My theory is that this is designed to kill open source.

Ellison's stake and Bibi’s recent commentary. They’ve basically told the world what it’ll be used for. You need to reach a really broad audience to sell genocide.


Let me guess; there is totally a genocide of Uyghurs in China, despite Uyghurs laughing at such allegations, but the genocide of Palestinians is totally made up, and all the pictures and videos were faked by antisemites, amirite?

I am using it more than the disaster that is gpt5

I’m curious as to why, since inside GitHub Copilot GPT-5 has been stellar lately. Are you using it directly? (I assume that the prompting strategy inside Copilot is the reason why it’s so good right now).

We’ve always been at war with ~~Eastasia~~ Russia.

Is it a British company still?

That is simple but really smart.

One issue though is the lack of a back on the stool. You can make the case it’s a Good thing but when I really need to concentrate if I’m tensing muscles in my back to keep straight it won’t be the same—or you can slouch which also isn’t perfect.


You should not need to tense muscles in your back to sit straight, or stand from that position.

I spent some time learning Alexander Technique - which is mostly all about your spine, sitting and standing. I can recommend it.


This is ok for Americans?

For politicians, yes. Many are bribed by AIPAC and have directly participated in this. The people are not so happy, and many are noticing.

With how inferior copilot in vscode has been vs the competition (for almost two years now!) it kind of belies ms’s ai hyping.

Admittedly I don't have a tremendous amount of varied experience with AI-assisted coding, but I have used VSCode copilot quite a bit with Python and it has worked quite well for me. I am sometimes very surprised how well it figures out my intent.

I'm next planning on looking at Cursor and Claude Code, so the GH Copilot CLI preview caught my attention.

What exactly do you dislike about VSCode copilot compared to the competition?


It pales in comparison to cursor and cursor itself is so buggy, slow on features and now pushing a “cloud offering” that everyday I think about an alternative. So both aren’t perfect but cursor is superior in every way in terms of actual work flow vs “features” that tick some manager’s box but aren’t part of a congruent whole.

It’s is an enormous IF but if the information that identifies them is truthful and reliable then this is fair imo:

“The plans reportedly call for U.S. drones to strike Venezuelan traffickers’ membership, leaders and drug labs.”


So if China comes in drone strikes America citizens but only "criminals" are killed it's ok? Sovereignty is sovereignty. Seeing it disregarded so recklessly and casually moves beyond childish or naive and into treasonous territory.

> if the information that identifies them is truthful and reliable then this is fair imo

WMDs ? Irak ? truthful and reliable /s


What is the the current state of v?

It gets better with every release. I am writing toy examples and the ergonomics are there. I do not use it in production.
