Then you're doing something wrong because it's exactly what it does for me.

Corporate citizenship can indeed have dystopian outcomes
fswd··on Why Did Microsoft Build VSCode? Turns Out, GitHub Copilot
I remember in 2014 they did a Linux developer survey, and I was a part of it. In it, I suggested porting over Visual Studio to Linux. Apparently the right person read this and so then we had a follow-up meeting with three other developers, and we spoke more about the idea. I think they sent me a $25 starbucks gift card.
fswd··on APIs for content sites must be free
I have these thoughts about the homeless problem.
fswd··on Universal basic income of nearly $2000/mo to be trialed in UK for the first time
Correct.

Similarly, Food prices have dramatically gone down since they cut out the extra COVID foodstamps in my state. It's not the only reason, but I know people with like $2000 in foodstamps that don't know what to do with it

fswd··on Hard stuff when building products with LLMs
Prompts should be really easy to cut and paste from an editor to a playground. Updating a database is unnecessary friction with no real benefit.
fswd··on Hard stuff when building products with LLMs
I could add a couple things from my own experiences. Storing prompts in a database seemed like a good idea, but in practice it ended up being a disater. Storing the prompt in a python/typescript file, up front at the top, works well. Using OpenAI playground with it's ability to export a prompt works well, or even better, something in gradio running in vscode with debugging mode, works even better. Few shots with refinements works really well. LangChain did not work well for any of my cases, I might go as boldly as saying that using langchain is bad practice.

fswd··on Google has a consumer loyalty problem with their Pixel phones
A laptop with adb backup. Try searching for or putting into chatgpt "adb backup how to backup and restore my phone". Try it out on your new phone first. Essentially after installing adb, you'll need to enable a debug option on your phone first, plug it in, allow the adb command to access it, then run backup. It could take a while so make sure your laptop is fully charged.
fswd··on Google has a consumer loyalty problem with their Pixel phones
this is the funniest thing I've read today. You could get a EMI blocking blanket from amazon, wrap it around your head and open your phone to copy the data. Or drive further into the woods where there is no signal to copy the data.

Then simply let it erase itself and reinitialize it from backup.

fswd··on Tell HN: Putting mirrors around my desk improved my posture
Ha, I've done this before. To boost my confidence. It actually works. The mirror however is in the closet, maybe I should bring it out again.
fswd··on Fuck being productive
It's funny, if you say this duringg an interview "Why do you want the job?" "Money" you won't get hired. So it becomes a performance artist act.

fswd··on Sam Altman says era of remote work is over
well, as a counter point, it could be a huge win for real estate if given they could convert the office space into apartments for people which is much needed. I know these buildings aren't setup in regards to plumbing and what not, but we can adapt.

Ha, I just spent two hours hacking something up similar and I eventually just sent a system role with zod schema in the content
fswd··on Replit's new Code LLM: Open Source, 77% smaller than Codex, trained in 1 week
I can barely keep up with this stuff, but quick question. Is there a way to simply change the URL setting of copilot to point to this model? Obviously it needs an endpoint, I could hack something up, but asking if somebody has already done this? Would be nice to cancel my copilot.

fswd··on We asked the SEC for reasonable crypto rules for Americans
Dishonest, they tried to corner the crypto exchange market by raising the costs to do business by encouraging regulation. I'm so glad it bit them. Coinbase is an evil dishonest company that uses dark patterns to prevent users from getting their money out. Now they are pretending to be the victim. Please shut down coinbase and ban their execs from working with money.
