I’ve had good experience coding with it. In a bit of an ironical twist I now find Gemini a much better coder and Claude a much better search engine.

Interesting. I guess I’ll have to go with the m5. On one hand it feels bad to buy older generation hardware. But then. It’s already so much faster than what I have…

I am due to an upgrade (still using the 2019 intel). However I am torn between a M5 Pro with 48 Gigs of ram or waiting for M6 pro. I’d really like to run local models for once.

I am doing a lot of LLM writing and porting; and am still calling it slop. Even though it saves me a bunch of time at work and in hobby coding.

To me the main difference is that there is no staging (so no stashing needed), and conflicts are first class citizens. In practice this means that you can usually halt your work halfway, switch a commit, rebase everything onto head and continue working even if one of the branches off your commit has conflicts. In git you would have to resolve those before the rebase can finish.

Since conflict resolution these days mostly boils down to “hey LLM, resolve conflicts” this is much nicer.

Also jj tracks every change to the repo so undo works much better and is more readable than reflog

TIL that Broadcom is a 1.6T company.

In a way it’s sad that AI came in the age where a lot of us are jaded because the internet which we built has become a place for gambling and scamming. I remember when a new language or framework was met with excitement. Today I hear (and am a source of) mostly criticism.

Yeah. If you can’t do something that’s fine. I draw as a hobby but I suck at it. When I see some of the pre-post autotune performances I can’t feel that people are just feeling entitled to a paycheck.

It does right? On the other hand I don’t believe that AI will reach the hypothetical perfection. Not in the state it is in now.

To me a lot of similar games are fun for 5 minutes. But they become rote after a couple of hours. One could say that it’s nice to have spent a few hours having fun, others would get a feeling of regret.

If the AI gets to the hypothetical perfection we will share precisely none of experiences.

Teachers get paid?

Trainers, coaches, therapists… yes.

Am not. Recently I started reading more classic literature and realized just how much my comprehension is lacking, even after working in English exclusively for years.

This is actually useful. I didn’t know that generic “you” meant “one”. I always interpreted it as “you the reader” and felt desperate once a week when reading articles like these.

Would be nice if articles defined the requirements to be a “you”.
