That is a bizarre principle. The Python standard library APIs are mediocre at best. Surely copy the Rust APIs? Or maybe Go?

> by fingerprinting my access patterns It's based on whether your timezone is in China and your hostname matches a blacklist. Literally 2 bits of information. Not much of a fingerprint.

Yeah it's unusual. Nobody does this. It was an idea. What are the alternatives if you are getting over 100 applicants an hour? If you have genuine ideas I'm curious.

Nah, the kind of AI they were using has been around for a long time (AlexNet is 13 years old), and before that they would have used classical computer vision. The only thing that happened here is that they didn't check it worked before

That's not about LLMs.

> I miss it when writing code in other languages. You can use Pydantic in Python and serde_derive in Rust. I assume most languages have a thing like that.

Fair enough. Feels weird to talk about "the best astrologers"! Like the most skilled witch doctors or elite roulette players.

What brands does the backpack community like the most?

I've never seen it in quotes, but yeah it is a very common term in pipelined CPUs.

And if you can come up with a deterministic tool that can do everything LLMs can then that would be amazing! Until then, we have to accept the non-determinism.

I'm actually way more interested in option 2 - the VNC-like experience. TUI apps are convenient over SSH because they're right there in your terminal. But they suck because they're restricted to shitty monospaced character gr

I don't think the kinds of people that believe astrology are actually verifying the astronomy though.

They don't seem like unreasonable things to me so I guess it also helps filter out unreasonable people!

"Huh never heard of Bellroy... I wonder what they're using Haskell for..." Turns out it's some kind of bags and accessories brand!

I wonder if you could solve this for programming specifically as follows: 1. Give them some easy leetcode questions. Nothing that a competent programmer would have any problem with. 2. If they pass, ask for a deposit of like $20. Shouldn&

Setting the temperature to 0 should give deterministic results but that's not any better - it's just hiding the huge variance by only taking one sample.

Going up is worse though because software has gradually got less and less memory efficient.

Bottom 10% are outliers though. Bottom 50% is much more reasonable.

They're both floating point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal128_floating-point_form... What noitpmeder described is just floating point.

The title deliberately makes it sound like people didn't know if the cat exists, but it's actually that they didn't know it was in Libya. It should be "...proved the sand cat's presence in Lybia" or something.

Never ? Never is a long time. There are already plenty of things AI can do that people confidently said would never happen. I'm guessing you're one of the "it can't think" crowd?

Crazy that the US had to block ASML selling to China. I would have thought they'd do that themselves to reduce the risk of reverse engineering.

Awful old Bash. I hate it. Seriously I don't know why you'd do this in Bash. Crazy choice.

I dunno, if most of the top of a company quits it's extremely disruptive even if everyone else in the company is competent.

Nah I spoke to a security researcher who still has access to Mythos. He says it is significantly better than their earlier models for security research. Based on my one-day use of Fable that was also a noticeable step up for coding. There&#

I think LLMs might actually have a bigger effect on closed source software - the tedium saved on open source bug hunting is significant, but on closed source software the tedium of finding bugs is extreme because of all the reverse engin

I don't think so. I can confidently predict that altruism will give you a very unreliable income stream in the vast majority of cases.
