Why not have the LLM go straight to LLVM IR? What would a program look like when you remove all (or most) of the layers of abstraction needed by humans? Or are LLMs too contaminate…

How is that "threatening"? Genuinely curious.

Looks like they just updated it. Check under the globe.

I have an experimental project where I was asking various LLMs/tools (ChatGPT, Cursor, Google, Lovable) to implement an old game for me. They all failed spectacularly in various wa…

As I commented in the other post, it killed mine at work, because my boss is pushing "AI" really hard on the devs. Fortunately, he's now seeing enough evidence to counteract the hy…

I'm 62, and it's had the opposite effect on me. I've never stopped loving writing code, learning new things, trying random stuff, etc. I code all day, and spend more time playing w…

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." Pretty neat, though.

My Nvidia Shield Portable is sad to hear this. They updated it to Lollipop 5.1 and then killed it. Pretty much useless now.

The worst excesses of "modern" web presentation, coupled with a complete lack of actual gardening info...I'm completely baffled. 1% "here's your zone", and 99% "your zone is almost…

> People often don't perceive you as an actual human if you've only ever been a video square to them. I don't have a camera, so I'm just a picture of Uncle Fester. No one I work wi…

I had (probably still have) a similar-ish problem. I have an old nVidia Shield handheld that I bought a wired ethernet adapter for. Something about that adapter would kill my netwo…

It's unlikely that "regulators" had anything to do with it, given the quick resolution. I'd be more inclined to think that Epic went back to Apple hat-in-hand and begged to be let …

> And they should have been held accountable, were they? Huge stock hit (since recovered, of course), top executives lost their jobs, fines, had to give away a paid product, extra …

You told a reporter that story. The reporter, _without verifying it_, then tells his newspaper that the story you told is true and he's verified it (which is a lie). Now the newspa…

They do not publish fraudulent data. They publish data provided by the credit grantors. If the credit grantors don't do their due diligence, that's on them, not the CRA. And if cre…

> Equifax leaked about half of all Social Security Numbers back in 2017. They weren't leaked , they were stolen . Does a bank "leak money" when it's robbed?

I went round and round with AMD support between December 2022 and April 2023, explaining exactly where the issue was, sending the event logs showing the driver was being blocked be…

Fun fact: Ryzen Master needs a kernel driver installed in order to function. This driver was signed with a cert that expired a while back. For years they required you to disable vi…
