@dave @steven @suorcd yikes š¬ I guess there must have been an error that caused it to abort the parses instantly and bombard you with requests.Maybe I'll add I short timeout at the beginning of parse operations to make sure you don't get spammed that badly if something goes wrong.

I don't know if there is anyone left who is skeptical...but the LLM updates over the past couple months for programming are a giant leap forward, and it seems like we've crossed an inflection point for the industry.Using Opus 4.5, I was able to get what would have been 5 days of work for me finished in 1 day.One stage of my work included writing 8 paragraphs of instructions for Opus, and it wrote hundreds of lines of code across 7 repos, and was ~99% accurate and finished after a few minutes

The cost of using Opus 4.5 is substantial. A long 12 hour day of work cost me almost $50 in Anthropic API credits.Since we haven't turned a profit yet with Podverse, that comes out of my pocket and is not easy to sustain, but the time and energy savings make it worth it.I'm currently trying to replace Opus 4.5 in my setup with GLM 4.7, which is the highest rated open source / MIT LLM for coding available today. API credits are 10% the cost of Anthropic's, so hopefully it will be good enough.

@alecksgates do you use a full CLI approach? I havenāt made that leap yet, and with how Iām using LLMs at least, it doesnāt seem like theyāve eliminated the need for manual edits in all cases.

Iām finding trying to keep up with LLM advances for coding pretty disorientingā¦on one hand there are some real and magnificent breakthroughs, and on the other there is a lot of useless slop masquerading as breakthroughs.Improved LLM models are already accelerating my productivity by several times, but Iām still seeing enough errors and anti-patterns, that I have a hard time believing the āyou can do it all with promptsā and āyou donāt need to review every lineā camp isnāt being naive.

I still donāt understand all the common terminology with LLM development Iām seeing thrown around though. Problem could be my own lack of knowledge.

@dave I still haven't tried Claude Code. Curious to hear how it goes.My workflow has been Cursor using Auto mode ~95% of the time, and then for big or difficult tasks, I switch it to Opus 4.5, and in the rare case that doesn't work, I switch it to I think I literally got 2 weeks of tedious refactoring, validation scripts, and documentation done today over 8 hours. Plus a feature on the website that I've been wondering how to do cleanly for like a decade (cont)

As the Podverse infrastructure has grown to 10+ repos, and given how LLM seems to perform better with all its context in one place, and it would be easier to save llm prompt history in one place...I'm wondering if we should make a major switch to a monorepo š£I've never done a monorepo before. If it were just LLM, then we may not need it (we could create yet another repo...podverse-llm or something) (cont)

but I'm also thinking it may be easier for open source contributors to create PRs for Podverse if they can just create 1 PR per feature. Right now, a typical feature update will require changes to multiple repos. It's a clean process imo, but it does add significant overhead to PR creation and reviews.Anyone have experience and opinions on monorepos? Worth the switch in our case, or could it create more problems than it is worth?

LLM programming lesson learned...I have been using Opus 4.5 for large, complex tasks where I want the highest quality model available for the work, but Sonnet 4.5 (also by Anthropic) is also very good, and costs ~67% less $ than Opus 4.5 to use.My latest approach is, when working on a large and complex task, have Sonnet 4.5 plan all the work upfront, and split the work into many plan files, and save them locally (target under 300 lines per plan, to keep them reasonably sized), then...

...then after Sonnet 4.5 seems happy with everything, I switch to Opus 4.5 to review the plans that Sonnet 4.5 created. When I do this, Opus 4.5 often finds gaps or issues that Sonnet 4.5 did not.Once Opus 4.5 is happy with the plans, and I'm happy with the plans, I switch back to Sonnet 4.5 to run them (in parallel, when possible).So far, the process seems to work well and save me a lot of money on API credit usage.

@dave I have not even heard of it yet. Oh man...I have written so many skills already (well, telling LLM to write them mostly) forming a framework for the new monorepo. My impression is this may nullify or conflict with a lot of them. If it's a game-changer and the clear standards leader though, I wouldn't want to be left behind.Also, I'm hoping to not stay confined to Claude / non-open source models. Can the plugin work with any model? I imagine it's just skills files?

This is a test thread for <podcast:socialInteract> tag testing.(I need an activity pub post url for us with test RSS feeds.)

@wjmaggos hah I have not thought that far ahead yet...But as long as the data can map to the same schema we end up with from parsing RSS, I imagine there's no reason we can't support AP or any other data format.I do however lean towards RSS being a good enough data standard for podcasts/music/etc. What does AP offer in this context that RSS does not?

@dave @alecksgates @suorcd I think we discussed this before, but wanted to confirm.The PI docs said a podcast:guid should be v5, but you also said that shouldn't be a strict requirement.I'd like to implement at least some validation on that column in our database. Do you think v4 and v5 would be enough? Or just validate that it follows any of the uuid schemas? (apparently there are 8 versions)

@dave @alecksgates @suorcd LLM suggests v1, v2, v4, and v5.v3 apparently is deprecated.v6, v7 seem reasonable.v8 is "custom" which maybe we don't want.

@ericpp @dave @alecksgates @suorcd that makes sense. However since the feed URL can change at a later time, I believe from the v5 requirement is not actually required any more.I'll just add validation that it is any uuid (36 chars, 8-4-4-4-12).

Podverse Alpha Update š ļøNEW: Add By RSS feeds on PV web š"Add by RSS" are feeds that are NOT in the Podcast Index, and are not supposed to be.For example, private, premium content feeds that you get a link to when supporting a creator on Patreon.Podverse legacy supported these feeds in the mobile app, but it did not let you add content from those feeds to your queue or playlists.Podverse nextgen does support Add by RSS queue and playlist functionality.

Podverse legacy also did not have web support for Add by RSS feeds at all. They were a mobile feature only, and an incomplete feature, at that.With Podverse nextgen, you should be able to add your private RSS feeds on web, and have them available in mobile, and vice versa.For many reasons, this has been the most complex feature to support in Podverse Nextgen yet...there are many different situations to test for, and we will likely have to iron out bugs as people report them to us.

Speaking of Podverse Nextgen bug reports, we now have ONE place for everyone to report bugs to.The entire Podverse infrastructure (almost) is within this one Github monorepo. If you notice a bug or have a feature request, all are welcome to create issues here:https://github.com/podverse/podverse/issues
