For those that don't, it's almost always modeled in the connection-library as "hold it open until commits == opens, or roll back if any roll back". Or it's often easy to build this yourself, around the library. Whi

Running some local models and wondering what insanity was consuming 100k+ tokens to respond to "hello world" was rather eye-opening, yeah. Full of pointless fluff.

Completely agreed, it had essentially everything I wanted out of such a system. I think they would've nailed it if they had just integrated it into the browser / an extension, and I'm baffled that they left it in such an awkw

Yeah, 2 is all I really care about. First-party discovery systems are almost always bad imo. And every time I think about it for more than a second, I get mad that OpenID got eaten by OAuth.

Article 1 in "why models are sycophantic", for those who dislike it. Many people really do prefer it.

It was definitely also the case before Microsoft, but I can't imagine it has improved since the acquisition. I try to avoid the site nowadays, it's randomly extremely slow and I would much rather spend my energy elsewhere anyway.

Technically speaking: it can't, any more than it can actually answer any other thing you ask it to do. But in practice it does produce fairly reasonable output fairly often, and if you've been there watching and correcting it you

And they fall somewhere between "surface-level speech patterns" and "repeating reasoning patterns" imo, yeah. They do indeed learn higher-order patterns than a Markov chain... but they'll blatantly misapply reasonin

Mostly. You can't do "show me this commit in the stack before and after the force push" though iirc. And you can't comment on the derived diff, even though that's what you'll be reading during re-review to see

I generally like it still. It describes their failure modes pretty well, and in a way that most people already recognize. They're incomparably more complex, of course, but they are not intelligent and they are very much repeating what

Reader mode is in all major browsers. Also I really don't see how this meets "unreadable". It's very plain and normal, at least on mobile. (Which is a compliment to the site)

Plus if or when they do work noticeably better, you'll be able to just ask them to improve your prompts. Because those prompts are discussed heavily online, and are in the training data. You can do this now. It works alright sometimes.

I'm not sure I'd describe cartel behavior as utility.

No citizen afaik. Foreigners yes, afaik. Bad, but materially different... but slippery slope arguments are rather predictive with the current government controllers.

yes, this is what I'm leaning towards. if intent (without accusation!) is the issue, then not providing access seems the same as removing or denying access. they're trying to do this kind of thing for foreigners (no social media

Plus it would reduce token counts. Careful use is almost directly opposed to their financial goals.

Nah, I think this falls squarely in the ideal space for devs: we want to be even lazier , so we build tools to allow that. Yak shaving is the premier lifestyle for devs. Some get so into it that they stop programming, move to the hills, an

Yeah, it was growing pretty rapidly during the libp2p days and tons of interesting truly-distributed things were popping up all over, but it has fallen rather far from that height. There seems to be somewhat of an upswing lately though. Fed

I don't believe you can add custom analyzers to `go vet`, which arguably rules it out. But it is extremely simple to make a custom vet-like tool, because it's a trivial binary wrapper around the analysis framework, which is firs

You're still describing the relative dregs we have now and saying "this is Open Source because it is the dominant form that exists". That's like saying "Windows is open source because it has documentation and every

If it's not obfuscated, it's often not very hard. Much of the time you can just LD_PRELOAD stuff too, which I think has a rather strong claim at being roughly equivalent to open-weight models.

Especially since some of the arguments in the article seem to hinge on "just fix the training!", yeah, I think this is a completely fair call-out. Open weights can sometimes get additional training, but you can't remove ex

Yeah - json is fine as a readable mechanical exchange format, but without comments it's essentially unusable for anything humans need to touch :/ I'm somewhat boggled that json5 hasn't grown to be more of a thing.

Cloning should be fine on its own - git hooks aren't installable automatically, for reasons like this, and they treat anything that makes cloning unsafe as a pretty severe security issue so new discoveries get plugged quickly. This po

Yep, in my one month paid trial I hit 300 after about 2 weeks, and I was being conscious of when I used it vs other engines. I'd probably clear 1000 if I wasn't. Their claims of "most people don't use 300+" has an E
