<p>Why are we treating LLM evaluation like a vibe check rather than an engineering problem?<p>Most "Model X > Model Y" takes on HN these days (and everywhere) seem based on an hour of unscientific manual prompting. Are we actually running rigorous, version-controlled evals, or just making architectural decisions based on whether a model nailed a regex on the first try this morning?</p>

<p>For me, GitHub CLI is the prime example of this. This CLI is so incredibly powerful when combined with regular command line tools. Agents know how to use head, tail, jq and so on to only extract the parts it needs.<p>The best selling point of CLIs is the ability to chain, transform and combine. MCP cannot do this.</p>

<p>I agree. If you strictly follow the syntax of "Example 1" in JavaScript (calling and awaiting on the same line), the observable output is identical to Python.<p>I suppose the author meant to say that if you first called your async function and then later did `await` you would have different behavior.</p>

<p>Totally. It's a very boring part of this that one would have to contend with.<p>I kinda feel the same way about Facebook. Groups, events, marketplace are amazing for community building. But it's just so hard to compete with Meta.</p>

<p>Safe can mean a lot of things to different people i guess. I would love to incorporate some sort of reputation signal.<p>Perhaps positive reinforcement after people have met? Or just having social links?<p>But yeah, i dont have it all figured out yet</p>

<p>I think something like the matrix protocol would be better. I would be especially interested in not storing unencrypted user messages. Matrix would be a good choice for this.</p>

<p>I've been thinking a lot about building an open source dating app as a non-profit offering.<p>I have a sense that succesful dating contributes highly to overall human happiness. It should be a  public service similar to wikipedia or libraries.<p>Free forever, fair and safe, and responsibly managed. It's probably not that expensive to run. But idunno, i'm kinda frightened to "compete" in this market</p>

<p>>While I respect anyone’s decision to spend their days playing pickleball, that life isn’t quite for me—at least not full time. I’m lucky to wake up every day energized to go to work<p>Bit of an unfair comparison though.. Most people dont retire from a job where you're literally handing people money.<p>That said, I'm a huge fan Bill's work post-microsoft :)</p>

<p>Ive been using Zed's assistant panel heavily and have really enjoyed the experience. The UI can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes, when you write it's hard to get it to send your query. The new /workflow seems to really bridge the last gap to effectively edit the parts that im asking for help with changes.<p>I'm already paying for OpenAI API access, definitely gonna try this</p>
