  It looks so cool, I would need to add tab completion (nasty Linux habit) and then Norton Commander and then I would be home, are there any step files and parts list, I couldn’t see them in the repo?

  Sounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.

  I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.

  In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:

  • Adding comments
  • Writing docstrings
  • Writing git commit messages
  • Simple tasks on small pieces of code

  Here’s a link to the paper “Tiny Pointers” arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 those editors at Quantamagazine writes their summary in a strange fashion, for instance using x in stead of n which is normally used in computer science when talking about big O notation.

  Same here, the journey is over when you reach Xen it’s just some mopping up that’s left.

  And when I reach the Citadel in HL2 it’s also a tossup if I continue.

  Congratulations!

  You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume everything including GSM calls is IP/packet based nowadays, unless your phone has switched to 1G

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.

  Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.
