wheels are so much simpler that it seems much easier and more cost efficient to solve the "transporting a wheeled robot up the stairs problem" than it does to go fully bipedal.
Just like math is learned by solving equations, software engineering is learned by writing code
Due to technological advances, solving equations stopped being a marketable skill, but understanding mathematics is as important as ever.
Software engineering will follow a similar route as math- the marketable skill will no longer be to write code, but writing code will be necessary to understand the big picture and build the marketable skills.
You are not stuck between public API pricing for frontier models via Claude and self hosted.
Remember that there are other LLM providers, open models, and previous gen models, that are way cheaper that frontier Claude and still way better than what can realistically run locally
If you're interested in keyboard navigation of websites, consider a browser or extension with link hinting support! It worked really well in my experience a few years ago, although I've since became much more of a mouse guy and stopped using it.
Qutebrowser was my favorite browser for keyboard navigation but firefox, chrome, etc. have extensions for this as well.
I think that this has the benefit of both raising a non trivial amount of money as well as reducing housing demand from the wealthy in a supply constrained market
I used to work with a guy who would always say "if you're looking for trouble, you are going to find it"
When I hear that "we found X bugs using some new tool", where the standard for bugs is low and doesn't neccessarily require user impact in realistic scenarios, I think to myself- duh! You went looking for bugs, of course you found them.
For a sufficiently complicated product, in my experience, you don't have to look far.
Easy to say that! Some problems are legitimately hard to solve though. Github is likely seeing usage patterns that have never been seen before and I bet some of these failure modes are novel
If you are at the limits of your architecture you may need to re-write things, and if you are rewriting things you can not arbitrarily speed that up by throwing dollars at it.
> Could be. But 99% of the repos are static garbage with no PR nor actions.
But the 1% of repos that do have PRs and actions are likely going to be seeing enormous increases in volumes
I have been a part of two very large companies with self hosted gits and I've seen enough to be confident that this is an incredibly hard thing to manage
With a good CLI, an agent may be able to do something outside of the scope of it's skill fairly easily, by running help commands or similar. With even a well written API it is not as easy.
I suppose that curl + API docs could replace a CLI but that's really token inefficient
I dislike that the conversation about wealth is increasingly tied to comparisons with the wealth of others.
Just because I am not likely to join the class of billionaires, does not mean I can not become wealthy! I prefer to measure wealth in terms of quality of life rather than by comparison to others.
I do not have to join the capital class to produce a great life for my family and live in stability and happiness
I totally agree that republicans are irresponsible with the deficit. But americans don't seem motivated by the deficit, they seem motivated by inflation.
Inflation and the deficit don't have a 1:1 relationship. For the same dollar of debt, you'll see more inflation from social service spending than you will from tax cuts.
Generally speaking, people thought that government spending led to massive inflation, and the republicans have stronger rhetoric around cutting government spending.
Whatever your political affiliation and thoughts on the war, I hope we can all agree that it would an awful thing to base our foreign policy on the US election cycle.
I'm sure claude does great at that, but it would be objectively better, for a large variety of reasons, if claude didn't have to keep syntax examples in it's context.
