The last 1000 times someone has said "nah bro AI was bad last year but this year it's good trust" have been wrong, I am also comfortable being informed by evidence.

In this particular case it means the Nx ecosystem, which is a solid Numpy alternative.

They're fairly large (larger than lowercase letters in the header text, comparable to uppercase). Glad you were able to fix it since you prefer them much larger.

Another angry all-caps rant in an agents file (cf. "NEVER FUCKING GUESS"). As the operator of this tool which you used to delete your production database, you should at least know that angry all-caps ranting pushes the big textual probability engine into the space of things associated with abusive ranting.

I wouldn't do it this exact way either but the benefit is "having any local throwaway integration branch" vs. having none at all. You don't need to do it this exact way to have one.

The "A" in "AGI" doesn't stand for "Apocalypse", you know.

It made some sense as a goalpost when the frontier of "AI" was "a computer plays, specifically, Go really well", now that typical ones are quite general it's just a floating signifier people should probably stop using for anything.

It's interesting to see the strange workflows that come from jujutsu users, as someone who works on git workflows.

There's some counterproductive stuff in there from my perspective but at its core you're keeping up a throwaway integration branch, which is helpful practice if you'll ever care about an integration. It's annoying with git because the interface for updating your throwaway integration branch is very clunky and easy to get wrong.

I think you should revisit the word "just", its presence in the comment you're trying to discuss, and how it's used.

While this is a perfectly fine policy in the space of possible policies (it's probably what I'd pick, for what it's worth) the arguments being given for it leave a bad taste in my mouth.

You can pry my em dash—short for "Emily's dash", after the poet—from my cold dead hands.

Just like with NFTs, this is all going to discredit the actually sensible use cases for years.

Yeah, what you're going to get is more efficient proofs: you can do induction on one case to get results about elementary functions. Not sure where anyone's getting computational efficiency thoughts from this.
