Thanks. I know that there are things that can be done to bring down the compile speed of Rust, like splitting a project into sub crates. But I agree with the post that you linked. …

This is not my area, but what about Rust or Odin?

You just reminded me of Star Wars Roleplaying on Habbo Hotel when I was a preteen circa 2006. Habbo Hotel was basically an IRC and MUD with user-created hotel rooms. The Sith and J…

I'm a fiction writer. The way you make AI better at writing prose is the same way you make a fiction writer better at writing prose... You edit it manually. That's it. There are no…

I've been waiting for my lobste.rs invite for years. I joined the IRC for a few days, but being in Australia, rarely saw too much activity. I could chase someone down for an invite…

I'm just dipping my toes into AI. What prospective guardrails are being considered or used?

Just to piggyback onto this comment; has anyone tried running multiple of these in conjunction? For example, having a Python script that has one of these orchestrate others, and of…

For executives looking to impress? Not really. Being able to rattle off perspective on a book, curated by someone with very high media literacy would signal the same level of media…

It only does this if you have the apps in multiple groups. Dump them all in one group. Yeah it sucks that you can't configure each of them separately, but it works really reliably …

Look I love Rust and hate Typescript. But if NPM didn't exist, wouldn't the attackers just hit the next most popular supply chain? Cargo isn't immune to this, as much as I love Rus…

I can't wait to see what these companies will be willing to pay real humans to clean up the mess they will have made– if they survive.

Come to Australia. About two years ago there was so many Teslas. In the space of two years, I've seen twice as many BYDs. I can only imagine this will continue.

Are these not the same things people are complaining about in the West, though?

Am on Vyvanse. It helps, but mostly just covers my work hours.

Yes. I get my gym and novel writing done before work. But I lose steam at work very early. No bueno.

The reason people go from work to nothing on retirement is because work fills up the nearly all of the productive hours of a person's life. If it were to take, let's say 4 days, or…

I actually use LLMs a lot to rubber duck my problems and help develop plans. Then I manually code, to ensure my skills don't deteriorate. I feel like I'm a lot faster, with few of …

How do you ever have a social media network that is immune to this from now? You could with the best intentions start a non-profit, defederated, open-source, grass roots social net…

Builds a straw-man of the left only to tear it down. Technology is neither good nor bag; nor is it neutral. If you can't think of any reasons people may be critical of AI, given th…

Good advice. Personally I'm waiting until it is worthwhile to run these models locally, then I'm going to pin a version and just use that. I'm only 5 years into this career, and I'…

I'm still waiting on those submarines, mate

I'm Aussie. Please explain to me; why should I care whether Chinese SOEs or the US tech companies are winning? Neither have my best interests at heart.

This is a cool exercise, but I would hesitate to choose files over SQLite or another Dockerised relational database in production. They are overoptimising for the simplest part of …

Huh? When did I say that was my only skill? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

How to avoid skill atrophy? Easy. Limit your use of LLMs. Intentionally practice. It's what I do. You're losing if you're handing your brain over to LLMs right now, because compani…
