That no one cared enough to write it is usually a good indication that I should not care to read it either.

Greater context size means more computational resources means more energy. Dedicating a portion of the context to telling the LLM not to refer to goblins then has a non-zero energy cost every time you prompt the model.

"Is this fun" and "is it something a person in their 20s would want to play" are entirely different questions. There are people who absolutely thrive doing the things NetHack rewards you for in the long term: perseveranc

My understanding is that UMoria is an independent, complete remake of the original Moria. NetHack on the other hand is the same project with the same codebase throughout its history. With that in mind, NetHack is a few months older than the

I wonder how much energy OpenAI spends each day on pink elephant paradoxing goblins. A prompt like that will preoccupy the LLM with goblins on every request.

Hopefully these aliases will be renamed to "Copilot-Sudo" and "Copilot-Curl" soon enough.

I don't fully understand the request. On one hand you don't want a second channel to send the graphics instructions, but on the other you don't want to use in-band escape sequences. Maybe you'd be interested to learn abo

You can absolutely pipe programs together using a shell without a terminal. This also doesn't restric in any way the possibility to "output to some kind of graphical device/interface that uses that semantic information to dis

The bug is in a feature of iTerm2 that the "bad dead hardware design" did not have. The "bad dead hardware design" was much simpler and less ambitious in scope. If iTerm2 had stuck to emulating a VT220 this issue would n

Hear, hear. I mention it not to excuse Microsoft's sins, but to the contrary to point out that malicious intent as a criteria isn't such a good idea after all, when there are such obvious cases of incompetence and malice being pra

> In that: if it fails, it is only considered evidence that you were not doing it enough. Good way to ensure devotion to a process rather than devotion to a desirable outcome. Seems distinctly cult-like.

Having used Azure I believe that this is the result of pure, distilled incompetence rather than malicious intent.

IME the github workflow promotes bad commit hygiene by making squashing or rebasing as-is an either-or choice in the web GUI. This will help some since you can more easily split PRs into units that make sense to squash at the end, but it st

So far it still seems like it still is, but I think we will shortly have a lot of convoluted and very sparsely informational code that will be a PITA to read as a human. I'm already reading a ton of LLM generated code by less skilled d

Here the pedestrian-bicycle problems are much more likely to occur on dedicated bike paths than in pedestrian zones (where bicyclists must ride at walking speed). Usually a pedestrian nonchalantly crossing the bike path at an angle without

It doesn't seem like they're optimizing for stable, working software either, nor, apparently, a stable, working release workflow.

How likely is it that the broken release workflow that produced the leak was Claude's own work?

I think "minimum supported version" is a specific enough qualifier on its own. Whether or not it works on my favorite earlier version, actually supporting that version and making sure to maintain compatibility is more work for the

Without the infrastructure behind it to make it make sense, cloud platforms just seem like convoluted ways of storing data and launching applications/VMs to me. The only functional use of a tool like this to me would be to learn how to

For me as a player that might have been a simpler solution to an entirely different problem. I don't imagine that playing a first person 3D game with free movement and platforming would be a pleasurable experience with the latency over

That e.g. a form should work predictably according to some unambiguous set of principles is of course a UX concern. If it doesn't, then maybe someone responsible for UX should be more involved in the change review process so that they
