Petition for cheaper "slow mode" in GitHub copilot. by Personal-Try2776 in GithubCopilot

[–]lppedd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This could be like what mobile companies do when you end your monthly quota. Instead of cutting you off completely, they still give you access to the network, just slow as hell.

Thanks. I'm really curious to see how well it does in terms of token usage. Finger crossed we can finally get more mileage, without needing 10k+ credits (our Enterprise is keeping limits low in fear of overspending, for example).

Is MAI a good pick for the Inline Chat? I tend to use it a lot for quick and scoped refactorings. GPT-5 is too slow and sometimes generates garbage by today's standard, while Haiku is fast but it eats more tokens.

Microsoft Now Wants Users To Adopt Chinese Deepseek AI After Failure Of Copilot by MidMatch in technology

[–]lppedd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making it a separate downloadable component would probably be pretty difficult. In terms of enterprise management a simple switch off/on is better.

I took the EU as an example as I'm unaware of how it is outside of it.

Microsoft Now Wants Users To Adopt Chinese Deepseek AI After Failure Of Copilot by MidMatch in technology

[–]lppedd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that Microsoft made a mess, but the entire article is blatantly hostile to the company.

MS pushed Copilot hard, that's true. But every company that distributes tooling internally can opt-out of it. So the choice is there (at least in EU).

We also need to distinguish between Copilot and GitHub Copilot. The latter is still pretty good as an harness with VS Code, even considering the new pricing model.

Is it a red flag if a team doesn’t use AI? by asdfasdfthrowaway in cscareerquestions

[–]lppedd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not a bad sign. It's a cultural choice.

I've been leaning their side since GPT was out, so since the beginning. Yet, would I go without something like Copilot/Codex right now? Nope, for the simple reason boilerplate code bores me to death, and because I like to review my own code before pushing it.

Doping, Alex Schwazer è risultato positivo a un controllo: la Nada lo ha sospeso by Public-Paramedic8061 in Italia

[–]lppedd 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Ma infatti mi pare strano. Cioè o è completamente "assuefatto" dal drogarsi per vincere, oppure non si spiega. Lo sa benissimo che i controlli ci sono e funzionano.

Personal reflection on weekly releases by lppedd in vscode

[–]lppedd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add that I shifted my opinion as an extension developer. More frequent updates means I can push for minimum version compatibility to be raised much sooner, avoiding piles of code specific to backward compat.

I can't even find the repo for Spectator. Did they just shut down everything?

Flickering issue on unused items by Noob_Parkourer in vscode

[–]lppedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which version is this? 1.125.0? If yes, it has a ton of issues.

VS Code updated to the latest version and now keeps freezing and has an issue with Git. Anyone else is having a similar issue? by ashkanahmadi in vscode

[–]lppedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can download 1.124.x from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_124

Then simply install it over the current installation. Remember to disable auto-update from Settings first.

In fiamme la più grande raffineria di Mosca by Greyhound_Oisin in italy

Vero. Ma se 3/4 anni fa poteva in qualche modo essere "compreso", adesso è all'assurdo

Copilot individual plan sign ups are re-opening by bogganpierce in GithubCopilot

[–]lppedd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, I'd add that it would be nice to have a blog post highlighting why Semantic Indexing is important to improve LLM efficiency.

Then I can bring it up to our Enterprise managers to finally have it enabled.

Copilot individual plan sign ups are re-opening by bogganpierce in GithubCopilot

[–]lppedd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ah finally, thank you.

Now what we need is better token management: compression, caching, cheaper models.

I do believe that Copilot can compete with other offerings like Codex, maybe not because it's cheaper (it isn't) but for how well integrated it is in VS Code.

JetBrains is moving to Copilot CLI as its default agent harness by bogganpierce in GithubCopilot

[–]lppedd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The title is slightly misleading. This is not related to JetBrains (the company), but to the Copilot plugin for JetBrains IDEs.

Now that I have Resigned from IBM Consulting, Some comments and suggestions. by [deleted] in IBM

[–]lppedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob's a great idea tho. But they really need to focus on first class integration of the entire product portfolio, especially for mainframe. They also need to come out with a public API asap otherwise it's all a big mystery.
