Google has 2.8k public repositories on just their main github account (github.com/google).

Even if they're not training on their closed source internal codebases (which they most certainly are, but fair point that they're probably not releasing the models trained on that data), it definitely seems like they have a lot of Go code in the training data.

It's very good at Go, which makes sense because I'm assuming it's trained on a lot of Google's code

Big fan of pico.sh, been hosting a few small sites on there for a while now, no faster way to get something up and running

Is anyone else unable to access stack overflow? I'm getting a black page and an HTTP 418 "I'm a teapot" response code

Can't read the article due to paywall, but potentially ambergris? It's a form of whale excrement that washes up on the shore and can sell for ~$10k USD/pound

May be resolved, or just spotty? I was able to load the page itself but tweets and any trending information were all out, seeing a lot of similar reports
