Good. Let's accelerate the transition to TempleOS.
We got copilot reviewing our code at work
It mostly just finds typos and other things like that
Quite useless at anything else
My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).
GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn't find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers...
It does cut down review time for juniors' work, and it's capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It's a useful tool that assists and doesn't replace competent developers.

Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000's?

Klopilot - I'm sorry I think this only works in German
Welllll
WC stands for Water Closet and I think Klo is short for Klosett?
The brits also call it the 'loo' which doesn't sound too far off from 'Klo' I think
So it's not actually that hard to infer what it means
To be fair I did take like 6 years of Deutsch in die Schule, aber ich habe alles vergessen + I'm not entirely sure we ever learned the word "Klo". Maybe we did.

Like a virus you say?
I think Microsoft, as they often do, see the writing on the wall—the AI bubble bursting soon, taking AI-only businesses with them. What I see in this is a play to, at best, buy some extra good will with Anthropic so they can be first in line for the acquisition when the latter are tanking, or at worst (and more likely imo), get them dependent on Microsoft for revenue so that they have no other choice to be subsumed by them.
But I’ve been wrong about most economic/political predictions I’ve ever made, so we’ll see!
If there's any company that will survive the bubble, it's Anthropic. They're the only company with a product, a business model, and customers that see long-term value in it.
This is true. But remember that Microsoft has an incomprehensible amount of money and if the bubble bursts Anthropic may survive but not at the same value.
I doubt Google couldn't easily kill Anthropic by expanding their Antigravity project.
Antigravity is only rarely useful in software development.
Their product may be one of the best, but they are more expensive, and they have no hope of making enough revenue to float their business.
MS and Google float their AI with their other profits, so it can work as a business model.

Copilot sucks, that is all
You do realize its ChatGPT underneath, yes?
I chuckle and die a little when the CGPT bois trash Copilot, but lie, when it was nonprofit MS was funding a lot of the research so that's their backend.
I dont use openai, chatgpt was better for sure though, maybe not on a model level but on ui and ux. Copilot constantly has not checks that interrupt work. Copilot and chat gpt give different responses when interpreting excels, copilot is worse. It is the worst llm I have used.
I use le chat, copilot is for work and rarely because it sucks so much.
Great paywall. I guess I'm not reading this article.
And then La Verge will wonder why it can't keep readers on their website.
I didnt get a paywall myself actually. Mobile Firefox with ublock origin.
No paywall on Firefox desktop either with ublock either.

Try https://removepaywalls.com/. I’ve never had it fail for me.
Honestly I had the opposite experience and never had a "paywall remover" work :/
I also tried the weirder techniques like stopping the load of the page etc but it's not very reliable and rarely works.
MS isnt' very good at isolating its experiments...
Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS
Win11 already is, the the latest few months of "security updates" breaking basic operation system functions.
Praying windows 12 will just be the name of the Ubuntu based distro Microsoft releases after they admit their devs are too incompetent to maintain a kernel.
Ok, but that would shake up EVERYTHING!!! Just imagine:
WINDOWS LINUX
Linux development would be BREAKNECK!
You mean: have it's neck broken by the falling mass of a shit-mountain of LLM-slop?

Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I'm in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.
And what are the good non-github sites these days?
Microsoft is going to poison Claude with their shitty devs.
I think Anthropic has done a good enough job of poisoning Claude themselves within the past 4 to 5 months or so.
Claude Copilot 365.
Add yet another layer of obfuscation to their terrible products and insanely bad branding.
Claude Copilot Series X One
Microsoft Claude Copilot 365
The guy from GTA 3 is writing code?
That's maybe the worst flex for Claude possible.
Microslop Claude 365 please.
I wonder if the shift away from ChatGPT was due to their latest model using grokipedia to spew disinformation.
