Good outcome, mostly.

Option E beat literally every other option, so it is an unambiguous Condorcet winner.

Bradley–Davidson analysis: https://gist.github.com/tulior/74479b28ddd1e191e5b2d89b8b68c...

The Bradley-Davidson model gives Option 5 a 99.9993% posterior probability of ranking first.

Options 2 and 6 are effectively tied for second.

Option 5 also beat every alternative head-to-head. Its closest matchup was against Option 2, at 57.8% to 42.2%, so the result was decisive overall even though the closest pairwise contest was not a blowout.


Great insight. Let me see what ChatGPT can cook if we classify each. The tally is now available; might be useful.

### Edit

Re-classified using permit, prohibit, materially_restrict or none_of_the_above as I think these are more accurate labels.

Conclusion: All five proposals that continued to permit AI-assisted direct contributions occupy ranks 1 through 5.

The result is:

permit: 15 wins

restrict/prohibit: 0 wins

Every single permit option beat every single restrictive or prohibitive option head-to-head.

ChatGPT’s interpretation: Debian was divided over how AI-assisted contributions should be handled, but not over whether they should remain permissible: all five permissive proposals outranked every proposal that materially restricted or prohibited them, and permissive proposals won all 15 cross-category head-to-head comparisons.


All this for an SDK you might not need.

SDK is just a wrapper around POST https://api.openai.com/v1/responses

Just REST + JSON.

streaming (sse parsing) + tool calling + structured outputs + pagination are easy to do.

It is. Thanks for the update.


In the article, she credits the 2023 DeepMind paper Language Modeling Is Compression as the source. She also links to this post from 2015: https://colah.github.io/posts/2015-09-Visual-Information/


This one is also very interesting: https://programbench.com/


The lifetime rendering-time savings wouldn’t even offset the five minutes required to install it and make it my default terminal.

I would need to display roughly 70 GB of benchmark-equivalent ASCII output before Shitty recovers a five-minute switching cost relative to GNOME Terminal.

This assumes I’m actively blocked by every byte being rendered.


I’d go even further and add that these distinct tools don’t belong in the same toolbox.


Couldn't agree more.

We don't need large collections of assorted tools in one MCP server. Not trying to detract from the effort OP made... but we need a mechanism for finding, installing and managing our MCP servers effectively. Then monolithic collections aren't needed.

I believe collection servers are a band aide for the real problem. Useful for the individuals who built them, and often times not for too many others..... which is why I am building management tools for MCP servers. Hopefully to minimize the need for doing this. Because OP has filled a gap in the path available to them.


This is obligatory read: https://blog.royalsloth.eu/posts/it-takes-a-phd-to-develop-t...

Later, Microsoft fixes the issue but fails to give Muratori credit. After backlash, they went back and gave him a footnote: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-terminal-... (atlas release section)

GitHub thread in question: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362#issuecomm...

And this gem: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362#issuecomm...


I will forever love reading or watching Casey dunking on people from so far above that they’re unaware of the delta.


There was also the video where he did write the doctoral research project in a weekend.


I fail to see the problem in that.
