React? We can all criticize it, but it has revolutionized the web. Llama. Did you forget what sparked the whole open-weight wave? It was that. I dislike Meta, but I would not criticize the engineers competence. They have done impressive things, check out their blog if you genuinely are curious.

I guess the point with this to facilitate usage of IPv6.

Is anyone using the vscode extension of Codex? Its insane how brittle it is.

Just a couple of days ago, it was completely broken for about a week before it got somewhat fixed again. When I say fixed, I mean basic functionality is working again but bugs and regressions are still left. There are multiple issues tracking the same problems. The community have even started to patch the extension themselves as a workaround until its adressed.

You know whats even crazier? There are like a new release every other day with lots of commits and changes, yet it still in a bad shape. I have turned off autoupdate for Codex extension for this reason. The only extension I’ve had to.

I mean, it doesn’t take that much work to have some tests in the pipeline to make sure the extension continue to work, it almost feels like they are purposely doing this.

I have now experienced the consequences of ”move fast and break things”. I realize how much software quality means to me. Its not fun being on the receiving end, especially when it affects my daily workflow.

If any of you, see anyone hype up LLMs again, please refer them to the state of Codex vscode extension.

Reminds me of the Vibe.d web framework for D lang. Good memories.

Its incredible how much changes Mandani is doing to benefit the citizens. I start to wonder what the prior mayors was even doing.

You gave me a good laugh, cheers!

The novelty isn't binary patching itself. Its the the barrier to entry. Manually locating an bug in compiled code and calculating offsets used to require good skills and knowledge in the domain. Here, someone described the symptoms in a prompt (reminder, still plain English) and got an binary patch without touching a disassembler. To me, that's unbelievable.

The Chinese labs aren’t constraining their models as much as Western labs do. That’s why HF used GLM. If you remember the early times with how Gemini (Bard then) and Claude refused almost everything, you’d despise the idea of guardrailing. (Its important in some areas though)

That’s unbelievable. To be able to locate and fix bugs by patching the binary.

Cmon, there is more space for a better descriptive title than just putting the domain there.
