Drafting last Friday, my first hand was zero lands, my second hand was one land, my third hand (bottoming two) had three lands. However, I then kept drawing four-drop spells and no…

> the game is fundamentally stingy with cards Just play blue, that's not a problem then.

Hard real time is a thing in some systems. Also, the current approaches might have 85% accuracy -- if the LLM can deliver 90% accuracy while being "less exact" that's still a win!

Humans do it with access to the register-level data sheets, which are only available under NDA, and usually with access to a logic analyzer for debugging. Usually, the problem with…

Tell me you've never developed a driver, without telling me you've never developed a driver.

"Linux kernel devs tried Rust in the kernel -- you won't BELIEVE the reaction!"

Or run a VM in Windows? Hyper-V is pretty decent for many use cases.

Ctrl-Z suspends the program in most UNIX shells. ("fg" to resume) Ctrl-S may or may not end up stopping the program, depending on how much it's printing, and how much output buffer…

All my shell RCs turn off xon/xoff -- that's a relic from the PDP-11 days we can all do without. Windows has the Scroll Lock button that's supposed to do this if you need it, but t…

I don't think this analysis matches the underlying implementation. The width of the models is typically wide enough to "explore" many possible actions, score them, and let the samp…

Tool using LLMs can easily be given a tool to sample whatever distribution you want. The trick is to proompt them when to invoke the tool, and correctly use its output.

Huh? It sounds to me like this is arguing one should be OK with /r/conservative doing it (and joining up, even) but then not OK that other subs do it, too. That doesn't really pass…

We had it, it was called "Aspie," but somehow that wasn't good enough.

Also, why would you need to compile it more than the one initial time? Are you actually making changes to Luau itself, rather than just using it?

Perfect! I will make sure to follow your instructions precisely.

Voting rights in founder-led public companies, and liquidation preference rights in private investments, are very different things.

Because someone who might invest some money, maybe wouldn't invest that money if they didn't get the preferred class protections? This is similar to how different credit risks get …

> they force their users to appraise their offering in terms of actual value offered That's a good thing, right?

Python is still a 10x or more performance sacrifice for anything that's actually CPU throughput limited. Or, alternatively, your VM hosting cost will be 10x larger on Python, than …

If you're necessarily going to go with Lua (not recommended, IMHO) you should at least try luau.

There's a second side of this story, that nobody ever really talks about, because the cost is so diffuse. There are real, legit, uses for fingerprinting. One of the more common one…

Let's say a typical base service (network attached RAM or whatever) has 99.99% reliability. If you have a dependency on 100 of those, you're suddenly closer to 99% reliability. So …

Another one of the biggest uses of Lua outside the hyperscaler-type software like nginx or redis: Roblox. Soooo many kids run games on Roblox every day! Roblox not only runs entire…

Yes, the data center was designed for peak load. Unfortunately, the data center is hooked up to the grid. De-coupling that connection is what this article is literally about. Then …

Yes, they do, and no, they don't want to wait longer for the result just because you think they shouldn't.
