Two decades. It was founded in 2005
I’m surprised we aren’t seeing it more already. LLMs suddenly make it reasonable to maintain multiple native apps. I’d love to see this start to supplant Electron and its ilk.
The part that keeps me coming back is when it writes a feature I need with an hour of direction instead of two days of my time.
I agree with the other commenter. Your English is perfectly good. Your subjective experience is your own and I can’t disagree with that. I’m working from a place where my employer pays for my tokens so I’m also not…
My point is that the analogy is inherently bad. The fact that LLMs are somewhat inconsistent doesn’t make them like gambling.
You went off on a tangent and I responded. None of this is actually relevant to the topic of whether LLMs are “basically gambling”. > In what way was amazing no-traffic "a reward"? What system was rewarding you for what…

I don’t see much similarity beyond the most superficial. If you sit at a slot machine and pump quarters into it, each “turn” is independent. You spin and you win or lose. It’s pure chance and there is no destination.…
This is not my experience with current AI models at all. But regardless you are not describing anything that sounds like gambling. You are describing a weird hallucinogenic experience.
I see this sentiment pretty regularly, and I don’t get it. Variable rewards is not sufficient to establish that it is “ basically gambling”. Everything in life is variable reward. You invite a friend over, they might…
They absolutely are. But this doesn’t mean that they won’t unwind those couplings. It just means it will be hard and take time.

I suppose that’s also reasonable, though this particular repo also hosts evals and other content related to the skill. So a gist seems like it would be an addition, not a replacement.
A public repo is the easiest way to share something like this.
The reality seems to be that for decades Europe gave only lip service to decoupling from American tech infrastructure, but in the last couple of years America has gone from being seen as a strong ally to being a major…
Consider that three people have given you substantially similar feedback about your “candor”. Your attempt at a “personal voice” here comes off extremely fake. Compare your proposed “candid” message with the actual…

You keep talking about “taking responsibility”. Unless the person taking responsibility is also taking action, which you aren’t even proposing, then it’s just words. It’s more sugar coating. “It’s not you, it’s me.” >…
That’s not candid. It’s candy. It borderline infantilizing and buries the message under a bunch of saccharine. I can practically see the fake smile plastered across the face of the manager saying this. I would be…
I think the real point is that this is a random email that Gates sent to some execs sharing a bad experience with the product, and some people on HN are trying to take it as a much deeper thing than it really is. A…
