    Almost all about open weight, but the title says Open Source.

    Google wave rides again! I'd say the thing with email that most improvements would need improved standards? That said, as with the emacs user example, the ability to automatically …

    Except it's often faster to make the change yourself than explain it to an AI.

    I don't like that word, which was previously a common part of my vocabulary, being forever ruined?

    I think the fact you need tool calling to stop it doing that, shows the underlying issue with trusting it to do anything without a human

    Useful tool, and if you're just scratching a small itch it's great. For any serious system you still need to understand and guide the code, and unless you do some of the coding.. Y…

    This is a good parallel. In the 90s when I learned to drive I was quite good at navigating. Now google maps is on a screen in my car telling me where to go whenever I drive beyond …

    Good to have more than a hammer in your toolbox!

    I assume you mean open weight models? I wish we had better open source models. It would make LLMs far less icky if we had nice clean open trained models. A breakthrough on the cost…

    I think Gemini might be wise to rename, now there's a commercial product trampling all over it's namespace.

    emacs users who are hostile to you configuring things, aren't really getting the point IMO :)

    We've seen this process before. If you don't pay, you are the product.

    Sort of except it seems the more the co-worker does the job it atrophies my ability to understand.. So soon we'll all be that annoyingly ignorant manager saying, "I don't know, I w…

    This to me is the point.. LLMs can't be responsible for things. It sits with a human.

    I think that's an optimistic interpretation of how good LLMs are? But I think the reality is: LLMs democratise access to coding. In a way this decreases the market for complete sol…

    I was just about to post that it didn't affect us (heavy AWS users, in eu-west-1). Buut, I stopped myself because that was just massively tempting fate :)

    But it's pretty much a given at this point that if you use agents to code for any length of time it starts to atrophy your ability to understand what's going on. So, yeah. it's a b…

    Yes, but then they also redefined what that means half way through.
