@sinclairinat0r I have a lot of respect for Anders given what he has achieved but also how clearly he talks about the subject with such pragmatism. Young developers should learn from his attitude.

@m_zokov Searching through documents on the fly wastes tokens and takes time.
RAG is an optimisation pipeline that happens prior to a user searching for stuff (text, semantic or ideally both). Once you have a shortlist of matches you can then throw those at the LLM for a deep dive.

@oldstackjournal ls -la ~ check local configs
top/atop etc - see what’s running

@dhh My daughter showed me the video, "Ah, that's just AI, baby" 😆

@Surendar__05 Looks cooler in the coffee shop

Only recently, I started asking Opus 5.5. to review the specs it created. It seems to take at least 5 iterations to stop finding issues with it's own creation and corrections. Each review is with a fresh context. What am I doing wrong?

@eloffd Well done for taking those shots for the purpose of discussion

@0xrwu Are you running multiple agents at the same time? How are you running those valuable-but-bulky tests in parallel with running out of cpu and or memory? Genuinely interested.

@nbevans JSONC ftw

@fjzeit “You need to look at the code” 😆

[Russ Freeman 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @RustyF]

@LondonJazzBass @dhh I totally agree with that now but at the current rate of model improvement this may not be the case in a year or so.
If the software remains performant and quick to change, who will care what the code looks like?

@mernit @foxyjackfox My head would be load-bearing a hammer if I tried that stunt

@trq212 I had completely forgotten about plan mode 😬

[Russ Freeman 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @RustyF]

Is there a realistic alternative to a 5x Claude Max plan that’s less than £90/month? I mean that is actually as good as Opus 5?

@omervk @rickasaurus What happened?

@_nonfigurativ_ Yes but thank god I don’t get paid by the crimp

@nbevans Sounds like it was trained on truffle risotto

[Russ Freeman 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @RustyF]

@nbevans I think we will look back at current LLMs as quaint attempts at AGI
