First impressions are good! Couple of small bits of feedback: - I only had the option to create a worktree from main. I'd like to be able to pick any starting branch. Not a big deal, I just told claude to checkout the branch I wanted a

What happens if you combine a full Dungeons & Dragons rules engine with an LLM to act as the dungeon master? Until the recent wave of reasoning models, the answer was mostly 'nothing coherent', but Claude 3.7 with thinking is

This is very cool! It's not as impressive, but here is a video of me writing Game of Life only by speaking out loud to VS Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NSplhZ0DlY I did that by building an open source VS Code

A lot of people are commenting about how gpt4 is better than copilot, both in terms of getting it to do exactly what you want and in the quality of response. I've also found this and so I wrote a simple VS Code coding assistant that u

'if X is true then I expect to see evidence of X' is generally a reasonable assumption/prior. So not seeing evidence of X is evidence that X is false. It's not proof, but absence of evidence generally is evidence of abse

I was part of creating the initial version of https://www.swapmyvote.uk/ that ran in the 2015 and 2017 general elections. My experience of it was that it was a slow ramp up, but the final week leading up to the general elec

I drive a van, and that absolutely has a blind spot on the far side from the driver, no matter what I do with my head. The problem is that there are no rear passenger side windows to look through, and you can't see into the blind spot

Thanks for the suggestion! We have played around with pandoc as an option in the ShareLaTeX compiler, but we weren't able to get it working smoothly enough for us to be happy with it. But it's definitely on our radar.

Hey, James from ShareLaTeX here. We’re very excited about what this means for ShareLaTeX and Overleaf! The blog post says most of what we wanted to say, but all four founders from ShareLaTeX and Overleaf are around this evening (we’re in th

Thanks for the kind words about ShareLaTeX! It's always great to hear that people have enjoyed it. The open source nature of ShareLaTeX isn't just about being good internet citizens, it's also been core to the ShareLaTeX busi
