If I ask a model to do a change involving editing a file, and it starts investigating internals of my build system, then sure it might not be counterproductive or break the task, a…

AFAIK a nontrivial (5-10%?) fraction of population own a smartphone without any bigger computing device.

I thought bot protection was one of reasons for using Cloudflare in the first place (next to general CDN hosting)? After all, they do show a captcha-like challenge on some websites…

Makes sense, they probably don’t want to leak _the_ secret sauce driving the game itself. I saw some eve-specific logic in Destiny repo, like warp enter condition and warp velocity…

The catch is that it's not really doing anything. It "stores" 16GB of quants by... storing the base 2GB model and quantizing it on user's machine on demand. The extra diff files ar…

Reading this leaves a weird taste in my mouth, since the author tends to regularly make nontrivial >1k LOC PRs (sometimes several per day) and merge them on the same day with no re…

I think this is 6.3.2.3.7 in C99 about casting between pointer types: > If the resulting pointer is not correctly aligned for the pointed-to type, the behavior is undefined. Howeve…

I've seen people like this 15+ years ago on #learnprogramming on Freenode, I'm guessing LLMs just tend to validate that behavior instead.

I wonder how often this happens in practice - by "this", I mean industry/LLM world not noticing* some research until a bigger player repeats it with louder PR. (*hopefully I didn't…

They released the source (well, currently only the Android version) at https://github.com/google-ai-edge/gallery . At a glance, I see they do gather analytics about how much the ap…

No, only E2B and E4B.

So the repo builds: - C library - neovim plugin - MCP server But not a plain binary, which is the main way ripgrep is directly used (...at least by humans), and compared with.

> Epic did it backwards — they built the game first, then tried to force the infrastructure (EGS) into existence with money. Didn't Valve push Steam through HL2? It's a different k…

It already has a fast path, from (I think) 3.11. If you run `object.x` repeatedly on the same type of object enough times, the interpreter will swap out the LOAD_ATTR opcode to `LO…

I saw your documentation PR, thank you! I also did some reading and experiments, so quickly talking about things I've found out re: refcount elimination: Previously given an expres…

That's not true. I mean: it's true that it has little to do with OOP, but most imperative languages (only exception I know is Rust) have the issue, it's not "Python specific". For …

I think CPython already had tier2 and some tracing infrastructure when the copy-and-patch JIT backend was added; it's the "JIT frontend" that's more obscure to me.
