With my minimal steering Fable wrote 20k LoC porting JAX library to Mac with Apple Silicon. It currently passes 98.4% test from the original JAX test suite. The performance is abou…

Within OS consistency is much less of thing a thing than Web design conventions. Windows by itself has had several different UI frameworks over the years, so different "native" Win…

They are comparing it to Haiku 4.5. Not Opus, not Sonnet, but Haiku, the smallest Anthropic model, 3 versions old.

You can absolutely negotiate to work 4 days weeks and get 80% salary. I've been working like this for the last 3-4 years.

It was an alternative to RSS from 20 years ago that didn't catch on.

I don't often use AI to cleanup my texts, but when I do, I fully own the output. I make a conscious decision whether to leave in every AI suggestion or not. The final text _is_ wha…

It's a good advice, if you are watching on a reference monitor in a dark room.

James Cameron is one of the few who do this.

I think whether any text is written with the help of AI is not the main issue. The real issue is that for texts like police reports a human still has to take full responsibility fo…

In all seriousness, XSLT looked stillborn even 25 years ago when it was introduced.

If they are replacing a fixed cosmological constant by a model with variable dark energy, doesn't it introduce extra parameters that describe the evolution of dark energy over time…

Probably not for 32” monitor, but I think 8k would be noticeably better for a 43”.

The plan is to improve AI agents from their current ~intern level to a level of a good engineer.

This article seems to argues from the way scientific discoveries are made by humans. It seems to me that its gist is similar to some article from the 80s that claims that computers…

If we achieved local maximum at something, the only way to progress is to make a big leap that brings you out of it. The trouble is that most of such big leaps are unsuccessful. Fo…

ZIP codes are a simple approximation, which does their job good enough in most cases. The alternatives that the author suggests are much more complicated, both in terms of the impl…

I would assume some limit no higher than 2^64, since all common file systems have file size limits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems

Because it was the only widely used generic text format for structured data.

To be precise, JSON was a replacement for XML, not the other way around. And the problem with XML was that it's way to verbose and difficult to write by hand, so it's exactly the o…

This entirely depends on the subscription fee, doesn't it? The amount of ad revenue that the service is getting for you is limited, even accounting for the fact that as a paying us…

It is always possible to have several tiers of subscriptions, a cheap tier with some additional feature and ads, and a higher tier with no ads at all. I am perfectly willing to pay…

In C++ you can force the move of the parameter by wrapping it with std::move() this should take care of unnecessarily cloning the argument in the example.
