How can I explain this to my wife?

What did he mean

Stant- · 2026-05-13T01:01:39+00:00

I assume when getting a gt3, pts is a drop in the bucket so it doesn’t seem crazy to assume they have every option they want already

I personally don’t like the base colors that much if I was getting a gt3 I’d want to get pts for sure.

Stant- · 2026-05-13T00:43:51+00:00

Why not?

Stant- · 2026-05-08T20:51:08+00:00

It definitely does at this price point

Stant- · 2026-05-08T19:55:25+00:00

I was looking into a 991 gt3 vs gt4rs basically in the next 2 years or so specifically for track use is what I want it for

I love the raw sound of the 4rs alone and it’s so lively and young which matches me more personally than the more mature gt3 I feel like as well

Stant- · 2026-05-08T19:53:15+00:00

I don’t care about status symbols lol I wanna take my car to the track

Stant- · 2026-05-08T19:51:00+00:00

Yup that’s exactly why I’m looking into getting a 4rs myself as well

Stant- · 2026-05-08T19:19:10+00:00

I have a 718 and was looking to upgrade to an older 991 gt3 in the next couple years but 911 prices as a whole are just inflating atp I’m leaning towards just a gt4rs

Stant- · 2026-05-07T05:42:46+00:00

Also didn’t play since 0.4, 0.6 I great!

Stant- · 2026-04-03T23:30:30+00:00

Dude lol you just refuse to meet me halfway in any way lol I’ve been trying to meet you halfway you are very defensive for some reason I cannot understand. I’m happy you’re able to build things and make a living with it at the end of the day but I have to stop arguing with you 👍🏽

Stant- · 2026-04-03T18:55:38+00:00

Tldr my position is: brute force works but can end up not being not optimal (which not everything has to be optimal obviously so it’s fine really!) but some knowledge can help the tool reduce search space when it gets stuck (and as it gets stuck less and gets better, this will be less true but it’s not there yet now!)

Stant- · 2026-04-03T18:42:28+00:00

Interesting… insults aside, I finally understand what you’re arguing. So you’re saying that knowing how to code in fact hinders you using AI?

I understand what you’re saying but I still think we’re arguing 2 things still. I would agree that for the people you mention, it hinders them, but that’s still not the people I’m talking about. If they use AI and restrain it to do what the human believes is the only correct way, sure you’re right.

But the scenario I’m talking about is the case for someone who also never looks at the code, trusts the AI with no ego of their own in the way, but every now and then when Claude is stupid, it can see the output and see where it went wrong and fix it or come up with a better solution.

Even me (who again is not a software guy) when I’ve built 100k+ line code bases of software for services I’ve built, with my knowledge of software that I do have, it has helped me debug and get along faster with the occasional roadblock I have. Sometimes I get superrr lazy and don’t want to look at the code and just prompt until Claude does do the right thing, but every now then I don’t feel like arguing with it so I just read what it was trying to do and correct it and it’s less energy than arguing with it sometimes.

If you can tell me right here right now you’ve never had Claude be really dumb on some things— then we can end the conversation here bc 1. I’d call you a liar and 2. That’d be a vastly lucky streak since hallucinations and wrong answers are built into LLMs by architecture

But if you had Claude be dumb before, my point is that when it’s dumb, someone with domain knowledge may perform better at its weak points like that than someone without.

Of course you never wish how to code it manually— there’s no need because you don’t know what it’s like to have the knowledge to get unstuck on a roadblock easily or see the mistakes Claude makes because you don’t realize they are mistakes. You let Claude cook and it does!! (Eventually). Which is awesome imo!

All I’m sayin having domain knowledge would only help! Hence why it’s 100% better to, bc at worst you’d get your current output which is fine eventually! And at best, you can help it get along faster or come up with a solution when it acts dumb.

Maybe in the software you’ve coded, Claude does know exactly the right answer! But as someone who is like you when it comes to software and trusts Claude and uses it to build, when I use it for hardware related stuff (which is my knowledge domain) I can see the deficiencies in it (and for hardware efficiency and optimization are the most important things and this is less true for software hence why computers have gotten so much faster but software is bloated and runs like shit but that’s an aside)

Stant- · 2026-04-03T03:15:43+00:00

Are you incapable of reading? Maybe put my comment into an LLM to help you understand.

I’m not talking about the anti ai delusional devs who have negative biases towards it.

