    1. After reading this article, I'm going to hear this music https://youtu.be/KVdqwD_bcPs?si=qo_3_9yZWiW3zEQW&t=86 in my head the next time I'm waiting for a response from my LLM.

    2. The author understandably takes issue with the 35 hours. But I do think it's wrong to confuse the time it takes with the number of lines it ultimately writes. To quote Blaise Pascal, "I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time."

    Great article. Ive had situations where models start off being good at using the edit tool in pi but as the context gets longer (or perhaps once its encountered a bad patch error when using the tool) it switches to frequently using Python for edits and sometimes sed for reading.

    I've also had to set up a system wide extension that blocks any bash calls containing 'find / '. No, sorry, you don't get to spend 5 minutes searching my whole nvme drive just to find a file in the Lucan local directory tree
