@Lensflare but in that case, he is not a murderer. An alleged one :P It's a dilemma. We need a court! He deserves a fair trial!

I switched also many times. Python is my favourite but actually kinda my last also. For a long time, companies couldn't find the right type dev and gave devs the opportunity within their organisation. But also something that helped, I was in outsource for a long time and learning all kinds of stuff there making me always match something of the job opportunity.

Statistics regarding my typing from a few days ago: https://static.molodetz.nl/tikker_r...

It's really cool to have such data from a whole year long. It also shows on the page how long the statistics query took with so many records in a sqlite database :P

@YourMom I have 37930787 records in a sqlite table that i use full time every day! :) It's my keylogger :P How sick is that huh? 37930787/3 is the amount of keys i typed.

@12bitfloat how can you react so fast with half of notifications death? YOu have your own tool? :P

@12bitfloat claude is probably the only one worth the 100,- or more. Can't say that for any of the other llm's.

I think it's an amazing idea.

@AlgoRythm how can you expect that. The drivers are the biggest issue in rewriting an OS. Those aren't there. Also, there is already a Rust OS. But of course, like always, you can only run it in some VM and it's worthless.

Regarding rewriting the linux tools: nobody works on them, they were just doing their thing, they're just fine. No reason to rewrite in any way. The output of those applications are used in many applications and such, you won't even want to risk a different output. But there, those people risk it all. It's just unprofessional idea.

I was more a netbeans user. But yeah, that it still exists.

@Liebranca computerphile also says that :)

Well, the product is stupid, but maybe less stupid than you think. You know that women have a lot smaller front pockets in jeans right? We can't fit a phone there. That's why it goes in the back. This would be a solution to that problem.

For some reason i don't like it for the back-end either. I do prefer python. But what is the actual difference. The JS version would perform better also. But python frameworks are quite matured and do not have much crazy changes over time unlike the JS shit. A backend should last, and JS does not last at all. My minimal 3rd party libraries approach is doing so well for me. I learn a lot of stuff. In the end, the maintaince is actually less.

@spongessuck I don't use it much, but IIRC my settings get even synced over dem internet? You can login somewhere.

@donkulator that's kinda how software development starts. I worked (when young) for a company that did professional Microsoft access development. All those customers did find out that their excel files were getting out of control and then went looking for the only way they knew (microsoft access) to get software in :).

While it was quite bad for my ego to work with microsoft access, that company actually did deliver quality software. It programmed the tab-stops and stuff, that you can use tab in a logical order of elements. They finished software top notch. And regarding big databases (even one huge one), we used MS SQL Sever as backend for the access frontend giving it unlimited power. While it's a bit a abuse, I've seen quality software been written.

I understand everything you say.

The older messages you want to keep, make summaries of them. Summaries of summaries :P So just compressing.

But on how much documents are you talking? Consider gpt-4.1-nano or something, that has 1 million tokens context window, i flatout cheap, summarizes well imho.

@Lensflare totally agree. It would've been different if the recruiters actually did invest some time in the domain knowledge. But noooo.

But yeah, true. I needed to find a very specific job with specific requirements for a guy with health issues. I needed special places where he could work., Smashed all details into ai (perplexity) and found jobs!

Do you mean retoortycoon? https://retoortycoon.app.molodetz.nl/...

I restarted them server :) The day / night modes go kinda fast tho.

Edit: i have 2.600.000.000 :P

So, I have more than ten thousand messages recorded with grok-code-fast-1. Now, I will use that data to finetune a gpt-4.1 model. I wonder what the result will be. WIll i get a gpt-4.1 model that will work perfectly with my software and does actually advanced stuff because it had so much example responses from a heavier model? Would be nice.

@AalbatrossGuy No! Snek never down! :)

EDIT: molodetz.online doesn't exist anymore. It's now only https://snek.molodetz.nl, what most people used. The molodetz.online address was quite expensive. Bastards, I remember well that i got it for free with a domain name and I could not even click it away. Then, they try to invoice me 60 euro's for renewal. I consider this a scam activity.

