I never said I liked the future, but it is what it is. If you're building products without LLMs today you're going to get outcompeted by people who do, and can iterate faster. I ha…

"Lisp" refers to several different languages in the same family, which contributes to the confusion. Perhaps the default choice is Common Lisp which itself is specified in an ANSI …

I really enjoy writing lisp but the ecosystem of libraries is a barren wasteland. Try to find a TLS library for Common Lisp that doesn't rely on openssl, for example. Last time I l…

Why engage with the substance of my comment when you can be pedantic am I right?

Honestly just go on huggingface and try one that'll fit into your vram.

Some of us use em-dashes habitually, and did so before LLMs. Call it le ponctuation juste .

If a Raspberry Pi had industrial environment ratings and was certified hard real time, then yes it could be considered a PLC. All the ones I've encountered in the wild ran VxWorks

>You must also explain why there isn’t a third point on the line, and why that line’s existence is guaranteed, which is not obvious (at least to me). There isn't a third point on t…

>There's always a way to find only two points. As soon as the set of points are defined to be non-collinear in Euclidean space, this property must be true, purely from the definiti…

... yes, I understand. There's nothing novel here. I feel like I'm taking fucking crazy pills.

>Let X be a set of points not all of which are collinear. Then, there are two points a, b in X such that the line l passing through X only passes through a and b. I don't see how t…

>Every finite set of points in the Euclidean plane that is not collinear has a line that passes through exactly two of the points. Isn't this a tautology? The problem definition st…

Not with steak. That has been thoroughly debunked over and over. Just use a meat thermometer, it makes it easy peasy.

Go for it. I'll probably stick to Linux, though.

I know this is in jest, but because of the "hurr durr" connotations, only the absolute most bearded of free software zealot neckbeards are going to ever run GNU Hurd beyond simplyt…

The problem with a reel mower is that if you let the grass get too long the reel mower won't cut it, so you pretty much have to do it every few days when it's growing fast.

Depends where you live, what season, and what equipment. I live in the PNW where the grass grows crazy fast in the spring, and I use a reel mower since my yard is small. It needs t…
