Meaningless noise that contributes nothing to the conversation offends me. Being a non-believer is fine, but do us the favour of having something interesting to say.

Out of curiosity, do people here still use Dropbox? I've had an account for over a decade, but haven't used it since ~2014; Google Drive and Syncthing have largely replaced it for me.

Rust + egui, but it's a far cry from the convenience or iteration speed of the web. Wherever possible, I build webapps instead, just because it's so much faster to get results (especially with LLMs!) With that being said, I'd

I wouldn't mind diversity, but in this particular case, Simon has been consistently documenting, exploring, and commenting upon AI advancements. As far as I can tell, nobody has attempted to keep up with his pace, aside from maybe Zvi,

It has to compile them; you can see the compiled binaries in your `target` directory. Rust doesn't have an interpreter for the full language, only for the `const` subset, so it can't interpret them. There have been some proposals

BAD is lying about GOOD and presenting GOOD's legitimate service as a mere IdP for BAD, such that the user provides their code for GOOD to BAD so that the latter can then automatically log into GOOD.

The existence of several type-checkers and Astral's largely-successful efforts to build tooling that pulls Python out of its muck seems to suggest otherwise. Better things are possible, and I'm hoping that higher average quality o

In the earlier days of rustc, it was handy to be able to look at the context for a specific compiler error (this is before the error reporting it is now known for). Using that, I was able to diagnose what was wrong with my code and adjust i

Wow, what on earth? That second link is not a good showing. I assume there must have been some out-of-GitHub interaction to provoke that kind of response.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that llama.cpp is "well designed" (there be demons there), but I otherwise agree with the sentiment.

Inhabiting a foreign cultural context can provide information that factual lessons may struggle to convey to the same degree. Of course, there's a limit to this - especially with regards to historical accuracy - but you are much more l

Those are worse due to economic and cultural reasons, not technological reasons. The technology itself will only get better. (Also, implying that music has gotten worse is a boomer-ass take. It might not be to your liking, but there's

As far as we know, it was "just" scale on depth (model capability) and breadth (multiple agents working at the same time).

Once it has been proven to be possible, other companies [1][2][3] can and will reproduce it, and will attempt to push the frontier. As far as we know, there's no bottleneck that's stalling development here. [1]: https:/&#x2F

You don't need to use the same model/system for every task. "AI" isn't a monolith; there's a spectrum of solutions for a spectrum of problems, and figuring out what's applicable to your problem today is on

You probably can't replace a seasoned COBOL programmer with a seasoned Haskell programmer. Does that mean that either person is bad at programming as a whole?
