If your game fits in the bounds of N64 hardware it makes perfect sense IMO. You basically get virtually all modern platforms for free. Much easier than wrestling with all the moder…

You can purchase much cheaper TB to pcie converts in china. You add some generic 12v power and you're done.

Are you really being so obtuse? Of course in real code you might use the error. For printing, forwarding it to a logging frame or anything else. The point is the error does not gua…

Did you ever use go? ``` package main import ( "errors" "fmt" ) func getMessage() (string, error) { return "DO NOT INSPECT", errors.New("something went wrong") } func main() { msg,…

Unwrap is an explicit action. Checking an error is usually just forgotten. No unwrap can enter your code without the dev being accutely aware of it.

It does that, yeah. But my experience mostly in codex with gpt 5.5 and 5.6 is that if you micromanage it enough you can get clear code. It just gets really annoying to repeatedly d…

I program mostly in Rust, Haskell and Python nowadays. I indeed would love to go gc-less dependently typed. But I work in a team where the code I build is expected to be maintained…

I agree. Rust does not go far enough imo. Still catching most memory problems at compile time is still much superior.

Something that is important to me is that it's caught at compile time. A memory issue is a logic bug. Fil-c simply moves that from undefined behavior/security issue/incorrectness t…

Get real, you think LLMs got to where they are by training on 80 year old works? Your point is technically true, just basically irrelevant for LLM training.

I really don't think that's true. Of course after the fact a counter example looks easy. Because look at it, it's obviously that it doesn't work. But that disregards the process of…

These models are not copies, distillation is simply a part in the pipeline. suggesting that the Chinese models are full copies through distillation is simply wrong. Just because th…

Does anything truly better exist? I'm not a mathematician but I did use Rocq and Lean during university. And I found lean to be better.

Ah yes, because if a person agrees with anything a chinese company does it must be because they love Xi. Get real. Munching of the top student in a class is clearly prohibited. Dis…

Given that model distillation has existed since the early days of the current AI boom, and no robust defense has been demonstrated, the available evidence does not support your the…

Distillation is not an attack. It simply a way to train a model. Not doing it when you are behind is akin to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

This is just not true. Not even electricity or hell water is globally available.

That someone needs to vent is not proof of anything. People get their panties twisted for the tiniest things. I would expect that if Andrew had a real valid reason than it would ap…

There is no C/C++ static analyzer that can guarantee what rust does: full memory safety.

Nothing superficial about 120K USD donations. I have personally seen nothing but good vibes coming from Bun to Zig and Andrew. Re-writing is not "throwing under the bus" you make i…

I'm sorry that I don't agree with you that a out of touch board of directors or shareholders are better from the get go than Musk.
