Nope. And I’m probably not a great person to write it. I’m hardly an Emacs power user. I had friends who would do everything in Emacs to the point where I would joke with them that Linux was just their Emacs boot loader. I keep lots of othe

Sigh. Don’t be “that guy.”

Nearly 40 years for me. Wow! I’d note that MacOS input fields also have basic Emacs bindings for cursor movement, not just shells and browsers. Works in MacOS Mail, Evernote, etc.

Because I think that a world that is increasingly isolated by technology and divided by ideology is craving authentic personal interaction with real humans. And I think that’s something AI will not be able to duplicate because it requires r

Oops… gotta say that I agree with the general message of the article, though.

Then they’re doing it wrong. That’s a faux “connection” that just serves the business and not you. I would bet that if you experienced true connection, you’d love it, but you’ve been scammed by fraudsters so many times that you are suspicio

Yes, but the key point is that nobody got fired for buying it from IBM.

So, a natural question would be why a model would ever get it wrong?

I think they are optimizing for one-shot performance because that will drive usage. They can’t afford to look bad in the benchmarks. And if that means consuming an order of magnitude more tokens, well, that’s good for business, too.

Qwen is notorious for this, too. It’ll sometimes spin in a long loop of “But wait…” paragraphs.

I drank a lot of beer and I can’t remember what my code looked like. But I passed, so there’s that.

Yea, this seems as obvious to me as why it’s more efficient to reformat a drive partition than to delete every file that might be stored there. Or why it’s more efficient to free a whole memory arena than to free every single memory block a

Zero that we know of. But back then you tended to hide your bastards.

Presumably because MIT is even more permissive and it’s a change in Apple’s behavior.

Yea, I take my iPad everywhere for the same reason. I’ve gone digital simply because our house already has bookshelves in every room and they are all full, so I literally find it difficult to buy physical books anymore. But I’m always readi

Yep, it’s a crisis. We’re raising kids that are illiterate and frankly just dumb. You ever watch those YouTube videos where they interview college kids (who were actually accepted to a college!) and they can’t correctly answer who fought in

Yes, but then how many different editors are people using? What about VSCode? SublimeText? Etc. you’re just trading one problem for another.

by drob518 5mo ago
I’ll overlook your poor choice in editors. :-) The rest of this is spot on. Yea, that’s bad. A project like that screams for a code formatter to be plumbed into a pre-commit hook. Like you say, I’ve never really found a great argument for t

Yes, among other things. I trust a limited, fixed algorithm much more than a stochastic process. A fixed algorithm either works or it doesn’t. It might have a bug, but it isn’t influenced by the content of the web page as that text enters i

This is not that. This is an agent autonomously navigating through the website to change your password. You don’t even need to be navigated to the site. The app gives you a list of sites with insecure passwords and you just hit a button lab

Yea, I saw that during the WWDC keynote and physically cringed. As the article says, what could go wrong?
