Comment Is it really? (Score 2) 125

So it's slow as fuck, with memory leaks, impossible to maintain, lacking comments, nasty race conditions, 10 times bigger than the original, uses 10 times the memory, freeze trying to open files.... you know, the coding stuff.

Let me know when we can see some head to head QA. Hey, maybe we are there. But I've not seen anything more than vague "proofs of concept." I still want to see AI produce microcode for a new undocumented chop/board. Do you read it the API like a nursery rhyme?

Or to put it another way, if it relies on samples of code to exploit, how is it going to produce NEW code?

Comment Prompt? (Score 1) 66

The prompt is that little $_, or #, or blinking square, etc. showing you where to type. See VT100 terminals. A shell is the commands and features available by default when using that shell on your terminal. Make sure that you let the shell know what type of terminal it is running on. The command line is that space next to prompt, where you can input shell commands, pass through to system commands, or actually act interactively on a more feature-full terminal like a VT320, for example, a menu that allows you to navigate using the arrow keys. The MacOS terminal app is just a simple window (holdover from Next based on Freebsd unix) running one of the local shells, imitating the old DEC IBM, or whatever physical terminal.

Pedantry is not an annoyance, it's an art.
