How is that different from Discord?

You know what they say about a stopped clock: it's wrong 1,438 times a day.

If it is a quartz watch, it might be 47,120,384 times per day.

Not if you're playing Florida Pick 4, which is supposed to be 1:10000, but for me seems 1:U+221E

The difference is that most of those systems have documentation that explains how to use their weird APIs.

Usually when I read these writeups, I walk away thinking "Wow, $foo was a more complicated problem than I thought".

With this one, it was "Wow, $foo was a simpler problem than I thought and Unix (and thus Linux and OSX) just totally screwed it up for no reason"

If you think Polymarket wants retail customers to join, you're misunderstanding the point of Polymarket.

Really? I thought you could only do that with open source models. Can you teach me how to checkpoint the current version of Claude Code so I can keep it as-is forever?

Yeah, but they don't inherit their rules and attitude.

Really, if we could apply some RLHF to the Stack Overflow community, it would be doing a lot better.

But surely transmitting information to actual SO is just as forbidden?

And if you're making an internal-only site, it doesn't really need to be name-brand SO.

Stack overflow was useful with a fairly sanitized search like “mysql error 1095”. Agentic LLMs do there best work when able to access your entire repository or network environment for context, which is impossible to sanitize. For a season, private environments will continue to be able to use SO. But as LLMs capture all the good questions and keep them private, public SO will become less and less relevant. It’s sad to see a resource of this class go.

I just typed the literal phrase "mysql error 1095" into ChatGPT with no context, and it gave an answer that was no worse than SO for the same search.

No need to give it anything about my repository, network environment, or even a complete sentence.

Somewhere out there, there's an alternate universe in which the Stackoverflow community was so friendly, welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable that this seems like a tragedy and motivates people to try to save it.

But in this universe, most people's reaction is just "lol".

It can be both. Push and pull factors work better together than either does individually.
