Does seem within the range of “hit me back when I see you next week, buddy” though.

Some people who are in this thread might be interested in that view. A little more context would have helped it though I agree.

I agree, and I am also a centrist, but to say “socialism bad” has “no basis in reality” is wrong.

Hey buddy I’m not a “right winger”, I’m dead center with a voting record that reflects that. His policies are on the left end of the spectrum, whether that fits your model of the truth or not.

I’m sorry this makes no sense. He’s creating city owned grocery stores. I’m not just making up some slanderous label. That’s a socialist idea if ever there was one, good as it may be!

by piker 2mo ago
Yeah, I was surprised to see a downvote for that. Isn’t that like his position? I don’t believe in socialism. He seems like a nice guy. These aren’t incompatible.

His policies are socialist. Some of us still perceive that as a bad thing.

Perhaps, but you need to tell it how to refactor or you’ll get more gibberish and helper functions. Hence, programming.

by piker 2mo ago
Nope. Not yet. The frontier still produces slop and never refactors. Your code base will grow with the square of your features and grind to a halt. God speed to folks that work at this shop.

by piker 2mo ago
Agreed. I think VS Code + Codex or similar is great, personally. I never (1) hit any kind of limits with the $20 plan or (2) lose control of the code base whatsoever. I'm also not shipping at 300x or whatever some other folks claim.

It does seem like diminishing (perceptual|valuable) returns to intelligence is antithetical to exponential capitalization growth. Even if we can get the models to Einstein level, maybe we just don’t need that to, say, mow the lawn.

Maybe that’s a good place to make the cut. One Rust crate for game dev, one for data science, etc. Then their deps are pinned and monitored by the crate maintainers.

Yep

No, that’s not at all what is going on here.

Won't we just be able to fine tune OSS models to detect these patterns across providers? It will be cat-and-mouse but my bet is it converges to a central detector that isn't affiliated with any model provider.

Absolutely! I travel a LOT, am able-bodied and frequent the same airports, and I am routinely confused and anxious. Bad call-out to Heathrow though where they’re amongst the best in the world at this.

Honest question: with multiple contributors or just a single individual editor? I’m building a word processor and never personally considered multi-player useful.
