What is the best drop-in OSS replacement that has support for skills and mcps?
Then when you actually dig into the code, there are many things that are not like you'd expect.
When you've experienced that a few times, you stop trusting that the agent gives you the full picture - for good reason.
When I review AI generated code I generally find so many flaws that it makes it hard for me to believe that those who are not reviewing their output are not just fooling themselves. Maybe not all the time, but quite often.
One such recent example was an SSO simulator for a local env. Instead of using a cookie to remember who was logged in, the agent remembered the last log in a variable, assuming the the next requests would come from that login.
This snowballed into our tests, where later agents had created helper tools for working around the SSO simulators statefulness.
Because there are so many of them (at least in Denmark where I live) they are pretty cheap and it's easy to get one with an I-processor.
My current machine's idle draw is also very low at 5-6w.*
*Based on some quick research it does seem that I was a bit lucky with mine, so I guess it's fair to mention that mileage may vary.
All I see is a fast food factory. Sure it's interesting that you can produce so much so quickly. But what is produced is endlessly uninteresting to me. It doesn't help that all the harness building is just SEO in disguise. Trial and error.
I don't doubt that agentic programming makes it possible to produce faster, but it also comes at a great cost for me, which is that I largely don't enjoy my job anymore. If I was given the choice between that and halving my salary I would have chosen the latter.
I doubt that they will go back to where Sony are now.
But! The price is not insulting. You can built a slightly faster PC for a little less, but that PC would be ~10 times larger, it would be louder, it would lack features like HDMI-CEC and good wifi/bluetooth. It really wouldn't compare for living room usage.
In order to get anywhere near the size of the Steam Machine, you'd have to exceed its costs.
An average enterprise developer would never add bloat like that up-front, unless if the ability to change the order was a requirement.
Obviously a stable order can be easily derived from the ID or a creation time (if available).
Setting a position however requires extra steps to ensure the integrity of the sequence.
I see things like that all the time, and it's always stuff that grows the code base and adds unnecessary complexity.
My guess would be that it's not so much a difference between projectors and OLEDs as it is a difference between old movies and new movies.
Personally I think that slow pixels is the wrong way to "fix" poor motion blur in movies.
We have rules that should prevent companies from selling broken and dangerous crap. Should I not be upset that Temu ignores those rules deliberately and floods the EU with exactly that?
Temu is just deliberately ignoring any rules.
How does that not add any value?
Temu is free to take the same responsibility, but they don't.
> When such a system reaches a certain level of complexity, it inevitably generates the concept of “I” as a way to simplify the processing of overwhelming information.
I don't see how this is different from someone saying that a concoction of random ingredients will turn into a magic potion.
The big question is how a group of cells (or potentially something else) becomes sentient. Accepting "because it would be useful" as valid explanation would be the same as accepting Darwinism as a religion rather than science.
Banks are generally required to check that their customers are not laundering money. In a lot of countries it's illegal to buy or sell goods that you know are very likely stolen.
It don't think it's outrageous to expect more action from Cloudflare when they must know that their service is used for protecting criminal sites.
Relatedly I'd want the betting companies whose ads are shown on these illegal pages to have some amount of responsibility for where their ads are shown, and the same goes for well-renowned websites that show clearly deceiving ads.
It the same thing with social media and moderation. We don't have to let them off the hook just because doing the right thing would make them unprofitable.
It lacks a lot of features, but IMO feels less "busy" than the terminal version, which I like.
Very recently Zed also gained support for parallel sessions, which is nice. In general it's very obvious that a lot of effort goes into improving it, and it gets better with every release.
The multibuffer result is so nice for "hands-on" search and replace.
Som even if most people change phone before the battery gets really bad (I doubt that this is really the case), the end result will still be that fewer new phones will be purchased.
Now we just need a law that requires hardware makers unlock their devices when they stop providing updates.
Too bad we've now managed to turn programming into the same annoying guesswork.
I'm not talking about the view from my front porch, I'm talking about solar panels in nearly every direction, like a sort of barrier, choking the town.
As mentioned we do have solar panels in some directions, we just don't want them everywhere.
Also there's no dichotomy here, it's not a choice between choking small towns and saving the planet vs. the opposite.
I'm arguing that we should first and foremost place solar panels where people already do not want to live for various reasons. The incentives we've created so far have not been good at that.
Update: I realise that I misread the first part of your comment. The agriculture that the panels are replacing is probably what you would call monoculture. It would however seem that the monoculture you picture looks very different from what we have in Denmark. If you think about endless "field deserts" that's not what it is. That is also why people like to live here.
1-2 days per year the whole town has a smell of manure.
That's is an externality we accepted when we moved here, so we do not complain that the fields need to produce food.
Also, you are implying that we have not accepted any solar panels, which is wrong. We have plenty in the near area. We just don't want all the fields surrounding the town to be plastered with panels.
