    That's not really a fair comparison, no? Modern LLMs are much more capable than GPT-2. We'ld need a modern LLM trained on exclusively old data, and that might be impossible

    No, it can't. It's going to be an interesting legal challenge. Also, the European Court of Justice has, to the best of my knowledge, not ruled on this yet, either. The fact fight i…

    This shows, once more, that humans are bad with modes. You have two copies of the repo, one in a transaction and one not in a transaction. The problem is that the thing you use to …

    1 and 2 are really only an issue if you vibe code. There's no reason to expect properly reviewed AI assisted code to be any worse than human written code. In fact, in my experience…

    I'm always so confused by the advice to go to bookstores to meet people. What kind of bookstores do you guys go to where the customers talk with each other?
