- cubix 1y agoThat was my thought. More keystrokes with less certain results.
- vander_elst 1y agoI also think that the keystrokes are strictly less and the loop feedback is faster and more robust, but I'm curious to read different points of view.
- Scandiravian 1y agoIt could be that the author was trying to make the agent do something wrong and the move operation has potential for that I'll do even more sidetracking and just state that the behaviour of "move" in Windows as described in the article seems absolutely insane. Edit: so the article links to the documentation for "move" and states that the above is described there. I looked through that page and cannot find any such description - my spider sense is tingling, though I do not now why

- theshrike79 1y agoIf you ask the agent to move the files, it knows they were moved. After that it can continue to refactor the code if some imports need to be modified.
- myaccountonhn 1y agoSomeone else in the thread mentioned they used an LLM to remove a test. The amount of energy wasted to do these banal tasks is mindboggling. So extremely wasteful. And with Meta and Openai building 5GW ai data centers, looks like the wastefulness will only grow.
