You just did what some chatbot told you to do? One provided by the people whose profits you were trying to minimize?

I wouldn’t have expected that to go well.

Zach is awesome

The guy mentions that he’s never been to Tennessee and I believe him. Clearly he’s not aware of how low the population density is if he thinks trains make for sensible transport there.

Audiophiles are forced to finally admit that their real hobby is just spending money.

This would be awesome wrapped in an MCP server/tool call :)

My experiences have been the same… that is to say nothing like what is reported here. This is more pitch than info.

Odd timing, too given flash 2.0 release and its performance on this problem.

We use Claude 3.5 sonnet to OCR and structure tabular data from PDFs and it’s virtually flawless… orders of magnitude better than Textract (or pretty much any other LLM).

??? There are lots of examples of this.

They want war? Someone else’s, at that?

Crazy.

I love just! Any way to avoid remembering things is great.

Cybertruck may be the best example of over-promising and under-delivering of all time.

It’s just another Bambu clone anyway

Why? Seems like a very expensive way to vaguely clone a game.

I’m gonna bet this is a lie.

The new disclaimer at the beginning of the broadcast was doing some heavy lifting throughout the entire presentation.

An odd choice of language for something with such robustness and scalability requirements. I love ruby, but for this?

Rust and ‘minimal effort’ have to business being in the same room.

It just went out of business for… reasons. There are better tools out there nowadays, apparently. Why emulate a sunken ship?

It’s just been so long since going from ‘head to code’ has been the hard part for me. I’d imagine you have to be very unfamiliar for this to be useful.

Per-token billing will be lit

You’d have to be really terrible at writing code for anything like this to be ‘easier’.

I couldn’t possibly disagree with every point in this post any more. Rust is bad because.. people update things? What?

It really feels like they’re just reaching for Rust and don’t know it yet

If your company hires more scrum masters and project managers than engineers, this is where you’re heading.

This is the future that they warned us about.

Went looking for a reason to be angry, didn’t find one (quite the opposite!) but meh… just protest anyway lol

When you read the article and realize that they’re actually complaining about a raise.

Both are a hot mess in practice. I could imagine a scenario where this ‘flexibility’ in not knowing what you’re building ahead of time may be valuable but I’ve never lived one. I’d rather think it through?

This is the type of thing that I’ve only ever read about on the internet and have never heard of a normal person actually doing.

This is essentially what I’ve done, having started 15 years ago with Ruby on Rails and now leading development of most ML-related applications at my current job. I’ve been interested in ML since 2017 or so, just found it interesting.
