There are not many good resources on Kalman filters. In fact, I have found a single one that I'd consider good. This is someone who has spent a lot of time to newly understand Kalman filters.

Link to that good one?

It was a typo. I meant to say I haven't found a good one yet.

There's also settings available in some offerings and not in others. For example, the Anthropic Claude API supports setting model temperature, but the Claude Agent SDK doesn't.

> This blog post shows the journey that anyone not in one of those two vocal minorities is going through right now: A realization that AI coding tools can be a large accelerator but you need to learn how to use them correctly in your workflow and you need to remain involved in the code. It’s not as clickbaity as the extreme takes that get posted all the time. It’s a little disappointing to read the part where they said hard work was still required. It is a realistic and balanced take on the state of AI coding, though.

I appreciate the balanced takes and also the notion that one can use these AI tools to build software with principled use.

However, what I am still failing to see is concrete evidence that this is all faster and cheaper than just a human learning and doing everything themself or with a small team. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak, but I think it's still correct to question these things. I am putting in a _lot_ of work to reach a principled status quo with these tools, and it is still quite unclear whether it's actually improvement versus just a side quest to wrangle tools that everyone else is abusing.

I hope to god this comes into vogue in the U.S.

Big f'ing surprise.

The source is linked to in this thread. Is that not the source code?

Of what possible purpose is this man's DNA except for framing him for crimes later?

Take a look at Anthropic's repo. They auto-close issues after just a few weeks.

I don't think I've seen an issue of theirs that wasn't auto-closed.


Wait, isn’t software engineering a solved problem?


Yes, that’s why they have such great up time. They don’t go down multiple times per day.


Yes


I just randomly plugged in numbers to look up random Claude issues on github, and out of the 20 I checked, only one was closed as fixed. :-(

I also hate this pressure of it being on the user to come up with a minimal reproducing example. That means that any bug of any moderate complexity will never get fixed because you can't always reduce them to a few steps and they may be statistical.

A bug is a bug, no matter the developers' opinion or the complexity of the bug.


However there are "bugs" that actually do turn out to be just cosmic rays flipping bits or plain user error. If you as the reporter don't provide enough information for the developer to be sure they are not going on a wild goose chase then it's fair for the developer to not invest too much time.

Sure. But I'm biased because I was a "customer" of a former (large) company's products while also working at that company. So the bugs I would file were the type that a customer would file, but since I was inside, I saw how they were handled. The tactics that my fellow R&D developers would do to claim something wasn't a bug or reproducible were nearly endless.
