im dumb. can someone explain why this is better than just telling your llm to build a chart with something thats been around for over a decade like chart.js or anything else that we built to solve for displaying charting?


oh this is awesome, i've always thought it could be cool to leave always connect hubs around town. ESP32's would be to awkward but a bunch of lightbulbs would blend right in!

Reads like you had fun, keep up the hacking!

P.S main -> mail I think?


sorry specifically this line > The bulbs showed up in the main a few days later


asking for curiosities sake. What kind of PR loop are you running that takes a few hours?


not OP but usually for me this means long verification loop; waiting 10min on CI checks, that kind of thing, rather than actual 1hr wall clock of token generation


But those things won't be sped up by a faster LLM, so I feel like that's not what the OP is talking about.


Well, I used an extreme example. OTOH, I’ve done quite a few of those „fix CI” or „migrate X” prompts recently and while there is a fixed component like running CI / builds, I’d say the LLM time is still around or above 50%, especially at the beginning of the project. Then there’s also regular tasks that now take minutes per message which completely get me out of the zone. I imagine iterating on those in near real time would be a big change.


Or slow MCP servers that are waiting on HTTP calls from APIs, playwright/other UI instrumentation, etc.


I’m rewriting our integration test suite to run tests in parallel. I have the changes split across 7 branches, and each needs to be fixed to have no flaky tests. I told it I want 3 consecutive CI runs with no flakes and no artificial fixes / assert removals etc. We’ll see what comes out; it’s almost a side project so there’s not much to lose other than some of my weekly limit that resets soon.

Basically the entire token-maxxing AI hype train in a nutshell. Lovely!


wdym? Nobody's paying me or rewarding me for using these tokens. I had some spare in my subscription limit (we're not on token pricing), so I decided to try an ambitious task that may reduce our CI times and improve our DX significantly. That's hardly "the entire token-maxxing AI hype train in a nutshell".


I’m curious when folks will tire of lighting money on fire. Companies are already starting to scale back a bit, but the AI companies are still nowhere near profitability.


where can i pick one up thats reputable?


Apple. Or, what do you mean by one?


there is an official codex plugin for claude. I just have them do adversarial reviews/implementations. etc with each other. adds a bit of time to the workflow but once you have the permissions sorted it'll just engage codex when necessary


I had to step back for my own sanity when dealing with similar issues with xfinity, had multiple FCC cases open and they just lied their way through it with no impunity.

OP if you're organizing let me know I have a burning fire passion for xfinity to get their just desserts


Do you have any ideas on how to leverage such organization to effectuate change?

It would sure be great to have internet classified as a public utility.


Start by never voting for deregulation


you guys don't just memorize all your local ip's?


In my day we memorized IPs AND ports. 10.24.67.22:78342 was to access our bug tracker and 192.168.240.17:21282 was for our CVS repository!

Seriously though, one of the first things I did when I was hired as the sysadmin for a small company was to eliminate the need for memorizing/bookmarking ip-port combos. I moved everything to standard ports and DNS names.

Any services running on the same machine that needed the same ports were put behind a reverse proxy with virtual hosts to route to the right service. Each IP address was assigned an easy-to-remember DNS name. And each service was setup with TLS/SSL instead of the bare HTTP they had previously.


He is referencing delta 9, which has a lot of the same similarities as what we refer to colloquially as "weed".

Delta 9 is much different physiologically and psychologically and can induce this abhorrent behaviors.

Also in the mid to early 2000's over 50.3% of US adults (Pew Research Center) had tried cannabis, I can assure you someone in your "circle" has smoked in their life.


is this the same thing Avi Schiffmann is peddling ?


Similar but different: this is a productivity tool, it improves your life but doesn't replace your friends


no Avi just stole the name "Friend"
