No, though I am familiar with its history a bit.

Maybe I just need to spend more time with Rust and deal with it, but I'm sad the industry desires to rally around it. Despite the specific subset of protections it aims to provide, I have always had issues with how ugly the language is

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see India's GDP per capita.

It's just native speakers in general across any language. I swear I can barely understand native speakers in my second language because they all mumble or liase into fractions of words that are understood only if you've learned th

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Yeah. OK. “Stop. Don’t. Come back.” Hahahahahahaha.

It’s definitely sad and weird. Times and people have changed. For whatever reason the community now is filled with a weird mix of corporate bootlickers who want to give the largest corporations money while they take away our freedoms and th

I use AMD chips, so I’m not terribly swayed by these numbers. I fixed the sentence to reflect my sentiments.

Wouldn't it be so cool if you could actually do anything with it? Imagine building a Bugatti and installing an unremovable speed limiter that forced you to top out at 75 MPH, because of course you're never going to take it to a tr

Uh. The word sounds like... not quite an audible onomatopoeia... but maybe a comic book one for if you stepped in dog poo. Not sure about this one, seems like it's dead in the water with this name. "Gurted?" I don't want

No, no, they should consider firing more people, first. Maybe also give the CEO a bonus.

I have noticed for well over a decade or more, perhaps 20 years or longer, really, I'm not sure when it started, but companies are reluctant to call people "employees." Edit: I'm too young for this, but it's along t

It will always just be a series of models that have specific training for specific input classes. The architectural limits will always be there, regardless of training.

At best, it has probabilistic biases. OpenAI had to train newer models to not favor the name "Lily." They have to do this manually for every single particular bias that the models generate that is noticed by the public. I'm s

Yeah, that's what I've been using since its release as well. I don't really see a point in trying the competition. It can't be better than this.

Hope it's better than Uber for Business. I signed up my company for Uber for Business and everything about their pipeline was broken for corporate accounts. They still send me regular reports for an account that I can't use becaus

Am I wrong in that GitHub Copilot Pro apparently has the best overall token spend when considering agentic editors?

And yet, SEA and others are still better educated than us.

by andrewmcwatters 1y ago
Well, people literally died. So, I think we all know how it played out. The same thing since time eternal will continue to occur: the educated and able will physically move themselves from risk and others will suffer either by their own vol

Better out in the open with refutations or warnings than in the dark where concepts become physical dangers.

A recommendation: we use rxi's json.lua at Planimeter, but upon benchmarking JSON implementations across all major languages, it was found to be the slowest by an order of magnitude when reading very large numbers of JSON files. So if

People keep asking for this year over year over year ad nauseam. Folks, give it up. It's completely irrelevant. It made sense when the sensor sizes were a pittance of what they are now 25 years ago. It doesn't make sense in 2025.

Oh man... I've never read anyone perceiving third-person movement controls this way before and you just blew my mind.

Hmm, I don't know Chris, I've read your comments here over the years and I get the feeling that any company that hired you would be in a good place with you on their team. There's a lot of bad hiring teams, though. So, I tota

Yeah, I think that’s a fair argument. It’s easily been the most clear indicator of social connective health I’ve seen over the course of my life regardless of faith background.

Yeah, every time I read people saying stuff like the OP, I’m like, “Yeah, sure if you’re an atheist.” The religious world is chugging along just fine. All of my religious friends have two, three kids, perfectly fine or above average incomes

I, too, once looked into this, but for anything trivial you immediately exceed the cost of just buying a Bambu Lab A1 mini. So you might as well buy that and have a lower-spec iteration, because you're going to run into all sorts of de

It’s not how I would have responded either, but people are entitled to their own ways of communicating.

A lot of people clearly didn’t like Yuki’s response, but he’s entirely right.
