LLMs in general struggles with numbers, it's easy to tell with the medium sized models that struggle with line replacement commands where it has to count, it usually takes a couple of tries to get right.
I always imagined they'd have an easier time if they could start a vim instance and send search/movement/insert commands instead, not having to keep track of numbers and do calculations, but instead visually inspect the right thing happening.
I haven't tried this new feature yet, but that was the first thing that came to mind when seeing it, it might be easier for LLMs to do edits this way.
- lherron 1y agoGotta be better than codex literally writing a python script to edit a file multiple times in a single prompt response.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoPersonally haven't had that happen to me, been using Codex (and lots of other agents) for months now. Anecdote, but still. I wrote up a summary of how I see the current difference between the agents right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45680796 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45680796
