> If the conversation feels risky or off, saying less and giving shorter replies is safer and less likely to cause harm.

Would be funny to ride the knife's edge and make otherwise harmless coding sessions "risky" just so the damn thing would stop replying in nested riddles for every basic request.

Ohh fnox looks really cool, with encryption being one possible provider but something like Vault being another. Thanks for the recommendation.

Interesting to see that PyTorch has become the de-facto standard after it seemed for a while that the dust had settled on Tensorflow.

I also thought that Jax would in turn take over after PyTorch but it never seemed to quite take off (still in use though from what I can tell).

I'm honestly more surprised that they could resist the temptation to call it Copilot

Yeah, there's a good reason why I have a lot of criticisms about CSS and only some about, say, QT. It's because I spent the last 15+ years writing CSS in some way or another and one extended summer of hacking a side project in QT, abandoning it, and never looking back.

Completely agree. In uni, I (re)-learned about vectors in linear algebra, and for a good chunk of the course, we didn't write anything in "standard vector notation". We learned about vector axioms first, and then vectors were treated as "anything that satisfies the vector axioms". (When doing more practical examples, we just used the reals instead of something like R^3, but the entire time it was clear that for any proof, anything that can be added and multiplied in the way that the vector axioms describe would fit.) I think adopting this structuralist view really helps with a lot of mathematical studies.
