the latter is expected, but the collective semi-serious mass internet prediction cycles are the worst

a lot of my feed in various places lately is people pretending to know how LLMs and agents are not going to actually replace certain parts of my software engineering job and taste (and related subjective functions) is the real moat or how I'm not using the full power of these tools yet

all swiftui, wanted it to look and feel as native as possible and have all the billion-dollar compiz effects

plus, the inference frameworks used aren’t really portable, I wonder if RN or Flutter expose libraries that generically do on-device LLMs across both (MLKit or Foundation)

Yeah, vision gets raw OCR data, foundation models extract it into meaningful fields.

In India at least, if you have a business account and you need to claim business expense, you’re required by law to have the invoice or bill.

since @nid90.bsky.social got a new current account I made her an iOS app to track business expenses and sync on google sheets

vision + foundation models, all local and on-device, so quick!

I'm writing an emacs-local code-review agent and reading through your tree-sitter treatise got me sticking tree-sitter operations as tool-calls in the loop. Super helpful!

I need a new/better word for code that's hand-crafted but with a high-degree of AI assistance.

the real super intelligence is instantly spotting that the Nikhil Kamath and Dario’s interview is Four Seasons in Bangalore because of the specific carpet pattern and background landscape

configuring modern llm tooling is the new oh-my-zsh

I started watching The Leftovers during COVID, and I was so pulled in by it that I decided to NOT watch the last 3 eps indefinitely, so that I can come back to it 10-20y later and hopefully feel like that again (5y and counting).

i'm sure there's a dozen more metaphorical world-building for the exact same underlying gt tool chain

i didn't find this particularly unhinged

software engineers of any reasonable seniority are very good at coming up with metaphorical feedback loops in all sorts of internally consistent analogies, as models to build intuition for themselves or as public punchlines

i would much rather have coderabbit style reviews inside magit than in GitHub PRs

Rock Swings - Wikipedia

all these soul / motown funk / synthwave ai covers of pop music from the last 2 decades is cool but did you know that paul anka made an actual album with real jazz musicians covering all these songs 20y ago en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Sw...

I wonder if we can do llm swe benchmarks that specifically decontaminate certain "ergonomically human" ideas from training, like tasteful, dev-ex oriented libraries or frameworks (say rails) and see if we can progressively prompt (+elicit) our way to something that everyone "enjoys" using

@headius.bsky.social you planning to visit Bangalore? I couldn’t be at RCI this time around. Happy to host you, if you do!

like we know people are doing a lot more with these things, but he just sort of glosses over, and it's unclear whether it's intentional or he just doesn't have the words to convey specificity

i have seen like 4 full-length sam altman interviews in the past months (including the nikhil kamath one) and there's something very weirdly unsophisticated about his pitch about AI every time

it always slants towards something like start a company and write code or plan itineraries and do science

great to see that newgrounds.com still blocked in India

has anyone been able to set up conventional commit rules on commits from squash and merge PRs going to main on GitHub?

I looked all over Tokyo for a CD player for my car, no luck. Keep one for me if you find one.
