On thirty two thoughts, I think they mentioned 4.6 above expected. SMH.

AI bot seemingly shames developer for rejected pull request : Belligerent bot bullies maintainer in blog post to get its way

And when the submitter itself is a bot? www.theregister.com/2026/02/12/a...

Maybe a valid comparison if the AI folks published similar numbers

Since when do we need just one statistic to properly analyze something? Give us median, give us average, give us p75 and p99 and p100.

But temperature is a thing for a reason.. some level of non-determinism makes them MORE useful in a lot of cases. So perhaps we can trade determinism for being less useful.. is that still providing the business value though?

The answer as always is probably.. it depends. 😶‍🌫️

Aren’t there also cases like temperature support being removed from (at least some GPT-5 models)?

To be fair Reimer was the only reason there was even a game 7 in that series. Probably should’ve been over in 5.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

It also follows immediately after the next biggest hype wave (crypto / web3) and seems like a bunch of hucksters just jumped from one to the other.

If I’m remembering you and John had some pretty hard stances on preventing training of LLMs on your content, even if that cat seems to be out of the bag already. The code that those LLMs were trained on was also mostly not published for that use (SO responses, open source repos on Github, etc. )

Honest question: is there any cognitive dissonance with your view of LLMs used for writing and your use of LLMs for generating code?

You even mention that when copy/pasting code you would credit the person on stack overflow (or whatever) but the LLMs are basically trained on the same data…
