For me it’s not the logistics, for me it’s the catalogue. They have so many ridiculously niche items that I want that would be impossible to buy from a local store

What are the minimum Mac requirements?

When someone books over their meeting i don’t understand why people don’t just decline the meeting with a note saying “this clashes with a meeting already in my diary”. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this and puts the onus back on the person to find a bigger time

Welll yeh until a Hargrove fails on your self hosted server

Yes 100%. I see this all the time. You’re asking about a product and the LLM will cite a source from a competitor where the competitor will review the source and list a few positives about the product but lots of negatives. Then the LLM uses them in the response. So cheeky

Is the problem that the response sounds like AI? Or the response is incorrect? Or too verbose? Or a mix of all three or something else?

What if the response was perfect and sounded exactly like your colleague. Would you care if it was AI generated then?

I think there could be a world where a colleague could just ask its (finely tuned) AI tool of choice to respond for it and colleagues would hardly notice as the output would be so good!

I can’t help but think that that world would be so much more productive as we would spend less time in slack answering messages and more time doing more important work.

However there are two very important things that need to be in place for this to happen: - colleagues have to have their AI tool know all of the their context on their projects….etc and and in-depth understanding of how they write - colleagues must review (and tweak if necessary) the output

My guess is that the problems you are seeing is that your colleagues are failing on one or both of these points

I guess compatibility hell is why Linux will never go mainstream. Users like their favourite apps just working on their favourite OS.

It’s not a great experience if only some apps on supported on your favourite Linux distro while others aren’t.

Could you not be extremely clear and state which distros are supported and make it clear that it may work on others but that they are untested

I personally don’t think there is anything wrong with this. To the critiques I would say; this is the world we live in now. There are LLMs capable of essentially perfect writing skills. We need to get used to seeing a lot more content either written by or finished by LLMs.

The best practise for writing docs with LLMs in my opinion, which you have done, is to write as much as you can first then feed that into an LLM for context, and then work with the LLM to finalise it. Maybe half the time is spent writing and half the time is spent going back and forward polishing the doc.

Finally I think it’s important to give the LLM very clear writing guidelines based on your own writing style. I did this by feeding Claude around 20 of my handwritten docs and asked it to analyse my writing style and then add thy to its Claude.md. After a free round of iterations you can get great results!

I’m just curious, why do you think it should be open source. It’s a private company. The source code is their IP

Same for me. I’m not an engineer (but worked with them for 2 decades) and AI has been amazing for me self hosting.

For example I could never setup Traefik correctly because I just found it too complicated. Now I have Claude I finally got it setup just the way I want it - the ROI on my Claude subscription has been off the scale!

The obvious downside is that I might not really know what exactly I’m implementing and why. I do read all the explanations that Claude gives but it’s hard to retain this information. So there are pros and cons to relying on AI for this kind of stuff I suppose

I find ChatGPT so infuriating the way it always agrees with everything you say. The product is optimised for engagement so it wants its users to be delighted

Dam this is so accurate. As a project manager turned product manager this is so true. You need to estimate a project based on the “pedigree” of your engineers

I’m not an engineer and now I realise why I’ve been struggling getting OpenClaw setup in docker. I just can’t get it to work. Makes sense that it needs access to the underlying OS

Thanks you. Not sure what an acronym was needed for that
