This is super big news if it’s real. Basically, given an agent with an initial set of predefined actions and goal, they’re saying “decompose this into steps and pick and action to achieve each step”. Pretty standard stuff. Then they say,

Many sites have a two tier application with a CMS SEO “landing page” abd conversion funnel run by the marketing department and a user-login that takes you to a separate website that is SEO irrelevant. So… a site that doesnt care about SE

You’ve taken literally one word from my comment, out of context. Yes, you’re right, they rushed it through. …and that sucks. Now what? Is that really the only meaningful complaint you can come up with about it? I don’t support it because I

I’m not for this legislation, but your argument doesn’t hold up. If people are hiding it, that in itself normalises that people are not using social media. That’s the point; taking someone’s phone away makes them an outcast. If no one at

Purego is ffi and is slower than cgo. That library (like this) claim “no cgo” when they use ffi is just ridiculous. This one is particularly egregious in even supporting cgo! Pure go my ass. You’re invoking c functions. It’s not pure go. Th

It’s not a technical thing. It’s not bad. It’s a misguided community thing. Cgo is the correct choice for many domains (ui, gamedev, systems stuff) where you can’t use a network boundary as your “interacts with other languages”. The languag

Most. Most normal people. Sure I know people who pay for it too; but I know a lot of people who like free things and don’t or can’t pay for subscriptions. Do you think most people have a spare $30 to spend every month on something they al

You can be reasonably confident that unless there’s been a significant breakthrough (there hasn’t) if a smaller model beats a larger model it’s either fine tuned for a specific purpose or trained on the test data somehow (ie. fine tuned to

What you’re written it literally false. You have no idea what that command does. It fetches something off the internet and builds it and installs it. It is objectively less explicit than having a local folder that you have explicitly fetche

Crates.io is a flat namespace. If you have to lookup the exact crate name (and you do , because otherwise you’re installing who-knows-what) what difference does it make? It’s just a lazy tool for lazy installs that only works when there ar

While some of that might be true, explain to me why an organisation like macdonalds would allow up to 30% of such machinery to be out of working order for years and years in high value areas. Your analysis posits what, that they’re just bla

Yeah, but the point is that MacDonalds obviously doesn’t want to sell icecream. Maybe it’s low margin. Maybe cleaning is expensive. Maybe it helps having the promise of cheap ice cream but “sorry not right now” leading customers to buy ot

Well, perhaps anyone who’s thinking about it can do their own research in /r/vscode and read about how much people love c# dev kit. TLDR; it’s not just me. I’m glad you like it and have found a workflow that works for you. I think

What fan boy nonsense is this? The VSC support for c# is miles behind visual studio. Rider isn’t as good either, but it’s certainly better than VSC. Are you heavily using typescript with a bit of c# or a really tiny code base? This comment

Everyone has a pet theory about what’s wrong with SO; but here’s the truth: Whatever they’re doing, it isn’t working. Blame mods. Blame AI. Blame askers… whatever man. That is a sinking ship. If you don’t see people complain about SO, it’s
