A lot of models required exactly that. But I imagine it varies from model to model.

Automobiles as a whole, yes. Spending $30k+ more than you needed to for a luxury or big honker, no.

Wat? I would have thought a TUI is the least ADA compliant. Sure it has hotkeys (as does any decent GUI app) but does it have TalkBack and all the other accessibility features? I don't think ASCII-art is very accessibility friendly.

I think you can make it to 5 million in maybe about 12 years at FAANG. Maybe quicker if you're frugal. More if you raise the ranks quickly.

Use Dockerfiles. You have a build step that installs everything to complete the build and then another step that only installs the production deps you want to deploy.

I'm sad that it doesn't work particularly well for low quality thumbnails. AVIF seems better in that department. You did say that but it means I can't just use it for everything.

Yay! Good timing. I just integrated JXL into my photo gallery website a few days ago. Non-optional. I can't afford to be hosting Jpegs :-) Now I don't have to tell people to flip the flag in their settings.

All of that is pretty trivial stuff, not complex algorithms.

You can also literally scope things between X and Y now (with @scope)

Not sure you understand the term 'surprisingly well'. It means 'better than expected'. I suspect they parent poster didn't actually expect to get >= 100 T/s.

It could have been fed videos of people painting.

Connecting it's capabilities to simulating the recreation of such paintings... that's I suppose interesting. But adding brush strokes to produce an image is probably well covered by video footage in its training data. e.g. all the Bob Ross videos in existence.

How do you get agents to set up a workflow? You just get them to modify the JSON directly and then import it, or do you have a tighter integration (e.g. in the UI)?

I guess, but why are you even submitting/merging code that doesn't work? Like how does it even get that far that you're blocking other people from getting stuff done?

I guess I won't deny that we've had more build breakages than usual over the past couple months but they get resolved super quick. We don't hesitate to roll broken code back if something manages to slip in.

Interesting. Never heard of someone using an inventory system for the wine.

You haven't addressed what I asked though. Are you sitting the boxes upright? Do they have corks or are these cheapo screw cap bottles?

I see. So your skepticism is not so much that the agents are incapable of figuring things out, but that HF would have blocked any suspicious activity.

I can't really refute that. There are many small and medium businesses that I know are susceptible to very basic attacks but I don't know enough about HF to guess how hardened their security is.

FancyZones (part of PowerToys) is pretty good. Maybe not exactly what you're used to (I don't know), but I'm happy with it.

Wild idea: pressing the back button while your mouse is over the scroll bar takes you back to your previous scroll position.

New comment by hdjrudni in "Plan mode is dead"

hdjrudni — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 21:35:47 +0000

I still use plan mode. I use it for large features that I haven't fully thought out. Which I guess is like the author's "planning" phase. But I don't see the issue with using plan mode for planning. I welcome the agent to ask me for questions and clarifications. Do I read the full spec it produces at the end? Usually not. Usually the agent is smart enough to highlight the important tidbits and assumptions. I read those.

It's particularly important when you're making architecture changes or things other features will need to build on top of. I want to know what libs its going to use. The nitty gritty details I don't really care about.

It hasn't been updated in 11 years. Not sure I'd call that "keeping it alive".

Someone literally said that to me when I did a thing. I'd never heard it before. But I'm careful about the things I do now because as soon as I touch or fix something I'm suddenly the owner of it for the rest of time.
