Yeah why is this so common in .NET?

Enterprise usage. Devs know companies will just pay out. Easier than trying to get sponsored.

Whatabout the extensions? is it widely supported

That is always one check away: https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php

You mean the locking would be done in software?

I assume to save on resources, even if your algorithm is not much more taxxing on silicon, maybe the designers at intel and amd just didn't think optimizing split locks was worth it

There is a limit on how much copilot can do in one request, pretty generous but after some time vscode will say "this request is taking very long, do you want to continue" and that would count as a seperate request

I don't think that's true. In VS Code, that's also configurable via the chat.agent.maxRequests setting.

There was absurd latency in the Copilot Opus 4.6 model on 1st and 2nd April which led to lots of my requests timing out with nothing to show though.

> chat.agent.maxRequests

"Maximum number of requests that copilot can make using agents"

I don't get how this setting is relevant?

I guess Microsoft wants us to think about all these copilots as a single product.

Like, "the copilot in visual studio", "the copilot on github", "the copilot on office" etc.

This a toolchain issue rather than OS issue. This wounldn't have been a problem if gcc/clang just took a --stdlib-version option and built the executables linking to that version of glibc or equivalent.

Even from a quality of life perspective, imagine having an SFH in city center that is within walking distance to shops, job, activities etc.

Also living standards, ancients houses are dead simple and today could probably be built with usd 5k-10k in a couple months. But most people wont accept a home with no electrity, no lights, no AC, no indoor plumming, etc.

Yes that too. We're a bunch of spoiled brats complaining how much we have to work but it's only because lifestyle creep keeps pace with wealth.
