Python@programming.dev•OpenAI to Acquire Astral (maker of uv, ruff)
2·26 days agoI am sceptical, but hopeful. The Codex CLI is open source, so I’m somewhat hopeful it’ll stay open source. My only worry is that they’ll take too many people off the tools, stalling the development of uv, ruff and ty.
PS: Can we get a pytest alternative? It’s so slow :(

1·1 month agoEspecially since between Claude and Codex, Claude seems to have NO issues breaking things, while Codex is “I’ve ensured that the old path still works, and also fixed a bug I ran into”.
- Claude is Facebook (“Move fast and break things”)
- Codex is Linux (“We do not break userspace!”)

No, it’s not. It means “a good song”.
Nothing on UrbanDictionary, nothing on even Google. What is this nonsense?
Sexual equality has ceased to exist online.
It never existed in the first place, so there’s that.
Anyway, yeah, internet bad. Time to ban all sub-16 children from Social Media. It’s been long overdue.

Technology@lemmy.world•Unredacted files reveal Anthropic’s ‘secret plan’ to ‘destructively scan all the books in the world'English
3·2 months agoThe claim was “Yet most AI models can recite entire Harry Potter books if prompted the right way, so that’s all bullshit.”
In this test they did not get a model to produce an entire book with the right prompt.
For context: These two sentences are 46 Tokens/210 Characters, as per https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer.
50 tokens is just about two sentences. This comment is about 42 tokens itself.
Very much reminds me of Casey Muratori’s “Philosophies of Optimization” talk where he mentioned what he calls “pessimization” - instead of optimizing (making a program do a thing faster), pessimize it - make it do less.
The less a program does/needs to do, the faster it will be.
