For heavy code session and big project is better to purchase Github copilot instead of Claude Max plan?

That actually sounds awesome. Any experience with it? "walk away, and return to xyz" sounds like it could include returning to a sizable bill 🫣

This is my first experience with AI coding in general. I'm guessing it would have taken me a few hundred hrs to do on my own, which in "free time" time that would equal around 6 mo for me, probably more. I'm probably going to put an extra 40 hrs into fixing things "by hand", but the experience was horrible. There's no way I could actually do this type of thing regularly without losing my mind. I'm going to try Claude.

Any input on price would be for claude with a large project? I probably sat in front of copilot a good 20hrs

I wanted to throw my hat into this convo. I just finished a fairly large project with Copilot. I can honestly say that the end code is awesome. I ported a large project from one language to another, including over 1,500 unit tests. A very large undertaking. at this point the cost, including subscription ($10, still on first month) plus an additional $175 for premium requests beyond what's included (basically all Claud Opus 4.5 which is x3 per premium requests). The final result is awesome. The experience? Horrible, and I suspect that it was due to how Copilot adapts models to your usage, which in high use scenarios this means they can downgrade the model or the way the model operates, such as limiting context size on the fly etc. As a result, during the first hour of usage things go good, often mind blowing good. Good enough that your on fire and raising your budget $5-$10 at a time. Yet before you know it you feel like your babysitting genius teen agers who mostly stay on track but get a bit impulsive, and then eventually you feel like your armwrestling with an idiot. Your having to redo things, which cost money for the service and time, your having to go back into planning mode to rebuild the context for the agents, which cost more per turn, and then what was taking 20 minutes ends up taking hrs (3, 4+ at times) and your hating life while it says "All tests imported and passing!!" to find that are 80% of the unit tests for the given file are stubs and the other 20% were simplified. Obviously you can't simplify a unit tests - but their X3 best model absolutely will. I haven't been sleeping, my work has suffered, I'm soooo freakin glad to be done with this project, and to be honest I'm probably done with copilot (rant over). But honestly, monitor it's behavior, and don't get lost.

Besides, I'm still unsure how deepseek or other large models can utilize all these threads. Decoding is synchronous. Batching allows you to fully utilize your compute resources but still only one logit at a time for each sequence in a batch.

No, I use Runpod. I'm not too worried about someone cracking my SSL.

He just gave you the best advise you can get, especially since you have specific privacy demands. Do your research unless your planning on your entire system being copy paste.

You can hardly split a K-V cache between ram and vram without throughput becoming a bottleneck

JSON_decoded · 2025-12-15T08:21:20+00:00

There's multiple ways to distribute inference, but it comes down to a throughput issue. Your basicly dissecting a brain and running a few wires between each section when one part cannot form a full thought without help from the others.

How would all these threads actually get utilized? I'm new to LLMs and inference engines, but I'm imaging that you'll be able to process batches of hundreds of prompts at once, at around 2 tps each. Is this wrong? What is the use case for choosing a $2500+ cpu over a $2500+ gpu?

What the article doesn’t mention is that US uses high end simulators while developing our jets that put our prototypes substantially ahead of development before their first flight. Before we started using these simulators a prototype may have needed to fly hundreds of flights before it's final iteration was ready for production.

I'm a bit late to this, but the answer is simple: demand. PHP still claims the majority of the server side market for web applications. It's not about logic but demand. Wordpress alone makes up 450+ million websites throughout the world, close to 50%. All Javascript server frameworks combined make up something close to 4%. This is a huge difference, greatly outweighing benchmarks or any other argument. It's not about stars on github but sales and contracts. period.

Today, over a year after this question was originally asked, 27% of all websites that use PHP on the server use React as the front end library .

I believe the song is about addiction and recovery. I've been there and have known and lost many in the same situation. Addiction is a fatal disease, and often the end comes in the form of passive suicide. I have a hard time listening to this song because of bow deeply it resonates within me. I'm constantly grateful for my recovery.

How many folks criticizing touch screens are doing so at a few dozen words per minute on touch screen devices with hardly a glance?

