LLMs can infer a lot of details from "common sense" (i.e. statistical association). As a human, I can figure out what each field's types should be, so your frontier LLM could, too: https://chatgpt.com/share&#x

Agreed - I have no idea what this stack is good for, or how it competes against other full-stack efforts. Would love to know more!

My understanding is that Linux has no form of CI [0], so they don't actually have an automated way to check for compilation across all platforms and compilers. [0]: https://lwn.net/Articles/1018802/

Yep, agreed on all accounts; I'm an advocate for Rust for Linux for these reasons, among others. My thinking was that the Linux kernel already uses a custom dialect of C with specific features that benefit their workflow; I'm surp

No? Of all the reasons software sucks, multidisciplinary programmers are unlikely to be near the top.

Linus was a hypocritical asshole here, but more to the point, why are they using strings for this anyway? No byte arrays / literals in their C dialect?

The term I'm familiar with is "outliners", as is used by Logseq: https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/start%20here Unfortunately, this is quite difficult to search for, but it might give you some leads.

This is an insane release! Lots of new features, many of which address existing pain points, and performance improvements across the board. Bevy is such an impressive endeavour, and I'm excited to continue following the ride.

Thought this was about the Australian TV show, but I'd completely forgotten that was named after an actual concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruen_(TV_series)

Your tone sucks. You're being rude about them not answering questions they weren't asked yet. There are much nicer ways of going about this. Edit: Oh. All of your replies are like this. Please take a chill pill.

Tauri wraps around the system's web view, so it's semantically equivalent to Electron. (nb: system web views are very inconsistent, so they're considering adding a Chromium renderer, which will bring everything full circle)

Certainly, but I'm sure there's a more descriptive name than "cask"!

Please kill the Homebrew terminology if you can! Its idiosyncratic names are the bane of my existence; it might have been cute in 2010, but it's frustrated me ever since. I don't want to memorise their twee names; I'd much ra

I believe anon-kode is a decompiled Claude Code, so it should work identically when paired with Claude.

Well, they're being trained with reinforcement learning now, so I, for one, am excited to see what kinds of unique extremely performant insanity they'll produce in the future =D

Plenty of games have, with the most famous example being Valve's games, which (eventually) ship the same tools Valve uses for game creation.

A technology that can create new technology is quite important for technologists to keep abreast of, I'd say :p

And software rules the world ;) More seriously: software can drive hardware, and software can be endlessly replicated. The ramifications of these for those of us living in the physical world may be surprising.
