- dchukThat’s a rough diluted exit I would imagine
- A lot of “traditional” industries still run on TUIs/even as400 systems, such as freight/trucking companies, banking, medical, travel (saber, etc). And many companies in those spaces who appear to have migrated away from those systems are likely just using a modern gui interface that still uses those old systems behind the scenes.
It’s generally because 1) they’re actually reliable 2) they contain custom business logic and rules that are not documented well/at all and hard to replicate 3) the people who set up all of these things have retired and no one is left who understands any of it
- I feel like a useful tool someone should build now that LLMs are so capable, is some sort of automated walk through of a pull request, where it steps a reviewer through initially the overview and they why of the changes, then step by step through each change, with commentary along the way generated by the LLM (and hopefully reviewed by the pull requester for accuracy). Then the reviewer can leave comments along the way.
I’ve always found the cognitive overhead of going through a pull request challenging, seems like the paradigm can shift now with all of the new tooling available to all of us.
- I’ll update this comment in the morning when I’m not tired and I actually have something on GitHub, but I’ve been vibe coding a rails engine (don’t worry, I know how to build things in rails, I’m just time poor with a job and kids) that is a sophisticated rss feed subscription engine. Has niceties like adaptive polling based on posting frequency, user managed auto scraping capabilities if the feed doesn’t provide the full content, and all sorts of other nice features. I have a couple other project ideas that are based on a foundation of ingesting rss content at scale so I’ve been meaning to build this for years, and AI coding tools finally make this possible because otherwise this would have taken me months
- So how will this/will this be in place at all on an android device that is using AOSP without any of the play services?
- Would this work with Ruby on Rails apps that use erb templates? Or does it have to work with JavaScript frameworks on the front end?
- In reading the docs, it doesn't look like the MCP server supports the Ask Sourcebot capability. Is that correct or am I missing something in the docs? Is that planned to be added?
- I’ll admit this looks comprehensive, but man oh man does this seem complicated and over doing it
- Your build guide link is a 404
- That’s the exact point?
- Well done site. One important nit pick: never use charts that don’t start from 0 on the y axis. I was looking at a stock that had a yoy growth rate reduction of 6% (from 39 to 33 for each respective yoy period), and the chart showed an aggressive down to the right trend line because the y axis started at 33% instead of 0%.
Charts like that show more detail sure, but everyone freaks out in reaction to them. Always zero out your graphs.
- Who on earth knows what 14g of alcohol is in terms of visiting a bar?
- Terrible time to go to Disney, late March early April is spring break for basically the whole country
- While I don’t disagree that Microsoft isn’t necessarily the most innovative, Apple is absolutely the most successful example of “first mover advantage” not actually being an advantage, and second movers can often be the actual winners. Literally every product they have launched in the last few decades has had the category already defined, they just came in with so much more polish and elegance (and sharp marketing) that they just repeatedly obliterate and take over the category as if they invented it.
I’ll never forget when they dedicated a minute or two in a keynote a few years ago to how they improved the volume indicator visual overlay in iOS to be less obtrusive like they talked to god himself to figure this out, when Android had that style for years…it was brilliant marketing.
I say all of this as a die hard Apple guy.
- I’ve been tinkering with Marimo, it’s pretty sweet (and you can use cursor or other AI IDEs pretty easily with it).
On running notebooks as scripts: I can’t find in the docs what happens if you have plotting and other notebook oriented code? Like I’m using pygwalker to explore data through transformation steps, and end with saving to csv. If I just run the notebook as a script, is all of the plotting automatically skipped?
- I’ll never understand how any UI projects don’t include an actual screenshot of their project as the first thing on their landing page. It seems so obvious.
- Are you chatting with it directly or using it with a coding tool or IDE?
- I can’t pronounce two of the four words in that domain, that’s impressive.
- You do know sometimes business people talk with lawyers about business topics right? There are business conversations sensitive enough to not be recorded and transcribed by some cloud service that could be breached.
- Being able to have windows of the same app assigned to different spaces would be the big unlock for me to able to use your app. Not only do I do things like separate work and personal Chrome profiles (with a window open for each), frequently I'll have a Chrome window open for a specific project with tabs just for that project, so I can switch fully into that context when I want to work on something. I also frequently have sensitive tabs open that I group into a window so I don't risk oversharing something when on a Zoom call for example as I flip through my tabs.
