wow, i checked the documentation, and you're right. the type is indeed poorly named!

I disagree with the timestamptz advice. I tend to use timestamp (without the timezone), this forces me to use UTC everywhere, so I'm not even tempted to use anything else. I work i…

afaik before the final sampling, every "next" token has a probability, so theoretically it could select the 10 most likely tokens (based on some kind of sampling algorithm), but yo…

i think it actually makes sense, an LLM just imitates human communication, which happens to be useful from time to time.

keep in mind that we have "vibe coding" now, where the goal is exactly to _not_ have a human in the loop (at least not constantly).

It's fun to theorize about an alternate universe where JavaScript has a LISP-like syntax (Brendan Eich originally wanted "Scheme in the browser"[1], so this isn't so far-fetched!).…

It seems like that the author by using JSX to express code directly as an AST re-invented LISP? See Greenspun's tenth rule[1]. [1]: https://wiki.c2.com/?GreenspunsTenthRuleOfProgra…

How can you ban AI? It's literally designed to produce text that's indistinguishable from text that was produced by a living human being.

It's sad to see that Web Crypto[1] does not support Ed25519 (yet), only RSA and ECDSA for asymmetric signatures. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypt..…

Because of the company VPN, I usually teleport to Israel, and I have absolutely no idea how to change the language on a right-to-left layout with a Hebrew alphabet...

I guess I'll mint an NFT that's going to be a screenshot of this HN thread...

Slightly related question: is there a plug-in that can color my code based in scope instead of syntax?

Tangentially related question: could Nuitka target WebAssembly, given that according to their overview page, they translate Python into C? Usually when it comes to Python -> WebAss…

I think the key takeaway is to never believe when someone says "Don't worry, you'll get promoted in no time".

Is a CS degree important nowadays? I do have one, but literally no one mentioned or asked about my education during an interview, ever.

Oh, it does... It generates code that's vulnerable to SQL injections, XSS, etc. It was trained on such code! (hopefully this will improve)

Iteration protocols[1] are also nice (`Symbol.iterator`[2] and `Symbol.asyncIterator`[3]) [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... [2]: https://develope…

When you evaluate a form deep in a function, how do you handle variables that are defined "outside"? How can you evaluate such expressions?

Well, how can we teach copilot to avoid raw string interpolation in such cases? Sure, some people will correct it, and the AI might improve, but I suspect that the majority of the …

So black holes can't evaporate? How does Hawking radiation works if the back hole are has to stay the same?

try it with https://github.com/m1el/woscope-music/blob/master/oscillofun...

How exactly is this distributed? The readme isn't really useful...
