The announcement didn't read as AI-generated to me at all. Of course this is far from foolproof, but ZeroGPT says 0% AI.

I'm curious what you think makes this better than the dozens of sites out there that have the same goal?

Some changes certainly can be. If the model produces the exact same output for a fixed seed across a variety of inputs after a code change, I think it's reasonable to expect that t…

This depends on what your workflow is. There are use cases for tokenization that don't always involve immediately feeding the text into a model.

Cloudflare did not develop QuePaxa, although I'm sure they did a lot of work to operationalize it. The original protocol is from a SOSP 2023 paper. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3…

Worth noting if it wasn't obvious from the article that Cloudflare did not develop QuePaxa. It's from an SOSP paper back in 2023[0]. The article is discussing what is the first kno…

I don't see a problem with the tool either really, it's just a pet peeve of mine to call what it produces an ER diagram when it's really a diagram of the relational model defined b…

I think most successful ORMs have an additional layer of semantics beyond what can be directly expressed in SQL. For example, Active Record has multiple types of associations (belo…

Inheritance is one case. In an ER diagram, you may have Employee and Client entities which both inherit from a Person entity. You could choose to have these represented as a single…

Aside from what else is mentioned in the sibling comment, inheritance is another big one. Inheritance is not explicit in SQL and in fact, when going from ER to SQL, there are multi…

The tool looks very cool! But IMO you can't get an ER diagram from SQL since entities are fundamentally different from tables. They are certainly very similar, but SQL alone doesn'…

MacOS, Ghostty, Neovim, Pi (with a fair bit of customization to each). I'm relatively new to Pi after using Codex pretty heavily, but it's nice to be able to customize things to ho…

I think that's a fair take. I think we definitely still need specs that describe the desired behavior as an artifact. But documentation describing the implementation definitely fee…

Humans also tend to forget to update documentation and the same confusion happens. I don't think it's really a new problem.

That depends on what the software is. If you want to run a service that bonds to a privileged port for example, you need sudo.

I don't think it's that simple, but I do think a lot of the problems mentioned are not inherent to the use of AI.

We have some very heavy users of Codex in my org and we're very happy with the quality (politics aside).

The problem in most of those cases is not specifically AI. Many of the issues you cited are related to Anthropic specifically and many could have been avoided with better testing.

I'm not saying our experience is unimportant. I'm talking about how we communicate what colors are. I'm not an expert by any means, but it seems like the way we communicate a share…

The scenario you're describing seems like more of a language thing than a perception thing. We generally learn names of colors by references to common objects. I would argue that i…

> no reason why future devices couldn't bundle 256GB of mem by default Cost is a pretty big reason.

This article[0] provides some details. Basically if you go through the lookup process on Apple's website and you don't have an existing D-U-N-S number, you can request one from D&B…

At least part of that in my experience seems to be a desire to cover a number of edge cases that may not be practically relevant.

On this note, one thing I've found Codex to do is worry more than necessary about breaking changes for internal APIs. Maybe a bit more prompting would fix this, but I found even wh…

One thing I've found that I've found super helpful for this is converting profiling results to Markdown and feeding it back into the agent in a loop. I've done it with a bit of man…
