Especially they will require even more compute to get anything close to usable output. Human brains are super efficient at learning and producing output. We will need exponentially more compute for real time learning from video + audio + ha

I think idealists often get into politics as well, but they're not cold, calculating and power hungry enough to get into the important positions.

I've upgraded to Tahoe at 26.2, zero complaints from my side. Haven't had any runaway memory leaks or similar that were reported.

There are MacBook companies, but Lenovo is basically the only other alternative. I've had Dell in the past, but haven't seen one in years.

It's not necessarily a leaky abstraction. But a lack of _knowledge in the world_. The abstraction may be great, the problem is the lack of intuitive understanding you can get from super terse, symbol heavy syntax.

It's never that explicit, it's more the things that nobody takes care of, because it's nobody's job. The bigger the company, the more jobs fall through the cracks, that should be taken care of, but lack an explicit role

If you've never worked in a large corporate environment you don't know how stupid things become. In a perfect bureaucracy nobody thinks.

It’s funny, I’d say the details are right, but the overall picture is still wrong. It tries to cram too many things into this one show. Like a medley of computing history.

To stretch the human analogy, it's short term memory that's completely disconnected from long term memory. The models currently have anteretrograde amnesia.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Moltbook isn't that sophisticated. We're moving goal posts a lot here. However, I do think 1 week is ambitious, even for a bad clone.

>They say that using LLMs as advisors is already outdated, we should be doing fully agentic coding and just nudge the LLM etc. since we're losing out on 'productivity'. As long as "they" are people that either pr

>but the code to me is a forcing mechanism into ironing out the details, and I don't get that when I'm writing a specification. This is so on point. The spec as code people try again and again. But reality always punches holes

他是 is tāshì which doesn't transform I think. Did you mean to write 你是 nǐshì? I think that transforms differently though. With the half 3rd tone only dropping. The classical example is 4/4 不是. Which goes bùshì -> búshì. Or 3&#x2

>In particular, an error on one line may force you to change a large part of your code. There's a simple trick to avoid that, use `.clone()` more and use fewer references. In C++ you would be probably copying around even more data u

I think so, too, it's beautifully designed in many ways, but this seems like an oversight.

On your example, without reading into the implementation, I'm wondering if the comment is wrong, or if the comment is telling us about a hidden default, but then what does the 2 mean. // Create an LRU cache with a capac

Thank you, this is what I constantly say. For population statistics, BMI is nigh perfect, since it's much easier to gather than more accurate data points, and the number of exceptions are super small. I know very fit people that still

I got some similar responses on my post above. HN discussion quality is really suffering recently. Wondering how many LLMs are involved here at this point.

The question is how you calculate or define excess. For one, excess calories aren't 100% stored as fat. We're not that efficient. Additionally the fatter you are the more calories you use at rest. So there's a point where if

I didn't dismiss any benefits. But so many people needing an anti-addiction drug to get off addictive foods IMO should raise alarm bells. The food producers need to be sanctioned. It's unsustainable for a whole nation to be on the

There may be, but I haven't seen anyone lose significant weight either since this started.
