I don't think that's fair, I'm just saying considering kilo to mean 1000x in all bases is too narrow as a definition. Is 'car' a 'petrol-powered four-wheel transportation device with human-operated left-hand

Substitute human contractor supervisors for the AI and it's no different.

But it's also like, we know what we mean, if the Zapotec people/community are fairly insular or at least in marriage/procreation like to be with their own then that's for casual purposes 'mostly pure'. Otherwis

Ok, this is horrifying. Doesn't feel like I've even been here much for the last ~year!

The Dutch would probably use it no problem without even noticing it was French, same way they would if it were German, or English.

What problem is hypothetically encountered by a US-originated OSS frontend framework dependency?

It's not even inconsistent if we consider kilo as meaning 10^3 in base 10 and 2^10 in base 2, rather than just '1000 times' always.

OpenEvidence does use an LLM. It's ChatGPT for doctors/medical research, tuned to give references in respected journals etc. Hospitals (at least US, Canada, UK) allow and even encourage (US) staff to use it as a quick lookup, the

I believe that was the main reason it was created - pre-commit author acknowledged the request for such support but said they wouldn't do (or merge) it in pre-commit.

It really should be the default, with the current 'git add' behaviour behind '--the-whole-damn-thing-i-dont-care-what-the-diff-is'.

Ok yeah I may have misinterpreted that bit in the article. It would be a totally reasonable assumption if you didn't happen to know that about email though, it wasn't a judgement regardless.

I get your point, but it just sounds a bit funny when it's an artefact of corporate structure that it's true. Like imagine if AWS was composed of separate companies for different services - Fargate was an Heroku acquisition say -

I haven't seen them other than in the submission - but if the length matches up it may be that they were processed from raw email, the RFC defines a length to wrap at. Edit: yes I think that's most likely what it is (and it's

They said the links provided by their parent were better than 'this' page, which presumably refers to the submission, not (some undisclosed alternate ad-ridden frontend to) HN.

Second that, it's really good. You can only really see a small fraction of it still, just because of the nature of it (it's like a central viewing space completely surrounded by warehouse shelving) but really interesting, from the

You realise the vast majority of people seeing your comment are on news.ycombinator.com and have no idea what you're talking about?

Just in from 2014, when the original article referenced in the first line of this one was written, opening 'You've heard of the 10x engineer, I'm here to tell you about the Wolf'?

If I was implementing any known (named) algorithm intentionally I think I would absolutely say so in a comment (`// here we use quick sort to...` and maybe why it's the choice) and then it's easy for someone to look up a

I don't really understand how that isn't allowed/disallowed simply on the basis of whether the licence permits use without attribution?

Sure but it would be a trivial comparison then, this is really about context vs tool-calling.

by OJFord 9mo ago
However you compose the context for the skill, the model has to generate output like 'use skill docslookup(blah)' vs. just 'according to the docs in context' (or even 'read file blah.txt mentioned in context')

No it's more than that - they didn't just put the skills instructions directly in AGENTS.md, they put the whole index for the docs (the skill in this case being a docs lookup) in there, so there's nothing to 'do', t

That's a problem of your provider needing you to have received email at a particular address (or else doing whatever you do on the PC at home) before you can send from it; not something inherent in unique addresses. I just type in what

It's not for that, the hype's not from SWEs, it's the next wave of tech savviness seeing some of what's possible (/riding up that peak before disillusionment trough). There's nothing new, it's 'just&#

There's so much of it, everything being reinvented as 'X for LLM' when you don't need it, can just use existing X tools perfectly well with LLMs. Even MCP was an example of that.

Yes! This is exactly why I gave up on my RSS feeds. I was paying for the client even ('Feedbin', iirc). I trimmed the feeds way down, and now just receive a couple literally by email. Doesn't fix the feeling, but merges it wi

It's not really on them to think of an example to disprove themselves? Do you have one in mind?
