Full screen video ads on the home screen ? I don’t see this on mine.

No it’s vastly different - give it a try first . Reverse debugging with full dataflow is magical. Interestingly enough, it takes a while to get to used to it since you tend to do things the old way, when the Pernosco, science fiction way is

Pernosco Blows everything else out of the water. https://pernos.co/ ( I’m not affiliated to them in any way, just a happy customer)

Several things : immediately after 2008 less demand for exotics because clients were afraid of them, cutting costs rather than increasing revenue ( that’s industrialization with IT and standardization ) and more importantly, industry reachi

Im reasonably familiar with the exotics quant space. It’s essentially IT/data work - the days of sophisticated maths are mostly gone. There always was a lot of code, but these days for most people there’s little to no new maths. From w

These days a single machine with lots of ram and cores will handle almost everything you throw at it, barring specific compute intensive / memory bound scenarios ( current AI, gaming etc ).

Same issue with apple car. ‘ hey Siri, please play ‘call your girlfriend’ on Spotify by (artist)’ ‘Sorry I don’t know anyone called ‘your girlfriend’’ The kids find it hilarious

Is the same mechanism at play with football ? Say Real Madrid gets so much money from champions league that they can buy all the best players and then keep winning ? And then only a small clique of elite clubs end up winning all the time? (

That’s what struck me immediately - these are all typical tricks from the 90s. I remember demos ( I think complex/dope in 95) where the awesome ‘real time reflections’ where actually an animated texture. I was quite impressed when som

This is pretty standard ( or at least used to be 20 years ago ) in high performance chess programming, see https://www.chessprogramming.org/Bitboards https://healeycodes.com/visualizing-chess-bitboards

This is weird - my mother very rarely drinks but she’ll be hard pressed telling you exactly when was the last time time . This doesn’t make her an alcoholic. Or should you start the rule with ‘you’ve been drinking everyday for a while’?

I used mplayer ( the ancestor to mpv as I’ve just realized ) in the early 2000s which I think could handle everything under the sun back then.

This is a truly remarkable book, and a must read for any engineer who depends on a gc . And if you don’t need a gc, the book starts by talking about allocators, which are actually very important too !

by Agingcoder 9mo ago
It’s pretty standard in many places I think - the point here is not the null gc but rather exact memory requirements being proved statically.

This title is very hard to parse

It’s also not a solved problem unlike what the article claims, unless ‘solved’ doesn’t mean ‘works all the time ‘.

Very nice post thanks - I didn’t know about cakeml and bootstrapping formally verified compilers.

Which are both systems with a fair amount of theory behind them !

They can actually - I thought they couldn’t , but the latest ones can, much to my surprise. I changed my mind after playing with cursor 2 ( cursor 1 had lasted all of 10 mins), which actually wrote a full blown app with documentation, tests

> One objection I hear a lot is that LLMs are only good at greenfield projects. I'd push back hard on this. I've spent plenty of time trying to understand 3-year-old+ codebases where everyone who wrote it has left. Where I am,

In my experience codex fails at that kind of task in many cases. I think it’s unlikely it will succeed at that task with a real world , old, large codebase. Now, the next release might work !

This is very very very good advice, the same thing happened to me. Most importantly, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the job without coaching !

Yes I did feel the same, and it boiled down to accepting I had to try something new that I thought I didn’t want or be happy with what I already had . You have several options I guess. - it’s very likely you haven’t mastered all layers of t

Point taken, thanks a lot for playing along. I’ll do all the things if ever needed, but I get that if a cloud act request happens , your cloud provider will be able to get your stuff. I’m specialized enough in another field to know that I’m
