They do. But humans are individuals. You can’t blindly control them, you have to set up positive/negative incentives and try to enforce them. Then just hope for the best. This is a computer. They’re asking to be able to program it to i

I’ve never used this project and don’t know anyone involved. But it sure seems interesting how every time I hear about someone just doing a “rewrite it all with AI“ they seem to turn out to be a giant jerk. Maybe not the only one. I don’t k

They don’t have to match. As an example, what about a divide instruction. A machine without an FPU can emulate a machine that has one. It will legitimately have to run hundreds/thousands of instructions to emulate a single divide instr

Why does it take $17m to beat Git? How will you ever get the network effects needed to get sustained users with a commercial tool? Given Git was created because BitKeeper, a commercial tool, pulled their permission for kernel developers to
