People are comparing this to tech automating wood work, knitting, baking etc. That comparison is fundamentally flawed.

You still needed to know how to operate those machines. Where to begin, when to do what. Know what’s right and what’s wrong. They are just tools.

Something like claude desktop can help regular people build, a fully functioning, scalable and maintainable program on any platform contrary to popular opinion. These harnesses are getting that good.

Only reason people don’t do that is because they are intimidated. Regular people don’t even understand file systems. As soon as an Apple-like version of claude code exists that intimidation will be gone.

I have been writing code for 14 years now and everything I learned from my failures and successes someone else can get for free. Even newer paradigms these LLM’s can dream up.

Its the democratisation, of that foundation people put so much effort building is what pissed off everyone here. Including myself I’ll admit.

Results of all these years of hard earned knowledge are accessible to any random person off the street without any effort.

I use claude code at work, even for architectural decisions it can iterate small prototypes to validate. I still read code because I am old school but it can replace most people.

> years of hard earned knowledge is accessible to any random person off the street without any effort.

Isn't this like saying "any one can paint now because every one have a camera?"..

That’s why I added “Results of” that knowledge in front of it. :)

But to be honest, an llm can also be the world’s most patient teacher who can conjure multiple examples if they ask it what was just written. I have seen people out of my field use terms only someone actively working in it would know.

Most people live without knowing how their cars, fuels, medicine, phones work anyways.

> llm can also be the world’s most patient teacher...

It won't throw a hissy fit. True. But what it does instead is that it will take you in circles instead, until your patience runs out..

Are no one using these models outside web?

Of course they are, but the quote "LLMs can produce any algorithm, any tech stack, any concept in seconds, minutes, or hours" is more true there than in other domains. "Any concept" is the most laughable.

There's many fields where LLMs perform better than webdev. Personal examples including embedded development and reverse engineering

I’m not sure which group you consider worst but LLMs already does both. I can only vouch for Opus 5.5. It just needs someone to tell it to do it that’s all. And I am the most anti AI person this post is targeted to.

Think that’d be worth more than 100 :)

I had it listed at this price for a few months, simeone from their company purchased it and rode 2 hours and half to come get it. Couldn't and had no reason to up the price at this stage. Indeed, this was a very good deal for them.

If you don’t mind me asking, how can a thing that causes disruption when it dies still not be considered essential?

Blind Control for the C-Suite?

They could always close off access claiming ai scraping. If reddit shut their api down now instead of back then they could have also blamed ai and no one would’ve been mad.

Why would Fdroid do that? They even package and offer some of these alternate clients in their own repository.

This site could use a bit more line height, more paragraphs, or less text overall.

They went the opposite way from what I assumed from the headline. Also they clearly thought that girl wasn’t slim enough.

What do you mean? It's exactly what I assumed

Yeah honestly anyone familiar with marketing and communications departments (and especially those in higher-ed) is used to this sort of chicanery.

This particular instance is somewhat notable in just how egregious it is, but they pick-and-choose students based solely on ethnicity for photoshoots all the time.

Hey, at least they used pictures from actual students. I remember looking at promotional material from the higher-ed place I attended and I think I spotted one picture of a familiar classroom with someone I knew, with all the other pictures being of total strangers in rooms that I had never seen. As the school was rather small, I was surprised that it was the case, until I suspected the communication department, unsatisfied with what pictures they had, reached for stock photos.

I think if they did that, it would be a lot less of an issue. Here they took a genuine photo and made it fake. It's not representative at all, and it stinks of tokenism which I hate.

I keep getting distracted by the author's use of "like". I am not a good speaker, especially when commenting on trivial internet things. Yet even I can feel the author trying too hard. Should've kept this as a first draft.

This is impressive and something a human will never bother to find. But please stop saying Strix then did, Strix then went, Srix then this, then that. My monkey brain just can’t accept an LLM being referred to as if it is a living being with autonomy. It’s not. I’ll accept when we actually see AI models.

>something a human will never find

Eh, yes it is. And something that humans find all the time.

They even call out a non-AI tool that helped.

Corrected
