Yeah, so would investment in reliable, nice public transportation. I know it doesn’t solve the last-mile-problem. Either way, fewer drivers means fewer deaths.

a funny codex anecdote: I had 5.6-Luna coordinate a code review in which it spawns 2 agents looking for different things. My prompt was "review the currently checked out branch. diff target is `next`. The jira ticket is XX-XXXXX...&quo

It mostly doesn't depending on the harness you're using the skill with. The author turned it into a pi extension, for example, in the `extensions` folder in the repo. Users of pi can enable and disable the skill with a slash comma

If you’re being pedantic, sure. Edit: to elaborate, it’s bullshit that I need to pretend that Nazis have anything to say that’s worth listening to in the name of “polite political discourse”. It’s an ideology built on hate and violence towa

There are reasonable people who can grasp nuance on both platforms, but you can't deny that twitter/x has become known as a place that allows Nazi politics on it. Just look Elon, the owner.. It's seriously disingenuous to fra

I didn't know this was a thing until you mentioned it. I'm glad there are more options today. I have since left the company and haven't gotten to work in address-related problems since. We were pretty invested in using Google

I honestly can't remember. I don't think it was an option for our company at the time, or I was too inexperienced to evaluate that as a solution. As fun as it was, I was also flying by the seat of my pants there.

We decided after the Sandy Hook massacre that it was okay for a few kids to die in shootings every year so that people could keep their gun rights. Thank the gun lobby. You can thank the Oil and Car lobby groups for Congress' silence o

Sure, whatever.. If Sanders were actually serious about trying to make the world a better place, he'd be more vocal about impeaching Trump and support Congress' efforts to do so. I get it, AI's an easy target.

I worked on getting an address database into elasticsearch years ago when it was still using modified tf-idf. Customers wanted FTS where a lot of the queries would be something like "100 First Ave, NY" or "200 2nd St, MN"

I made (vibed) an extension for pi that wraps their search and extract APIs. The assistant is still good and I also use it regularly. It’s also nice to not have to leave the terminal sometimes. https://github.com/themauveave

Why do you seem so desperate to characterize Aaron as some amoral super-spy hacker? His ethics are well known. He took issue with Jstor's business model of gatekeeping tax-payer-funded research behind another pay wall, stole some artic

Yes, he did that. He also settled the problem with jstor, returned the files as part of a civil settlement. This was overzealous prosecution after the affected party got their remedy.

I also find the SDK really valuable. Being able embed a truly minimal agent wherever you can run node/typescript is very powerful. Any model, any provider, full control over what it’s doing. Not a shill.. I just really like pi.

It is not. Their approach is minimalism. If you need something pi doesn’t have, the recommendation is to ask pi about it and have it build an extension for you, or look for a plugin. That said, try it. You may find you didn’t need everythin

I agree with the other commenter who replied to you. I don’t think this comes from actual parents. And the article suggests this latest push is from right-leaning groups whose goals are surveillance and censorship. That said, I’m a father o

This is also by design. Pi assumes you’re a power user and you know what you you’re doing and what you want. If sandboxing and the security that Claude and codex offer is something you truly need, pi might not be for you and that’s okay.

I doubt this is the case. It should be common knowledge at least among the people building these things that a true AGI isn’t possible with LLMs. Unless I’ve missed some advancement?

Quit shifting the goal posts. Musk is a Nazi. Or fascist human garbage if you prefer. xAi is low hanging fruit on the “don’t give money to terrible people” tree. The guy is such an easy target for boycotting.

I suppose that’s fair. I also think it’s okay for a game that’s been around as long as magic has to change a bit. Maybe an agree to disagree situation.
