And the hype machine continues. I willing to bet that Anthropic asked him to make that post.

It doesn’t have to come to this. Seems far fetched. If this is a stunt (which I’m not saying it is) the reason could be that he wants to found his own AI company. If I see in a few months that happens, then I’d be more inclined to think that this was just hype.

I don't understand how you can make this claim while working in software engineering and seeing how our field has utterly transformed over the last year, then the unrelenting march of astonishing breakthroughs and incidents this summer. It's like we're living on different planets. What would it take to convince you that the technology poses real, societal-scale risks and that people working at the labs genuinely believe what they say when they talk about them?

I have a hard time believing that these companies aren't spending some amount of money manipulating public perception with social media influencers who are moonlighting as employees.

It's either that, or that he drank the Koolaid a long time ago.

I just assumed it was a routine Cloudflare outage.

From one of the links in the article (https://exploringjs.com/):

> The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).

Oof that hits hard. I'm not an author or anything like that, but wow.


GitHub Copilot itself is up but it is having problems with "Grok Copilot Model Provider". No mention of OpenAI or Claude.

Does this mean that GitHub has its own infrastructure for OpenAI and Claude? And that it distills prompts to Grok?


Maybe the Copilot infra for OpenAI and Claude is via Azure?

GitHub Copilot cli works fine.

Another one? What happened to the other one that was called ... (quick Google) ... Hello System?

I know there are 0 comments but actually I appreciate your post. I'm a developer on the Windows platform that uses C# and Typescript extensively, so you are definitely in tune with what I'm looking for. I'm also looking to learn Rust, just for the fun of it. Thumbs up.

What I particularly find interesting is the Eglot vs LSP-mode difference.


Thanks! Glad at least someone found it useful :)

I'm getting Gordon Gecko vibes.

The section under "User Lisp Directory" seems incomplete. I was expecting a second paragraph.


I thought the same, but later on in the article they go into more details and explain that lisp files under that directory will be auto loaded and commands they add should just work! Really good stuff.


   Central US data center failed to scale with it
I'm in Europe and I experienced token failures as well.


There are no EU instances of GitHub, it's all in the US only.
