What does make it strange?

Dunno it felt out of place and forced. Just a feeling I have no data.

I also remember this amazing tiny thing, tomsrtbt. It was packed full of tools, and also had an http server in it.

Aren’t SMS that are over 160 characters being concatenated? There used to be a standard for that.

Generally yes.

I guess a phone/app could exist that does convert to MMS instead, though, since the app can make that decision.

Back in the day they used to be coherent.

Not much more than his recent posts, no.

> Ok but this entire idea is very new. Its not an honest criticism to say no one has tried the new idea when they are actively doing it.

Not really new. Back in the day companies used to outsource their stuff to the lowest bidder agencies in proverbial Elbonia, never looked at the code, and then panickedly hired another agency when the things visibly were not what was ordered. Case studies are abound on TheDailyWTF for the last two decades.

Doing the same with agents will give you the same disastrous results for comparably the same money, just faster. Oh and you can't sue them, really.

Maybe it's better, who knows.

Fair point on the Elbonia comparison. But we can't sue the SQLite maintainers either, and yet we trust them with basically everything. The reason is that open source developed its own trust mechanisms over decades. We don't have anything close to that with LLMs today. What those mechanisms might look like is an open question that is getting more important as AI generated code becomes more common.

> But we can't sue the SQLite maintainers either, and yet we trust them with basically everything.

But you don’t pay them any money and don’t enter into contractual relationship with them either. Thus you can’t sue them. Well, you can try, of course, but.

You could sue an Elbonian company, though, for contract breach. LLMs are like usual Elbonian quality with two middlemen but quicker, and you only have yourself to blame when they inevitably produce a disaster.

A computational necromancer has likely figured out a way to power a data center by making Archimedes spin in his grave very fast.

You surely mean the latency in its embedded terminal and not the code editor, right? I use VSCode’s remote SSH specifically so that code editing doesn’t suck. It really does not.

You're right, the latency is in the embedded terminal. Perhaps it is trying to run SSH inside SSH. Still, the disconnects are a pain too.

> I ran into a kernel panic specific to my macbook's hardware. How do I compile a new kernel with some extra debug printlns and boot it to figure out the panic?

1. You can find panic logs in Console.app. macOS writes them into NVRAM and stows away into files on its next boot. That will give you the process and kernel extension that was the culprit, and a stack trace.

2. sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0x122" or something like this will increase log output from the kernel. Those debug prints are probably there already. You can even attach a debugger running from somewhere else, presumably over Thunderbolt on newer machines.

It's more like people are corporations' gut bacteria that are always in dire health because the organism loves junk food of all kinds so much and sometimes is doing drugs too.
