If we get to the point where a local model can reliably do the coding for a good majority of cases, then the economic landscape changes significantly. And we are not that far from …

There's no disagreement, the algebraic one is the correct one, obviously. Anyone that says differently is wrong. :)

We already know he'll want a prize for that. Anyone has a Nobel for making it rain that usually goes to God?

Maybe it's just me, but the idea that the average web project out there is a complicated mess and thank God we have AI so we can finally think about the things that matter while AI…

If you run FreeBSD on your laptop you don't auto connect to public WiFi. Joking, but not that much :)

Companies like apple should be liable to pay many millions in damages for this kind of shit. The people should make it hurt so much for them that they think twice before doing it w…

Facts my friend, facts. You may not like them, you may think they are out of context and/or misused, but they are still facts. Another fact is that the money saved went to fund a (…

Yes, I agree with you that it's going to be difficult for researcher that are not at the top of their field. But if some of the top researchers started the flow, and goverments in …

Maybe it's time to move to Europe or China

In theory yes, in practice that's irrelevant unless you can show someone has done it, and nobody has in 40+ years as far as I know

That works in numerical libraries because you can encapsulate the loops into basic operations that you then lower to C. In a domain like type checking it's not nearly as easy/doabl…

> This is what you should be doing when working with C/C++ I genuinely wonder if you actually have ever written c/c++, there is plenty of code that is perfectly valid and safe (mos…

My friend, Amazon being legally allowed to behave like a schmuck doesn't imply the community can't point that out and complain about it. AWS (legally) exploits open source projects…

SSMs never stop

I remember having multiple issues doing this in rust, but can't recall the details. Are you sure I would just be able to have whatever refs I want and use them without the borrow c…

If your use case can be split into phases you can just allocate memory from an arena, copy out whatever needs to survive the phase at the end and free all the memory at once. That …

While technically true, it still simplifies memory management a lot. The tradeoff in fact is good enough that I would pick that over a borrowchecker.

Not comparing Trump to Hitler, but the life style you advocate for is exactly that of most germans and italians in the 1930s

I think this THE main reason why many people are getting fed up with javascript heavy frontends and switching to technologies like htmx. Personally I stick to json to feed data to …

I'm not an expert, so it's likely there are many things I don't get, but I wanted to have "UDP in the browser" for a project, and after looking at quic/http3/web transport I'm depr…

Beyond performance? Performance!

Honestly, I'm not sure, I don't know how you can look at the actions Trump took in the last few days and not at least consider the possibility that he is russian asset.

While I understand the dad's pain, the amount of egoism required to put your wishes in front of your suffering daughter is unreal. If she is rationally able to make decisions and a…

I'm starting to think that the US is done for, short of a civil war to stop it they'll never get out of the damage done by four years of this.
