I’m a little behind the curve on this one but I’m planning to spend a lot of time this year working with LLMs.

So far I haven’t been able to produce much code that I am happy with. I’ve had better luck using it for analysis. Claude + 3rd party skills is nice for asking questions about a code base.

Massive open source projects like this already had a low quality contribution problem before LLMs added accelerant.

The AI was being a smarmy junior. The blog post is just the psycho cherry on top.

[PERF] Replace np.column_stack with np.vstack().T by crabby-rathbun · Pull Request #31132 · matplotlib/matplotlib This PR addresses issue #31130 by replacing specific safe occurrences of np.column_stack with np.vstack().T for better performance.

Hell nah. Be better.

A Switzerland basically as large as Germany with access to the sea… Maybe even an oil producer?

Do you think they’d still be neutral? I have my doubts.

The Swiss have an opportunity to do the funniest thing this week.

Seems like it might be norovirus. Never fun but this is not our first rodeo.

Does it at least have a bangin’ soundtrack like the original?

My youngest started throwing up last night at 4am and we kept putting fresh sheets on the bed so she could go back to sleep. By about 6am and a few more changes we were basically doing the coyote meme feeding sheets to the washing machine.
