    On this thread and similar, I'm noticing that some strong opinions about $LLM_PROVIDER are coming from accounts without much post history. With so much on the line, and the way tha…

    I like using atuin[1] but the capture mechanism here's pretty convenient! Cool idea. May give it a try [1] https://atuin.sh/

    For buying alcohol, I wonder if faceID will also somehow be required to verify the holder of the phone corresponds to the digital id

    Is figure 4's legend correct from the NTU link? It would seem that the grey is the top 1%, not bottom 50%.

    Flipped through the language overview on the website and noticed that matrices are limited in how large they can be because they're stack allocated [1]. Ergonomics of the language …

    Can't give them too much credit ;) the task of counting r's in Strawberry was mentioned elsewhere as a "surprising" failure of LLMs See previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.co…
