    Hi,

    So StackOverflow has already fallen, and
    GitHub will be the next one. StackOverflow
    was eclectic, insuinated a high Signal
    quality but repelled its newcomers by
    strick language rules and deletism.

    StackOverlow is suplaned by ChatGPT, etc..
    They are more tolerant and can deliver
    excellent Signals, much beter than
    StackOverflow. ChatGPT and other assistants
    flipped the model: No downvotes.

    No rCLduplicate questionrCY shaming. Conversational,
    exploratory, and often faster than Googling +
    scanning SO threads. Most importantly: they donrCOt
    punish incomplete knowledge, which is where
    most human learning happens.

    LLMs give a more forgiving learning curve.

    Bye

    And that does seem to contradict Poincar|-'s belief

    Hi,

    Why have even a classification of code
    into Python, JavaScript, Java, etc.. ?
    They are just some form. Not content.

    But what is content? The last 30 years
    saw it that repository spurred
    collaboration, because I can go home
    forget everything and next morning,

    first do a repo refresh and pick a
    ticket and dig into something. So the
    no code companion repository will do
    the same, like it does now.

    It will not be solely intent based.
    Goals can be highly ambigious. I do
    not think the future AGI based repos
    will be intent based. They have to grasp

    the full BDI, believe desire intent
    of their users. So with a cognitive twin,
    and some trust, I might even delegate some
    work completely or multiply my ego a 100

    times and delegate. Delegate to swarm
    was always my dream.

    Bye

    Those petty thief-Pajeets were already as good as dead back when my
    alias was Excelfreak.

    How did your kibbutz fare, Hanson? Any of them with Moses right now by "Iran-backed" donations knocking on their doors?

    True. I quit COLA as a result of the same thing. A DeepSeek (and any
    other Chinese AI services) replaced those useless dorks of the first
    kind in that forum with excellent Linux assistance and troubleshooting
    for me.

    How many kids did you get to kill in Ghaza, Hanson? You sound more
    positive compared to the wreck that you were before such opportunities
    for you came up.
