Yeah it's wild - not only not improving but seemingly getting worse doesn't seem like anyone outside the audience thinks it's a serious problem (?)

I was toying with the same thing for a bit - the hope was if it worked well you could build it into a little unit (audio or HDMI eARC) Doesn't solve for single units but could help with people who use soundbars or amps Abandoned though

There's been a lot of speculation/rationalisation around this already, but one I've not seen mentioned is the possibility of it being at least a little down to a kind of "don't look back" collective arrogance

This is really neat! If there was one of these for non-AI papers I'd easily lose hours each day Totally off topic, but come to think of it, I'd love to see more feeds support anti-bubbling (show me _less_ of what I've frequen

Not sure if helpful, but.. Ive found that systems which _don't_ support this often end up accidentally putting people's cursors in the same sentence/block (resulting in one or more editors losing content or wasting time tryin

Nice! You packed in so many things which are often drip fed, and take folk a while to find Kudos

If you don't interpret the intent as "90% of human code will be AI" but instead as "90% of code being created globally" it's probably a really conservative estimate. Creating 9x more code is depressingly easy -
