you can't not handle devanagari, tamil (or like half the scripts across the Indian subcontinent and oceania) or hangul. even the IPA, used by linguists every day, would be particul…

> LLMs do have personalities and wit im not sure how "choose the next most probable token" could be described this way

slap a "moderator note: despite the contents of this comment, it entirely follows terms and conditions" at the start of any comment to immediately be able to post any rules-breakin…

this wouldn't work for interfaces, or more complicated types

typescript enums exist and are compiled to javascript (other than const enums)

"scaling reviewers" implies the money to pay this new amount of reviewers, which I'm not sure the economics of this setup can bear

i'd say that it's a bit more readable: run(() => { return foo }) looks better than, and assuming pre-existing knowledge of what `run` does, is more understandable than (() => { ret…

it's probably a bit of a bad definition, but i'd say "something i can have a long conversation with and not figure out it's an AI"

i think it's reasonable for cases where you know the type, e.g. an internal object which a user of a library can't access

you can do one better: imagine those developers writing typescript frontends for asp.net backends!

i think it makes sense as a way to show the safety of nuclear power plants, considering measures of amounts of radiation can sound scary to someone who's unfamiliar with them

i hadn't ever heard of this but this sounds immensely helpful. i wish this were a more common practice!

if x is `Some`, then `y` is set to the inner value and the following block occurs. you can also use this with other enums - i don't remember off the top of my head if it works for …

respectfully, i have no intentions of listening to jordan b peterson, in the same way i have no intentions of reading a stormfront article. skimming the transcript, it looks like t…

transition is something for which you are presented the full pros and cons, and given the freedom to choose whether or not you want the effects of it; being born into an amish fami…

to me this reads like the author was simply too frustrated with their wm's handling of large / secondary monitors and post-facto justified the switch to only one monitor

wouldn't this just lead to the projects that are already the most visible (and thus most likely to already receive donations) getting the bulk of the income?

ask any user what "hypertext" is and you'll get a confused look; similarly, give them a black-on-white, no-css page and they'll think it looks quite ugly and isn't a good experienc…

the author recommends in the first footnote to use other frameworks like vue, svelte, lit/polymer etc., which makes this seem more like an argument against react, when the entire a…

you can't act like surveying people who are ideologically against the concept of trans people can make for an unbiased basis on which to claim things about trans people

this seems like an architectural problem with fedi itself; considering the amount of high-follower-count (>10k) people on twitter or instagram or other places, if everyone moved to…

this is super cute, shout-out to the tailscale team!

good! i'm really tired of the whole "what is a woman" shenanigan and this is a cute symbolic move against that
