It’s never bad advice to consider something.

Is your assertion that it takes more time for a CPU to read values out of a 30 byte struct and do a couple shifts and branches than to parse a JSON representation?

I think that goomba bumped into the squished goomba Mario had just squished. Mario was just a bit to the left so the flat goombas hit box stuck out to the right a bit and the other…

Yeah it doesn't really land well as a joke because it's the very first thing. Joking hot takes at least need a bit of warm up so readers know what's going on, whereas this just ope…

A notable improvement over the GLHF strategy for interacting with GPT models.

There's not much data in the performance section of the front-page readme of the repo, but the one bullet point there seems promising: > Coremark 1.0: ~7% slower than native [0] [0…

Do you never find yourself interested in the results of a code change you have just made?

Might be fun to use diffusion to make adversarial/false answers to the pixelated scenes, depending on how pixelated they are. If they're quite pixelated you could probably come up …

This is incorrect

Why would you expect a law professor to be an expert in avoiding being framed?

I use arch and I don’t like fiddling with my system, I just wanted something light. After the painful initial install a few years ago it’s been really stable on the laptop I used t…

There are fundamental issues with x86 that make it impossible to match the efficiency of ARM. Variable length instruction coding for instance, which means a surprising amount of po…

It's not solving a technical problem. It's trying to avoid points where the user has to make an active decision to continue looking at whatever is being served and thus have a chan…

You obviously live in a much nicer place. Sounds like the GP lives in a rougher neighborhood in a larger city, which if you’ve never experienced, can definitely leave you wanting t…

Ah yes, the goes-to operator -->

I want more freedoms than just the ability to complain about not having freedom though.

With shared array buffers it’s not actually a big problem. We’re building a multithreaded game that targets wasm and we just spin up workers up front which all use the same shared …

Even knowing what they all are it’s annoying to read compared to having them spelled out. I’m constantly pausing to translate. If you’re talking to someone IRL you just say “hardwa…

You can, but the docs for Deref beg you not to use Deref for types that aren’t smart pointers because of how confusing and surprising the results can be to an unfamiliar reader of …

Writing tests and doing TDD aren't the same thing. The commenter is talking about TDD in particular I think, not saying "unit testing has no success stories".

There’s only two possibilities: I’ll either win the lottery or I won’t, so it’s a 50/50 shot!

Unless you have a weird skull

Any noise strong enough to have a good chance of hiding the signal would completely defeat the benefit of having dynamic frequency scaling in the first place, I think.

You can’t just slap “perhaps” on arbitrary statements and expect to not be corrected if they’re inaccurate.
