I use zed for this (you can use vscode as well), just use the side panel chat, take away write permissions, prompt it with "answer with code in chat" or similar, then you can use it as a personalized StackOverflow for your codebas

There are plenty of humid, warm cities in the world. Not so many humid, cold cities. It's easy to check, usually the (English) wikipedia article of a city will have a Climate table with month-by-month data. On the winter months, Mo

yes, and all their abstract, philosophical thought is now being used to justify high valuations by these companies. if what they are making is the new nuclear bomb, well then they must be very valuable indeed.

It's still a big change from the previous status quo. I've been checking on absolute emissions on various industrial countries for a while now and this is the first time I've seen them actually flat (and not decreasing as a f

It's ridiculous. They should have made it an explicit part of the language. The interpreter knows about types already, it's crazy that they couldn't just let the user make the types explicit rather than implicit, and have the

I think the measure goes like this: the higher the dial, the more you feel you are getting your money's worth out of your 10k usd purchase. it's a fantastic feature, really

wow that's actually insane, the fact that they would have an "improvement" dial is ridiculous by itself, but also the picture looks extremely fake? is this a scam website? leaves me wondering what the product actually looks l

the comment about MIRI being a doomsday cult was exactly right. yudkowsky lost what little credibility he had left when he argued for the bombing of datacenters. as is (correctly, imo) argued by the essay, reading what they have to say is l

I have mentioned it several times lately, but if the analogy was correct, people would be committing prompts and not code. High-level source code gets committed, binaries don't. If prompts were really "just a higher level of abstr
