You have to ruthlessly prune the feed to get something worth reading.
What are these bottlenecks specifically that you feel are essential?
Am trying to compare this to reports that people are not reviewing code any more.
Definitely feels like a good amount of dev work is writing the same things over and over, in a different language, codebase or context. And it seems like llms are particularly good at translating, specializing and contextualizing across existing knowledge.
It might be financial beneficial once as an up-front payment,
but long term, as others have mentioned, really not good for the project to remove the only feature that gives firefox a defensible way to fill it's niche in the market.
How is Devin different from cursor?
I recently used cursor and it has felt very capable in implementing tasks across files. I get that cursor is an IDE but it's ai functionality feels very agentic.. where do you draw the line?
Two lads set themselves up in the business of selling conkers one year.
Any accidentally dropped conkers were stamped on by any and all in the vicinity.
A conker that survived to the next year was considered "seasoned", although many's the wizened tippex-covered lump of questionable provenance appeared under this explanation.
Any stats available on accuracy?
I'm curious here too, I only flipped through your channels for a minute, but found something interesting immediately.
I go to youtube and seem to run out of quality quickly. I even went as far as crawling the HN frontpage for videos - see hacker news TV - https://xiliary.com/bck/hn-tv.html
Can you say more about flow?
I'm curious about practical use cases, could you share some examples?
I would guess there's a sizable chunk of people who but these coins are not investors as such.
The long tail of people buy the long tail of coins.
I bought coins when I first discovered them, driven by curiosity mostly.
Humans probably have about the same error rate. It's easy to miss a comma or quote.
These systems compete with humans, not with formatters.
Agree on walkable, although I really like the idea of personal public transport that would be door-to-door and on-demand. I expect it would distribute cities more, and alleviate the hub-and-spoke model that public transport is sometimes built to, e.g. Dublin, Ireland.
My car is empty 99% of the time, it could be very highly utilised by the general public.
How about self driving cars as public transport?
This scenario emerges as often when starting from the toy as it does starting from the "correct" full implementation.
yes hopefully, that's the best scenario.
I am amazed at the number of engineers I've worked with who jump straight into the full implementation. I've done it myself on a few occasions thinking "how hard can this be".
Building the "toy" first is great.
In my experience, about one third of the time the toy is all you need, you can stop there, and what you were going to build fully would be over-engineering. About one third of the time, building the toy tells you you're taking the unworkable approach as you mentioned. And the other third of the time you can extend the toy.

Is there a git repo one can peruse?
How do you maintain that as things grow?
Light switches and steering wheels never work properly in my dreams. I have to concentrate really hard to get things to follow the rules. Then I wake up.
What percentage of homeless have mental illness or drug abuse issues?
That's quite a line-up they have! I have a Elephone S3 pro, two day battery is really great when traveling, no worries. I'll strongly consider an Ulephone next..
Can you give us an example where a smaller company was successful in court against a much larger corp?
Is your code easily deleted? That would be better than - is your code easily modified?
Change is hard, starting again is more fun.

Quick and easy personal email notifications.
I got tired of configuring email for simple things.
I have one very intensive user.
It's a side-side-project.
I've always been sheepish about this, but bash is my favorite programming environment! Not really because of any language features as such, more it's terseness and simplicity. Another big draw for me is bash's ubiquity. All of this makes bash the ultimate glue layer. That said, if a bash script goes longer than ten lines long I'll usually rewrite in python.
