I think it should be incredibly easy to verify this. Just look at the training data and see if it contains any of the chats. It should be trivial for a company with tens of thousands of super-genius agents at their disposal.

So you definitely did train on their data, you just think it is unlikely that it impacted the final model significantly?

I think very soon big LLM providers (OpenAI et. al.) will provide a service like this. With the LLMs becoming faster, the agentic task completion bottleneck will soon move to the tool calls (both execution time and round-trip latency), so i

This is very cool, I wish there was some way to use it on a bicycle though. For example, when moving into a street it could ask (using voice) if this street is paved, and I could answer it using voice too.

I have also been using it for a couple of months and it is great. Most other software that try to emulate a tiling window manager in windows/linux end up being too buggy and annoying to use full time, but in my experience aerospace is

Yeah I got exited thinking this is about traffic lights. I use a bike to commute to work and recently I was thinking if I could adjust my cycling cadence so that I never hit a red light, but unfortunately the timing of the traffic lights in

That's so cool, I was actually curious about history of such programs. Thanks for posting this :)

I doubt this comment was in good faith (you decided to ignore literally all the features I mentioned and focused on just creating files) but I am going to reply anyway: 1. There is no way that `touch newfile` is faster. Using voil, you pres

What are you proposing? Should I not be allowed to develop and publish an extension that I think is useful? > nobody will do that "nobody" is a strong word. Yes, most people don't do that, but if a single person reads the

You can view the source code and package the extension yourself if you are worried about that. It is only ~2000 LOC. It is not easy to get verified in vscode marketplace, even major publishers like Qt organization are not verified much less

Thanks for the feedback. Can you be a little more specific? What do you mean by "raw"? Do you mean from an aesthetic standpoint or is there some functionality you are missing from the UI?

> Creating empty files is rarely useful or necessary I kind of disagree? Most files were once created as an empty file! (at least that's the case in my workflow).

Since voil uses its own file extension (.voil) you can easily disable copilot for voil windows. Also voil asks you to confirm destructive actions. And even if you do, by default voil moves deleted files to a trash location and has undo func

I obviously love oil.nvim and that's why I ported it to vscode. But I think in some ways voil is even more powerful than oil. Specifically: - It can work across multiple vscode windows - The top line (that shows the current directory)

I don't use emacs so I may not be familiar with the full power, but if you are referring to dired, I think oil.nvim is much, much more powerful than dired. The major difference being that you still need to learn some new keybinds for d

Well, Iran is sanctioned as fuck, so no global payment system works in Iran anyway. All the payment systems used by Iranians are local so they work even in national internet.

Well, the internet is not national anymore (for now!), but isn't Google AI Mode US only? Anyway, the only google service that did work at that time was google search as far as I know nothing else worked (no gmail, maps, etc.).
