I wonder if there's a place for something like matrix, but for repositories (or maybe matrix protocol can handle that?). A world where we have selfhosted, saas, etc, but all interlinked and searchable? Say I find a project on gitlab, I want to contribute to, I checkout to my personal server (or someone elses hosted), and raise a pr back to original repo. I know it doesn't answer your question, just thinking aloud really.

> if the agent has difficulty generating Haskell code then that suggests agents aren't capable of reliably generalizing beyond their training data.

doesn't that apply to flesh-and-bone developers? ask someone who's only working in python to implement their current project in haskell and I'm not so sure you'll get very satisfying results.

I think it's anything but logical, if users (like yourself) have no idea what those settings are, as evident from your previous post.

May be it's just me, but the very first example (contacts form) looks better (easier to read) on the left than text in empty space on the right (which is supposed to be the good design)...

But not all of us are working in the open air office... Brightly lit office after 5pm in winter (ie after sunset) doesn't mean dark mode is the best option.

For anyone not familiar with acronyms (like me), VTOL stands for "Vertical Take-Off and Landing".

Extending this line of thought I wonder why tesla didn't make cars on two legs and insisted on using wheels?

(Just wanted to make sure - this is not a stab at you, I'm well aware that the original argument is from tesla)

I think this might be a matter of personal preferences. Personally I find GMail very confusing, and not that user friendly.

FastMail UI is so much more intuitive. For me.

Sure. But who’s going to do all those boring tickets? I know people need to work for themselves, but this just feels so wrong.

I agree. I don’t know where this obsession comes from. Obsession with resembling as close to humans as possible. We’re so far from being perfect. If you need proof just look at your teeth. Yes, we’re relatively universal, but a screwdriver is more efficient at driving in screws that our fingers. So please, stop wasting time building perfect universal robots, build more purpose-build ones.

Or even as a pedestrian. I'm sure AI will be fine to slow down if it sees a massive puddle and avoid soaking everyone in 3m radius just for lolz.

IMO the reality is:

"the police are total idiots with no [...] knowledge of the law [...]" AND "are willingly corrupt and will brazenly break the law to line their own pockets"

> As far as I could tell, it’s because the CEO or CTO didn’t think the type of work they were doing was worth doing, and also didn’t think they were making a difference.

So the CEO/CTO weren't able to express their concerns and priorities and instead just fired the whole team?

If, as you say, there were no financial reasons, then the team could've been re-purposed to do more meaningful (at least in CEO/CTO eyes) work.

I think it depends on how the question is constructed: - I want to do X, how do I do it? - I was thinking of doing X to achieve Y, wonder if that's a good idea?

Sometimes, I really want to do X, I know it may be questionable, I know the safest is "probably don't want to do it", and yet, that's not someone else's (or LLMs) business, I know exactly what I want to do, and I'm asking if anyone knows HOW, not IF.

So IMO it's not a flaw, it's a very useful feature, and I really do hope LLMs stay that way.
