I’ll be the second then. I’ve found it’s very good at creating debt but equally good at resolving it. The thing is the default mode is creating debt so you have to intentionally pay it down. Refactors that used to take me a month now take a

It really doesn't matter what you personally know, that's not the point.

That's not the point, it's that people who were slaves died in a time when color TVs existed. This woman died in 1964! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_J._Cooper That's not long enough ago to call it a

Yes right indeed, edited.

It's recent enough that people living today knew former slaves. That's not ancient history at all, so I think the comparison is not good. I'm sure Brazil also has to deal with fallout of their practices, but I don't see

Genghis Khan died 800 years ago. The last American to have born into slavery died in the ~1970s~ 1960s.

Yes that was the basic trick they learned from Matlab, said to be a billion dollar company built off a single operator: \ Which, for anyone who doesn’t know Matlab, is the solve operator; it calls out to a big algorithm that chooses an appr

This is why AI is better at writing code than humans. They just write code and don’t complain about things that don’t matter, like indexing; or another classic, spaces vs tabs. Humans must learn to get past these things.

Nearly all languages for non coders are this way including Excel and SQL and Scratch.

Fascinating! I think that’s the main difference is my usage is probably tool-bound, meaning it writes some code but then there’s a long period of verification where it compiles things and then waits for the compilation and CI to complete be

What are you doing with them you need so many? It sounds like a Gas Town situation, that you invented an exponential token burning machine.

The guy said medium/high regular speed so that's why I'm very puzzled! Ultra + Fast will absolutely slurp up your whole usage quickly but I've never found it gives substantially better results so I stick to extra high.

How?? I'm using sol Extra High 24/7 and it eats up about 1% per hour reliably, so it lasts about 4 days for me.

Yes, it turns out that using these machines is a littler harder than "make me the thing I want, make no mistakes, do it the way I want you to do it". This isn't "prompt better" advice, it's just to say that you

I'm monitoring a process started in codex so maybe already in-flight things are still going / are about to hit a wall.

chat.com is down for me but the models seem to still be working. But actually i noticed instability last night at 3am eastern when thinking kept repeatedly failing.

Moreover none of the proposed measures would have prevented that, as you said it was in fact an error. The reason why this issue is so intractable is because the level of disruption must be measured against the risk of disenfranchisement. P

Notably this was after he waged a violent attempt to overthrow the US government. I thought that would have been it for everyone but apparently I guess soccer is the thing.

That won't work because he already believes he owns everything from hemisphere from Greenland to Venezuela.

Yes, I do a thing where I ask the machine to generate responses in the form of a lizard talking to a cat. The lizard is always a green gecko and the cat is always orange, which I never specify.

Yes, I think when the language leaves the lab is the perfect time to start thinking about branding and I do like MCL that one is apparently also a language from 30 years ago but nothing like abc. It would be pronounced “muscle”. https:&#x2
