People dming me as if openai is going to turn off gpt in the next week. People of that level of integrity towards their leader, are likely going to have the same level of an integrity with their product, their service, and their customer.

copilot was massive step jump for coding assistance but feels like we're now trying to do the equivalent of skipping straight to l5 self-driving i want gpt-4 completion and Q/A with human-in-the-loop mostly automated context building.

@goodside if you do this without using underscore it’s a nice trick. the underscore makes it confusing as hell tho because most readers assume it’s an unused argument.

incredible how much alpha there is in grokking an unknown codebase using a good debugger. directly seeing call-flow and variables change over time results in the shortest possible feedback loop on creating and testing hypotheses.

the lack of copilot and format-on-save in xcode is atrocious. the two biggest productivity gains in the last 10 years are simply not available. almost makes me want to go with react-native.

it's interesting how modality changes interaction patterns. a good speech-to-speech model should be able to interrupt and be interrupted, but isn't really full-duplex. but for a text/chat model to feel natural it should be able to manage a superposition of different convo threads

you could maybe do this by describing to the model in-context that certain text came before the previous response, but i’m not sure this interaction is within distribution wrt typical fine-tuning data or maybe maintaining a superposition of threads you inference in in parallel

i think even dropping multi-modal raises some interesting questions. you would probably need a way of representing to the model messages that come during inference. i don’t think it could be represented cleanly as a thread anymore, probably more of a graph
