we ought to have a system-level language which builds upon the learnings of the past 20+ years.

I said this years ago and I was basically told "skill issue". It's unreadable. I shudder to think what it's like to maintain a Rust system at scale.

Yeah I agree. If it weren't for gaming I would have already uninstalled Windows permanently. It's really unfortunate because it sticks out as the one product in my house that I truly despise but I can't get rid of, due to gaming.

I've been trying to get Unreal Engine to work on my Macbook but Unity is an order of magnitude easier to run. So I'm also stuck doing game development on my PC. The Metal APIs exist and apparently they're quite good... it's a shame that more engines don't support it.

I'm permabanned on Reddit for saying stuff that the mods didn't like on /r/games on multiple accounts. That website is beyond gone and it's depressing, because it was my favorite site. But the mod situation is seriously out of control. I used to buy Reddit Gold (when that was still a thing) so I found it to be incredibly stupid that this source of revenue was shut off.

And yet Reddit still lives on. Somehow.

Your original comment implies that "vibe coding", AKA, using LLMs to code, produces suboptimal results. I'm telling you that I've used LLMs extensively to write Unreal Engine games that work well, not just "Tailwind slop".

You're not having a discussion in good faith.

Why do you assume that LLMs are only coding Tailwind slop...? I've used LLMs extensively in C++ development of Unreal Engine games.

There are so many people en masse who simply cannot accept that the days of coding manually, by hand, could be coming to an end. It's wild.

Really? Because this feels like a pretty significant downgrade from Sonnet 4 on real world tasks.

LLMs are a very specific kind of beast. Using an `rsync --help` or getting any kind of specific documentation into context would have unblocked you.

I can back that claim up. Unfortunately, I've only worked on proprietary codebases and I can't share them. However before I left my previous gig at PermitFlow I was primarily using Claude Code for all of my work.

I don't view LLMs as ways of foregoing the responsibility of writing code and rather see it as my "really smart keyboard". With enough context priming and a well structured codebase I no longer need to spend time writing each line of code and can have Claude do it in a fraction of the time.

I need to start a blog sooner rather than later as I don't agree with the article nor the naysayers. Maybe a year ago I'd say that it's not possible to code with LLM agents. However ever since Cursor's release, LLMs have completely changed my workflow.

RIP

Not really attacking the poster, just tired of my eyes being assaulted by this kind of writing everywhere now.

So now we're getting AI slop on Hacker News too?

I'm actually super excited about this project. Out of curiosity, does the compositor they use have HDR support? It's one of the features I miss on Linux desktops.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted as this is a valid opinion to have. IMO my list is MacOS Sonoma, Windows 7, Gnome 30+. While I like the ideas behind KDE, XFCE and the like, they are terribly ugly by today's standards.

I tried it and I think it's still missing a few important features.

- I don't want to constantly auto-accept. The point of auto-accept is that it auto-accepts. Seems like a bug.

- It'd be great if I could go back to a specific message and delete the ones I don't want, similar to the CLI version.

- Where is Plan Mode? Maybe I just couldn't figure out how to get to it.

- I can't easily see Background Tasks.

- How do I change models?

- How do I create new sessions (via /new for instance)? Why is `/clear` not supported?

- I don't want to see the entirety of the edits in the terminal. Can they be collapsed by default? Or maybe show a preview?

Why is it collapsing?

We get it; it helped you build a bunch of stuff. Why not just post your company?

This made my entire week

> I'd say few tech people have been excited about Apple otherwise lately, as product or platform.

Maybe you're speaking for yourself? I absolutely love my Macbook and the M-series are the best devices I've ever owned.

> - A neglected desktop OS with slowly deteriorating quality

Really? I haven't noticed.
