I’d argue that is not the most ideal Prolog solution. More like it’s simply a recursive implementation of an imperative solution. For fractals you’ll want to be able to recognize a…

Well, to be fair it reads more like he can go back to school after a one year suspension. Not totally "kicked out".

Yes, it should not be crazy to see that a website started by people like Paul Graham and Sam Altman would naturally be full of hyped up VC nonsense. Their entire business model is …

Yes! It’s sad how ignorant of IBM and US technology industry history some of these comments are. Then again, I suppose every generation does a lot of its own “this time we’re diffe…

I recently left a job at a very different large company with a similar timeframe (a little under ten years). Pretty much everything this author states is related to my experience. …

I've used www.firstrade.com for decades now. Not a well known name, but extraordinarily reliable.

the article states this person is walking in commercial area. that is what is creating the liminal space. she’s not strolling through the woods. she’s basically just bothered that …

There's a bit of contradiction in the article. The main objection is the author's feeling of uneasiness in open spaces. "liminal spaces" created by, for example, large parking lots…

This article predates the resignation of SawyerX (due to a lot of the abuse and misery heaped on him), who was the Perl release manager (aka "Pumpking") that was in charge of Perl …

I'd say you're being a bit overly cynical. There's plenty of good news in Perl too. specifically, since you mentioned smartmatch, that's been pretty well fixed as of a couple of we…

I have a Gemini too! I still use it sometimes, I just open Termux and use it as a highly portable scratch pad for working on small coding projects. I wish that the handheld form fa…

No, it's the very definition of being able to generalize.

I have been unimpressed with ChatGPT4's ability to generate code for problems of even medium complexity. Even if given partial or complete code from another language and told to tr…

"However, we must not forget that AI needs to learn as well from vast sources." Well, that's actually the problem. This current wave of AI is not "learning" anything really. An AI …

The article begins by explaining that it’s a follow-up to an earlier article on Wayland!

Yeah, I mean I work inside a Fortune 10 company and after countless man hours across multiple teams we have exactly zero LLM applications in production and the pipeline heading to …

I am generally against forced arbitration, so I understand the push back against this. Then again, and maybe I am just overly tired right now, but I cannot imagine a scenario where…

While I am sure there are faked videos out there somewhere I have personally performed multiple non-fake multi-board breaks as have many other people. Generally there is one "trick…

I completely agree. People in the US need to learn that happiness cannot come from a purchase, whether it's chemicals to ingest or whatever else is being marketed to them. It's ama…

Yes, of course. Things like numpy are far from new and in many cases are easy to use wrappers around the real computational workhorses written in, say, Fortran or C. For example, c…

Is that an instance of a "human in the loop"? Suppose a customer calls customer service and the service agent uses an LLM iteratively to get a good answer rather than the customer …

Just released! NetBSD 10 is now available. As always an impressive list of supported hardware!
