In short, another AI-generated slop project.

I've seen this exact UI style a dozen times now and it's always accompanied with tell-tale overly verbose, overly dramatic text.


Tip: identify PRs with this problem by looking for discrepancies between the metadata (files/lines affected) for PRs via GitHub API and associated commits in the time window.

This was a pain to clean up!


It seems to be particularly bad in Windows/WSL


The 8% and 50% numbers are pretty concerning, but I’d add that was for the “computer use environment” which still seems to be an emerging use case. The coding environment is at a much more reassuring 0.0% (with extended thinking).

Edit: whoops, somehow missed the first half of your comment, yes you are explicitly talking about computer use

Eh, both myself and my partner did this. To be fair, we weren’t going in completely blind, and my partner hit a Legendary joker, but I think you might be slightly overstating the difficulty. I’m still impressed that Gemini did it.

After being acquired by ServiceNow in 2021 for $510M and being rebranded to ServiceNow Cloud Observability, Lightstep is now being sunsetted with minimal fanfare.


I can, I’ve written a billing system before (unfortunately). There’s a lot of annoying math/edge cases and systems to sync between.

While I never implemented a restriction like this, it would have prevented a lot of weird bugs/customer support issues and kept the underlying code much simpler.

(Annoying math = time zones, prorations, discounts, billing cycle anchors, etc. see the “falsehoods programmers believe about X” series)

(Systems to sync between = internal DBs, billing APIs, payment processors, etc.)


I mean sure, I get it, but companies like Uber leave edge cases like that out when it hurts them (customers cancelling) but move heaven & earth to remove them when it helps them (I bet its easy to re-join within 24 hours of cancelling?).


Top multimodal models have about 200-1000 tokens per image, so the math works out.


My experience from working in the security space is that all the tech is pretty un-sexy (with very good sales pitches), and none of it will save you from a nation-state attacker.


Same. I was hoping to be wrong in my cynicism but…
