• Introduction to Loro's Rich Text CRDT

  Darcs [0] patch theory was a predecessor to OTs/CRDTs (and a predecessor to git as well; in some ways it is the "smart" to which git was named "dumb"). When it works and performs well it is still sometimes version control magic. Pijul [1] is an interesting experiment to watch, trying to keep the patch theory flag flying and also trying to bring in updates from OTs and CRDTs as it can.

• Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?

  Perforce. As for DVCS, the best one I've used is Darcs: https://darcs.net/ There are some sticky wickets (specifically, exponential-time conflict resolution) that hindered its adoption. Thankfully, there's Pijul, which is like Darcs but a) solves that problem; and b) is written in Rust! The perfect DVCS, probably! https://pijul.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is it time to look past Git?

  Well technically one alternative I am going to bring up predates Git by several years, and that's DARCS. Fans of DARCS have written plenty of material on Git's perceived weaknesses. While DARCS' Haskell codebase apparently had some issues, its underlying "change" semantics have remained influential. For example, Pijul is a Rust-based contender currently in beta. It embraces a huge number of the paradigms,... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Quite excited by [Pijul beta] tbh. Git feels like the "C of version control" - ubiquitous, reliable, but old and not very user friendly. I'm hoping we'll get the "Rust of version control" soon enough! :D

  We already have the "haskell of version control", darcs, i.e. Nobody uses it. Source: over 3 years ago

• OpenAI o3 and o4-mini – OpenAI

  The big step function here seems to be RL on tool calling. Claude 3.7/3.5 are the only models that seem to be able to handle "pure agent" usecases well (agent in a loop, not in an agentic workflow scaffold[0]). OpenAI has made a bet on reasoning models as the core to a purely agentic loop, but it hasn't worked particularly well yet (in my own tests, though folks have hacked a Claude Code workaround[1]). o3-mini... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• AI Agents — A Software Engineer’s Overview

  Fine-tuning based learning (pre-trained optimization). For example, a language model (e.g., OpenAI Codex) fine-tuned for the software development tasks. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Codestral: Mistral's Code Model

  > there's no CodeGPT, its just GPT4 Codex[1] is OpenAI's CodeGPT. It's what powers GitHub Copilot and it is very good but not publicly accessible. Maybe they don't want something else to outcompete Copilot. [1] https://openai.com/index/openai-codex/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Seriously How Far Are We Before We Just Prompt An AI In Any OS to Complete Any Task?

  - Then there's this live demo of OpenAI's Codex but it's not an AI OS like the pin. It does something much better... It creates a script based on what you voice command it to do. So it basically translates that whatever you want into the code to execute that what you said. > However... "As of March 2023, the Codex Models are now deprecated. Please check out our newer Chat models which are able to do many... Source: over 1 year ago
