Grok search is really good Similarly I find grok is less likely to police itself to the point of retardation e.g. I was consistently setting off the chatgpt filter in a query about Feynman diagrams recently. Why?

Love this kind of thing. Particularly in the age of AI being cheap and even on device there are even more reasons to have issues be near the code for easy access. Similarly things like automatically promoting bugs into the test suite as SHO

Who says there'd be a profit? Don't supermarkets rely on enormous scale and then eek out a few percent? I'd love a state that could do that (well, ignoring the orwellian aspect of that) but this is a game for the paperclip ma

What's a public service? Supermarkets are more important to me than buses, they're not run by the state.

Then whence merge commits? A branch is a commit with a hat on, strictly speaking.

No, they're terrible. We should be reviewing stacks of commits not branches

Inevitable. GitHub is a good platform in need of some proper dev workflows (pull requests are atrocious, branches footguns, yml driven CI is a noose) but they've obviously won.

Git should have issue support or something like it as a convention but pull requests are an abomination that we are stuck with. No thank you.

"General relativity for the gifted amateur" just came out by the way. I suspect an instant classic. I am very rusty so shall be going through it.

The thing with MTW is that it's so big that it's quite hard to really mull over it (for me at least). it's a book that I can imagine reading a lot in a very quiet world (i.e. basically a dorm or library before phones or compu

I was weighing up (...) buying a copy of this the other day, in a physical bookshop. The thing was so big I couldn't actually buy it.

The impression I get is that he's just cold hearted but directing it towards charity. Not in an evil sense although perhaps it's lucky. People like the bill gates of the 90s don't just disappear

Are you saying you find model names like o4-mini-high-pro-experimental-version5 confusing and stupid?

A lot of people just don't have the dexterity. Doesn't mean they're stupid necessarily (although the two do rhyme)

If you mean write code to exhaustively search the solution space then they actually can do that quite happily provided you tell it you will execute the code for them

The funny thing is that if they spun out half of the mainframe thing into something they could compete with people might actually buy them. Most firms have so-so software, in need of ultra reliable hardware, not everyone is google

The old blue checks were very useful as a way of knowing who was approved by the regime. So I sort of look forward to this, even if I still really struggle to even casually use bluesky.

Bad form from Microsoft but maybe this is why the modern trend away from copyleft licenses isn't some piece of trivia.
