In all seriousness, this seems like it could be fine if done well. You can just have a model do a pass over the system prompt and set reasonable parameters based on that. That's probably not what they're doing, but it could be.

Commercial enterprises stand on the shoulders of lax copyright laws. For example, foundational Disney works would have been illegal for them to make under the copyright laws they have since purchased. https://drewdevault.com&#x2F

There are lots of famous artists that are older than copyright. > And worse than them being recognized, they might even get accused of copying their own art if someone else became famous due to a copy. You mean like right now? Here is A2

Okay, but why is that something to be concerned about? How would one be able to probe to see if a server recognizes a public key? Why does that matter?

The correct way to legislate this is to abolish copyright. It is strictly a negative force. Nobody makes art because of copyright, only in spite of it.

The only actually interesting thing about this regarding "career ruining messages" is how easy accidental disclosure violations would become.

This is the Zig repository. It is totally appropriate to expect people to be Zig experts when working on Zig itself. People should understand the repository they are talking about. If you're not even invested enough to write a project

Nit pick: the layers are decoupled from each other, not decentralized. The data layer is internally decentralized. AppViews are a layer of centralized projections of the decentralized data layer.

This isn't true. I knew what gleam was (though do not use it) and what tangled was already (and I do use it), and this announcement is new information to me.

No, the CHLCA (Chimpanzee–Human Last Common Ancestor) would be smarter than humans. It could be that chimpanzee intelligence declined faster than human intelligence. Unlikely, but I want to clarify that we did not evolve from chimpanzees. W

Understanding how transformers work does not mean understanding how they compose into the capabilities we observe. The former is concretely understood. The latter is an active area of research where no, we (in general, including you) do not

Importantly, Bluesky going south means nothing for your profile or all of the associated data. Your home Mastodon instance going south likely means starting a new account from scratch.

Their most valid criticism of Bluesky is essentially that they don't understand it (they quite clearly haven't tried it, but feel validated in sharing their opinion anyways). I'll share two reasons why Mastodon is not "t

By "research project" you you mean by people who understand assembly? Because then we're back to where we started.

I believe the problem stems from ) and )) both being one token wide. I wonder if repeated parentheses being removed from the token vocabulary would improve accuracy for Lisp code generation.

I take it you never run models locally then? Local models that can run on reasonable consumer hardware have gotten to the point of being very useful, but they still occasionally are tripped up with syntax errors. Especially if you quantize

Oops, I found it here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/#rust-releases I just assumed it was a stable link to the version being read (in this case, the latest stable version).

Simplicity, and a much easier transition from C. Zig very much takes an "extend (or as they actually say: maintain) it with Zig" philosophy, rather than the classic "rewrite it in Rust". Zig integration with C rivals tha

I have often described Zig to people as a middle ground between C and Go. It sounds like you might really enjoy it.

jj with agentic coding is really underrated. The automatic committing is awesome for being able to see diffs between every prompt, roll back changes done by a given prompt, etc.

Notably the posted project is Apache licensed, and your project is Elastic licensed. Your project looks cool and you've clearly put a lot of thought into making it useful, but the license makes it a non-starter for me.
