Why yes, you're right, poor code hygiene and poor documentation hygiene does matter. We finally agree.

It doesn't matter. The install was broken as was written. That's poor hygiene.

Brand new, clean install of npm.

Poor code + doc hygiene is the problem here.

GPT-5-Codex 10 months ago

The install errors out after following two basic install commands. This is poor code hygiene on the part of the authors. That's "not ready for primetime" in my book.

Doesn't seem ready for prime-time. I'll be impressed when it actually installs.

the most vulnerable populations in the UK look to be doing a heck of a lot better than the most vulnerable populations in other areas of the world.

not sure how you're concluding totalitarianism is running the show in the UK.

Very curious to see what other astronomers think about this in the comments. My gut feeling is there are almost certainly natural explanations for these. Just seems unlikely we would only be starting to see these now, even with the greater resolution of telescopes & increase in compute to crunch through the data.

If there were 7 of these ripe for the plucking that were actual Dyson spheres, each one would be the single greatest discovery in all of humanity. Just seems a little too easy.

that's not what it says in the article. it actually says "information from all previous tokens can be passed to the current token".

that statement is meaningfully different from "all previous tokens can be passed to the current token". and both really makes sense if you understand attention mechanisms.

Ha, my first thought too. Some new kind of movement to follow the Powermatic 80, perhaps?

But like someone else said, a very interesting read.
