Big f'ing surprise.

The source is linked to in this thread. Is that not the source code?

Of what possible purpose is this man's DNA except for framing him for crimes later?

Take a look at Anthropic's repo. They auto-close issues after just a few weeks.

I don't think I've seen an issue of theirs that wasn't auto-closed.


I just randomly plugged in numbers to look up random Claude issues on github, and out of the 20 I checked, only one was closed as fixed. :-(

Wait, isn’t software engineering a solved problem?

Yes, that’s why they have such great up time. They don’t go down multiple times per day.


I also hate this pressure of it being on the user to come up with a minimal reproducing example. That means that any bug of any moderate complexity will never get fixed because you can't always reduce them to a few steps and they may be statistical.

A bug is a bug, no matter the developers' opinion or the complexity of the bug.


However there are "bugs" that actually do turn out to be just cosmic rays flipping bits or plain user error. If you as the reporter don't provide enough information for the developer to be sure they are not going on a wild goose chase then it's fair for the developer to not invest too much time.

Sure. But I'm biased because I was a "customer" of a former (large) company's products while also working at that company. So the bugs I would file were the type that a customer would file, but since I was inside, I saw how they were handled. The tactics that my fellow R&D developers would do to claim something wasn't a bug or reproducible were nearly endless.

I think taxes is a way to make someone thoughtful and self-introspective.

They did make the Founding Fathers think quite a lot about some particular thing.

Or if it gets too out of hand turn to the French for inspiration.

I would have never thought it would be possible to wage a war against introspection and make a claim that self-introspection was concocted in the 1820s. It's just patently bizarre.

To claim that Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Galileo, Kong Qiu, and the countless other poets, authors, philosophers, and just general people didn't self-introspect until it was artificially introduced in the 1820s is just flat out mental illness.

I have actively told recruiters that tout this guy and his VC firm as a positive that it is indeed not and that I have no interested in working for a place in which he is involved.

It's also bizarre that he's developed a sort of tick that seems like he's breathing in his own smell and breath.


> we’ll explore deeper integrations that allow Codex to interact more directly with the tools developers already use

Gross.


That's all fine. I don't think anyone is upset they got purchased. It's clear it was heading that direction anyway. What everyone is upset about is that they were purchased by OpenAI, who isn't exactly a trustworthy company.

> Just look at what Altman and Brockman tweet about.

Those two are pathological liars, so what they write about means very, very little.
