All these Pi-based replicas look and feel so fake. Same can be achieved cheaper and with less waste just on an emulator on a PC.

Speaking of non-political side of him: was not he wrong about "innate grammar" necessary to understand langage? LLM do not have such circuitry, yet they somehow work well...

Cats have longer genomes than dogs too FYI.

This does not contradict what I've said.

No, it cannot, as while (true) {} is not UB and should not be optimized out. EDIT: oops, yes you are right, it is not c++ after all.

The simpest AVR programer, widely used in ex-USSR was called "5 wires" and consisted of 5 wires, ic-socket and 25 pin connector for the parallel port.

I want my AT90S2313 back. The best most versatile AVR imho of its era.

It does not have to be bestselling books; just some niche books. And also I can guarantee you I can write you a book, say, "intro in datascience" without actually knowing much about the subject, just by mixing together existing ma

I have frankly dealt with some people, who wrote books, had lots of titles, yet were incompenent in the very subject their books are about. So yeah, does not mean much to me. I personally love whiteboard tests; shows your ability to code qu

I wish it had AVX512 Fp16.

The worst intel did is fusing off AVX512 in Alder Lake. It is the _ONLY_ consumer grade CPU family with hardware AVX512 FP16 support. Fantastic instruction set for machine learning.

Hy looks good, python would benefit from lisp-like macros.

I live in a developing country. We stopped buying cakes/pastries long time ago, as they have become way too expensive for the quality. Home baked stuff is like 1/3 price for better quality.

Nothing bets a hardrive wrapped in a blanket, in case you accidentally hit or drop the bag you put it in. This is how we did in my university, in late 1990s.

"Much has been written about various tools for profiling a leak, understanding heap dumps, common causes of leaks". Eww.. leaks and heap dumps. Someone needs a healthier diet.

We had an intermittent power outage in central Asia, around 21:30-22:00 in Stockholm time. It is like thousands miles away. But we have a weak grid anyway, so it might be unrelated.

nah tor is not trustworthy, as it also exposes you as a tor user; in a less developed countries, where not many people know how to use Tor, you'll stick out real bad. It is much better to use shady random proxy servers you'll find

Yet another catchphrase made by someone who lived through Lisp's heyday. There is not much "magic" in Common Lisp, aside from homoiconicity; it is dated old language, which reeks the smell of 1970s and 1980s in every corner o

USA's FDA is notorious for not finding therapeutical effect in plant medicines. The same plants which have been in use for 100s years in ex-USSR and Germany. USSR's pharma was relatively prudent and would not peddle non-working so

You should probably reread what I wrote, and lay off your patronizing attitutde. "It is just better, you do not get it" won't work here. Yes you can do functional in Lisp, as you can do it in even in C, but why? The support f

What kind of "freedom", precisely, are you talking about? Freedom to write purely functional programs? Well, then you need Haskell or Clojure at least. Freedom to write small, self sufficient binaries? Well you need C or C++ then.

Actually this is precisely same cadence as in good old C. As someone who writes lots of low-level code, I find Go's cadence very familiar and better than try-catch.

Most of people who tend to brag about Lisp's (Common Lisp) superiority, never actually used it. It is not as impressive as many legends claim.
