It really tickles my brain in a lovely way that it avoids all overflow risk as well

I think it's just an interesting approach to solving particular limited problems. If I needed to solve this I'd end up either using set arithmetic or sorting the list, both of which use more memory and time. Maybe down low in some

If you had a particular idea from the LLM that you wanted to share people would be more receptive, but just dumping the whole output comes across as intellectually lazy

I will be interested in how this plays out. I believe it's Section 230 [0] that allows US platforms to not be held liable. I'd be keen to understand whether this effectively bans social media (and comment sections?) from Brazil, o

Please bring this to Australia. The Sydney to Melbourne air corridor is one of the busiest in the world [0], and yet anyone who has taken the train journey has told me to never, ever take it due to how horrible it is. Complaints include lac

I found this interesting because it reflects my experience that companies in tech seem to hire for a list of skills, but the actual job rarely reflects that. As to _why_ this happens, I think it's probably more boring structural reason

This was all very interesting, but that polyglot json/yaml/xml payload was a big surprise to me! I had no idea that go's default xml parser would accept proceeding and trailing garbage. I'd always thought of json as one

I mean.... LLM-in-a-box would actually be pretty neat! I'm looking at some air-gapped work coming up and having something like that would be quite handy

For those out of the loop but who enjoy podcasts, there is a Reply All episode about this [0] though somehow I can't find a direct link as spotify seems to have swallowed all of gimlet and killed the links. I couldn't even find a

I like colour in a tool like 'bat' or 'jless' where it helps me visually scan, but other than that I'd agree with you

This is very insightful and a handy mental model I'll be using thanks. A small nit is that I think you have DFS and BFS swapped?

I've seen these used in compilers for matching keywords - it's usually a small list of words but used so often in tokenising that it can be worth the bother. I've used gperf to (unsuccessfully) improve a key dictionary in pyt

The article had a reference for being able to compress data in a table (maybe similar in spirit to using a foreign key to a small table). I could also see it being useful in compression dictionaries, but again that's not really a run-t

This is a really nice idea. I'm not the biggest believer in tracking macros because it's so difficult to do and I'm lazy, but it's a really popular selling point. Locally we have 'My Muscle Chef' which does hig

Interesting! I've use the ast library a fair bit but usually for analysis rather than actually modifying the ast. I'd also never realised that slots provided a 'fast-path' for function calls. Edit: Ooh interesting questi

So in HeavyDB do you on-the-fly build perfect hashes for queries? I've only ever seen perfect hashes used at 'build time' when the keys are already known and fixed (like keywords in a compiler)

This is the reason I think the 'AI' angle of the post is less interesting than how he came to understand the power dynamics and strategy of the situation. Maybe AI helped him reach that point, but it could easily have been a lawye

An interesting post by Tyler Tringas about being sued as a founder. Obviously there's an AI angle to this post, but I also found it an interesting look in to the power dynamics of civil litigation in the US. In a previous post [0] they
