Why not apply changes to the underlying model so that you crush every available eval?

awesome

Can I download all the messages & attachments?

Everyone is a decent programmer now who can solve nearly any problem with help from LLM.

It made sense when I named GitHub Copilot, since that product was a passive addition to your regular workflow.

The name was sticky enough that they've run with it, misunderstanding or ignoring that fundamental metaphor.

New business models come around very rarely. In the mean time, existing companies optimize everything they can relentlessly - that's why people own their stock.

Hono still doesn’t support request cancellation well.

So if you’re streaming tokens from an LLM and you cancel the request from the client you’ll be wasting money.

This is the correct take. Copilot impossible without the years of work from the brilliant people at OpenAI, VScode, Azure, and GH.

Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.

I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAI deal using those test results.

Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAI's.

I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get VScode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.

I named it Copilot.

I implemented GH auth, made the waitlist and onboarding. Helped design the e2e http/2 go server, after designing the fast.ly based precursor. Coordinated moving from OpenAI datacenter to Azure to improve Asia experience, and oversaw the cutover.

I was Chief Architect. It was my baby. Sad if this is how they are spinning the story internally at GitHub today.

I built something similar to this 16 years ago based on Firefox: http://web.archive.org/web/20080905102046/http://www.pyrodes...

I made GitHub Copilot. Now I'm making an AI assistant on the web. Today it can order pizza, answer questions about articles, toggle settings, fill out forms, buy plane tickets, etc.

I need someone who understands the web deeply to help on frontend and internal tooling.

Renders the study useless IMO.

I faffed around forever with lisp and bash and perl, never really getting it. Eventually I read one of these “Learn C++ in 30 Days” books and it just clicked.

Today I would recommend getting Copilot and just start typing :)

Lung cancer. I found a higher power, pray all the time, try to view all actions through that lens - of what my higher power would have me do. I’ve never been happier. I was an atheist previously.

The actual quote is:

> For some languages, we already see about 30% of newly written code being suggested by Copilot.

It writes about 30% of Python and 20-25% for other languages.

Why is mobilecoin a scamcoin? It seems to work well enough for Signal to integrate, which is a pretty high bar.

Even UK-only release in Signal means more people with cryptocurrency wallets than all other cryptocurrencies combined.

> Keys will never leave your mobile device. This is a challenging problem and we are very excited to share our solution when we release our mobile SDK software.

Keys are not stored in SGX. Keys never leave the phone.

Glad you enjoyed Tomboy and Hackpad! I worked on them many years apart and I am humbled that you've used them both. Thanks!

Huge implications for distributed self-driving car training and improvement.

Still my favorite interview question ever.

Magic

I cannot recommend this simple book enough.

example: Wealthfront doesn't allow you the control to avoid natural resources as an asset class.

Something not mentioned but which is very important is the price anchoring that happens once you get a serious figure out of corpdev.

Future talks will be anchored on the initial figure regardless of your success in the meantime.
