I just looked into this a bit because I thought he still had some kind of role at Microsoft even after leaving as CEO/chairman, but it turns out that in 2020 he left any and all positions at Microsoft as it was investigating him over i

Without a significant amount of needed context that quote just sounds like some awkward rambling. Also almost every feature added to C++ adds a great deal of complexity, everything from modules, concepts, ranges, coroutines... I mean it&#x2

Because Disney's deal was specifically and exclusively related to Sora, which was OpenAI's bizzare attempt at a TikTok like social networking site but using AI generated videos. It was not a deal that allowed the use of Disney&#x2

Sora was "repurposed" as their AI slop social network. OpenAI is not getting out of the business of AI video in general, they're just realizing that an AI version of TikTok isn't the best use of their capital/resour

Blacklisted usually means something is banned. OpenCode is not banned from using Anthropic's API.

Anthropic has no issue with the use of OpenCode using Anthropic's API which does charge per token.

I have not found this to be the case. My company has some proprietary DSLs we use and we can provide the spec of the language with examples and it manages to pick up on it and use it in a very idiomatic manner. The total context needed is 4

Sort of... Claude Code writes to a memory.md file that it uses to store important information across conversations. If I review mine it has plenty of details about things like coding convention, structure, and overall architecture of the ap

I wouldn't say strictly speaking that I've written no code, but the amount of code I've written since "committing" to using Claude Code since February is absolutely miniscule. I prefer having Claude make even small

V8 is a JIT compiler that uses the Ignition [1] interpreter and only compiles sections of code down to machine instructions once they've been marked as hot via TurboFan [2]. V8 can also go back and forth from machine instructions back

Not at all. Most of the good parts of boost are now part of the standard library, and the rest of boost that is of high quality have stand-alone implementations, like ASIO, pybind11 (which was heavily influenced by Boost.python), etc... A l

The quality of an opinion has no bearing as to whether that opinion is insider information.

by Maxatar 7mo ago
Yes it absolutely is valuable to have access to expert opinions and people do pay money to acquire opinions from experts. But expert advice, even if material, is not the same as insider information.

In science randomness is usually used to abstract over a large number of possible paths that result in some outcome without having to reason individually about any specific path or all such paths. It does not have to mean something inherent

But it's not completely different and a "≃" would not mean the same thing, in fact it would weaken the statement. e^x ≃ 1 + x + O(x^2) would only assert that lim (x->0) (e^x)/(1+x) = 1. However "e^x = 1 + x + O(x

They did not merge into a single entity, they continue to be separate entities. SpaceX owns xAI, and xAI in turn owns X.

Interesting, I actually find LLMs very useful at debugging. They are good at doing mindless grunt work and a great deal of debugging in my case is going through APIs and figuring out which of the many layers of abstraction ended up passing

Yes, if you exclude about half of the U.S. population (40% of Americans are obese) [1] then the U.S. has life expectancy that is on par with the rest of the developed world. [1] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obe

I interpreted OP's post to say that you take a C file after the preprocessor has translated it. How you perform that preprocessing can simply be by passing the file to an existing C preprocessor, or you can implement it as well. Implem

Modules are the future... and will always be the future.

by Maxatar 8mo ago
I think everyone hopes/hoped for a sane and useful version of modules, one that would provide substantial improvements to compilation speed and make things like packaging libraries and dealing with dependencies a lot more sane. The ver

This is untrue. The MS Office team is using a non-standard MSVC compiler flag that turns standard #include into header units, which treats those header files in a way similar to precompiled header files. This requires no changes to source c

In C++ you do it the other way around, have a single class that is polymorphic over templates. The name of this technique within C++ is type-erasure (that term means something else outside of C++). Examples of type erasure in C++ are classe

How so? In September he added a requirement that any future H1B visas from people abroad will require an unprecedented $100,000 payment.

I'm addressing the intent of the original question. No one would ask this question in the case where the struct is generic over a type parameter bounded by the trait, since such a design can only store a homogeneous collection of value

Dynamic linking will inhibit inlining entirely, and so yes qsort does not in practice get inlined if libc is dynamically linked. However, compilers can inline definitions across translation units without much of any issue if whole program o
