When you have built your working product try this prompt:

- Review the codebase is it production ready? I'm selling it for $1million dollars can it meet that standard.

Then cry as the ai reveals that it didn't actually do anything close to what it said it did. I call this my million dollar prompt, as in it teaches you just how much you are being fooled.

> If you want fixes/features, you'll prompt your LLM and it'll make it so.

I've been using the agents since the day they came out. This, does not work. It works if you want an app that looks like it works if that works without any testing. If you use the app in any way that isn't boiler plate it will break. Because you can't prompt ai with a simple feature no matter how small and have it cover all the important cases.

What these models do is the absolute bear minimum to satisfy the user even if it means cheating. And anyone who doesn't look thinks its miraculous. It really is not.

So, you absolutely can prompt it to add a feature, but you need to prompt it 10-20 times to get the actual feature built. If you don't know this yet rip.

And before we continue, also known that when you prompt for the next feature. There is a high chance the last feature you built will be altered or deleted.

"building personal software won't require a developer's stack for much longer."

I will if you are building anything good. What even is this statement?

I went through a period of home theatre building. What I learned from that, is that cinema sound is so badly calibrated and just downright awful in most cases.

Its one of the things that led to me no longer going to the cinema. You can get a much better and immersive sound stage at home for not much money.

1. Don't do anything 2. Be content

The second rule conflicts with the first making this impossible.

Any experienced meditator knows that to 'be content' isn't a passive action. You have to think to do it.

If you truly practice no thought, there is no 'content' to be.

I added a git repo to AUR last year. It was super easy with basically no checks of any kind. Once these reports came out recently, I went through and deleted every AUR package that I could.

Sounds great! You'll just need your social security or passport id sent to google to install and use it... sobs

AI hype really is all just about appearances isn't it.

Final destination

My phone use is completely different to this. I mainly use it as a reading and text communication device.

A phone is just a computer.

Relative to punch cards and writing in machine code, I imagine the statement was entirely correct. And still is.

I started playing the audio. I liked it. The text was right there matching what I was hearing. I just wish that it highlighted the word in the audio. I'd much prefer a tts version that does that, even if the voice quality is worse. There was a disconnect between my eyes and ears and it felt off.

I've been working on an app over a year. I think it needs to be considered that agent cli's only really released about a year ago. Before that, I was copy and pasting code between web chat windows into a terminal.

Additionally, the ai models only got good in November/December last year. How easily we forget.

The result of this? I had to do several full rewrites and there are still many bugs left over from these. AI simply wasn't powerful enough to do the task and littered the codebase with issues that I'm still even now dealing with.

Not sure the intent of the question. Is the pen the car or the bicycle?

To me bicycles are for health and for short distances. Cars are for heavy objects and long distances.

I used to ride bicycles to the train station, then get a train to another city and ride it on the other side. Which kind of alters that.

Essentially for me at least, bicycles and cars have entirely different uses.

A pen on the other hand, is just a worse version of a keyboard. Unless I'm signing a document. Though as the years pass, that is increasingly done digitally and often doesn't even involve hand movements that anywhere near resemble pen use.

I don't make the rules

I like the sound of nix but the disk space issue is a deal breaker for me - my sdd is always full.

I run my main arch system in under 6GB. That's enough for qemu and wine and a few other bits which is all I need - the rest is in VMs

Would like to switch it to nix though..

I'd say this is relevant:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwriter

I don't like the name. Can suggest renaming to insane browser because this is actually insane in a good way. :)

What happens if you run it in a TTY ? Does it fail to render anything?

I'd rather learn a language than write with a pen. In my life at least, writing with a pen is now depreceated. Maybe writing left handed would be worth it but I can't think of another good reason to bring it back.

> Ultra lightweight

Doesn't nixos use a lot more diskspace than arch, because of its store?

Reading this made me think that a good solution would be to write your own filesystem as a mod if an existing system. It just needs to differ enough from existing recognised systems. Then nobody would be able to read except you and the encrypted data effectively doesn't exist. It just would show up as an unreadible partition.

This is a too big to fail scenario. If these companies fail, so does the US economy. Normal laws for individuals don't apply, so any comparison to that is pointless.

Britain and the US are nothing alike in the sense that in Britain, if you are valuable high earning worker you get actively punished for it with heavy and arguable unjust additional taxes. There are real incentives to working less and retiring early in Britain, so that's what most do.

I just used an llm to configure bashrc at login to offer a menu to fire it off. Either steam heroic or CLI (logging in as a separate game user)

Gamescope replaces X or Wayland so you just run it and then the app you want it to open

The creative in me would rather take the cursed parts of of the cheap models and edit them together.

America has plenty of desert. Wierd that it's not used.

I was looking at creating blogs and YouTube content years ago, but I concluded that because of the way algorithms work, good content is actively buried. And where it does find people, the people are trained not to want it.

It really is just a hamster wheel at this point. If you want to create content the content has to be modern day clickbait, and then there is no time or energy left to make good content. So why bother in the first place?

These days I actively avoid any website of app that uses an algorithm, because simply it doesn't have anything on it I actually want to consume.

For my own music that I make, I share it on WhatsApp/Signal with my friends and family. No point putting it anywhere else.

I use gamescope on a separate TTY that directly launches either steam or heroic launcher. I find this works exceptionally well. No window manager needed as you are playing a game full screen anyway. It fixed some other things like HDR too but at a loss of the volume and brightness keys no longer working.

A lot if this industrialisation is actually factories making products that are outsourced manufacturing. So it doesn't really make sense to say its China, India's or Vietnam's fault, when most of the products are being shipped to the US and EU and are not necessarily local born companies.

It's a friction thing. Managing a messaging perform takes effort and technical understanding. Facebook groups won by default ten years ago.
