Readit News> When you use the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN to perform tasks, events triggered by the GITHUB_TOKEN, with the exception of `workflow_dispatch` and `repository_dispatch`, will not create a new workflow run.
It has bitten me in the rear before too. I use this pattern a lot when I publish a new version, which tags a piece of code and then marks assets as part of that version (for provenance reasons I cannot rebuild code).
I only recently started using aider[1].
My experience with it can be described in 3 words.
Wow!
Oh wow!
It was amazing. I was writing a throwaway script for one time use (not for work). It wrote it for me in under 15 minutes (this includes my time getting familiar with the tool!) No bugs.
So I decided to see how far I could take it. I added command line arguments, logging, and a whole bunch of other things. After a full hour, I had a production ready script - complete with logs, etc. I had to debug code only once.
I may write high quality code for work, but for personal throwaway scripts, I'm sloppy. I would not put a command line parser, nor any logging. This did it all for me for very cheap!
There's no going back. For simple scripts like this, I will definitely use aider.
And yeah, there was definitely no satisfaction one would derive from coding. It was truly addictive. I want to use it more and more. And no matter how much I use it and like the results, it doesn't scratch my programmer's itch. It's nowhere near the fun/satisfaction of SW development.
They're very effective at making changes for the most part, but boy you need to keep them on a leash if you care about what those changes are.

Seems more than happy to talk about Tienanmen, Xi, etc. starting at line 170 with the very primitive method of wrapping the query in its own "<think>...</think>" syntax even though it's the user role. Uyghurs are more strictly forbidden as a topic, as are its actual system prompts. None of this is serious jailbreaking, it was just interesting to see where and when it drew lines and that it switched to simplified Chinese at the end of the last scenario.
