I think this is saying different things? The question is how much of the direct interaction is with the REPL, not if a REPL is available to use.
662.
by taeric 1y ago
In this case, I'd view it more as an interactive mode to use ffmpeg? That is, it isn't like emacs is the thing that is doing the trimming. It is just providing convenient access to ffmpeg to do that. That it is able to do this u

Massive kudos on this! Could see elevating this to a full blown "ffmpeg-mode" that allows other forms of editing that is common from that tool.

This presumes that you never pick the wrong table, as well? :D My argument would be largely that you are doing a search of all of the tables for the columns that you want. With having to know the way to join the necessary tables along the

But "more columns than there are tables" is also why I put the thing about, "the total number of columns most people would need autocomplete for are rather limited?" I could see an argument on how this mattered back at

I'd assume they would ask for "aggregate sales by month to zip codes," or some such. Which, you'd probably get from a reporting table, and not bother trying to do the manual aggregate over transactional data. (That is,

Often times you don't know it is possible to get some data without consulting the table? Worse, you probably need to consult the views that have been made by any supporting DB team before you go off and build your own rollups. Unless

Thanks, this does seem to acknowledge that families like the buffet a lot. That said, I think it indexes a bit too heavily on the waffle maker. Which, I can kind of understand? My kids certainly loved that thing. They also loved the &qu

I'm assuming you are largely just not thinking this one through? We are not modeling the domain, we are describing some data we want to select. Without knowing how it is modeled, I can give a brief "top line" for expected s

No, this assumes you know what you want for a query. Which, seems largely fair? Like, how would you send this question to someone? Or how would you expect it to be sent to you? If your boss doesn't tell you from what table they want

I don't think anyone would ever say they want "id, id, id"? They would say they want "customer_id, order_id, item_id" or some such. You would then probably say, "we just use 'id' for the id of every

"I want 'first_name, last_name, and average(grade)' for my report." That is easy enough to state without knowing anything about how the data is normalized. Back when I worked to support a data science team, I actually r

My main caveat here, is that often the person starting a select knows what they want to select before they know where to select it from. To that end, having autocomplete for the sources of columns is far far more useful than autocomplete f

Sadly, I can't comment on the article due to my incompentence at bypassing paywalls. That said, I'm a bit bewildered at the title. My perception of the value on most breakfast buffets is ridiculously low. Unless I'm traveli

I'm honestly not sure how I feel on it, all told. On one level, I do prefer my code to be readable left to right and top to bottom. This, typically, means the big "narrative" functions up top and any supporting functions wil

I'm curious on how much of this is basically overcome by the new tools? As much as vibe coding annoys me, I can't argue against how good autocomplete from these LLMs can be.
677.
by taeric 1y ago
In principle, I agree with you. In practice, it keeps getting worse. I also don't typically ask generic questions. Ever, that I can remember. Again, I don't want to dislike the idea. If people are really getting value from it,

I'm not clear on what would be better about my Echos having an LLM interface. I want to like the idea, but I'm also growing increasingly annoyed at how things that used to work are beginning to not. If they could gate it behind a

So it sounds like we mostly agree? One of the starter posts was claiming 450 without AC. I'm curious how that happens. Even with AC, I was never seeing bills that big unless we were running it a lot.
680.
by taeric 1y ago
None of this contends with my question? I get how an AC can lead to an expensive bill. I'm assuming your numbers are to intend running the AC for daytime hours and that it will get you there. How do you get there without an AC? Abou

That is what is typically meant by a regular orthography. Wikipedia also calls it deep and shallow. These are legit terms that pre-exist to this odd debate that English isn't phonetic. Nobody that knows how to read English at a level

by taeric 1y ago
The term that would cover what you mean here is regular. And that is only in regards to correct spelling. Is obviously complicated when considering that we don't have official pronunciation across all dialects for the same word. Eve

This is an area where the modern insistence that English isn't phonetic baffles me.

I would expect things like this were far more prevalent in previous times. Like, comically so. Again, we should continue to push for better things. But don't ignore how much better we are from where we were.

Ah, fair. And I see how this goes in with your idea of government spending. It is frustrating, as that feels like an easy argument to show why a lot of things decreased in price. You had governments spending a ton of money. Or incentiviz

This seems to be claiming something different, though? You are pointing at that development slows as prices go down. Which seems somewhat expected? That is, adding supply lowers prices. And lowering price reduces potential profit such th

Ish? I'm still not clear where you would be using that much electricity. I'm not claiming that you don't. Or that you shouldn't. I'm genuinely curious on where the main use of electricity is. To add numbers, an A

That is silly. My point was that we have better law enforcement period. Are we currently perfect? Of course not. But to use that as your argument is, amusingly, a silly premise for an argument.

I mean, with limiting the allowed use of force to guard secrets, we are probably nowhere near as at risk for the worst of the past? As you said, the competition to guard secrets could be quite severe, and they were not exactly good at know

I'm curious what your major costs are, then? Without AC, pretty sure our costs were not even half that. Granted, my memory is largely from when we lived in a smaller house.