@YourMom Have you heard about his cat?

Hmm, it's just an AI bot like the others? Also, does it has build tooling like claude code or gemini?

@Liebranca still it can massage your brain for ever. So many ways to choose. But the grafting interpreter book kinda showed me that there are some ways just figured out. Did kick the creativity a bit.

So I did look it up as well, and there was my biggest enemy, the O(1) notation. That fucker. I don't trust him.

Haha. Stupid cat. Doesn't happen to the superior doggo. But I know that you consider dem traitors :P

But yeah, claude code is top notch. It does not really have competition. Retoor code for example works better than Gemini, how sick is that :P Retoor code also works better than Roocode.

Claude code? That's for noobs. I use retoor code https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview....

SInce I made it myself I can live with my creatures :P

Hmm, the code quality, it's quite alright if you do it all at once, having everything fresh in mind. Just like a human actually.

But LLM's do not program very smart indeed. Much duplication and so on. Would not say it's that ugly, it's just not very convenient. But I have ways how to get it working very structured avoiding certain issues. I enforce certain way of working and stuff.

Thanks to AI, my private project has more than 500 tests. Woei! Sadly, they mock too much imho. What do they actually still test.

And what about: had to do it myself -> sure, but it actually did make it easier. I actually learn from the LLM's. Fact is, that LLM's take a lot of practice before they become a good friend. I have loads of free time and have the privilege to have worked a lot with it. There are so much caveats.

The ultimate art at the end its: putting the dots on the `i` using a LLM. Like ciurgical precission but with that big rock of an LLM. There are many tips i can give you on Snek. It will prevent you to waste a lot of time and I spent myself a lot of time (that most people don't have) to learn it. I'm still learning every day. I feel bed for my friends who are just doing their day to day job and develop so slowly. I can blast four of them away easily in performane on my own. EASY. But I have my own devbot: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview... that does exactly what i instruct it, that was the art, but automated it. I can now do very lazy vibes while it delivers precision work.

Yes, i promote perplexity 24/7.

First of all, you can choose model.

Second of all, git is very state depended in what you are about to do wit hit, so, a script to automate it, would have a lot of business logic that even with an LLM is quite a lot of work because you have to describe them all. So actually, it's only useful if you already are an expert on the subject often.

But I recently repaired a network configuration that was beyond dead of a linux machine by first:

- investigation script based on files (couldn't use tools)

- give it the results

- asked him for the past scripts

And that worked amazing.

But now, imagine if i want to make something openrouter api related. I can ask it to do that using the deepsearch mode, because it will find online what the correct model names are and what the costs are from the model. Something you normally have to search and implement by hand. This is like a hour work for free for nothing.

@antigermanist yeah, i've watched, they're called the hidden employees or ghost employees right? Two documentaries i watched.

But my biggest problem is: why is AI so cheap? It's literally worth money. But they're idiots. They're competing eachother to bankrupty instead of making something nice where people actually want to pay for. Take claude, expensive? It's literally worth 50 times that if you know how to use it. EASY. But nooo, they're making losses because the others do that.

Perplexity is a serious part of my life, free for everyone who has paypal. That product is so good, if your marketing can't sell THAT.. WTF....

But being fair - perplexity is just a very expensive product to maintain. It's no joke. YOu have to pay for the searches and stuff. I got 600 deepsearches credit per day. I have no idea if it's literally possible to do that in a day. The labs functionallity is also crazy.

Perplexity could've been made by me, it's a kind of Snek. WHAT IS IT ? :P

@YourMom I also did pascal first, pure by not having a c compiler. I did not like pascal. I do agree that pointers are not hard at all but still you have two hours lection purely on pointers in youtube. I think, if you really understand, 10 minutes is enough. IF you can talk two hours about it, you don't understand it alright yourself i guess.

But i consider C programming more discipline related that skill related. Like there are amazing python devs, but still they just can't do C while they're able to make great applications. And take all that poor rust devs for example :( Working on a machine fully working in C with a uptime of 300 days without performance issues :( C bad!
