Viewing profile — stabbles

It will just thread some load-bearing seams through the paragraphs.

People who care about their health aren't ignorant about that. I think that can apply to software too: if you care about safety or privacy you might think twice before using vibe-c…

Your comment says he's stepping up, the HN title says he's stepping down, the article says he's stepping aside. Nobody says if it's a step forward or backward.

In the Spack package manager [1] we're trying to work around this with directives: deprecated("@:1.3 +minizip", reason="cve", severity="high") So, you can define conditional deprec…

Whether you agree with the policy or not, the way it's written is good. It just states the rules neutrally. See https://gcc.gnu.org/ai-policy.html . In various projects I see AI po…

Imagine this: OpenAI runs their benchmarks of unreleased models on systems physically disconnected from the internet.

To be fair, many shells have command caching, so they effectively roll their own exec syscall wrapper: $ python3 -c 'print("hi")' hi $ hash hits command 1 /usr/bin/python3

Indeed, it's a libc construct.

Nice, PT_INTERP is the only non-relocatable thing of ELF files and typically requires wrapper scripts/executables. Regarding shebangs, I've never understood why the kernel cannot r…

Not really, a theorem with a hard proof can have simple but important corollaries. It's also not unthinkable that theorems exist with proofs that cannot reduce to something simple/…

Banana Paper was on the shortlist

If you take a frame you see it's neither random nor dots: https://i.imgur.com/CgtyGjl.png From a single frame you can definitely identify boundaries because the dots are sliding an…

So the image model's benchmark is to generate an image with the corresponding SVG sources.

Nix hashes the build inputs, for which deterministic builds are not required, only desirable.

Speeding up C/C++ compiler bootstrapping, starting at a single binary of https://github.com/haampie/shpack

This begs for a modern version of https://csszengarden.com/ , where the CSS is generated by different LLMs and prompts.

Isn't that covered by O_CLOEXEC?

A medicine for those who anthropomorphize LLMs is to run the LLMs deterministically (without randomness and memory files). It feels very unnatural to get the same conversation verb…

David Hume pointed this out in 1740, and his advise still applies: A reason should be given, for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from …

I think this is fair criticism. It's hard to read this blog cause its premise is based on an "appeal to nature" fallacy.

The Dutch version of this is to wave at the cheek.

Is one day enough to find vulnerabilities? Who keeps an eye on new releases? Otherwise the problem continues to exist, just delayed by one day.

Isn't it mostly the medium that's problematic? With an issue tracker it's easier to close as duplicate

Isn't that rather difficult given the `.tar.gz` layers?
