Plus it's limited to 65k entries. Perhaps a btree where parent nodes sum the weights of child nodes would work well. Using the input hash scaled by total weight, a binary search lookup would compute the partial sums for comparison on

There are two types of programmers: the pragmatists who see programming as a chore and would gladly never write a line of code again given the right tools, and the gardeners who don't want their enjoyable and rewarding garden-tending w

This is mentioned in the article. Your mistake is that you've assumed that the intelligence has an innate survival instinct, or an aversion to "harm", which is simply not guaranteed for something not honed by millions of yea

This would also mean that you wouldn't need unsafe{} to call into the Fil-C ffi. The majority of unsafe{} in (non pure-rust) cargo dependencies is calling C ffi. Rust + Fil-C is a great match that fills a particular niche, I'd l

I've always thought this was a cool idea. It's obviously been on the minds of Wayland protocol developers since the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be possible!

Jokes require mutual context. You failed to create a joke because you did not ensure the prerequisites were met.

Is pasting em-dashes everywhere some kind of inside joke?

Minecraft (and Java) just runs great on Linux. I've personally experienced a 30% performance improvement from Windows.

I recently wrote klondike in Rust after getting frustrated with bugs in my friend's LLM-written version. I highly recommend it as a recreational programming exercise, the first 4 hour blitz filling out the types was a blast. Later, t

This is great news for nvidia users on Linux. It means that they don't need to install a VAAPI compatibility tool like nvidia-vaapi-driver. I also hope to see Vulkan Video supported in the open source userspace nvidia driver NVK soon

Base conversions are easy, but which off by one is it? base 4 or base 6?

> I wouldn't recommend using Nvidia on Linux though. This was true 4 years ago, but is outdated knowledge now. Nvidia used to disallow distributing drivers with distro images, but they have since made agreements with some popular d

This happens to me too. Often my dream plows forwards with unsound assumptions and I wake up believing something confusing.

If only AI safety research had a mechanism this clear. "We have proof that building the machine will kill everybody, so get to work making a provably safe version."

This is called the AI Stop Button Problem. Computerphile has a great video on this (featuring Robert Miles) which explains why this is not a reliable solution to AI getting out of control. When the AI is smarter than all of humanity combi

I also invented this! There is cool stuff like angle adding and angle doubling formulas, but the main downside is that you can only directly encode 180 degrees of rotation. I use it for FOV in my games internally! (With degrees as user in

The fact that LLMs pick from the most likely tokens is really on its side here when the objective is putting together a plausible continuation of random characters.

Fighting the borrow checker is something you do when you're learning Rust. After you learn how to design things that way in the first place, it's just there to keep you honest.

Webp was not as exciting. JpegXL has cool features like 20% improved lossless jpeg recompression and progressive decoding. Not to mention all the cool stuff used in the writeup like implementing a font in the prediction engine.

> visual coding impeded their ability to learn text-based coding As a former child, my opinion is the opposite. I learned visual programming with Lego Mindstorms NXT in ~2008, and later developed an interest in text programming on Roblo

Since the CPU is doing cache coherency transparently, perhaps there should be some sort of way to promise that an application is well-behaved in order to access a lower-level non-transparent instruction set to manually manage the cache cohe

I have never seen anything use Result<_,&'static str>, that is such an anti-rust thing to start with.
