I'd be happy if things stopped interfering with standard X11 select/paste. It's now a random crap shoot if I have to hold Shift or not to regain that elegance. And, the whole idea of copy/paste having to use both mouse

I don't know the full break down but some is going to university and DOE lab groups and some of those are even exploring interesting and useful ideas.

It's fitting a theme of self-deprecation if we consider the origin of the name "git", no?

True. Though, I self censor to appease myself as I have caught myself picking up claudisms. I was mortified when I realized that I had started to use "land" as a verb related to finishing some bit of work.

I think you are right. The title of the figure is ambiguous about what "SD" really means but I guess it is plotting the number of standard deviations of the 1991-2020 data measured from the mean of that data and plotted per day fo

Another way to interpret it is that a massive sample bias is governing your premise. Programmers are embracing LLMs to scratch their own itches and programmers tend to work in terminals (yes, many use IDEs) so they build to their own envir

It's not so straight-forward. Either you must add hooks the the agent to notify tmux directly or you must use an external tool that polls tmux to determine one of its panes has gone silent and then based on that, send notification to

This split in what different people or groups get out of LLMs is pervasive and really interesting. In the beginning I was dismissive of those with bad experience with a "you are holding the tool wrong" smugness. But as I read mo

Maybe it was a thing from before clock speeds saturated and Moore's law mutated into being satisfied by ever increasing core count? It could have been useful when spec'ing hardware with the goal of running multi-threaded jobs tha

In particle physics, processing jobs face a limit of about 2GB/core. This is driven by the realities of "grid computing". The hardware in the computing facilities have approximately 2GB/core and jobs allocate based on

Yes, the spam arms race is a really good analogy. In that light, my thoughts are aligned with heuristics that might be applied with procmail or in the original, pre-learning, spamassassin. A fight-fire-with-fire is to insert an LLM to judg

I think everyone / every project needs to adopt a strategy consistent with their values. Unfortunately, I see the choice space here as having "developer effort" anti-correlated with "negative repercussions". On one

Right, I'd say RSS numbers (for a given blog post) mostly reflect cumulative visitors over the lifetime of the RSS feed while number of clicks coming in from a search engine reflect instantaneous popularity. Same pattern as say a sub-r