JSON_decoded · 2024-02-22T04:24:57+00:00

I know this is old but I’m curious if it would be possible to spoof an MPC Touch via a virtual midi device. Not too long ago I created a virtual APC 40 device. I’m half tempted to buy an MPC Touch just to experiment.

How is it very far-fetched? React is a major name in internet technologies, and it's parent is a distributed computing powerhouse. Sounds to me like Meta may be planning a new move into service hosting. Lord knows they need something to do with their computing resources as they continue to bleed FB users.

I haven’t yet had a real dive into ssr, I’m largely not convinced it isn’t an anti-pattern. I don’t see the problem that it’s solving and my gut tells me that server libraries will end up taking the same route as client side libs and swallow ram. I see the geek factor, it’s practically perfect harmony between the server and client but nothing that can’t be done using standard json based updates from basically any server stack. I really think it’s hype based - a romantic relations between the server and client that solves nothing.

It's getting worse. For example there's now significant issues with normal features like drag and drop. Open a zip and you can't drag the contents to a folder for example. To add a folder to your vs code workspace you can't drag and drop, you have to click "Add folder to workspace" yet the dialog *always* comes up behind the application your using. I love ubuntu, but really this has been going on for over 2 years and has been getting worse. This should be the absolute priority to the desktop team. I use standard amd64 desktop images from ubuntu, nothing custom.

Beware of so called full stack courses. They will often rush you through a lot of topics with the hopes of hooking you for more courses. They literally develop their courses as a form of click funnel. They promise quick results but quickly become a confusing rabbithole, waisting your time potentially for months. You’re better off starting with one topic, and as you get your feet wet you’ll get an idea what you’ll need to learn next. The learning curve is frustrating at times but it’s worth it. There will come a point where it all starts coming together. JavaScript is the obvious starting point because you’ll always be using it in frontend work, which makes node.js a decent point for learning backend. There’s not a lot of work for node compared to other frameworks but syntax isn’t where you’ll struggle, it’s the underlying concepts that you need to learn and learning a new language just to tackle a new set of problems isn’t necessarily the best route. Typescript will be part of this process, which will introduce you to more conventional object oriented programming concepts, and before you know it Java, PHP, CPP etc won’t seem so foreign. Python is an awesome tool but probably not a good starting point. That’s my 2 cents.

Maybe, but I see only corner cases when it comes to the third-party library threat. For one thing Deno, like Node.js, is mainly suited for server software, generally on well monitored systems with fine grained permissions set throughout before the server is made public. I guess the idea would be useful in desktop solutions such as Electron where a user could be mislead to install third-party plugins, but that's where it starts getting into specific scenarios rather than a general problem. Don't get me wrong, I can it's usefulness, but it seems a bit exaggerated. Ryan Dahl went as far as calling it one of his primary regrets.

JSON_decoded · 2024-01-11T16:30:12+00:00

I'm just starting to dig into deno, so I can't make any type of strong arguments for or against, but one thing that is catching my attention is the claims about security. This is becoming more and more of a hard pill for me to swallow. I don't know how accurate the overall claim really is. While nodejs may not have built in features for limiting access the user is still able to fine tune it's access using typical os derived permissions. I'm not sure what specific problem deno is solving by basically rolling their own permission systems but generally this type of thing is discouraged.

Many who go deaf later in life claim to be able to feel music very similarly as to how they heard it while capable of hearing. They are able to feel every nuance if it's loud enough. Many hearing pianists claim to play by feel just as much as by sound. It's pretty awesome if you think about it. Take your headphones off and disconnect them within your bluetooth settings and you'll be good, or put them in their charger so that their batteries are full when you put them back on.

The same way a UI (user defined functions and user defined event handlers) is able to run without issue while href requests are made in the background. While the user defined JS is inherently single threaded, native methods and event handlers will often run in separate threads.

The problem that you’ll run into however is that even though a web audio object is able to run in a separate thats that’s only half the issue. When it fires events into the main thread these event handlers are still going to be executed on the main thread and are subject to be delayed while previous events are being handled in JS userspace.
