Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 15/02/2026a newer version of cython. I could probably submit a fix but the project is now dead. I wonder how many other projects collapsed along with poetry2nix? #nix #nixos 010
Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 15/02/2026The abandonment of github.com/nix-communit... makes me sad on a regular basis. I tried jupyevn today which also seem heavily unmaintained and one of the low hanging fruit bug fixes is that poetry2nix used cython 0.29.34 as a dependency for PyYaml, but the new PyYaml and python versions requiregithub.comGitHub - nix-community/poetry2nix: Convert poetry projects to nix automagically [maintainer=]Convert poetry projects to nix automagically [maintainer=] - GitHub - nix-community/poetry2nix: Convert poetry projects to nix automagically [maintainer=] 120
Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 14/02/2026I'm taking about the consistency and types of mistakes within a single model/version. These tools are amazing but the variance of intelligence (even in the same conversation) seem way higher than I would expect from a person. 010

Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 14/02/2026The types of mistakes LLMs make just make it seem like its some other kind of intelligence. It's crazy to mix phd level intelligence with 3rd grade mistakes. 120
Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 14/02/2026Each model has different skillsets though. That's why the benchmark are so diverse. For coding, I'm definitely enjoying Claude 000
Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 14/02/2026I agree, I was saying for this question it's not any better. But I think at least in OpenAI's case the difference is smaller. They want people to be impressed by what the free model can do, so that they are incentivized to sign up. 100

Pico @mrpickles.co.za · 07/02/2026I wonder how much is applicable to using AI in a way that is not typically called "vibe coding". Would there still be loss of skills if you write the code and AI reviews it. Or it only writes the tests. Anyway, step 1 seems to be honest about how much AI was used and being accountable. 120
