I think under the constrained of not using GC and not defaulting to unsafe memory that the borrow checker is a decent design. The constraints mean that you need some form of formal verification of your lifetimes. These can get very comple

I think model providers would love to run their models on a single GPU. The latency and throughput of GPU interconnects is orders of magnitudes worse than accessing VRAM. Cutting out the latency would make the models much more efficient to

Yes, but it's running on pretty powerful hardware. Try this with 1 vCPU, 512MB RAM and a website, that makes a lot of requests for a single page visit. Until recently I used to maintain some legacy B2B software, where each customer go

I don't think this advice should be taken universally. If you are talking to HR and you left because things were bad, then yes pull out the corporate speak. But if you are talking to a manager or colleague who you have been on good ter

Unlikely. Programming in highly collaborative and efficiency is hard to measure. That creates incentives for programmers in competition to typically prioritize advertising their skills by demonstration over maintaining their secret edge. B

I don't think that's necessarily true. Some companies and seniors certainly invest into training and mentoring their juniors and this can take a long time and be expensive. But there are a lot of places offer 3-6 months internshi

All the model providers have offerings that promise not to train on your code. Can you trust them not to do it anyway? Maybe not. What's the actual damage if they did? You have to balance the expected productivity loss from forgoing th

I think the readability problem can be solved by having your LSP tell your editor to display some virtual text, indicating that the foo and bar calls might error. I have to admit I don't understand the second point. If you could static

That's one hell of a task. First question is how fine-grained your capability system will be. Both in terms of capabilities and who they are granted for. Not fine-grained enough and everything will need everything, e.g. access to vario

I mostly use LLMs as a more convenient Google and to automate annoying code transformations with a conveniency of a natural language interface. Sometimes, I use it to "improve" my writing style. I have to admit I was a bit surpris

Hate the game not the player. For the moment we continue to live in a world where the form and tone of communication matters and where foregoing the use of AI tools can put you at a disadvantage. There are countless homework assignments wh

They don't really use browsers. They have basically build their own react-native version, but instead of using system UI as the backend they have a backend abstraction layer with implementations for their own rendering engine or altern

Yeah, but at least in Germany they are a textual description of a diff, not something I can use in a standard diff viewer.

This is nice, but it would be great to see some more features from VCS applied to laws, e.g. git blame and git log.

Good GUIs are deceptively easy. Lines of text: font rendering is pretty difficult to begin with. But it gets harder when you want to match native platform look, handle different display sub pixel layouts or are dealing with a script that do

I wouldn't put too much stock into the take that high skilled workers benefit the most. I see it as just a current snapshot of the research. After models exceeding ChatGPT-3.5 came out the consensus seems to have flipped. Maybe the cu

Do we actually know whether it got this specific example right? It got 20% on HLE, but I think a few questions are quite a bit easier.

I think it just reinforces what has always been true. If you work on a cool new framework, programming language, database, etc. your job doesn't end with coming up with a nice API, a whizzy type system or fancy benchmark numbers. You n

If I understood the graphs correctly, it only achieves 20% pass rate on their internal tests. So I have to wait 30min and pay a lot of money just to sift through walls of most likely incorrect text? Unless the possibility of hallucinations

Mac OS does some amazing things for security. An immutable root OS, sandboxing, very user friendly disk encryption. But there are certainly decisions that hold back the platform. Their business decisions have driven most developers away fro

I did not find the article very compelling. The biggest problem is the lack of context. What kind of products is the author talking about? I got the impression that this is mostly about SaaS offerings, but who knows? Moreover, the arguments

When I use VSCode I do so because of the extensions. I use slack, because my employer tells me to use slack. I use discord because that's where my friends are. Features, coercion and network effects are more important than UX. I thin

Looks like a bit dud, though given their competition and where their focus is right now maybe expected. Going from 60 to 120fps is cool. Going from 120fps to 240fps is in the realm of diminishing returns, especially because the added latenc

I think loco.rs, which actually builds on axum is the closest thing right now. Last time I toyed around with it though, I found it to be pretty verbose, particularly because it uses SeaORM

That sounds like a management error, not a Pete problem. If Pete was told to get a demo done as soon as possible, that's what he did. And in many cases that's not a bad thing for management to tell people. Finding product market f

I wonder, who are the people applying for unpaid internships at a random e-commerce company? The only thing I can imagine is that people pretend to work at these positions to fulfill some degree requirement.

I tried the demo and it looks quite promising. Right now it seems to be focused on handling a few queries over high throughput streams. I wonder if it could also work for the following scenario. It behaves almost like a normal sql database,

I actually thought the opposite. If you are small you want to move quickly and spend as much energy as possible on developing the product not managing infrastructure. There is a lot involved, OS updates, certificate management, secrets, mul
