@ryanramage Yeah! I just finished Diaspora a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved it. It was cute how the AI lifeforms has their own pronouns. Currently reading Schild's Ladder.

Some folks turned me onto Greg Egan's writing. Gotta say I can't believe I've been missing out on all of this for so long! Lots of greathard #SciFi with transhumanist storylines and graphs.

@pere @forgejo Sweeet. Thank you for the heads up. Federated code collab is one of the things I'm most excited by in tech right now. Maybe once the stuff stabilizes a bit we could chat about deploying some of this stuff to mesh networks?

Neat! I'm considering deploying a #vervis instance to start mirroring some of my Github repos with a longer term goal of having all my git/code stuff on the fediverse as @forgefed gets implemented in more contexts.

@hank Interesting. I mostly use search to find others that have had the same stack traces as me and every now and then Linux CLI stuff (though that hasn't been _too_ bad if I know the command name already).

Lately I've been using duckduckgo to find the repo URL for some dependency and then I either clone and grep or use whatever keyword search is on the repo site.

@icedquinn Yeah, I've heard mixed reviews about LLAMA. A friend of mine tried out the 7B model and it wasn't very good at performing tasks. I don't know if they tried to do coding with it though. 🤔

Getting a beefy rig to run these models is on my TODO list though. I was hoping someone out there just did the hard work of wiring stuff together already so I can focus more on my TODO list instead of adding to it. :P

@xjix@mk.toast.cafe Oh snap! Is there somewhere I could follow the code for this? Very relevant to my interests.

cc @malwaretech might be up your alley too.

Are there any of these "coding assistants" that are CLI based instead of part of an IDE?

I think the main thing holding me back from trying them out right now is that my CLI is my IDE and I run scripts fore everything that I can't do in Nano.

I'd really like to avoid having to install an entire IDE with yet another chromium backend just to get some fancy code autocomplete. 😅

@simon Does getting it to add "show your work" steps help in this case? I wonder if it's internal memory for token prediction just isn't good enough.

Tis that time of the month when grant deadlines are coming up and I need to scramble to keep up. :)

They don't stop comin'!

@hank Jeeze. :P The internet is already full of lies, so having potential lies that sound authoritative as your primary interface seems kinda exhausting.

Maybe I'll start looking stuff up in literal encyclopedias and reference manuals again or something.

@Valdis I wish this was scaled to account for which countries are dumping all of their trash onto others. E.g how much of the Philippines garbage actually came from Canada.
