LLMs are surprisingly bad at basic CMake, but i don't see why they should be. Much of the truly LLM-difficult code is probably hiding in the libraries we import. Database engines, …

You didn't read the whole article; it's not a scam, it's a new official cloud-flare product.

> "The high end - the real talent - still stands out" It's a shame we made it economically infeasible to ever more produce or pursue. The value of even mediocre art used to be that…

Most artists would prefer you to steal their art than paying a multi billion dollar company to steal it for you and make a worse inaccurate copy. And there are petabytes large free…

> jobs displaced by industrialization This argument is cute and all, but ... does a data-point of 1 from 200 years ago really give us much confidence? We replaced physical labor wi…

Yes, that's very nice. But that's very different models from LLMs and slop image generators. AI as a term has been butchered beyond recognition; when mentioning the current harm of…

An inference only platform selling good open weight model inference without the research overhead could capture a-lot of market for lower size model uses (haiky, gemeni flash). Dif…

LEB128 can only trick you by at most one byte, (depending on the followup data). Bijou64 can consistently trick you by 8 bytes. In a contrived example of a pbuf {length:int, payloa…

Clever, but one thought crossed my mind; An adveserial package can claim to have a 255 tagged integer but not actually have any followup, tricking the payload parser into an incorr…

So we should give up regulating them? All stored are internet stores.

But western brands can be sued or made liable with fines when a house burns down, which force them a minimum level of caution or risk-assessment when designing and selling their pr…

Neither does; Mercury lamps, Asbestos insulation, Freon refrigerant. It poses issues when disposed off, and is banned for a reason.

Passing the CE certification is annoying, but hardly a significant cost compared to design of the product. Notably, the law forces companies to put their ass on the line if things …

Could we interest you in some amazons choice fuses? never more be concerned about replacing a fuse! as these ones, simply wont need replacing! (they survive 5-10x their rated curre…

And architectures. Probably a bunch of build servers or a swarm of docker, qemu, and VMs, with a good test coverage to detect behaviour differences. In practice, the compiler is an…

Patents is not the issue here. Not even close. The up-front investment of a memory fab is measured in billions, and takes years to construct and get running. The margin on the chip…

Not using JavaScript would also make the crawler fail on squarespace and wix website builders. The age where the web was usable at all without JavaScript is long gone. No scraper w…

google is already on it when asking about "The Great Pigeon Census of 1887" using 1886 or 1888 makes Google correctly identify that no such sensus exist. asking about 1887 specific…

I had the opposite issue. Writing was agony and every section would be written, reviewed and rewritten to get my point across; only to be tortured by a miminum word count that was …

In a very simplified view; Those "tolkens" humans "count" are translated to a ~2048 (depends on model) floating point vector. bird => {mamal, english, noun, Vertebrate, aviant} has…

> character counting The models now whaste a vast amount of useless neurons memorising the character count the entire English language so that people can ask how many r's are in st…

plenty BD clips of old atlas include oil lines bursting and showing the room with oil. it's indeed a mess.

It's either neutral useless information, or a sign of low quality. It's never positive. Its a sign that the developer didn't pay attention to what they committed. Like a spelling e…

I really wish i could at the very least force them to use a modern GCC fork. Please no more c99!
