Here is my experience. Claude did generated a rather good template for what I needed. It did not compile at first but I copy-pasted the errors and it fixed them. Not all was good, …

Sorry for harping on it, but I think this clearly reflects the difference between 2 approaches to storing knowledge, lossy but humongous, and lossless but limited. LLMs - Lossy hig…

There is a podman-compose which works almost as drop-in replacement. Almost because most common commands work, but I have not check all. And almost, because for some docker-compose…

That is a good questions and I guess we have good progress since Plato whose definition was - A man is a featherless biped. But I think we still do not know.

To some degree *all* LLM's answers are made up facts. For stuff that is abundantly present in training data those are almost always correct. For topics which are not common knowled…

Well, not exactly convince. I was curious what will happen. If you are curious it was a question about the behavior of Kafka producer interceptors when an exception is thrown. But …

You should always check. I've seen LLM's being wrong (and obstinate) on topics which are one step separated from common knowledge. I had to post the source code to win the dispute,…

So what is your pick? * AI is the next electric screwdriver * AI is THE steam engine. My pick is that the AI is not THE steam engine.

> Oberon also doesn't seem to be actively developed anymore That's pretty much it, for maybe 10+ years now. There was a successor project BlueBottle with some promise, but it did n…

It happens. It shows you the right suggestion, and if you keep typing it assumes that you meant something else and displays other suggestion. Good for slow typers, not so much for …

Maybe web.skype.com will be better? Just a guess. Anyway, that's how I use Skype when I still have to use it. Which is about once a month.

The are LLVM Caleidoscope (toy compiler) in both Haskell and OCaml https://github.com/sdiehl/kaleidoscope https://github.com/arbipher/llvm-ocaml-tutorial The Haskell one is a nice …

I guess Modula-3 was doing it as well. Records were structurally typed. But you can "braid"(?) a record and that will make it nominal type.

You know what else is self-cleaning? /dev/shm The advantage being that it does not even touch the disk.

Just an example. Should teachers be judged on how a pleasant life they live, or how good they teach?

Stop optimizing for consumers, start optimizing for producers. Maybe, you want to rethink that.

lsattr - for reading attributes chattr - for setting them You need the `i` attribute. But this is filesystem dependent. Anyway protecting the `sudo` binary from package managers is…

So, in order to write a new browser you first have to write (as a training exercise) a new OS. Not the fastest way, but it seems to work. Best wishes to Andreas.

Guess so. Unfamiliar with Zig. The point is that not a "all or nothing" strategy for a compilation unit. Debugger writers may not be happy, but maybe lldb supports all conventions …

There was an interesting aproach to this, in an experimental language some time ago fn f1 (x, y) #-> // Use C calling conventions fn f2 (x, y) -> // use fast calling conventions Th…

Well, I guess, that are islands of superconductivity and normal conductivity in the same sample. This gives a low resistance and diamagnetism which is used as proxy to real superco…

That's just a sequence of commands echo s .. # sync echo u .. # unmount echo b .. # reboot Just a guess though

My beef is mostly with GTK3 and how it was introduced. GTK4 seems to be better and at least it can be fast
