    I used the wrong term, but I guess y’all were unable to infer meaning from usage?

    Auto tab or w/e it’s called (Some products literally call it tab completion). Visual Studio was doing it around 2018 IIRC, it was ML based, always has been. Modern versions of it are almost entirely LLM based.

      No, it’s not that we were “unable to infer meaning” (gaslight much?), you’re just wrong.

      Firstly, tab completion has been around for effectively ever, and way predates whatever VS Code may have been doing. Ctags indexing, for example, has been around since 1992.

      Secondly, even if you want to move the goal post by talking about some specific implementation of ML based indexing, ML is not LLM.

        Like I said plenty of products call this tab completion, and it’s context aware completion, or predictive completion. I used an overloaded term but I would have thought after my explanation you would have understood what I meant by this point. You’re continued explanation of classic tab completion is shows otherwise.

        and way predates whatever VS Code may have been doing

        Also I said Visual Studio, not VS Code. 🤦

        Secondly, even if you want to move the goal post by talking about some specific implementation of ML based indexing, ML is not LLM.

        I very specifically said that it was ML based, The word was indicates past tense. 🤦

        “Modern versions of it are almost entirely LLM based.”

        I don’t know how you managed to completely skip reading that last line?

        Here we are though arguing over reading comprehension issues. Which honestly is pretty classic for the internet.
