You can reductionistically do the same to claim that the mesh of charged gel tubes in our brain is just spasming our muscles when humans type words in a computer. Whether LLM are good or not, liars or not hardly depends on them being implem

I would guess that in reality they are either suspended and/or there is enough concrete at the bottom

My understanding is that reactor and waste pools are some of the least radioactive environments as they are constantly monitored for leakage.

I have often felt this doubt but the only two cases where my intuition was actually wrong was with `new` operators and php's ternary operator

Many applications simply use strings for that, like for dates

My understanding is that they cannot even really recognise a QUIC connection (maybe the first time, but not after ip roaming)

Is der the same as ASN.1?

with multiple cursors its easier than any alternatives

super ugly but they work just like inline comments and so are super easy to use/nest/visually detect and such. for example in css which does not have inline comments vscode fails to reliably comment a block of text. for strings it

The best multiline strings are those where you can have proper indentations without having to guess how indentation is handled. bonus points for making nesting easy and making copy-pasting work without breaking indentation. To my knowledge

But this is completely not decentralized at the user level (especially IIUC mastodon users cannot export/import their data) Bluesky is trying to build something as decentralized as email where still few providers dominate the market an

To me it looks like there is an obvious solution: a package should be able to issue an update to change its name. Something like - maintainers of package com.foo.pkg want to transfer it to com.bar.pgk - com.bar creates their own pgk clone a

I feel like a better analogy is trying to rent a truck to move to a new apartment and after repeated failures of trucks not working they just hire a moving company for you to get you to leave

I believe that the solution here is to make crashes "safe" eg with a supervisor process that should either never crash or be resumed quickly and child processes that handle operations like user inputs. This together with the fact

Now that python has a jit it could use them (not saying it should) for speculative compilation My understanding is that currently python can collect type data in test runs and use it to inform the jit during following executions

Except that typescript structural typing and features make it much easier to swim. Also python is far less aggressive with lint warnings so it is much easier to make mistakes

I don't understand, the parent says that not being C/C++ was a strong point and you give an counter example of a successful language that is not C/C++

In the discussion of static vs dynamic typing solutions like typescript or annotated python were not really considered. IMHO the idea of a complex and inference heavy type system that is mostly useless at runtime and compilation but focused

The problem is that globally the concepts of monopolies being bad and antitrust regulations being good have in practice left the current zeitgeist

There are already good html to pdf solutions, people using latex generally would not be satisfied with those
204.
by afiori 1y ago
The matter isn't really that something is possible only in latex, but that a department/university might have its own template/document class of arbitrary complexity that you would have to reimplement

This is a very naive view of surveillance and government trust.

In many EU countries neither head of state/government are elected then.

I wonder if it would be worth compressing the bigint as an Uint8Array So app state -> bigint -> bytearray -> compressed bytearray -> bigint -> packed utf16 string. Probably it would but help much

Then at worst progress on those would be slower. At best we would have less monopolistic global powers trying to rent us everyone of our freedoms

My understanding is that this is not a philosophy at all, it is an incidental result of a bad set of misaligned incentives, where to be promoted you need to start something new or drive growth and post launch maintenance/growth is weig

If environmentalists had adopted nuclear as one of the renewables we would be burning a tiny fraction of the gas and coal we burn today.
