I have seen 30k line cpp files even a decade ago (World of Warcraft server emulator, gameplay logic of a boss enemy), and was told it is fairly normal in large software (even 100K not being unheard of), so I'm not sure if it's tha

Is that why session compaction stopped working for me in VS Code at the end of this week, or is that just the integrated extension itself having a normal one? Though it's the same extension that can't keep its session timestamps s

Indeed, if you go out of your way to circumvent automatic story ranking, the particularities of automatic story ranking no longer affect you... A capability available without visiting any third party sites, by the way: https://ne

Was there any TLS interception in place? Mind you, that can be detected and ignored... Cause the (obviously AI generated) page is fairly ambiguous in this regard. In one section it claims certain pieces of info were sent outright. In others

I was sincere, because as you point out, the phrasing is not actually ambiguous here. There is only one way to interpret this that is coherent and sensible. The usual % shenanigans weren't even on the table for me. Not that I'd ha

Have you considered making the model leverage computer use via Work/Codex? I'd imagine making the agents use the same tools that people utilize would greatly dial back how AI-generated these things look, and it would provide much

It's... written right there? Like what? Suppose you send in your marvelous prompt and hit Enter. Machine churns for 18 seconds, types out a "reply", then yields back control. 18 / 3.6 = 5 So now the machine will only chu

That we do. So it'd be pretty cool if that was done responsibly too, and being able to answer my question very much matters for that. If these things do outperform servicemen, or if there's not enough data to assess that, then sel

Now imagine that, but also imagine it being cheap enough to swarm it, and/or it being hardware accelerated like Sol Ultrafast (1400 tok/sec) or ChatJimmy (17000 tok/sec).

I'd guess universities might starting hosting open source models. They can probably actually afford to, unlike individual mathematicians. Though maybe if there's a flurry of math-optimized agents coming up, like there are small co

There's a reason I didn't: the article itself did not bother. They just put things out there, "thought-leader to thought-leader just like that", to quote a recent HN comment I found hysterical in an unrelated thread. So

On the contrary, I'd urge people who e.g. adopted LLMs and agentic workflows for work to skip the second one. Reading it risks giving an aneurysm at worst, and wasting one's time and effort at best. But then I'd expect that

I'm not sure that makes sense? Having the expertise to verify the completion of a given task is a usually necessary but not sufficient requirement to what they're describing. I don't think they even disagree. You seem to be i

That's the thing. The moment you publish, the design you spent 100s of hours on also becomes public, at which point it becomes entirely replicable with little to no recourse. Hence the theme of this entire thread: a devaluement spiral.

If you have a software engineering background, it's like how semantic versioning is bollocks. Semantic versioning describes the following idealized setup: - you have an interface you expose (a contract, and thus a contract signature) -