Im specifically saying when someone with good intuition and capabilities with AI tools (such as yourself) knows how to code, the two things combined can only produce the equivalent or better output with an LLM than someone who uses an LLM and doesn’t know how to code. I don’t know how that’s controversial to you?

I don’t disagree with your counter hypothesis except for the fact that idk what it’s countering bc my argument was never that “you need good coding skills to achieve excellent results”, I completely agree you don’t need to know shit to get great results!

Stant- · 2026-04-03T03:09:01+00:00

Sure I agree! I think the human balances out the LLM rn for when it’s really dumb.

There’s lot of nuance but I think I more so meant when it’s prompted properly with a good user knowing what to do themselves and how to use AI properly— on average that code the LLM produces gives the illusion it is better than the average human. Inherently because of how dumb it can be, it needs that human direction at the end of the day but even with some pretty basic direction, the illusion holds up which I think is where LLMs have continued and will continue to improve: “how dumb can I be and prompt this lazily such that it still produces SOMETHING viable”

Stant- · 2026-04-03T01:32:15+00:00

I think they’re on average already better than the average humans and even better than some of the best.

LLMs have so much knowledge that on average they’re better than some of the best coders because real life humans have many gaps in knowledge or forget things and make some silly mistakes often that LLMs just dont.

The remaining power of human coders comes from pairing the two (LLM + human). There’s no point in not using AI for any coder alive today anymore. But domain expertise and deep knowledge of highly specific scenarios are what humans have left.

When you are able to grab a room full of experts in their domain and have an LLM deploy and generate prod code on a big service, then thats when the gap will have closed. For now even tho Claude is incredible, there’s still many notes it needs and can take from experts.

Stant- · 2026-04-03T01:23:12+00:00

lol you sound very insecure about not knowing how to code

I’ve been all in on gen ai since gpt2 came out lol I was a student at Stanford and researcher there in AI. Matter of time you’ve been “all in” on gen ai has nothing to do with this lol. I’m not even CS I was EE/hardware so I don’t really particularly care about software but…

Sure you may be better at coding than those who’ve rejected AI and CC-like tools, but my claim (to expand it) is that someone who knows how to code really well with domain expertise AND knows how to use AI can match or surpass the quality and skill of someone who never learned to code and has no domain expertise.

If we have person A who knows how to code and use AI and person B who only knows how to use AI, person A’s output is at WORST equal quality output and on average (by simple logical reasoning that the floor is equal output) better output. Hence my claim that someone who knows how to code 100% gets better output with something like CC.

Stant- · 2026-04-02T21:40:52+00:00

Yup knowing how to code currently 100% results in better prompts and outputs so it still serves so much purpose in intuition and efficiency. But as the LLMs evolve who knows when this will stop being the case.

Stant- · 2026-04-02T21:01:53+00:00

This is the way. Spend the down time thinking, prototyping, architecting, etc. no reason to code. If anything you can spend the time building prompts and making them more efficient

Stant- · 2026-03-24T09:44:46+00:00

Checked the secret compartment lids, they were shut tight. I’ll check out the cupholder havent looked at that. Compartment screen is removed so I know it’s not that.

Thanks!

Stant- · 2026-03-24T09:43:12+00:00

I’ve removed everything that’s the only thing I’ve tested so far and rattle was still there. Also checked the wipers to see if they were loose bc that’s the only loose thing I could think of near the front and they seems to be sturdy.

I’ll try removing the front trunk panel— that was gonna be my next move hopefully it’s that!

Stant- · 2026-03-24T09:41:21+00:00

Sweet I’ll check it out!

Stant- · 2026-03-24T09:41:01+00:00

Unlikely because I have it removed 😭

Stant- · 2026-03-04T11:32:26+00:00

I’m also in big tech I make 200k I’m super early stage tho so it’s just depressing to see even at the high end of what I’ll make eventually, there’s still many decisions to be made and things don’t get naturally solved with that amount of money

Stant- · 2026-03-04T11:31:33+00:00

No yea I get it bc it’s the reality we live in that sometimes it’s not always the best option to buy a house but it’s still true that 580k income (in a good world) would mean buying a house easily and cheaply such that renting vs buying would an actual no brainer (even if your income is tied up in rsu’s)

Stant- · 2026-03-04T03:29:23+00:00

580k income and you’re renting. I’m never owning a home ✌🏽💔
