But what that because their search was so bad that it took you that long to find the sources?

by daemin 5mo ago
More likely you're going to get a search engine which returns results as short 5 second AI generated video clips with an infinite scroll. (Torment Nexus rules apply here)

IIRC they're already in the Military Industrial Complex with companies like Palantir, Anduril, and others.

The streets would be far safer with far fewer cars on the road. Having automated fleets just increases the number of cars on the roads making the streets less safe. This is due to each fleet needing enough capacity on the road at any time t

This is why nearly all people that write code are not engineers, no "Software Engineer" would be willing to sign off on their code like this, yet this is level of safety guarantees real engineering is about.

So the solution is to wait and not use AI until people have spent all their money and actually figured out what the real use cases are. Good to know.

Or you know, maybe have public transport that's available so you can easily get it to where you need to go. Having a city's worth of automated cars driving around all the time sounds like a hellscape.

One thing I will point out is that the code in the article is compiled with `-march=native` and `-ffast-math`, meaning that they're really only compiling for the exact same machine they are running on and no other. This seems like it i

So an LLM is an author that writes code and immediately leaves.

by daemin 5mo ago
Who's name do you put down on a code commit? Yours, or the LLM? If it's yours then it is your code and you are responsible for knowing all about it. If it's the LLM then what do we even need you for?

But you can still change the parser to output the expression in the AST (or otherwise) so it is evaluated left to right or right to left. Just that doing it in a way that is not natural for the algorithm will require extra code.

Floating point reproducibility and cross platform determinism requires strict adherence to the IEEE standard and disabling of fused instructions.

I suspect it was also the case that if they didn't make it easy for platform vendors to implement compilers then they wouldn't do it.

I don't think hosting git is all that complicated, just install it on a server, create a repo, and push to it. What is complicated is having a convenient interface for managing the repository (users, groups, and hook-actions) and showi

Text autocomplete is just a descriptor of the technology. To do text auto-completion all you need to know if the probabilities of words appearing after other words, no understanding of those words or the meanings behind them is necessary.

"It feels unholy" - great quote at the end there. Perfectly describes someone generating a whole application without actually looking at it or using it during development. The reason Notepad++ is the way it is, is because it has b

What I found (so far on MSVC) is that #pragma once does only process the file once, where as include guards still open the file each time it is included. Though it takes almost no time to do so but it still appears on the traces. I'm g

I'd say that's bad localisation since people in Australia don't use seasons but instead months or quarters. I wonder what it says for places which don't really have seasons, like say Singapore?

I'm pretty sure you can still do that, you can at least with Android phones, but it does require a physical cable.

There's also the point that the rich executives at these companies that make computers for school use send their own children to schools which do not use computers for education. If computers were that critical to education you'd

Reddit itself by virtue of being a venture capital backed startup. It was a midpoint between Facebook and Geocities, it got people to build communities within its walled garden, but it was always going to betray them for cash.

Sadly I don't think management would go and build it properly, this sort of thing happens frequently where the prototype is put directly into production because why waste time redoing something that already exists and works. Just got t

People that manage AI agents are not engineers as they do no engineering but are instead just supervisors.

Arguably the capslock key is more useful than something like the insert or break keys.

This is the same sort of thing as is happening in other languages such as Polish. Many English loan-words are being used when there exist equivalent Polish words, even on the news broadcast on TV.

I've looked at Warp before and seen that it has some potentially useful features for a command line terminal program, like having each command be its own little history window which you can scroll independently and collapse. (I might h

Is it constantly using that 4.7% CPU? (which could be one or two CPU cores depending on the processor). For (what should be) an event driven application using any amount of CPU just sitting there idle is a big no-no. Anyone on a laptop shou

Thanks, I might give it a spin on the weekend then and see how well it performs compared to Sublime Text. If what other people say here are true - as in it uses considerable CPU and GPU resources being idle - then I'll know it's n

With Zed touting itself as an AI first editor, is it possible to completely disable all AI features so that you never have to look at the equivalent of a copilot icon ever again? I don't want to have to spend energy to actively ignore

Except these days companies are telling you to not be a craftsman but a supervisor. I want to be a craftsman and know my tools and want to actually enjoy using them, but it's becoming less accepted to do so.
