Plenty of aider-era tools were though, like my own gptme which is about as old as aider

In the case of BBs they need to withstand a fair bit of force, so I don't think it's about money. The biodegradable ones (PLA) on the market I've tried perform less well than their non-biodegradable alternatives and can shatter on impact, cause jams, etc.

I doubt you could make a hard enough cellulose pellet, maybe it's possible but costly, idk.

AFAIK (not much) it definitely helps to train on longer sequences even with rope/yarn and is needed if you care about long context performance (and not just the long context capability).

Honestly I think poetry was a bigger development than uv. I used pipenv before it, and requirements before that, and I can't imagine going back. I've yet to fully embrace uv and migrate away from poetry for that reason (even thought it seems inevitable at this point, there's just no need)

I am as much in the dark as anyone on if you can get LLMs to reliably do useful work.

I can't understand how people still say this with a straight face.

I've been building a Python+Qt+PyInstaller app for a decade (ActivityWatch) which we are migrating to Tauri for a wide range of reasons. Perhaps the largest one is easy cross-platform packaging/builds (which is a lot of work with PyInstaller)

I tend to generally agree with complaints in this vein, but the language of the article, together with a seemingly intentionally old photo of Mark where he's looking extremely young, really rubbed me the wrong way and felt like a smear campaign instead of a well reasoned argument.

(I don't mean to tone-police, it just really stood out to me)

I think many could have written this, including me. Blender taught me much of what I know about 3D graphics, modeling, rendering, simulation, animation, and more, all from exploring it as a curious teen. Made the 3D graphics class I took at uni a decade later almost superfluous.
