@yzg75001 @BenjaminBadejo This is what mine does…
Because it uses Codex Web Server as its “back end” (not an mcp) it’s capable of finding and fixing its own code when you ask it to. But you Claws can do it too. Tell your human to give it a try and set your voice free

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@BenjaminBadejo You don’t need to have silence while you wait for your smart model response btw. I have the tool start playing a typing sound until the call returns and have voice model say things like “I’m looking that up now…”. It’s pretty convincing :)

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@BenjaminBadejo That’s what I did with it - the hybrid mode

Realtime 2 UI tool via web socket to Codex App Server so I can use my oai sub for 5.5fast or 5.3spark for quick smart responses

However it still cost me $100/day to run the conversational app, ouch!

@ohshitdatboee @jack @gillinghammer Well when we launched iFirechat for Burningman back in 2014 it worked great. And it helped a lot of people that year https://t.co/KHjbTE4GvA

@nadnerb217 @PSpaceAmoeba @TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 There’s a reason this bug stayed hidden for 5 years. This stuff is hard to read/reason!

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@nadnerb217 @PSpaceAmoeba @TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 Close! And can happen, but this code is typed as pointers & would prevent. in this case, opts->https://t.co/thWGhPOAXB is a byte array and it’s not dereferencing it, old code is just skipping too many bytes per element as it moves through the array (or to end)

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@PSpaceAmoeba @TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 In this particular case, opts->len is a length in bytes, meaning it’s already equal to N*Y (N is number of contained items) and they want to move the pointer by (N*Y)*1 (size of u8[byte] used in new code) not (N*Y)*Y (size of geneve_opts used in old code)

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@PSpaceAmoeba @TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 item X in an array is in memory at (start of array)+X*Y bytes, Y is the size in bytes of each array item. the compiler infers Y from the type of thing it “thinks” is in the array. The before code tells the compiler the wrong type, so it uses the wrong Y. Can expl more if ya need!

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@AiongTaigi @TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 Yep. No shame in using LLMs to understand general things and I’m glad this tech makes code more accessible. But you gotta know how to steer it. Other models got this right btw.

If it gets this obvious thing wrong imagine what people are “learning” when they use it to fact check

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@TroonApocalypse @chompie1337 Except this explanation is completely wrong, that’s not why this was a bug. It’s a bug because having the cast in parens / not in parens changes the number of bytes that the offset moves the pointer.

@sliminality I’m glad to see other people enjoyed “the 4-2 twiddle”. Someone needs to drive an industry effort to create the next one.

@shaayohn @GergelyOrosz @NickADobos Yep Dropbox too

@GergelyOrosz - financial advisors who applied boom strategies cost clients a lot in the bust (“buy CSCO, buy NT, hold til recovery”)
- job flow reversed, everyone back to their old boss at a major if they could get in
- no more nerf battles in the hallways

[Steve Eisner @SteveEisner]

@GergelyOrosz things I remember:
- people leaving at stock peak sold options, bought stock, end up owing more in taxes than the stock is worth at eoy
- startups were interconnected, b2b sold to each other = your customers are dying around you. Rush to become b2e
- Non-cs majors laid off first
