    Hell sometimes the ai may look at values in .env or other uncommited stuff. Its execution path may depend on which commands are available in the environment. The specific model and…

    But then who's responsible for reviewing and correcting the ai-written code ?

    I used to put swap on zram when my laptop had one of those early ssds, that people would tell you not to put swap on for fear of wearing them out Setup was tedious

    The EU in its current form is mostly about markets. It routinely pushes for the sacrifice of government monopolies to the altar of the free market (see for a recent example the fre…

    Socialist is a very weird term to use here. The eu is the epitome of neoliberalism, even more so than the us

    As someone who worked on transformer-based diffusion models before (not for language though), i can say one thing: they're hard. Denoising diffusion models benefited a lot from the…

    In between the beds?? Does that mean the shower was right in the middle of the room ? So that it would be impossible to place a double bed ? This is the weirdest part to me

    I tried that concept whith my ergodox when i had an arm in a splint, but i couldnt quite get my brain to wrap around it. I could type on the right key, but not press the mirror/swi…

    You are slightly wrong. Python does allow you to put anything in annotations. ( pep 3107 that defines type annotations says that explicitly [1]). But it also defines a type checkin…

    Python has static typechecking which, while not perfect, works pretty well as long as you're not actually trying to circumvent it (or manipulating things "too dynamically")

    This feels like something that should be opt-in, not opt-out. It feels trivial to have all clients that support it send a header stating they do, and it is ridiculous that the defa…

    "And hence invertible" <- does every output embedding combination have an associated input ? Are they able to construct it or is this just an existence result ?

    They are looking at the continuous embeddings, not at the discrete words inferred from them

    Of course but configuration for software is exactly what hidden files are usually used for

    If that is the case then why call it Agents.md instead of integrating it with already existing documentation files or calling it something like "Summary.md"?

    It is files that are meant to be read by software, not humans. From my point of view this seems like a prime candidate for a hidden directory?

    On the subject of artificial monopoly, it's interesting to compare video streaming to music streaming. Music streaming platforms (Spotify, deeper, apple music, tidal etc.) Generall…

    From my noobish standpoint, it feels like most code shounldn't care what the page size is? Why does it need te be recompiled? What typically tends to break when changing it?

    Show HN: Autocommit – Git hook that pre-writes commit messages

    A personal project I made over the holidays. Makes API calls to Codestral [1] using the diff and some simple RAG to pre-generate the commit messages. It hooks itself to the git pre…
