Oh I'm 1000% in agreement with you. I think Copilot for programming is more expensive than it's worth right now, both for my employer and for Microsoft.

OpenAI et al have done nothing to address the fundamental issue of hallucinations. In code hallucinations are pretty quickly evident: your IDE immediately throws up error highlights whenever the code complete fucks up.

The latest open AI model is to chain together a computational centipede to try and create reasoning structures out of stochastic processes. It takes longer and still doesn't fix the issues. In their own demo video there are clear bugs with the "code" their 4o model writes.

Ish.

You'll have assertions that are entirely new or different, other pieces of setup or teardown. It really is one of the best use cases for GH's Copilot that I've run across.

In my day to day the intellij autocomplete is what I prefer.

Yeah my usage of it is similarly limited. But the plagiarism engine is more useful than it is annoying in my experience. Especially in writing kdoc or unit test variations. Write one, write the name of the next, have autocomplete fill it out with the expected conditional variation

The plagiarism engine effect is exactly what you need for a good programming tool. Most problems you're ever going to encounter are solved and GenAI becomes a very complex code autocomplete.

An LLM constructed only out of open source data could do an excellent job as a tool in this capacity. No theft required.

For writing prose it's absolutely trash, and everyone using it for that purpose should feel ashamed.

That's because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.

Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.

And I don't see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it's that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture's food and bend it to their preferences.

But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.

That's Pizza Americana though

... Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

The eye is literally a part of your brain poking out of a hole in your skull. It's really hard to transplant. It's nearly impossible to get sight from a transplanted eye:

There are on average ~7 million cone cells and ~92 million rod cells in the eye, each of which has its own separate nerve connection that runs all the way into the occipital lobe.

This guy would be the first person to ever get vision from a transplant.

TSMC is an exceptionally high paying job in Taiwan and they can't go anywhere else.

You're not abusing extremely high skill workers who can easily get a new job elsewhere. Not if you want high profit margins.

Americans in Massachusetts are able to install solar panels and run their house.

It's not like a cloudy day means 0% generation
