Hashing microservice deployment was blocked by random generator microservice stuck in Pending because it needed an UUID from UUID microservice which was blocked by hashing.
Sehr gut! I need to show it to my colleagues. Unfortunately half of them are on vacation currently and another half on sick leave. We decided to make a Teams call in August to discuss how to proceed with this.
I'm team "taking on CUDA with OpenVINO" (and SYCL*), Intel seems really upped their game on iGPU and dGPU lately, with sane prices and fairly good software support and APIs.
I'm not talking gaming CUDA, but CV and data science workloads seem to scale well on Arc and work well on Edge on Core Ultra 2/3.
While I applaud the acumen, this reads like watching a kid standing on the 3rd floor balcony shouting "look what I can do!"
$20/month. Yeah. Great, but why? You get a lot of peace of mind with "real" HA setup with real backups and real recovery, for not much more than $20, if you are careful.
Another half of article is about running "free, unlimited" local AI on a GPU (Santa brought it) with, apparently, free electricity (Santa pays for it).
When I ask Gemini for some purchasing decisions (e.g. "I'm looking for the best medium-end audiophile IEM to buy, compare Campfire Audio Astrolith and 64 Audio U12t"), then go on discussing and spinning the results for a while, after a few days it decides to have a "memory" that I own it (I don't) and starts to inject it everywhere.
"Oh, you ask which dark roast coffee is least acidic, well, since you own Campfire Audio Astrolith, you will enjoy..."
I echo the others' sentiments that I still strongly prefer to write code mostly manually, assisted by Tab completions, and only generate piecewise via Cmd+K where I'm not sure about APIs or forgot the exact syntax. Chatting in Ask only mode about more complex problems.
Maybe I'm not a 10x developer, I'm fine with that.
Cursor shoving Agents down my throat made me abandon and cancel it once this year. I jumped around between Sublime, Zed, VS Code, and alas none of them has a Tab completion experience that even remotely compares with Cursor, so I had to switch back.
If possible, I'll probably stay on v2 until it's deprecated. Hope Zed catches by that time.
Try Mercury by Inception. It's available as autocomplete in Zed. Last time I tried it, Zed had an API key hidden in their docs that allowed you to use it for free
The crazy thing is that it's a diffusion-based LLM. That makes it very fast, like Cursor Tab, and the outputs seem very accurate in my limited testing (although I find Cursor Tab to still feel "like 10% better")

That said, you should really give agentic coding a la Claude Code a try. It's gotten incredibly good. I still need to check the outputs of course, but after using it for 2-3 days, I've learned to "think" about how to tackle a problem with it similarly like I had to learn when first picking up programming.
Once I did, suddenly it didn't feel risky and weird anymore, because it's doing what I would've done manually anyways. Step by step. It might not be as blackboxy as you think it is
You might want to try this, one step ahead of Ctrl+K
Define the interface and functions and let the AI fill in the blanks.
Eg: I want XYZ class with methodFoo and methodBar which connects to APIabcd and fetch details. Define classes for response types based on API documentation at ...., use localLibraryXYZ for ABCD.
This is the way I found to work well for me. I maintain a tight grip over the architecture, even the low level architecture, and LLM writes code I can't be bothered to write.
I find tab completions very irritating. They're "almost" correct but miss some detail. I'd rather review all of that at once rather than when writing code.
My view about coding agents is that there can't be any human that types as fast as them with the same accuracy as their output, ever!
Same as it is faster to take notes with a laptop than writing manually, it is faster and cheaper to have an agent give you the code you want to type than actually typing them, manually.
This whole PRC law (system) is designed to condemn already targeted individuals, there's no big difference if there's nothing on the phone. Chinese laws are specifically formulated in this pattern: "A, B, C, or at the discretion of the relevant authorities". Since there's no attorney-client privilege in PRC, once you're targeted, the "discretion" can always be found.
