But this also means tiny context windows. You can't fit gpt-oss:20b + more than a tiny file + instructions into 24GB

LLMs do typically encode a confidence level in their embeddings, they just never use it when asked. There were multiple papers on this a few years back and they got reasonable results out of it. I think it was in the GPT3.5 era though

It's mostly AI slop, but they did exist before AI (and they were miserable back then too)

Are you seriously comparing discrimination based on factors noone can control to a group literally defined by a choice they made? And you think that's a good faith argument?


People hate C because it's hard, people hate C++ because it truly is rubbish. Rubbish that deserved to be tried but that we've now learned was a mistake and should move on from.


Because llm tokens don't map cleanly to what the compiler sees as a token. If coding is all LLMs will be good for this will surely change


What on Earth have you used to get reasonable results out of a local model?

I've tried at every new model release (that can run on my 24GB card) and everything is still entirely useless.

I'm not writing web stuff though.


Neurodivergent doesn't mean autistic. There are tonnes on non-autistic neurodivergent people. All the dyslexics, ADHDers and so on


Almost all of those conditions include some kind of hinderance in their definition though.

The only possible exception I can think of is synaesthesia.


I'm sorry, you need to go to an optician. I can see the pixels at a comfortable distance at 1440p.

Alternatively, you play modern games with incredibly blurry AA solutions. Try looking at something older from when AA actually worked.


You're probably looking up close at a small portion of the screen - you'll always be able to "see the pixels" in that situation. If you sit far back enough to keep the whole of the screen comfortably in your visual field, the argument applies.


Oh goodness no, I sit way further away from the screen than most people. People always drag my screens closer when they have to borrow my desk


It's the protocol that VSC made to speak to programs that do code analysis and is the basis of goto definition, autocomplete, refactorings etc.

It's used by most smaller editors so they can backpack off of the efforts languages make to be usable in VSC. (Vim, Emacs, Zed, etc)


Also diagnostics (errors, warnings), inlay hints like types and parameters, code lens (tiny embedded buttons), symbols, notifications like “document changed”, and more
