Definitely not, but that's ok

I think you could make a high level brainstorm session / plan on paper of things to prompt and that this was valuable even before AI and occasionally manually writing out the code could be useful as a mental exercise to keep coding ski

I think one of the other comments gets in to it, but it's really either AI gets good enough so we can accelerate OSS development with agents, or it's not good enough and that will probably force a pull-back towards more manually c

I think of banter as saying something offensive but not really meaning it so the humor is in being "playfully offensive" or "offensive when you don't really mean to be offensive"

Oh, I don't actually know the difference if you want to explain it The title says it's 27B grade running on a phone and what I was comparing it to in my mind was a model that runs at 35B grade that could presumably run on a phone

I was trying Ornith 9B locally (it's up on Ollama) which claims: > Ornith-1.0-9B, which can be easily deployed on edge devices, matches or exceeds the performance of much larger models such as Gemma 4-31B and Qwen 3.6 35B. https:&#

imo no way But this varies from person to person Some of us overthink already and offloading to AI just enables us to overthink more in other directions than we would if we didn't have ai

I think from seeing articles like this a few times, that there's a lack of definition from people as what counts as "real reading" and about what materials "count as real reading" (since I think probably people are

a regulation on top of regulations... perhaps deregulating education so there is more competition might produce better results over the poor quality of education offered today for higher costs

Interesting article, I guess it may come off as a reflection of being of a different mindset than an older style of open source software and culture? I thought the idea was, software is created with an open source and open license to it - s
