  • If I am the tankie you must be lgbtq femboy. There’s nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.

    Stereotypes aside, aren’t you using one?

    • Image processing, (e.g.: Camera enhancement, gimp, rawtherapee are full with AIs)
    • sound processing, (noise reduction, etc…)
    • text processing
      • reasoning models for programming, math
      • LLMs for grammar checking / searching when I don’t know the keyword / researching when I’m not interested that much about the topic, but I want multiple sources / getting common knowledge I don’t know yet.
    • Recently I tried 3D asset generation. Damn it gave me a perfect character model. But it’s not for work so I’m not gonna pay for it.
    • etc…

    They are useful.




  • I have heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve it. I could solve it too in 2 days or so on my own, but with Opus it was about half an hour.

    I’m not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly.

    Another example: In the app I work, there’s a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.

    It’s expensive and energy hungry for sure.






  • I don’t think it’s ADD. There’s a book called ‘thinking fast and slow’. In that book the psychologist separates the mind functions into two systems. System 1 is for intuition, no effort, fast thinking. System 2 needs effort, slow, but precise. What happens here is that simply people are trying to be efficient with their thinking and they use less system 2 which is required for reading.


  • I used claude code to migrate a small rust project from raw sql to an ORM. It was next level. In a timespan of a small bug fix I could rewrite the data model. It tested the code, it fixed the errors, I was amazed. I reviewed every change, so I could spot problems like migration would fail with prod data. I wrote a new prompt to fix that and it fixed.

    For anybody new to claude code: It’s a tui app where you can log in and write prompts for the project in the current directory. The way it works, it searches files in the project based on the prompt, and it locates the related code sections. So it gathers the context pretty well. It can suggest changes, it can suggest running CLI commands, it can read its output. It reacts to itself. You can accept or intercept and correct it anytime.

    I ran it in docker just in case.

    In summary, this is a real deal, but of course the code needs to be reviewed. Sometimes, it produces, simply put, unmaintainable code, that shouldn’t be used. Works or not, it should move.









  • By IO heavy I meant db operations or other external requests. When the request handler starts, it waits for the IO to be completed. While it waits, it can accept other requests and so on, so the bottleneck is the IO in my case, not the request parsing.

    I imagine it like this (imaginary numbers):

    • DB operation: 20ms
    • Express request handler: 1ms
    • Brhama request handler: 0.5ms

    Which case, it wouldn’t matter which http framework to use. However, there are probably other use-cases.
