This absolutely is real JIT compilation. Copy and patch is a very well known JIT compilation technique.

When did you last try? They've improved a lot. Also often the difficulty with writing code is simply knowing where to start - getting past the blank page. AI can help a lot with that. Often there's a task where I've got kin

The watermarking only works with long wordy text. But yes I agree, it's pointless because we already know that nobody can detect this.

Ha me too. That explains why 4/10 is "slightly better than random chance".

They don't even know that, come on.

Aha exactly what I was talking about. Vibe coded in a few months. Maybe it has slop bugs but if you have as many employees as Slack it shouldn't be that hard to whip into shape. There's no excuse for Slack not having done this the

> “Is it too late to say sorry?” is actually not a moral question at all when viewed through a Kantian lens. The question in itself contains the answer: yes, it is too late to say sorry, not in the sense that has anything to do with the

You've got to re-evaluate... something if you genuinely believe that. Pretty much the same level of sanity as "very few good films use CGI".

Actually that case might be caught, depending on the architecture. E.g. on RISC-V float and integer registers are separate and the compiler would fail if you tell it you want an integer register and you try to load that with a float. That

They're a new category of thing. They aren't really "just an" anything. When the wheel was invented cavemen probably said "it's just a stone".

I'm not sure what you mean. From the hardware's point of view data loaded from memory is just bytes. You can happily store a float to memory and read it back as an int. Hardware doesn't care and neither do assemblers. And the

Interesting, did you have to use a Chinese model to get around guard rails?

by IshKebab 2mo ago
Yeah that's my point. Maybe AI will lower that cost to the point where it makes sense to write e.g. a native Slack app. I dunno, we'll see.

> everything else inside an Electron app can be identically fast to a native application. HTML layout and rendering is almost never as fast as GUIs like Qt. Also Electron apps usually use JavaScript which is slower than "fast"

Everyone is not wrong, they just don't mean the straw man that you are taking down. The fact that there are integer, float, vector registers etc. does not invalidate the point that people mean when they say "assembly is untyped&qu

Yeah.... maybe . I think AI is still too prone to go down rabbit holes and not understand the whole picture well enough to come up with good optimisations. It's probably good at micro-optimisation, e.g. pre-allocating arrays. But is i

LSP is a well known term among programmers these days.

Was the hacking done by AI or just the write-up?

Watermarking doesn't work like that.

I did try that back when I only had 32GB. They definitely helped (especially swap) but didn't completely eliminate the problem. I don't know how they do it but I've never had a single issue with OOMs on Windows or Mac. I know

Oh no, some hypothetical person can't find a mediocre cookbook from 20 years ago. Amazon stop!! Do you even hear yourself?

I think it's pretty frustrating being an outlier in any dimension. Your specific needs are always ignored. Being smart is no different. At least when I was in school they were always like "eh he'll do fine, let's concent

I just want them to make memory management sane. Is that too much to ask? OOM shouldn't cause a hard reboot. Ok actually I "solved" this by upgrading to 128GB of RAM (before the rampocalypse), but still they should fix it.

I think it would be a good start if crates at least had to opt in to a build script, and adding one later would require permission from crates that depends on it. The vast majority of crates don't need build scripts, so it is vaguely f

This is a direct consequence of their loss to Epic. They saw Apple win because they didn't have any competition to stifle, and they want the same. Pretty shit.

That does exist, it's called semantic highlighting. In any case, my analogy was not perfect, but neither was Russ's! The point is it's totally normal and not "childish" to use colours to help distinguish things. Tra

I can imagine using it for simple web stuff. E.g. its perfect for something like Forgejo. But yeah... Seems like the world has moved on mostly.

That must be why traffic lights and electrical wires and transit maps are all black and white...
