different cultures have different views on disclosing vulnerabilities to distros before the public?

using flags for language is a bad pattern I wish would die. I'm not clicking on the British flag!

you can get the LLM to output max patches in JSON and copy paste directly into max. it was pretty decent at it when I tried and would probably be even better with relevant recent documentation in context.

some people only think about life as a way to make money. unfortunately coding was best-in-slot career for too long and these kinds of people hijacked the culture.

AGI is when it is general. a narrow AI trained only on coding and training AIs would contribute to the acceleration without being AGI itself.

if a feature I want is in the paid product then I assume there's less chance of it being added to the free version. every feature has to go through a process to decide if it's paid or free.

there's some minority that's in the venn diagram of being good at programming, being good at AI, then also being good at using AI for programming (which is mostly project management), and if everything aligns then there are superhuman productivity gains.

I'm tackling projects solo I never would have even attempted before but I could see people getting bad results and giving up.

it sounds like their approach is launch 5 with the same task and hopefully one works it out.

most of the coding agents now encourage you to make a rule for those times so it does remember.

with cline you can give it a huge action plan and it will grind away until it's done. with all the context shenanigans that cursor and copilot do, it can't handle multiple tasks as well. then they are farming requests from the user so they make you click to continue all the time.
