    I found that music video last year, and it blew my mind. So good

    Funny enough, I find myself closer to the conservative Christian upbringing I received as a child than ever before, but I totally agree with him on needing to unlearn some things w…

    I guess I kind of agree with this, but Monero-related stuff is the exception for me.

    Not the biggest fan of crypto myself, but allowing LLMs and "AI" stuff with open arms while condemning PoW crypto is hilarious. They should just say they don't like crypto at that …

    Being conservative with technology choices and only using Node LTS has paid dividends lol

    You can drop the library into your project as a single file and it'll still work without NPM. You can just copy it straight from GitHub, even.

    The guy who threw the molotov should have called his Congressman, signed a petition, and paid his taxes.

    I did this exact same thing for porting a compiler from one language to another with Codex. I run tests at every step, and verified that bytecode output was byte-for-byte identical…

    My compiler runs on my computer and produces the same machine code given the same input. Neither of these are true with AI.

    Comment #46521731

    My favorite benchmark for LLMs and agents is to have it port a medium-complexity library to another programming language. If it can do that well, it's pretty capable of doing real …

    This isn't an ownership problem, it's a medium problem (and perhaps a legal problem)

    It's worth noting that many, if not most, games on Steam don't have DRM. You can often just take the .exe files out of them and play. Sometimes you need a polyfill for Steam's clie…

    It got my hopes up that they had backed off so they could solve their problems before returning to subject the kernel to their language.

    You don't generally need specific versions of GCC or Clang to build it I'm pretty sure.

    Unreasonably good at writing compilers? Not in my experience lol.

    Sometimes it's nice to know that something will run and compile reliably far into the future. That's a nice thing to have, and wide support for the language and its relatively unch…

    Yes, that is success. A pretty large degree of success.
