Yes, that's exactly what T3Code does. https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/2095453990980817301

And if I am not mistaken, Theo’s T3Code (which was explicitly told was bad), doesn’t even use anything else than AI producer provider command line tools and use them with `-p`.

Lovely, so yet another promise to federate which will never materialise! Still going with the Drew’s reply in https://is.gd/5wwQy2 (yes, two years old, and he slightly softened his stand since then): > SourceHut is alrea

You said SHOULD. Yes, I absolutely agree that politicians (and I very intentionally do not call any names) should be criminally punished most harshly for abusing their position for personal enrichment or for some other egoistical goals. On

I didn’t mean to be pedantic. My experience with Jujutsu was as bad as with Mercurial (and hg-git, I believe?) … after couple of hours working with my repo ( https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/m2crypto ), looking at it with git, I

If you say that you can work only with JJ and never use git, you are delusional. For one, where is that JJ forge (i.e., the equivalent of Sourcehut)?

You cannot give millions of USD to potential authors if you are tiny webserver-running small business. That’s what the article was all about.

yes, I haven’t managed for a week, but I tried to Jujutsu and gave up. It is too complicated for no visible gain. Plus, there is no infrastructure supporting it (in the end, you store the stuff in the crippled git repositories). `git commit

Yeah, we are just paying customers, who cares about us, right?

I don’t think it is that simple. Itanium was for years supported for example by RHEL (including GCC working of course, if anybody cared enough they could invest into optimising that), it is not like the whole fiasco happened in one moment.

Lived for some time five minutes walking from the Clock, and so I can heartily appreciate the old Prague joke: “Daddy, why they call it the tourist season, when we cannot shoot them?”

I am a Czech as well, and although I know exactly what you are talking about, I have found my own way towards Švejk lately. I am afraid (all of them awesome artists, but too much pushing the novel in the humour direction) Lada, Hrušínský, a

Švejk is too much slanted by the expectations of “just funny” and by (absolutely awesome, but too nice) illustrations by Josef Lada. When listening to the audio version of the book, I was shocked how actually horrific story it is. I have me

by mcepl 3y ago
Yes, they are only hilarious. Švejk on the other hand is in my opinion much more serious. One Czech literary critic call it even “Kafka by other means”. Yes, Hašek was a satiric writer, so that’s how he wrote, but Švejk is IMHO actually a s

Isn’t this a great example, why epidemiologists shouldn’t write in C++? Aren’t there some Python modules for this kind of stuff? Edit: Oh this is very old code, that could be an excuse.
