I don't know the exact details, but I have heard (on C++ Weekly, I believe) that it offers some advantages when linking code compiled with different compiler versions. That said, I…

My personal experience is that the increase in ads has encouraged me to subscribe to creators I like via Patreon and view content on there. If many people are doing this, I wonder …

I opted for sorting by project. We live in a world where you can get most things the next day. Then, I keep a few part-sample books for common components like capacitors and resist…

My take is that it means founders are sharing the risk by investing in the company and by taking a smaller salary than they could otherwise. This means there is a clear motivation …

It saves writing lots of boilerplate. If you implement it for a type, you automatically get: , =, ==, !=

From what I understand, it can learn and execute the algorithm fairly reliably, though it won't be 100%. When the LLM generates text, it is randomised a little, as well as some tri…

Because often, the tokens are broken up as random groups of numbers. For example, let's say 1984 appears quite a few times in the source text, this will become a single token. Give…

Too your first point, I am not sure what constitutes new or novel here. I've seen the AI do exactly the type of borrowing from different sources you describe and producing somethin…

From what I've seen in the art world it is common practice to build on the work of others without attribution. Is this really all that different? That said, I think these tools sti…

From what I've experimented with so far the biggest barrier to using rust was having a mature ecosystem of libraries to use. This is changing though!

I am wondering if after changing career, would they still read this site, or is it part of what they wanted to get away from?

I find picking one calorific food and cutting it out, but otherwise eating the same works really well. For example I used to have small bottle of orange juice with lunch, which I c…

That could be part of the reason why 85% drop in power consumption only leads to twice the perfomance.

It is interesting to wonder what this might look like. There are still limits to what is physically possible, we only have finite resources. I also personally value having a divers…

The upside of that maybe there is more awareness of what is going on. If there is no centralization, could we end up in a world there no consensus on what is acceptable or right?

I've read applications like little snitch are popular enough that some malware changes their behavior if it detects it. It must be a non-trivial number. I do personally out of curi…

Though if you think about the number of hours of use and testing javascript and browser technology in general has had, maybe it does make sense.

After coming across this, I wonder just how much of the brain is required to exhibit intelligence. It seems like some people can get away with a lot less that the 'normal' amount. …

As I understand it, Go also give some guarantees about the maximum amount of time the garbage collection will stall the program. An issue where ever you are trying to achieve consi…

It is a fair point, if you want to keep the playing field level and you want to compete on the basis of coding skill then you need to manage the code on the server. Otherwise simpl…

It would be great to be able to remotely connect to the world, so plays can use the language of their choice. Personally I like web sockets and JSON, as they are well supported by …

But the code path is first pass + optimisation gives correct code. That doesn't guarantee the first pass generates correct code. I believe there were bugs along those lines at one …

Interesting they are using it without optimisations. The compilers is used far more with optimisations, so those code paths are actually far better tested. I have heard of cases wh…

I suspect setting up motivations for the AI is going to be a big research issue before too long. If you can write a simulator for the task you want to it solve, you should be able …
