I understand that to be the "emergent abilities" which are spoken about. There are correlations in the dataset that are strong enough for it to seem to have an understanding which …

>The coding agents got good in November. Maybe irrelevant to your point, but I'd argue they were really good already in May if one used the right workflow (planning etc.). They've …

Agreed, async function coloring makes for better structured code because it incentivizes keeping IO code near the edges while having a synchronous core.

I doubt it, the difference between someone slightly inefficient and someone extremely efficient isn't big enough to matter compared to how much they cost in salary.

That doesn't make it not true though. Markdown generally supports HTML (though oftentimes only a subset), and is typically styled using CSS. Using a web view makes complete sense t…

> But are we really saying that the primary motivation for async/await is performance? Of course - what else would it be? The whole async trend started because moving away from eac…

I haven't made a ESP32 design, but I recently learnt KiCad and PCB design enough to do a RP235x board with a non-reference design choice (1.8v VDDIO). I only used the official hard…

But dependencies are part of a website? It literally says "Still here when the internet isn't." - but I can't go on there without an internet connection?

I use Claude for work and Codex for private use due to already having a Plus subscription. I can't say that I have noticed that 5.3-Codex is much better, but it's definitely on par…

Bandwidth doesn't tell us about how many clock cycles it's waiting for the data though (latency), does it? For example with paging, I don't think those bandwidths make much differe…

Not during office hours, no. Do you?

The interesting part is mostly comparing the nordic countries against each other. Sweden seemed to be doing much much worse early on due to the chosen strategy, but that no longer …

I won't be cancelling now as I seem to be averaging a bit more than 1000, meaning pricing will stay about the same since I should get the early adopter subscription. However, the "…

This is as accurate in Europe, and much of it has been for the last 15 years at the very least.

So, people should stop being humans? Are you also offended when you hear that the clothes you wear give off an impression?

I'm really surprised at how defensive some people in this thread are getting regarding this.

Not everyone follows the "netiquette" though. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Most of these rules rang very true to me at least. For example, capitalizing letters in _informal_…

So I posted this without finishing (probably managed to fat finger it somehow). I meant to say that I thought 2400 meant quite a bit more than 99.9%.

"People" on the planet? If that's accurate it's not super impressive, considering that probably 95-99% (or more) of people don't take chess very seriously. I used to be the top 99-…

I don't get what the point of that quiz is. All of the example countries in it instituted their mask mandates between the first and second wave. None of them did not?

He's doesn't seem very credible though. For example, there's a lot of very obvious reasons which could help explain this[1]. 1: https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/148104277829335859…

Is it really abusive if it's up to you to choose "Work at company X, make ~10% more but you have to be on-call for 1 week every 8 weeks" vs. "Work at company Y, make ~10% less, but…

Most people use a laptop (or even tablet) for their everyday needs nowadays, and they likely don't want a heavy and hot gaming laptop for that.

>Much was made about the M1 Max taking the single thread performance crown; for less than a month. This is quite misleading in multiple ways. The M1 Max has the same single thread …

No, that's true, but it's definitely possible. I know of plenty of engineering students in my home country who came here from China (and India) to do their masters, and ended up st…
