Counterintuitively, I feel like this will not be super useful, at least for me. My bottleneck is MY ability to parse and understand LLM-generated code. The agent can code a lot faster than I can read and understand its output.

Spend time building a test harness and evaluations of whether the solution meets the requirements. Then you don't need to look at the code because those other pieces will bring the necessary guarantees and trust.

I still don't get why Claude is so expensive.

Because we all prefer it over Gemini and Codex. Anthropic knows that and needs to get as much out of it as possible while they can. Not saying the others will catch up soon. But at some point other models will be as capable as Opus and Sonnet are now, and then it's easier to let price guide the choice of provider.

OpenAI offers that, or at least used to. You can batch all your inference and get much lower prices.

Still do. Great for workloads where it's okay to bundle a bunch of requests and wait some hours (up to 24h, usually done faster) for all of them to complete.

Rammstein is a band. Ramstein is the most important US military bases in Europe. I guess you meant the latter?

Thank you, was confused there for a second XD

As a hobby I suppose. There's a very real chance there won't be enough paid work available for that

You’re ignoring Jevons paradox. Everyone, both people and companies, will be making exponentially more software with these tools. Software that both needs to get created, debugged and updated to realize the intention of it. That’s what our time will be spent on as programmers.

> When you’re interacting with Google, everything you do is going into a log somewhere to be monetized.

I've got a bridge to sell you if you think Apple isn't doing the exact same thing. What do you think they are doing with all their focus on their ad business?

airspresso · a month ago
Apple has a solid hardware business and massive profits from their App Store tax, they are not dependent on ad business in the way Google is. Very different incentives.

Why not invest in a vast 24/7 high frequency electric bus network instead of the big infrastructure costs of trains?
airspresso · a month ago
Sounds neat but what kind of range limits would that impose on each trip? Switching from one means of transportation to another, even if both are buses, increases the total travel time significantly. Not to mention all the hassle involved for passengers.

You can’t. Every attempt at privatizing rail is a failure with worse performance, higher prices, and an inevitable level of special treatment by the state due to the monopolistic utility-like nature of rail infrastructure. Not everything needs to or should be privatized.

This 100%. It should be seen as critical infrastructure because of everything it can enable when run well.

Claude is pretty good at totally disregarding most of what’s in your CLAUDE.md, so I’m not optimistic. For example a project I work on gives it specific scripts to run when it runs automated tests, because the project is set up in a way that requires some special things to happen before tests will work correctly. I’ve never once seen it actually call those scripts on the first try. It always tries to run them using the typical command that doesn’t work with our setup, and I have to remind it the what correct thing to run is.
airspresso · 3 months ago
Sounds like you're fighting the weights. What would it take to align the setup with what the LLM expects?
