My statement refers to this claim: " I'm 99% sure this is written by an LLM. " The hypocrisy and entitlement mentality that prevails in this discussion is disgusting. My recommendation to the fellow below that he should write

Well, there must have been a good reason why you don't like the book. I didn't see good reasons in this whole discussion so far, just a lot of pedantry. No commenter points to technical errors, inaccuracies, poor code examples, or

I would rather care whether there is a book at all and whether it is useful. > I write a book about a subject I just told you I'm clueless about Use AI. Even if you use AI, it's still a lot of work. Or write a book about why pe

Who wants to be so petty. I'm sure there are more interesting things to say about this book.

Who cares? Still better than just nagging.

Criminal prosecutions under § 54 are handled by federal attorneys acting on behalf of the government, regardless whether a potentially aggrieved company is still in business or not.

Thanks for sharing the video. "Solving the wrong problem" is indeed a persistent challenge and a well-recognized pitfall in engineering. Ada/SPARK offered capabilities before Rust that remain unmatched today. SPARK provides m

The irony is that people call Musk a capitalist, but at the same time turn up their noses when he expresses anti-capitalist ideas. IP law has indeed become a tool for "intellectual monopoly capitalism" that concentrates knowledge

And was it worth it? What were you able to achieve with the LLM-support you payed for? How much time did you save? I did experiments with Claude Sonnet and Opus and also with Gpt-5, the latter via my Perplexity subscription. My experience w

This is amazing. Great work! I actually intended for a long time to use TidesDB in a project (MUMPS successor, integrated programming language and database), but I haven't gotten around to it yet because the prerequisite projects are s

I guess if it leaves the "rotation of five tropes", most people won't buy it anymore.

Interesting article. If we don't restrict to Unix-compatible userlands, there are many more impressive operating system kernels written in Pascal or its descendants, e.g. the UCSD p-System, Lisa OS and the Classic Macintosh OS. Windows

Funny idea. As Claude A asks: "What test could distinguish 'actual' consciousness from a perfect functional replica of it?" Their shared uncertainty becomes evidence itself—genuine reflection rather than programmed confi

It's just the name of the service, as imagined by its creator, Cognition Labs; it's called a "wiki" because it creates wiki-style documentation similar to Wikipedia's format. There are always people who complain abo

Don't tell me you don't know this service. It's extremely useful to get to know the code and architecture of a project. You can even ask questions about the code and get the relevant references to the corresponding sections i

by Rochus 11mo ago
Ironclad has a POSIX API, so yes, in principle it should be possible. There is an OS on top of Ironclad ( https://github.com/Ironclad-Project/Gloire ) which uses GNU tools.

by Rochus 11mo ago
Ironclad isn't a microkernel, is it? At least the device drivers, file system and network stack seem to run in kernel space. I didn't find any strong architectural hints pointing to microkernel design in the implementation so far.

Sounds interesting. Have you published your generator somewhere? I don't understand yet what you exactly do with the askama templates (the result is Rust code, isn't it?).

Works great, just generated my first songs. Great composition and arrangement (not yet as great as Suno, see below). But the sound quality is better than Suno (less compression/alias artefacts, more transparent)! Is it possible to uplo

Cool idea. So you essentially only use the Typst parser (i.e. the generated AST, I assume the text format of it)? With askama templates you essentially implement your own Typst renderer, which sounds like quite an achievement. May I assume

"Transpiler" is no less well-defined a term than "compiler".
