I think the point was that even if you managed to make a O(n*2) parser it will ve fast enough for human entered problems.

Sounds like this is similar to a decompilation (pay walled article so I haven't read it). A while back a listened to a podcast where they interviewed people doing this and it was q…

Their Foundation adaptation is pretty terrible at understanding what the books are about. Going from a story where societies and not individuals are the "heroes" to people with mag…

I'm assuming it's meant the other way around. Given their estimates of a Mac being able to generate $1k (per month?) a 5090 with a lot more power would be able to generate $50k. Fo…

Strange. I've been running it on several different ubuntu 24 04 machines with standard terminal with no issues.

But with waymos it would be possible. Mark those streets as "extremely slow" and never go there unless you are dropping someone off. (The computer has more patience than human driv…

The field of "AI assisted programming" is progressing extremely rapidly. Claude code (arguably the most recent large change, even if it wasn't the first of it's type) was released …

If you just want to play I believe the Google alternative can even run on the free tokens you get from them. It's not going to do all that much before running out of tokens but you…

Even at the Max plan it's not unlimited. IIRC they say the limit is something like 20x the $20 plan. With "normal use" you're unlikely to hit the limit though, unless you only use …

If you want to fingerprint text you can also do it by small insignificant changes to text which doesn't change the meaning. If you have a number such locations with alternatives th…

The typical "best practice" for these tools tend to be to ask it something like "I want you to do feature X. Analyse the code for me and make suggestions how to implement this feat…

It is typically neither free nor open to develop on consoles. As in, you pay to access developer tools. iOS and Android less so (even if there is a one time charge for Android and …

Jim Keller goes into some detail about what difference the ISA makes in general in this clip https://youtu.be/yTMRGERZrQE?si=u-dEXwxp0MWPQumy Spoiler, it's not much because most of…

That would probably be preferable from a PR standpoint.

None of those games are made for children. Particularly not CoD and Battlefield. That doesn't mean kids don't want to play them. But Roblox is pitching itself as a safe space for k…

"People Make Games" on YouTube made some videos about it. Recommended watching for any parent who is trying to figure out if they should allow their child on Roblox. (Spoilers, the…

There are Python bindings for the framework as well. Personally I could see Go being quite nice to use if you want to deploy something as eg a compiled serverless function. I'm ass…

I have a M4 Max with 128 GB memory. Even on that machine I would not consider 70B+ models to be useable. Once you go below 20 tokens/s it becomes more like having a pen pal than an…

It depends on the model. It's typically ok for MoE models but if you try to run something non-MoE the speed will plummet. In that same thread there are people getting 50 tok/s on M…

Using chip and pin is what makes the system secure. The PIN is verified by the chip on the card so it can't be skimmed. (You can copy the PIN of course, but you also need the same …

Git won't catch new files the agent is adding. To get around that you can of course always add all new files, but then you'll potentially have your repo polluted with a bunch of te…

The problem is Dunning Kruger effect. The people who shouldn't disable these security features tend to be the first to do so. And then complain the loudest when the enter the "find…

As someone who used to work for a bank building applications I would say no. This is definitely a feature companies and organizations like banks would request if it wasn't availabl…

As someone who developed in it at the time I found the reason it died was because they made new, slightly incompatible, versions every new Windows release. After a while people got…
