With this amount of VRAM, do you happen to be using a Strix Halo or a Mac?

Hi HN, I’m considering getting an R9700, budget only for one unit currently. Is there anything useful I can do with local LLMs within its 32G VRAM? I’m also thinking to try and lea…

In my experience, using chats merely as stack overflow replacement, e.g. for providing obscure API usage examples, is a huge time saver — otherwise I would’ve had to lurk around ga…

This was a prelude to his argument for needing a set of moral standards.

This is an amazing and inspiring talk. Humanising and empathetic, especially when compared to the vast majority of other related content.

There’s a relevant book from No Starch, highly recommend. The author also has a series of blog posts on the topic. https://nostarch.com/building-a-debugger

Thanks for this, I’m actually learning Rust (albeit slowly) atm, and still can’t wrap my head around how arena allocs would fit the borrow checker

From what I understood, their critique of RAII is twofold: coupling of allocation and initialisation, and enforcement of deallocation. The ease of use of smart pointers makes it te…

Projection. Your account posts mostly negative or passive aggressive comments.

Can you elaborate?

Yep, and I feel many commenters in this thread are comparing value propositions only in terms of specs. I’ve built a number of Mini-ITX cases, from 5L to 20L, and they are a pain t…

I believe the tools like Resolve are built around VFX reference platform specs. I doubt anyone will standardise on the basis of a rolling distro where you can’t pin glibc version. …

Honestly, I completely missed the quotes on the first read. I agree with the sentiment that crimes should be called out as crimes and not, e.g., ‘oopsies’.

For type erasure (it’s sometimes useful), custom allocators, I/O, for example.

I agree. His negativity has probably detracted quite a few people from him that otherwise are quite aligned. Still, his historical remark is rather peculiar. As for the language, y…

Same. Also the “russophile” part sounds kinda racist.

I respectfully disagree — a lot of conveniences that C# provides produce GC trash which will cause frame spikes. I remember having had to add a non-allocation string.contains alter…

I have email backups from a provider where filenames are extremely long.

I’m not as experienced as some people here, but in ~10 years, I’ve never needed to write code for anything other than x86 or arm. So I agree with the author on their priorities.

Obviously. I responded to the commenter with some context, but your comment doesn't bring anything to the discussion.

If I'm not mistaken, he's either affiliated with or otherwise connected to the effective altruist movement, hence he can't be unbiased. I find this article tells an interesting per…

I’ve never heard of anyone making distinction between “sound design” and “sound effect design” in gamedev. I don’t know anything about cinema or other creative industries though, b…
