I was reading up on the recent controversy around Tristan Buckmaster, Levent Alpöge, OpenAI, and the Navier–Stokes result, and it got me thinking about something broader than this particular dispute. Buckmaster says that he and Alpöge had been putting drafts from their project into Codex while worki

I’ve been thinking about this after using more agentic/local coding models. A lot of the newer models are surprisingly good at continuing on their own. But sometimes that seems like the problem.
