I wish we had a good LLM developer toolset that is not Anthropic or OpenAI with sensible business and ethical practices and good performance.

Can't wait for local on machine LLMs that are on par with Opus/Fable.

I will definitely be getting this regardless of price or specs. I'm no hard core gamer and I play Balatro, Vampire Survivors and occasional online Halo 2 with friends. This is perfect.

Too bad YouTube doesn't have a proper API for building 3rd party clients. I would love to build one and use it on my SteamDeck and on the big TV with the SteamMachine.

I think that if you build a solid foundation of your project and can articulate somewhat well what it is you want it to do, then you can expect a pretty good result. I typically limit my prompt to a specific file, often specify the lines and outline some of the logic and add references to other files where necessary. Then, Claude gets just enough context to to do what I want it to do.

Another trick I learnt is you can ask Claude to ask you comprehensive questions for clarification. Usually, it will then offer you a choice of 3 options per question that it might have and you can steer it towards the right implementation.

For professional work, I like to offload some annoying bug fixes to Claude and let it figure it out. Then, perusing the changes to make sure nothing silly is being added to the codebase. Sometimes it works pretty well. Other times, for complicated things I need to step in and manually patch. Overall, I'm a lot less stressed about meeting deadlines and being productive at work. On the other hand, I'm more stressed about losing my employment due to AI hype and its effectiveness.

For my side projects, I do like to offload the tedious steps like setup, scaffolding or updating tasks to Claude. Things like weird build or compile errors that I usually would have to spend hours Googling to figure out I can get sorted in a matter of minutes. Other than that, I still like to write my own code as I enjoy doing it.

Overall, I like it as a tool to assist in my work. What I dislike is how much peddling is being done to shove AI into everything.

I am also confused as to how this is relevant to HN.

This may sound stupid, but I wonder if using GPUI for a web browser could have some performance benefits...

Looks cool and congrats on the $1k MRR! Is the app built with electron?

I really like custom elements, I wish they were more popular.

I suppose drawing rectangles as GeoJSON on a map is the easy part. How would you build the parking spots allocation within a selected area?

How would you make this?

This is great, thanks for sharing! I've been thinking about improving error handling in my liveview app and this might be a nice way to start.

Unrelated, but v8.dev website is incredibly fast! Thought it would be content preloading with link hovering but no. Refreshing

I love Svelte and v5 is real nice with runes, what an incredible update. It works amazingly well with Elixir Phoenix thanks to live_svelte package.

I was skeptical at first, still am somewhat. However, I've been using OpenAI's app and its new search engine feature I can't see myself going back to traditional search engines.

I use copilot with Claude for software development, I cannot see myself going back to traditional autocomplete.

However, I do not see how else AI will revolutionize anything else especially now that they've hit the limits of what is currently possible with the technology of our time.

A lot of you who are supporting this are unaware that to enforce this, EVERYONE will have to have an online government ID and the government will be tracking EVERYONE's internet activity.

We should have this punishment for politicians and govt scamming people out of billions, too, then. Make it fair on all sides.
