I wonder if it's related to the fact that Windows as such weird rules about allowed file names. Like not directly obviously, more like culturally inside microsoft.

is it most as an 50% of individual jobs? or able to produce 50% dollar for dollar? what does "economically" means here? would it cover teaching? child care? healthcare? etc.

By the definition above, it is possible to have AGI that is also much more expensive to run than human engineers.

I'd much much rather the model write the code blocks than the prose myself. In my experience LLM can produce pretty decent code, but the writing is horrible. If anything I would prefer an agentic tool where you don't even see the

There is no "why." It will give reasons but they are bullshit too. Even with the prompt you may not get it to produce the bug more than once. If you sell a coding agent, it makes sense to capture all that stuff because you have (h

It's not reproducible though. Even with the exact same prompt and model, you can get dramatically different results especially after a few iterations of the agent loop. Generally you can't even rely on those though: most tools don

That would be great because "I got it from Wikipedia and Arxiv" isn't exactly useful. From reading your second link (and please tell me if I got it wrong) it sounds like it isn't actually tracking to training data but to

I think in practice it's less of a programming language and more of a scripting environment. It's like excel for math. There are many more people using it to produce mathematical results (like how excel is used to produce reports

Java also has covariant mutable arrays. I can't believe they created the whole language and didnt realize that covariant arrays are unsound? Or didn't care?

and then verify that it obeyed the prompt! Someone needs to build an agentic tool that does strict, enforced TDD.

In Java you have instrumentation agents that can do arbitrary code rewrite at runtime, including for code that has already been JITted (causing a deoptimization of it). It's first-class supported, unlike in Go. It's used extensive

Because it's the middle size between the two reasonable car sizes that are being made today: gigantic and fucking enormous. If you aren't buying at least the gigantic car, then you don't care about your kids safety and that&#

Yes I also don't see how having persistent context would help. For one, I don't want to read the slop the AI produced while it wrote the code. It doesn't have intent or thinking, it's a completion machine. The code is th

Also like, how else would the Google / Apple services do it? Probably via sockets right? I guess you could do it in a pull-based approach on a timer, but that doesn't seem more efficient to me.

Turns out that's not true, at least where I work. IT / Microsoft confirmed that all Copilot traffic goes through our corporate firewall.

Last year we wanted IT to confirm that Copilot Agent hadn't exfiltrated data and we couldn't get logs for its website usage without raising a ticket to Microsoft. Maybe this changed, maybe our IT people are bad, but I for one wasn

I tried copilot agent once, and it just claimed that it accessed a website that should have been blocked by corporate firewalls and uploaded a bunch of proprietary data. Lots of very specific information about how it clicked on specific but

Buybacks lead to stock price increases and are indistinguishable from dividends in theory, and in practice they are better than dividends because of taxation.

As of today though, that doesn't work. Even straightforward tasks that are perfectly spec-ed can't be reliably done with agents, at least in my experience. I recently used Claude for a refactor. I had an exact list of call sites,

Syntax errors should be caught by type checking / compiling/ linting. That should not take 2-3 hours!
