<p>> So, MS builds VSCode - doesn't even fork Atom to do so. Looks identical to it. They built it from scratch. Bigger. Slower.<p>Someone needs to fix a memory leak here.<p>Atom was famously slow. Even among people using it and championing it.<p>VSCode totally wowed people not just because it was faster, but because it was essentially the first «real» Electron-app which proved Electron-apps could have near native performance.<p>You got this part 100% backwards.</p>

<p>I think a better frame would be «how could the maintainers have responded in a constructive, collaborative way upon learning about the tooling not being compliant with Emacs-standards, in a way which have helped land what was clearly a good faith effort aiming to make Emacs better?»<p>Outright rejecting the patches was IMO not a pragmatic or constructive choice and <i>will</i> drive the wrong incentives wether you morally approve of it or not.</p>

<p>He made a patch in good faith, not knowing about these rules.<p>He’s point is that because he was coming at this with an honest, open approach he saw his work rejected.<p>His observation is that this will reward dishonest submissions which are NOT made in good faith. Ie rewarding the wrong things.<p>Incentives drives the outcome. What incentives does this give people?</p>

<p>Did you review the code in question and end up rating it slop, or are you just reflexively calling anything AI-generated slop?<p>Humans can produce garbage code. As can AI. So therefore the process around the code matters, and it seems clear to me the author has had a reasonable process around the code, as opposed to blindly accepting some 1-shotted output.<p>To me this looks like good use of AI.</p>

<p>> You are greatly underestimating the <i>current</i> hardware requirements for productive local LLMs.<p>Fixed that for you. Right now most models produced are based on floating point maths and probabilities, which is "expensive" to do math on.<p>Microsoft has researched 1-bit LLMs which can run much more efficiently, and on much cheaper hardware[1].<p>If this research is reproducable and reusable outside their research models, this means the cost of running self-hosted LLMs will be reduced by an order of magnitude once this hits mainstream.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet</a></p>

<p>> Very few people with LinkedIn profiles read the social feed.<p>I read somewhere that in Norway (small sample, yes I know) LinkedIn is supposedly a more popular social network than X/Twitter.<p>You can have whatever opinion you mean about Elon, X, free speech and whatever. I'm not here to have that discussion.<p>All that considered, as a Norwegian this had me quite surprised. I don't have the source anymore, but I'd love to dig into it to see what sort of metrics they use to measure this sort of popularity.<p>Literally nobody I know uses LinkedIn except for business-SPAM.</p>
