To be honest you don't need to know the lower level things. It's just removing the need to remember the occasional boilerplate.

If I need to parse a file I can just chuck it a couple lines, ask it to do it with a recommended library and get the output in 15 minutes total assuming I don't have a library in mind and have to find one I like.

Of course verification is still needed but I'd need to verify it even if I wrote it myself anyway, same for optimization. I'd even argue it's better since it's someone else's code so I'm more judgemental.

The issue comes when you start trying to do complex stuff with LLMs since you then tend to halfass the analysis part and get led down the development path the LLM chose, get a mish mash of the AIs codestyle and yours from the constant fixes and it becomes a mess. You can get things implemented quickly like that, which is cool, but it feels like it inevitably becomes spaghetti code and sometimes you can't even rewrite it easily since it used something that works but you don't entirely understand.
Apparently from what I've read, universities are already starting to see this. More and more students are incapable of acquiring knowledge from books. Once they reach a point where the information they need cannot be found in ChatGPT or YouTube videos they're stuck.

I recently switched our Python projects to uv and it love it. It just does everything and is really fast (this just cannot be underestimated in what it means for your workflow).

I've tried almost every Python packaging solution under the sun in the past 15 years but they all had their problems. Finally I just stuck with pip/pip-tools and plain venv's but strung together with a complicated Makefile to optimize the entire workflow for iteration speed (rebuilding .txt files when .in requirements changes, rebuilding venv if requirements change, etc). I've been able to reduce it to basically one Make target calling uv to do it all.
> It just seems the most ridiculous thing to warn people about, as if somehow "elderly people" can't cross the road

I don't understand this mindset. Do people not walk where you live, or do you not have elderly care homes? I've been to _multiple_ countries and nearly all of them with some uniform signage standard warn motorists about elderly and children crossing.
Gotta be paranoid. :D
The difference between them is significant, I have both. Also try SXMo DE.
it's real, (but a reply on the forum suggests) Cursor has a few modes for chat, and it looks like he wasn't in the "agent" chat pane, but in the interactive, inline chat thingy? The suggestion is that this mode is limited to the size of what it can look at, probably a few lines around the caret?

Thus, speculating, a limit on context or a prompt that says something like "... you will only look at a small portion of the code that the user is concerned about and not look at the whole file and address your response to this..."

Other replies in the forum are basically "go RTFM and do the tutorial"!
If they never made any plan about how modules are installed and there is no official way… i doubt they made a plan about uv.
Those arguments all sound like "We nearly have a monoculture so let's embrace the monoculture and give up". The downward curve needs to be counter-acted, not accelerated.

Quite a few people would donate for Firefox development, but they can't donate to Mozilla because Mozilla spends the money on other stuff. Until now, as Google's lapdog, Mozilla didn't need donations, so that wasn't a problem (for Mozilla, it did however result in firefox getting 2.62% market share).
Except when they don’t. I’m debugging something right now that runs fine under debugging conditions and crashes with a segfault in real life. It’s not randomized memory (messed with that), it’s likely some race where the timing is changed by the debugger.
Similar to the pre-COVID coding bootcamps and crash-courses we’ll likely just end up with an even larger cohort of junior engineers who have a hard time growing their career because of the expectations they were given. This is a shame but still, if such a person has the wherewithal to learn, the resources to do so are more abundant and accessible than they’ve ever been. Even the LLM can be used to explain instead of answer.

LinkedIn is awash with posts about being a ‘product engineer’ and ‘vibe coding’ and building a $10m startup over a weekend with Claude 3.5 and a second trimester foetus as a cofounder, and the likely end result there is simply just another collection of startups whose founding team struggles to execute beyond that initial AI prototyping stage. They’ll mistake their prompting for actual experience not realising just how many assumptions the LLM will make on their behalf.

Won’t be long before we see the AI startup equivalent of a rug-pull there.
> you realize that UI has never, ever changed - it is backwards compatible back to, well, stone age of computers. It is quirky, but once you learn it, you're done for life

True power users could customize to remove the quirks and also be set for life, but at a better level of ergonomics. Or they could even use the best customization from one of those gray beards who cared about ergonomics more ever back in the day

Thank you very much! I appreciate talking with you in the other thread! I told the repo owner not to worry about "spamming" our service. We are happy to support as many requests as people can throw at us.

Internally, when it comes to API requests, we are doing our best to reach an "unlimited" level of API requests. On the operational side, we are just getting started. The distributed network of a thousand servers we operate only runs a handful of diagnostic tests (ping, traceroute, etc.).

We have a lot of plans, and I hope you will find us providing more fun stuff as we continue to grow!

The current KVM integration is actually more formally an integration for libvirt and the virsh command-line tool.

If your hypervisor is supported by libvirt, you should already be able to use it in XPipe.

