Building stuff on https://xakpc.dev
apparently most current LLMs suck in C#

it figures

I'm almost at the point where I could use my own LLM chat app to develop my own LLM chat app
February 6, 2025 at 7:18 PM
The main feature of my 🪟 app is done - a truly instant quick chat.

Here's a comparison of desktop apps from different providers versus what you can get when cutting out all the noise (next post ⬇️)

I think it's good, what do you think?

Today I decommissioned the last piece of my late startup

This .NET Framework 4 web app, hosted on Azure, worked for 8 years total, and the last 5 almost by itself

Now, when the last user no longer need it, it can finally go to rest. Thanks for all your work, small app 🫡

Why does copilot sometimes suck? Here's example N+1:

I simply asked it to add docs.

`inheritdoc` is OK, but what's with this `min` method that doesn't even exist in C#?

As soon as I expanded my ChatGPT subscription, I set myself a recurrent task

So far it's not bad, so I'll create more 'summarize news' tasks
February 3, 2025 at 4:07 PM
The same code was produced by ChatGPT o3-mini (not high) and Claude 3.5 Sonnet

Both produced the result after 2-3 steps of dialog with clarifications

Let me try some LLM clients from windows store

Oh, okay...

Instead of going for a walk, I'll add shallow support for ollama.

I'll regret it later, but for now it's quite fun

And before I wrap for a day, some funny shit

Because why not, it's my app in the end

You probably have around 10GB of RAM and most likely a GPU of some kind on your windows machine.

Your chats with LLMs should NOT take several seconds to load couple messages. This is the speed we need 🎞👀

(forgot to shut off some BGM I was listening to while coding, so enjoy)

You know your project is good👌
when you install Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting NuGet to it

Test your app with proper prompts

Starting to look like an actual app
February 1, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Enterprise grind is done for this week; back to building desktop apps
January 31, 2025 at 6:12 PM
The R1 model is funny to follow through all of that

But wait!
But wait!
But wait, there is more

I kinda gave up on 🦋 lately, but I haven't given up on building stuff.

Here is an early version of a Windows app (the ugliest one): an LLM app outperforming both Copilot and ChatGPT native apps in speed on the same 4o-mini model.

I might even ship it soon with BYOK or with some kind of sub

A couple of TRAXX P160 AC2

Day spent.. interesting
December 27, 2024 at 9:38 PM
Now that's a remarkable achievement

Danube is marvelous
December 26, 2024 at 11:17 AM
This is new.

Copilot isn't that useful anyway, but having limits on what it can do because "changes are public" makes it even worse
December 17, 2024 at 2:02 PM
AI replaced me

Not entirely though. But this DevOps project no longer needs an architect because some AI deployment tool was chosen

welp

not good

You shouldn't believe everything gen AI tells you
