Their success is already impossible: you cannot lose half of your population and suffer millions of casualties and still consider that a success in the end, even if Ukraine was to retake most of the territory it has lost, which seems less a

Poland is delivering 90% of NATO’s support to Ukraine. France is one of the staunchest enemies of Russia. In this situation I just don’t understand what people expect Russia to do?? Sit and accept while those countries work hard to kill its

Even the most optimistic Russian does not think Russia will ever get beyond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novorossiya which is not much more than Russia currently occupies. You really think they will eventually march o

What the hell why are you thinking you decide anything?? The man has his project and can do whatever he wants with it. Read the license.

If you think tool call and letting the LLM call an API via curl are the same thing, you haven’t a clue how LLMs work and honestly shouldn’t be commenting on the topic at all.

Tinkering means different things to different people! Want to tinker with your hardware, as bare metal as possible? Or extract every inch of performance out of your CPU? Zig is great for that.

by brabel 4mo ago
I just upgraded some code to Zig 0.16.0 and I am actually really happy with the results. It impacted A LOT of things, but the changes were actually very good and seems to have set the language for a bright future, especially with the new IO

No OP, but MCP really is just a logical next step once you've got an API. The API is the "low level" protocol, the MCP is the high level one, suited perfectly to an LLM that can call tools (since MCP essentially turns an API

The CL condition system always gets brought up when people unfamiliar with effects see effects for the first time (example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38813484 , another example: https://lobste.rs/s

A real effect system allows you to do things like NOT continue execution after using the effect (like the error effect does - if you "implement" this by using Exceptions, you're not using effects at all, just using Exceptions

by brabel 4mo ago
Yes, this article is doing a bad job at explaining why you would want effects, and one of the main advantages is exactly that it becomes part of the type system, essentially coloring every single function with a set of effects it needs to b

Keys in the Secure Enclave never leave the device (or the SE for that matter) and cannot be extracted even physically.

If they’ve done it using Secure Enclave it’s essentially physically impossible to spoof.

You seriously think current LLM is just at apprentice level in programming? It can write stuff one shot that I’d expected even some experts to struggle to do even with ample more time allowed.

Sounds like something a LLM would write.

As the post says, after an agent implements the plan, have another agent review it. Make sure to mention it must ensure the plan is fully executed. It works wonders!

No. Work in general requires punctuality unless you’re boss, of course.

You can go on time if you want to help out preparing the party. If you ask what time the party really starts, they will probably tell you 30 minutes to an hour after the official time, which is how long they expect to spend getting things r

We had the same issue until we created a review skill that we run after a LLM is done implementing a feature. We give it a list of things to check that is based on the problems we have observed previously, like writing too verbose code, and

I actually think that is likely. Humans in these conditions have to make decisions under immense stress. Machines don’t, they just need to be able to understand that sensors may fail and are not completely reliable all the time. Though they

I think people used similar prefixes for a long time. For example, Haskell has had `unsafePerformIO` since the 90's... and MSFT's Hungarian notation was also similar, though it used abbreviations for things like "unsafe"

The only assumption you need to make is how the process went about, which was described by Jarred on a HN comment when the PR was first discussed: they had prompt that described exactly how things should be translated, for each "patte

If you use it to write code for you, then it kind of is, indirectly.

What are you talking about?? Bun in Rust is a port, almost exactly the same code base on a different syntax. The architecture did not change at all. Amazing how people comment without even knowing what they are talking about.

I was feeling like sneering as well about how my emacs setup never caused any issues until I remembered emacs packages have zero protection whatsoever and can run anything anywhere, are ALL authored by some guy in Nebraska or Slovakia or so
