GPUI works well for Zed, but it's built for Zed's needs only. There is no official crates.io udates. Breaking changes land as Zed needs them, and outside PRs often get declined causing a mess of several forks.

If they had chosen something like AGPL, they would have had comments saying noone is going to use it.

Can't make everyone happy.

You should do it, so we find out.

(But my guess is that such Terms of Services are not considered accepted only by visiting or crawling the website. There probably need to be at least a clock through performed by an human)

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that crawling is a gray area. By putting that into their terms of service that most of the planet is agreeing to, they protect themselves in the case someone complains.

Also, this is about crawling and has little to do with the license of the contents.

Using GitHub everyday, I haven't really noticed an improved performance. Actually i'd say pages are becoming slower. Browsing issues with many comments or big PR has a terrible experience as not everything gets loaded

This is so wildly incorrect I don't even know where to start.

For one, as you said yourself, they were just programmed to compute the probability of the next token. They were not programmed to play chess, chess games just happened to be in the training data.

For another, there is no formal definition of "understand", and it is therefore impossible to tell whether or not they "understand". (But my claim was that one need to understand something to write poem about it. And the LLM can write poem about it)

He was referring to this basilisk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk

In short, this is the believe that a god-like AI could punish them retroactively, for not having done all that was in their power to create this AI.

(A bit similar to some religious believe that a god could punish you after your death if you did not spend your live "pleasing" said god during your life)

I'm order to guess the next token in a love poem, they must understand love. In order to predict the next token in a chess game between grand master, they must master chess. In order to predict the next token in a computer program, they need to be able to program anything.

They gain all these abilities in their training. That's what training does. Despite no one programmed them to master chess, or hack into anything.

It is the run-time performance of the compiler depending on its implementation language. So totally relevant.

I just saw the news that you raised another 1.2 billion. Congrats!

If I may ask how do you actually plan to make money? Because as far as I can tell, you're still losing a lot of money on every oven you give away.

Örebropartiet is not Al Qaeda nor a terrorist organisation. They can have a controversial position, but I'm not sure it is worse than the position of the republican party in the US which has many supporters amongst CEO of big tech companies.

I don't see why that's the case. LLM trained on binary would totally see it, not?

Also the tool can also be running the test and a debugger.

Web UI is fine for web applications, obviously.

But for desktop applications it is bloated, a big attack surface.

HTML/CSS is made for online documents, and using it for applications is a bit hack that happen to work, but hides a huge ton of complexity behind frameworks and frameworks of frameworks with leaky abstractions and each their own caveat.

Do you need evidence that "Natural doesn't mean healthy or good for the environment"?

Asbestos, is "natural". So is Arsenic. And CO2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

Or do you need evidence that the bio labels are not optimizing for health or environment? Check the rules. Most of them are just there to restrict synthetic products, regardless of their impact.
