Great project I was thinking about doing *exactly* the same. Do you mind sharing your stack?

Genuinely interested in understanding why you need this level of precision. To me it would seem you are removing some abstraction and getting to the details. If this something common in your line of work? E.g. in your peers? If that's

That would also just work with D E and F. Or am I missing something?

Very curious to understand the thinking behind this, why should the weekend be E and A? My first approach would be to have the weekend on D and E which would seem to be the end of the week.

Does this consistently work for you? I have something like this plus some commands that are explicitly in a deny list in the harness. Roughly twice a week, the model manages to run the deny listed commands, that I need afterwards to manuall

I find it so sad that people wasted millions of hours and lines of code rewriting over and over basic constructs that should have been on the language in the first place. How many years before we finally get sum types?

Some source or citation or context is needed here, is this the work of a 2 person no profit or a trillion valued pre IPO company?

We can have the same argument about memory unsafe languages: "it should be the programmer that checks that the memory it's accessed in a safe way and not the machine"... and yet after many years and legions of programmers not

I think that the best feature that go was able to create is a very strong community around the language, where practices are as important as the language itself. Maybe these practices are what makes the community strong?

If you have ``` a, err := f() b, err := g() if err != nil {} c:=a+b ``` The language will happily build and run, even though it should prevent to let you shoot in the foot.

We did this by using the ASTs you can go quite far without embeddings and the result is easier to debug and follow what's going on.

I implemented this for a large monorepo last year, it runs as an analysis during code review and it shows what are possible similar snippets wrt the code under review. It was a very nice project. It also allows to see across the repo what a

The kind of issues that you might face if you have dependants could be something along the lines: well Timmy, we'll need to cut your leg instead of trying solution x that might save it, because I preferred not to accept a job that woul

The salary gap in Europe is *huge*, at Meta and other big tech you can easily make 3x (after taxes) of what you'd earn in a European company for the very same position, same amount of actually worked hours. It might not be fair or migh

Someone high up said something along the lines that they want to see some progress and someone down below looking for a promotion pushed this. This has always been happening but I think before it was more difficult to justify something like

It would seem in this design that all the tools should be called through a wrapper that understands the vault and provides the credentials to the tool in the right way. How otherwise can curl use the credentials? Curl has no idea that there

What's crazy here is that a government I'd requiring de-regulation while companies are trying to keep stricter rules. What a time.

Subscribers should be aware what they are supporting. I think that keeping an OpenAI account can be considered an active support of this decision, at least for private people who can easily change providers.

> I don't see how OpenAI employees who have signed the We Will Not Be Divided letter can continue their employment [...] Sometimes money is more attractive than morality. So I guess money is the answer here.

I would have said that this is covered under vanity sizing. I have the feeling some consumers might be more inclined to buy a product if it has size M instead of XXL, even if the product is exactly the same. So my take is that, in the nam

I don't think you are wrong, I do want guardrails and personally try to ensure that there are those guardrails before driving. However, it seems that a lot of people cannot wait for them and just want to go out and drive, fast, even if

I dunno, tbh I'd be in the camp of putting a banner 'run this at your own risk' and then let it go wild. Some people are going to get burnt, probably quite bad, but I guess it's more effective to learn like that rather t

I think that Google has some partnership with Deutsche Telekom where they provide the software and Deutsche Telekom Runs it because Google doesn't have the encryption keys. In that case Google even if they want they cannot provide the

If you kill someone when drunk driving you face more serious consequences than if you weren't drunk. There should be similar consequences here you get a disease you could have vaccinated for? You pay 4 times the amount for the cure.
