I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate on your perception of what a "compiler chain" is and the supposed LLM role in it?

If the script does a lot of unstreamable replacements, you're right. But there are still ways out of bash. I prefer no fork, no bashism, reusable functions: set -euf replace () { local t= REPLY=$1 t=&

Your history is off, and you are mixing different eras and browser standards with other initiatives. Frames gave place to (the incorrect use of) tables. The table era was way worse than it is today. Transparent gif spacers, colspan... it wa

You can see frames in action on the POSIX spec: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/ They can navigate targeting any other frame. For example, clicking "System Interfaces" updates the bottom

You don't throw away dams, bridges, factories, submarines, planes. There is a lot of man made stuff you just cannot easily replace. Instead, we maintain it. Remember, _this is not about you_. The post is about qemu. I would argue that

It's just the MIT study again, isn't it? Cool study. We should wait for the peer reviews before digging too much into it though. These are, after all, preliminary results.

I think AI could have been great. It's just that greed took over, and it took over big time. Several shitty decisions in a row: scaling it too much, stealing data, marketing it before it can deliver, government use. The list goes on an
