I mean, if you have the boards, then you obviously have the definitive answer about layers. Can't argue that . As you point out, if they designed this thing in the late 1970s, there is no reason for those giant arrays of drill hole

Delimited continuation machinery? It seems like call/cc is becoming quite a bit more acknowledged as being overkill while the more restricted shift/reset, control/prompt, F-operator stuff, etc. compose better.

IBM was using flip chip in their mainframes in the same timeframe, too. That doesn't mean usage was widespread. This was 1970-1975, after all. In addition, 2-layer has some big advantages over 4 layer for reliability (won't dela

I don't know how the author would feel. But, honestly, for a libc replacement, I'd personally be okay with that ... If you can't be bothered to look at a Makefile (or ask an AI to look at the Makefile), you are almost certai

I guarantee this works poorly, at best. If this actually works solidly, Google is in deep, deep, deep shit. It would mean that I can put a mark on my non-AI videos and demand that Google not allow upload of my identifiably copyrighted cont

The fact that they have to keep this closed source is a giant red flag . It means that you can copy it or strip it if you have the knowledge. I'm not all that worried about stripping it (I'm sure that's trivial). The proble

I agree that the vast majority of punters don't care about "local AI". However, if you can deliver 90% of the value of AI for 90% less cost, that is a really big incentive. Companies will spring up to fill that kind of g

If you want to use Git with a sane UI, use Jujutsu. As a Mercurial user, you'll feel a lot more at home.

Yeah, I mean, if I'm going to step away from the Python ecosystem and let AI manage/polyfill my dependencies, I might as well shift the whole way to OCaml/F# rather than Rust. Then I get the benefits of GC and strong typing.