If it does not support libvirt, then I guess this would need a separate integration. But I would have to look into that first as I have never used these tools you listed.
Honestly, I think we already see that in wider society, where mental arithmetic has more or less disappeared. This is in general fine ofc, but it makes it much harder to check the output of a machine if you can't do approximate calculations in your head.

The rebuild vs fix problem depends a lot on the state of the codebase and on the inherent complexity of what the system actually does.
Ok, thank you for the explanation.

I realized that the extension provides a HTTP API to DuckDB. Is this perhaps to become the official way to use DuckDB through HTTP? For me this is much more interesting than one particular UI.

I went looking and found that there's community extension of similar functionality: https://duckdb.org/community_extensions/extensions/httpserve...

Official, supported HTTP API with stable schema versioning would be a nice addition.

I am from the generation whose only options on the table were RTFM and/or read the source code. Your blend of comment was also directed at the likes of Google and StackOverflow. Apparently SO is not a problem anymore, but chatbots are.

Japanese is far worse than what you describe as far as knowing what anyone means is concerned. Japanese often omits a noun/pronoun entirely and the verb gives no hint as to what it is. In English, we have verb conjugations like “I am”, “he is”, “they are”. In Japanese the same verb is used no matter the subject. Also, “to be” is not even a verb in Japanese, and you just say the thing followed by an end of sentence particle (if you even use that). If you want to say “I am fine”, you simply say “genki (desu/da)” If you want to say someone else is fine and there is sufficient context to indicate the subject, you also just say “genki (desu/da)”.

It is even worse than what I described so far since if the topic of conversation is people’s health, someone might say “Alisu wa” to ask how Alice is and another person would reply “genki (desu/da)” to mean “Alice is well”. “Alisu wa” is just the subject. It is in that context saying “[Is] Alice [well]?”, while only saying the subject. The “wa” part marks it as a subject/topic. English has only a vestigial concept of subject forms of words in I/he/she/they/we. Japanese has much stronger concept of a word that is a subject by appending “wa” to the end of it (or “ga”, but that is a rabbit hole). Thus “Alisu wa” alone is really just saying a subject. In any case, if you are not paying attention, you might mistake the speaker as claiming to be well rather than the speaker claiming someone else is well.

Machine translation often processes text sentence by sentence. That is incapable of determining the subject in a multitude of Japanese sentences since the information needed to determine a subject is in a prior sentence spoken by another person. The machine translator thus must guess and it is often wrong. You will have better luck if you dump text into a high end LLM and ask it to translate since then it will consider prior sentences and have some idea of what each subsequent sentence actually means.

Also, Japanese does not really have more specific pronouns for he and she. Like Chinese, they only have 1 third person pronoun “kare” (he/she/it). In recent years (around the past 160 years from what I have read), it has become popular to use it mainly for males, while the word “kanojo” (girl) is used in its place for females. However, “kanojo” is not a true pronoun and is literally the noun girl. At least, whenever I read “kanojo”, I read girl, not “she”. I suspect machine translators would also read it that way, as it is what is really being said.

That said, I have studied a little Japanese, although I am far from an expert. I replied mainly because your understanding of the translation issue differs strongly from reality. I hope this reply is helpful.

> actually mastering those skills may be wasted time?

this question is, i’m pretty sure it is safe to assume, the absolute bane of every maths teacher’s existence.

if i don’t learn and master the fundamentals, i cannot learn and master more advanced concepts.

which means no fluid dynamics for me when i get to university because “what’s the point of learning algebra, i’m never gonna use it in real life” (i mean, i flunked fluid dynamics but it was because i was out drinking all the time).

i still remember how to calculate compound interest. do i need to know how to calculate compound interest today? no. did i need to learn and master it as an application of accumulation functions? absolutely.

just because i don’t need to apply something i learned to master before doesn’t mean i didn’t need to learn and master it in order to learn and master something else later.

mastery is a cumulative process in my experience. skipping out on it with early stuff makes it much harder to master later stuff.

yes.

The zenith of bad architecture. For people confident enough to use a helper (ai, framework, code generator) but not confident enough to independently plan large original applications it will always be cheaper to start over every time than maintain software at scale, but that doesn’t make it cheap.
> To me, peak usability was 25 years ago, when most applications had a toolbar and a menu that followed a standard pattern.

Some things were good, but there were lots of problems too like features hidden behind right-clicks, not knowing if you had to double or single click, being required to read help/manuals to find features, too much jargon and technical language, and overuse of modals.

UIs have got incrementally better in lots of ways that really add up that I don't see people mention e.g. right-clicking and double-clicking is avoided, help is integrated into the UI where you need it, inline editing vs modals, options to edit an object appear next to it (locality) rather than you having to hunt in a menu, less technical jargon where appropriate, better onboarding, better undo/redo/autosave (which avoids clunky confirmation modals).
