> no string of reactions next to every statement you utter. I always assumed reactions were meant to be analogous to people making facial expressions as you spoke.

I don't think it's just the attention economy. I think the Internet was bound to replace a lot of the time that people spent with friends. There's just too much interesting stuff too conveniently accessible.

Maybe relative to juggernauts like C or Java. But Lua is pretty widely used.

Lua, Haskell, ML, plenty of other languages where one-argument functions don't need parentheses. I think it makes a lot of code more readable.

The Ruby syntax doesn't seem that different to many other languages. For example: xs.filter(x => x & 1).sort().join(", ") // JavaScript xs & filter odd & sort & map show & intercala

by creata 1y ago
Sincere question, not meant to be a shallow dismissal: Where is D a better choice than C++? In what aspects is it enough of an improvement over C++ to justify using a niche language?

I don't think it's going to drown people out. I think it's going to make recommender systems much less useful, so the people who care will simply return to the older methods of curation, and the people who don't care wil

OpenAI's o4-mini got the right answer after "thinking" for 29 seconds. It's a straightforward puzzle, though: no creativity involved.

It doesn't diminish most of your points, but getting PyTorch to work on Arch Linux is as easy as installing the `python-pytorch-opt-rocm` package. Similar with Ollama: `ollama-rocm`. So if you just want to use PyTorch, and don't n

Maybe ROCm is a bit of a mess, but AMD makes amazing graphics cards. And they open sourced their GPU driver, which is a massive plus in my book. If Radeon got virtualization support, it would make it the perfect GPU for running video game

A well-known related paper that I didn't see mentioned in the article (although Trefethen was mentioned) is "Six Myths of Polynomial Interpolation and Quadrature". https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/

That makes sense, thanks. I've seen people give similar praise to 4:3 and 3:2 laptops.

> 16:9 is a stupid aspect ratio for a computer monitor if you work mostly with text. Why? I also usually use it with three columns of text, and it works well at that aspect ratio.

It's annoying for sure, but at least you can resize the window. Side note: Dan Luu claims[0][1] that there's no readability advantage to narrow line width. I haven't really looked into it, but in my experience it feels like

I'd love to watch a video of someone using these tools well, because I am not getting much out of it. They save some time, sometimes, but they're nowhere near the 5x boost that some people claim.

There's probably something horrific you can do with TrueType to make it more complex than a substitution cipher.

Why is spending all that CPU time to scrape the handful of sites that use Anubis worth it to them?

It's not that bad if you're using a splittable RNG, is it? Any function that (transitively) depends on an RNG needs an extra input, but that's it.

I'd be happy for someone to correct me, but the Lua and LuaJIT repls don't seem very pleasant to use. Lua's standard library is also very barebones and... idiosyncratic, which makes it annoying to use as a Bash replacement. I

Yeah, styling it as a link makes it a bit unclear as to what it's going to do.

Well, if I had to guess based on my own personal experience, it's easy to simply be... forgotten. Nobody asks you to do anything, and you don't have the will to do anything of your own accord because everything you want feels hope

Speaking as such an unemployed Tubby McGamesalot (well, minus the gaming) I'm pretty sure we're all aware, and would rather starve than work in manufacturing.
