Ok so stl here is not standard template library. I was very confused for a minute.

Doesn’t work for me. I used to be able to read in cars but over the years I’ve reached a point where I last maybe two minutes, except if I’m on a straight road where it takes longe…

Yeah I tried to have a conversation about security yesterday with Claude and it immediately stopped me - I was taken aback, I didn’t expect it at all. This is highly problematic.

Indeed and I’m not American, and don’t work in the US. It is however fairly obvious to me. We agree to disagree.

Models are treated as weapons with export controls - if they can do this it’s with the blessing of the Chinese government who’s getting something out of it. It’s fairly obviously a…

I know but I’m not sure it actually matters. To many people the internet and internet explorer ( or edge ) are the same thing, and for almost everyone I know , the daily driver is …

Linux has gone mainstream a long time ago - from dvd players to android phones. It just hasn’t succceeded on old preexisting markets ( personal computers ) but has taken large part…

Do you have references ?

Compiler bugs are surprisingly common - most people simply never notice them. Whether these bugs are major or not is a different topic. If you have a very large scale test suite fo…

Yes. Most people don’t actually understand what a program proof is - the answer is usually ‘I have very good tests’. Now, go write the code for an artificial heart , and sleep at n…

Physics is an endless source of frustration to me. It feels like a mix of random tricks, most of which I don’t understand. I find math and compsci reasonably understandable, can re…

Formal methods allow you to prove that it works for all inputs, and not just for the small subset that will be sampled by property testing It’s a proof, not a successful experiment…

I have found that asking an llm for an Eli 5 ( along with the important follow up questions ) usually works out

Yeah this is willy wonka

Well, I’ve been writing code for decades so I know because there was a time ( when I was younger ) where I did just this. I also know that these days, for all kinds of reasons, I d…

Agreed I’ve already started writing software for myself using Claude. I would never have done this if it weren’t for AI - I simply don’t have the time otherwise . I now have tailor…

I didn’t find that many - you can find graded readers, but very few ‘graded novels’ ( as in a full novel where chapters are progressively harder, not multiple independent tiny stor…

For those interested in learning old English, I’ve been going through Oswald Bera by Colin Gorrie - https://colingorrie.com/books/osweald-bera/ Basically it’s a full blown story/gr…

À lot

It is unfortunately very heavy (2.4kg vs 1.5 for my mb air 15) I take note though that the 13 inches framework is bigger than it seems because of the aspect ratio

This looks suspiciously like something I could buy : a lightweight well made Linux laptop, with long battery life. I currently use a MacBook and won’t get near a windows machine. T…

I understand his frustration : I have a similar issue with video games - Xbox gamepass games sometimes leave the service. So I built an app that takes all my games across the vario…

You do but you then make a career out of it : you become the fixer ( and it can be a very good career , either technical or managerial)

I tried subscribing to pcgamer ( as in, I literally paid for it ) two years ago but this didn’t seem to change structurally the amount of ads i was getting. I also tried to contact…

I work for a mega corp, and our global overlord( who is ex dev) has tried Claude code at home, and figured out that generating large amounts of code comes with its own challenges -…
