> I can run and test the code at my discretion, whereas the AI model can't.

It sounds like you know what the problem with your AI workflow is? Have you tried using an agent? (sorry somewhat snarky but… come on)


Yeah, you're right, and the snark might be warranted. I should consider it the same as my stupid (but cute) robot vacuum cleaner that goes at random directions but gets the job done.

The thing that differentiates LLM's from my stupid but cute vacuum cleaner, is that the (at least OpenAI's) AI model is cocksure and wrong, which is infinitely more infuriating than being a bit clueless and wrong.


I've been trying to solve this by wrapping the generation in a LangGraph loop. The hope was that an agent could catch the errors, but it seems to just compound the problem. You end up paying for ten API calls where the model confidently doubles down on the mistake, which gets expensive very quickly for no real gain.

Give Cluade Code a go. It still makes a lot stupid mistakes, but its a vastly different experience from pasting back and forth with chat gpt.

There's no free trial or anything?

You can play with the model for free in chat... but if $20 for a coding agent isn't effectively free for use case it might not be the right tool for you.

ETA: I've probably gotten 10k worth of junior dev time out of it this month.


The chat is limited and doesn't let you use the latest model. if that's representative of the answers I would get by paying, it doesn't seem worth it.

Im not crazy about signing up for a subscription service, it depends on you remembering to cancel and not have a headache when you do cancel.


It was there a few (<5? I think?) minutes after the Anthropic post went out. If you look at Windsurf's web traffic it looks like they did a thing (model is an int) to make it so the IDE doesn't need to update to get new models.


you can’t tell if someone is American or Chinese by looking at their name

I actually claim something even stronger, which is it’s what’s in your heart that really determines if you’re American :)


Cute but the US president is currently on a mass deportation campaign, so it appears what's in peoples' hearts doesn't really matter.


The PRC espionage system doesn't care what passport you have or even where you are born. They have a broader and more ethnic-focus definition.


Honestly? They might be.

It's quoting text published before 2025.


> I live in California

Car insurance companies in CA actually lose money on the state, if that makes you feel better: https://money.com/car-insurance-policies-problems-california...

There are laws that prevent them from charging enough to even break-even on the policies.


I don’t understand this article! PC motherboards with 10GbE ports have existed for years in premium offerings? Is this notably cheaper than the current chip they use?

pcpartpicker shows ~89 such boards, with mid-high level pricing: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c0=2x10000-2x...


The article shows an add-in board and says it's $10.

If that's retail price, it's not much more than a 1G add-in nic. That gives it potential for mass adoption.

Realtek also makes some low cost 10g and 2.5g/10g switch chips that are reasonable cost if you shop on aliexpress.

Having another vendor should help drive down retail pricing as well.


The article contradicts itself. The text says that the chip will be sold for $10. The headline says the board will be sold for $10.

Generally editors write headlines while the journalist writes the text, so when they conflict, the headline is usually wrong.

A $10 retail price for a board would be a big deal.

A $10 wholesale price for a chip is not news.


With such a low price point, it will creep into regular, non-prosumer hardware.


But $10 is not a cheap price point - if it's a component on a motherboard, it really needs to be sub 25 cents in 10k volume orders before motherboard manufacturers start shoving it into mid level boards just to have one more bullet point on the spec sheet of a motherboard which sells for $50.


The current 1G components are already 4x-8x that cost in volume. Much like 100M never seemed to quite go away for decades (and still hasn't in certain areas), this doesn't need to hit the bottom barrel to still hit cheap motherboards. Especially for people buying by components, many "entry level" A620 motherboards launched 2 years ago already had 2.5G NICs.

It may be a bit longer before random PCs at Walmart have 10G more often than not but it won't be long at all for "mid range" motherboards you're talking about.


Most of my flights (within the USA) are on ERJ-175. I even switched airlines midway through the year and this was still true. I only see Airbus and Boeing for transcontinental flights.


> in English - a word is a word, and the individual letters that it's composed of are almost always pronounced the same way

Are you sure about that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti


Posted up above, here's a collection of English pronunciation rules that English speakers have internalized so well they can't generally explain them: https://www.zompist.com/spell.html

"Ghoti" is mentioned a few times there, but basically "fish" is a nonsensical pronunciation that breaks several rules. There's a reason (well, a few reasons) why if you ask English speakers how to pronounce "ghoti" and they've never seen it before, they'll probably all guess some variation of "go-tee" or "go-tie".


That's such a dumb example because it claims to follow english rules for those letters while ignoring the actual rules. It makes a somewhat humorous joke, but people pretending that it means anything linguistically are either ignorant or intentionally trying to confuse people.


shure!


reads like it would be pronounced with an aspirated -s- not sh.


Wait why not have both esc x3 and shift x3 work? Any of these are "weird" keypresses right?


The concern with Esc is that if you hit more than 3 times the user will be stuck on the page. The first 3 presses would trigger the redirect, the 4th press would be intercepted by the browser and stop the page load.
