Glad you were able to restore the commit history.

With all the lack of authority of a random software developer on the Internet (but feel free to check my post history), I see the GitHub repo and its commit history as important and answers a few questions.

How old is this project ? (If one commit, I have no time range, so I have no way to know how long it has been worked on .)

Is it regularly updated? (If one commit, I can't tell the pace of updates)

Is it just one person, or a few people, or a community? (If only one commit, cannot see how many other people are available to support the project.)

If a project has no issues (no user complaints), then it's probably not used by anyone -- throw a rock and you can get one person to complain about how you changed the scenery, one person to complain about it being loud, one person to complain about how you threw it unergonomicly, and one person to criticize your accuracy. :) If it has no issues then probably no users.

Does it have any merged PRs? Open PRs? (If no merged PRs then presumably you do not really accept them? No way to know for sure but it's a signal.)

Of course these metrics can be gamed. But if you literally have only one commit, no issues, no PRs, then it's like declaring your restaurant is open for business but all the lights are off, there are no patrons, waiters, cooks, and there is a single to-go box on the table with a small bell next to it. Or it's a museum with only one exhibit and no docents or guests. It's just incredibly odd to see no history for a project.

I definitely have looked at Zed editor's default prompt and thought "I hope this is worth the 7k tokens it costs me every session...."

Basically naive CAP theorem assumes "no latency (delay) allowed", in which case, yeah, sure, the quorum must agree or you are writing to a split-brain quorum somehow. But what if delay sensitivity is a knob that can be tuned, and writes have conflict resolution?

Martin Kleppmann's book Designing Data-Intensive Applications is considered a useful tome for anyone who needs a insight in the complexity involved in distributed systems (hint: getting data in ram flushed to an SSD also involves multiple moving parts)

Huh? You don't have to be tested as-a-child, you don't have to call up your fourth grade teacher. You can self report your subjective experience.

"Did you have these problems as a child? Have you always had trouble doing your homework? Did stressing out about homework enable you to do the homework?"

They ask the question a few different ways typically.

I get it, perhaps it is different in your area, but I get the impression that an adult ADHD diagnosis is far from impossible.

Nvidia has a market cap of $5T USD today, and a decent chunk of that is due to LLM speculation.

Does Nvidia want their stock price to be at risk of being tanked by a download service being in the news? No, they want to make sure the party keeps going and is under their direct supervision, and part of that is making sure Hugging Face isn't bought by a competitor or runs out of money.

I also think your instincts are on a useful path. Perhaps using a very small and stupid LLM to generate plausible-sounding-but-probably-wrong programs might be a path to generating interesting test cases?

If you want a challenging open source deterministic game to test, may I suggest Beyond All Reason, powered by the Spring / Recoil engine? It's an RTS game that's been in various incarnations of development for 20+ years. (Disclosure: I'm an occasional code contributor to the project).

So you have to

(a) repeatedly query incremental date ranges, with some overlap (b) deal with late arriving rows

(c) deal with occasional bugs where a bug in a sproc caused the timestamp not to update

(d) query each day for all primary keys and remove rows that had been deleted (but only if you have newer data, otherwise you delete old values but don't have the updates)

(e) Sweat about if this goes wrong on a large table, how can you rapidly determine what state is out of sync? (Idea: how do I "hash" this in a way that hints at where the problem is?)

(f) Deduplicate, as mentioned

Martin Kleppmann's "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" book has some detailed discussions of some of the challenges...

...at the cost of it being burned in forever. Non-programmable.

At least Excel has the courtesy to telling you "Hey the copy-paste buffer said it didn't catch that, can you try again?"

Linux Wayland (Ubuntu 26.04)

I don't buy it.

There have been recent weeks where some of the mid-level models (Hy3, Laguna M.1) are free (true for parts of June and July, see Hy3 in Cyan) . Even then the total token usage appears to be reaching a steady-state.

^ the first graph is tokens per week across all models

I guess we just can only throw ideas at an LLM at a certain rate.

I still have ideas and now I can have an LLM vibe code what I want, but I'm not going to let an agent just run unattended for longer than a few minutes or a few bucks for hobby projects.

So maybe it is a matter of lowering the cost of an LLM so I can let it churn for hours at a cost of pennies... But I suspect demand for tokens is very price-elastic.

The spiral pattern is an excellent example. "Sure it looks like this when you zoom out, but when you zoom in, you can see the finer structure of the points..."

Elixir's exhaustive pattern matching and gradual type checking is also on my radar.

I guess I don't know what you mean by effects typing.

(a) sellers of hardware (Nvidia, IBM) and those who rent hardware out to others (Amazon, Microsoft)

They want open models because they don't have to license it to run it on their hardware, so they can offer lower cost and inspect what they are offering to clients

(b) open model creators (Arcee, Perplexity, Mistral, IBM, Microsoft)

...who would be unable to work if open-weight models are banned

(c) Software-heavy companies ( Mozilla, The Linux Foundation , ServiceNow, Microsoft, IBM, heck all of them)

...who want models that are cheap to run because that reduces the cost of running an LLM (whether you are trying to replace a software developer or just assist them, the value of a reduced cost LLM is directionally the same)

Look through the provider list for a company you are willing to do business with?

I would say "it's risky and requires a lot of labor to migrate without corruption, loss of data" and also minimizing downtime. Sure anyone can run pg_backup, but can you do it across 90 databases? Can you do it live? Can you coordinate rollout of the process, cutover, and monitor for failure? What's the cost of egress for this? Is the team your A-team or the B-team? Can you trust this to the B-team? Is it worth having this team spend all this time on a migration rather than, say, getting something new set up, or optimizing performance on an existing system?

I'm a database guy, but the same migration argument is presumably also extra work for (say) blob storage, networking, etc.

Since LLMs are stateless by their current implementation, switching to "the same open-weight model running in a different datacenter run by a different vendor" is "just" switching the API endpoint. (If they are the exact same shape, it's fine, if they differ somehow, there's perhaps some work to do there, fixing things and monitoring for failures on switch-over)

There are several open APIs it seems and OpenRouter.ai is doing a fine job making a commodity out of models and datacenters.

Glancing through the docs, I would be digging down in the config of both Android studio and lm studio for either a TTL or jit auto evict setting, and if you find it, set it to some large number measured in hours?

You didn't specify what was serving your local model.
