Probably because humans are supposed to naturally live in groups where human friends are plentiful, but lots of human children instead live only with parents.

That's cool but I think the proper solution is to write a Linux kernel module that can reserve GPU RAM via DRM to create ramdisks, not create a userspace filesystem using OpenCL. T…

That makes no sense: shipping all dependencies (e.g. shipping a container image) gives perfect binary compatibility on Linux, which is what flatpak/snap/appimage do. It can also be…

That's what it does. "Replacement" is only a problem for people who are dependent on someone else being dependent on them.

Follow-up: Absolutely. Here's a business-focused follow-up report that builds on the previous essay, now incorporating hard data, technical insight, and financial reasoning to make…

I think it may be better than humans at producing plausible sounding bullshit to advance a given arbitrary point. Management consultants (junior ones) are probably doomed. Example:…

This seems pointless, i.e. they might formalize the machine learning models (actually, the Lean code seems an AI-generated mix of Lean 3 and 4, probably doesn't compile), but the a…

But can they drive as aggressively as human drivers can? (which does probably increase accident rates a bit, but also can make rides 10-20% faster, especially if executed by an aut…

Well then such a cache needs obviously to have limit to the disk space it uses and some sort of cache replacement policy, since if one can generate a zip file for each tag, that me…

Or perhaps switch to well-engineered software actually properly designed to be served on the public Internet. Clearly generating zip files, writing them fully to disk and then send…

Well, looking at the SourceHut code, it's written in Python and handles git by spawning a "git" process. In other words, it was written with no consideration for performance at all…

I can report that I tried this setup (Claude Desktop on Linux + codemcp) on the Rust uutils repo asking it to add a "--repeat" option to cat to repeat the output N times (without t…

This requires an MCP-compliant client, for which Claude Desktop seems to be the main (or only?) choice. Note that Claude Desktop can be run on Linux using https://github.com/aaddri…

It's cool, but how do you know it won't kill you, esp. given that it's human nature to stop paying attention since it seems to do all the work itself (even if eyes are kept on the …

The donations would go directly to the individual doing this with no relationship with Mozilla (e.g. with Patreon or similar), not to Mozilla itself.

You can just zero out the pointer variable with __attribute__((cleanup)) before returning its value (from a temporary copy of course).

That's completely asinine since it can't be made to work properly with inlining (including LTO), architectures that use a shadow stack or don't use a frame pointer, and also ridicu…

They pay them for making Google the default search engine, and it is hypothesized that the payment may also influence them to not provide ad-blocking by default and possibly other …

They could, but they don't want to do that because they get paid by Google to not do it or because those actions get them money in some other way (from advertisers or whatever), or…

The use for donations could be for a single person whose job is to check the upstream code for any antifeatures (telemetry, ads, product placements, online service defaults, Google…

The pioneer of AI alignment.

"styling on your end" means the _user_ (not the website designer/developer) deciding how controls should be styled and that's much easier if everything uses the same controls becau…

But it seems like it's being used to generate short snippets that in the examples seem to be equivalent to command lists as opposed to generating a full program that actually plays…

[flagged]

Seems like it might be more effective to use the LLMs to write a program that plays Factorio rather than having them pick the next action given a game state. Also in general I thin…
