Why not apply changes to the underlying model so that you crush every available eval?

Everyone is a decent programmer now who can solve nearly any problem with help from LLM.

New comment by orph in "Introducing Copilot+ PCs"

orph — Mon, 20 May 2024 20:44:51 +0000

It made sense when I named GitHub Copilot, since that product was a passive addition to your regular workflow.

The name was sticky enough that they've run with it, misunderstanding or ignoring that fundamental metaphor.

New business models come around very rarely. In the mean time, existing companies optimize everything they can relentlessly - that's why people own their stock.

Hono still doesn’t support request cancellation well.

So if you’re streaming tokens from an LLM and you cancel the request from the client you’ll be wasting money.

New comment by orph in "My total comp for creating GitHub Copilot"

This is the correct take. Copilot impossible without the years of work from the brilliant people at OpenAI, VScode, Azure, and GH.

Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.

I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAI deal using those test results.

Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAI's.

I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get VScode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.

I named it Copilot.

I implemented GH auth, made the waitlist and onboarding. Helped design the e2e http/2 go server, after designing the fast.ly based precursor. Coordinated moving from OpenAI datacenter to Azure to improve Asia experience, and oversaw the cutover.

I was Chief Architect. It was my baby. Sad if this is how they are spinning the story internally at GitHub today.

Minion.AI | Hardcore frontend hacker | SF or Remote | Full-time

I made GitHub Copilot. Now I'm making an AI assistant on the web. Today it can order pizza, answer questions about articles, toggle settings, fill out forms, buy plane tickets, etc.

I need someone who understands the web deeply to help on frontend and internal tooling.
