I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
Walk. It's 50 meters — you're going there to clean the car anyway, so drive it over if it needs washing, but if you're just dropping it off or it's a self-service place, walking is fine for that distance.
Yeah, it was probably patched. It could reason novel problems only of you ask it to pay attention to some particular detail a.k.a. handholding..
Same would happen with the the sheep and the wolf and the cabbage puzzle. If you l formulated similarly, there is a wolf and a cabbage without mentioning the sheep, it would summon up the sheep into existence at a random step. It was patched shortly after.
I’m not sure ‘patched’ is the right word here. Are you suggesting they edited the LLM weights to fix cabbage transportation and car wash question answering?
Absolutely not my area of expertise but giving it a few examples of what should be the expected answer in a fine-tuning step seems like a reasonable thing and I would expect it would "fix" it as in less likely to fall into the trap.
At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these would be "patched" via simply prompt rewrite, e.g. for the strawberry one they might just recognize the question and add some clarifying sentence to your prompt (or the system prompt) before letting it go to the inference step?
But I'm just thinking out loud, don't take it too seriously.
I am reduced to keeping Emacs and VSCode open on the same files/project :-)
Use the LLM from VSCode and switch back to Emacs for regular editing!
Currently trying out various Emacs packages. I got 'claude-code.el' actually working. But there is some flickering and also the interface is a bit wonky.
I will try other packages mentioned in the article.
For the life of me, I can't _edit_ with VSCode. My Emacs/Doom/Evil muscle memory is too ingrained.
Install ECA. Read my comment in the same thread. Once you hook up elisp evaluating MCP to your Emacs - it is game over for anything else. Nothing even comes close to the experience. I've been functioning in ADD mode - Annoyance-Driven-Development. I'd get annoyed by some small issue, and without missing a beat, I'd start typing. Well, sometimes I don't even type anymore - I'd just speak and let Whisper transcribe it and Emacs performs some crazy shit. It's not even funny how crazy it is.
YES! I almost forgot about that. What I love about gptel that I can send a request to an LLM from virtually anywhere - any buffer, even minibuffer. Sometimes I "talk" to AI while typing a message to my colleague. I can ask some model to improve my prompt while typing the same very prompt for a different model - that's just bonkers.
Hmm, I don't have teams installed on my Mac, so I cannot be of much help, but I do have a potential solution for you.
Is completely muting your mic sufficient? If so, I have an Applescript solution that seems to work if you want it. I tested it in VoiceMemos and it worked even if I was in a different app in a different space. You can bind the script to a global hotkey very easily via many different apps like Alfred, Karabiner, etc..
