Remember the old saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words"?

I don't think that's true anymore in the area of Large Language Models...

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

AI can help you build autonomous systems.

But you can’t build truly autonomous systems with AI as the engine

not yet...

@ClassicII_MrMac Yes, please!

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@karunchandhok Nah. I’m thinking a moat off the track. With alligators in it.

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@galnagli @Formula1 @samwcyo That's shocking. But not surprising. These organizations often outsource to large service provider who outsource to cheap code farms in random places. Those guys probably now write 95% of their code with a LLM without any planning and certainly with no regards for basic security.

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

Isn't it interesting that as we entered a golden age of AI, we also entered a new dark age of design. Have you seen the recent iterations of car designs? Even Apple moved to functional design over pure aesthetics. And when they want to bring the latter, it looks like glassy Tele Tubbies...

Code country is a place where developers:

- Iterate with agents in a tight feedback loop
- Steer agents with fine-grained control
- Ride horses

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@warpdotdev Good one

Switched from Cursor 2 weeks ago, results more consistant and easier when SSH-ing to remote servers.

Doing a lot of infrastructure, and it works fantastic for DevOps workflows, especially switching from shell commands to coding and back all the time.

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@levelsio It is cultural, but in a different way than it was with Google. Apple hates to experiment in public - you can see that even in their public betas.

LLMs require the public experiment. Try, fail, iterate, All in public. That goes against Apple's philosophy.

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@financedystop Well, then this should amount to 800,000 $ per month, right?

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@Rainmaker1973 Sorry, but if the original Baywatch is not on the list, I can't take it seriously...

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@Rainmaker1973 1 person out of 50 is 2%. So 50 people need to walk out, but only the left handed.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Why is it not 1?

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@PicturesFoIder You just have discovered the core principle of the division of labor...

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@grrberr Workhorse. My second favorite Laptop after the MacBook. Also, when going to the Go Kart Track, I will always use that as my goto laptop since the telemetry software only runs on Windows (only x86 - and I don't want to run rosetta).

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@MaximNawangwe @ar_nsamba @mischavdburg Of course you can. Docker is a container engine. Kubernetes. Most current clusters use containerd as runtime.

Many container images you get are from the docker registry but you can run them on any Kubernetes cluster running containerd

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@sama @elonmusk So the guy who builds starship rockets and the guy who builds Skynet are having a virtual fisticuffs in public... What could go wrong...

[Sebastian Varga @sebvarga]

@levelsio Having the same experience in Spanish. Google left Translate to rot in a drawer
