There was. Oink spawned both wcd and waffles. wcd spawned a few including RED.

Next thursday, RED will have been around longer than WCD...


Crazy


> Will drop a message to ask if it'd be possible to have a similar tool for Python.

Why not create your own? This is as wild as open-source expectations of a speedy implementation, addressing issues quickly, etc. Folks always want more and more.


Damn, those are some 10k loc sql files, 3k+ pull requests. Talk about battle-tested.

Hopefully this grows to be postgres equivalent


I worked at a media company that used to track time the users spent watching TV, so they could charge advertisers accordingly. "Hundred million watched the Super Bowl", things like that.

The way they measured that was by having devices installed on peoples homes, that tracked TV usage, and all of it was planned around demographics as well. People would get a few bucks for having the device installed. But hey, if you wanted to measure the top 1% of income, what would you do? A few bucks meanth nothing, so it was always in terms of 'favors' and 'gifts'. A nice champagne here and there.

What about the bottom 5, 10%? Well, you can't give them any money, because that could effectively move them from one social class to another (not the US, but locally this would be moving them from Class E to Class D). So you took them to lunch.

I thought it was wild once I learned that.

It’s not so straightforward, though. In the U.S., wages are usually discussed in terms of hourly pay or annual salary, whereas in Brazil, they’re typically expressed as monthly earnings.


Is FastAPI still (micro)managed by one person?


I’ve never heard micromanaged used in this positive context


It's not positive


He got funding. So, I guess he can hire some people to help him.

His "pelican riding a bicycle" tests are now a classic and AI shops are benchmaxxing for it


They need to benchmaxxx a whole lot harder, the illustrations still all universally suck!


I fully expect a model to output a SVG made up of 1000x1000 rectangles (i.e. pixels) representing a raster image of a beautifully hand-drawn pelican riding a bicycle any day now :)


I got an amazing result from ChatGPT a while back - an SVG with a perfect illustration of a pelican riding a bicycle.

It was suspiciously good in fact... so I downloaded the SVG file and found out it had generated a raster image with its image tool and then embedded it as base64 binary image data inside an SVG wrapper!


You’ll just have to move the goalpost then; perhaps it can be a multidimensional pelican saving the multiverse, or an invisible pelican that only you can see and critique.


How would that help, given that ChatGPT has apparently already figured out how to consistently and systematically game the benchmark by working in pixel space and only using SVG as a wrapper for a raster image?

FWIW, I could totally see a not hugely more advanced model using its native image generation capabilities and then running a vector extraction tool on it, maybe iteratively. (And maybe I would not consider that cheating, anymore, since at some point that probably resembles what humans do?)


ive got such pixelated rectangle SVG's a few times.

also with cursor, "write me a script that outputs X as an svg" it has given me rectangles a few times.


If they were testing that it'd work more often.

Other things you can ask that they're still clearly not optimizing for are ASCII art and directions between different locations. Complete fabrications 100% of the time.


Well, I definitely hope they aren't trying to teach LLMs directions between locations, given how idiotic use of compute and parameter space that would be. We already have excellent AIs for route planning. What they ought to optimize for is, of course, finally teaching them to say they don't know, or just automatically opting to call a route-planning API if the user asks for directions.


Just recently we got an e-mail from a consulting company we work with, their devs are 100% allocated to the client. The letter was something along the lines: "We hear you guys are using Github Copilot, and we would appreciate if from now on you could provide the number of lines from each developer that was created with AI, that was helped by AI (they are distinct metrics), and how many the developer created on their own. Per month". We, the paying client, that work with several consulting companies, got that e-mail.

I understand the author, and if these days the developers are on it for the money and deliver, but don't bring up stupid shit like this, I don't care much. Not everybody is on it for any kind of creativity relief. Spending hours on their Lottie animations or shaving off miliseconds out of request is not really for everybody either. We are lucky to cross paths with people that care.


I don't even understand the email.. . The consulting firm that you hired is asking you how many LOC their devs are generating in your company?


Exactly. It's a 1000+ people consulting firm, with a few dozens allocated with us


Your existing JSON < 5 will work with json5, not the other way around
