I've been wondering why Gemini CLI (and others) don't have this feature yet (letting the agent interact will full-screen/interactive terminal like VIM, or a running node server, a ruby CLI etc. so I tried to make a PoC to see what was the technical challenge.
Gemini CLI did add a kind of "pseudo terminal" support (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45605823) but that still does not let the agent execute commands.
So gopilotty is my vision for a more "interactive" agent: a two pane window with a terminal on the left, a chatbot on the right, and the terminal is a combination of a "pseudo terminal" running bash, linked to a terminal emulator (for escape characters etc), and you can ask the bot to make edits in VIM (it knows how to exit !), run SQLite etc... Run it in a VM for safety :)
I'm making an OpenAI API proxy to stay within a spending limit (like 1$ per hour then a 429), AFAIK they only support "budget alerts" and I'm not comfortable releasing anything without a hard limit on the spend. https://github.com/goverture/goxy - Still a work in progress, I plan to support streaming as well and might support other providers if there's a demand for it.
OpenAI gives an allotment of free daily tokens if you agree to hand over the inputs as training. I’d love a proxy that places the limit just before you exhaust those free tokens, to avoid incurring any expenses for small hobbyist projects.
This would be a game changer. There are so many times I run out of credits without knowing when it’s going! I know there is the dashboard, but I think it’s quite limited in my use cases.
I was not aware of an update to this algorithm, I'll have to look it out.
The original dancing link is one of my favorite papers, you can really see Knuth's love for algorithms (it's not in every paper you see sentences like "This process causes the pointer variables inside the global data structure to execute an exquisitely choreographed dance"). I'm using it to generate crosswords (the horizontal and vertical words forming an exact cover of the grid).
I cannot recommend checking out Volume 4B enough, then. He goes much deeper, improves the algorithm, adapts it to different constraint problems, and provides hundreds of really cool exercises (including word problems like crosswords, I think). It's the best.
Yes that's the one ! I found it when I was trying to solve the tetraminos in The Talos Principle without looking for a game guide... I agree with OskarS it is a rewarding algorithm to implement.
This post resonates a lot with me, enough that I want to comment. After 5 years working with a full-time SM (3 different ones) in my team, I still have no idea what value they are supposed to provide, or how they fill their day once the daily meeting is over. As the author states it is completely demotivating to feel like you are carrying a parasite on your back ("robs engineers of their productivity and self-esteem").
Note that among the devs at my company, I'd say more than half don't seem to have a problem with it, or at least go with the flow, so I might be in the minority but I feel strongly enough about it to consider trying freelancing, I just hope I can demonstrate enough technical skills to be able to "insist on being in control of how [I] work" and still be hired...
Sure, if that's the way you want to interpret it... The way I see it it doesn't make any argument at all, the vaccine wasn't even available for the dates they consider ("starting in April 2020", hence the low vaccinated percentage), and by the time the vaccine was widely available, the virus had mutated into omicron, which is weak whether you are vaccinated or not.
> the virus had mutated into omicron, which is weak whether you are vaccinated or not.
That was not Hong Kong's experience with Omicron when it hit a population of unvaccinated older people and their per capita death rate soared up to one of the highest in the world.
The "weak" omicron effect is probably due to preexisting natural immunity and vaccination. South Africa where Omicron originated had a youthful population and high levels of natural immunity. Most of the developed world had a mix of natural immunity and high levels of vaccination (particularly in the elderly). Hong Kong had neither and Omicron still tore it up.
According to https://subredditstats.com/r/antiwork the subreddit was almost empty 2 years ago, and the subscriber count only started going in the past few months.

Another way to look at it is that in January, when things were worst, weekly deaths from everything were about 50% higher than "normal" for 2015-19.
That's not precisely the same as covid-19 deaths, nor does it represent the whole of 2020, but it's pretty staggering and suggests what would happen if it was left untreated.
