I did have a similar thing happen to me a while ago, though it was on Android. My work used gmail for email at the time and so I added the account to my phone in order to check work email. Then I kept seeing applications installed on my dev

You don't need to look at the entire program at the assembly level to figure out parts that you want to optimise or prove for correctness. You do need to look at all the code the LLM generates in order to understand it. You can learn t

I agree that the problem is volume, even more so than correctness. All that LLMs and other generative models have done is enable an order of magnitude more stuff to be created cheaply. This then puts the onus and cost on the consumer of tha

Standard article saying that the reason Europe is reliant on massive US companies is because the EU makes it difficult for companies to get to that same size, and that it is a bad thing. How about if it's working as intended - that the

Ah, but can they tell the same tales as you can? Maybe in time when their beard starts getting grey in it, but that time is not now.

That makes sense that if they want to move the company to have only AI actually write code then offer retirement to people that resist this directive. Though based on the headlines that I've seen regarding Azure development I'm no

He said many times that he keeps his blog with at least 6 months of articles in the backlog. So even if he goes we won't know until months or maybe a year later.

I think that's also one of those problems in stories like this, that there's a powerful tool with the power to corrupt but only those chosen few by right can wield it without becoming corrupted. It implies that there will always b

All markets have rules, the "free" in "free market" is just marketing. (Not disagreeing with you, just mentioning it because your statement inside made me think of it)

Part of me was hoping there would be some sort of official arm mainboard announced, I know there's the third party version but they don't seem to sell the main board only.

There was a Not Just Bikes video about how Google Maps is optimised for driving where it pretty much actively hides the biggest walking routes and promotes roads for driving by making them bigger. Useful in the USA for sure but actively har

I made the mistake of trusting Google Maps with driving directions in Sicily, and it always sent me down tiny single lane (but two way) roads because they were "better" by the algorithm. That taught me to trust my gut and follow t

A surprising number of systems break down if you pause time by passing a 0 time delta, hence why slowing down time is usually the thing that gets done. The alternative (which you imply with your suggestion) is to pass the many paused states

A paused game is not like a paused video where there is no processing going on. A paused game still has all the rendering usually going on (unless the developers got time to implement something custom), audio still needs to continue, the on

I too am in a similar situation, where I am building a niche product - partly for my own benefit, partly for learning, but mostly with the idea of selling it as a commercial product. I have plenty of worries about it - will the product sell

Maybe it is the case that if phones hadn't kept getting bigger then tablets as a category would be more popular as a computing device? Realistically though a tablet kind of feels like a small TV these days, which is a screen with some

Should probably make it explicit in this case, something like: if (const auto& [is_successful, error_message] = foo(n); is_successful) In a more normal scenario you'd expect to use std::expected here rather than a custom struct wit

I'm still using Win32 (via WTL) to write a developer focused application, but I know that someday I will need to switch to Qt, dear ImGui, or develop my own UI abstraction layer. The biggest disappointment has been that all new OS feat

We used to call those things a "Video Card", which you put into your computer to get a video signal out. Back in the day there was a card called an S3 Virge, which we affectionally called a 3D decelerator card, because of its lack

If she wants to refine advanced alloys then should look into the environmental regulations first, there's a reason nearly all such processing is done in China, or South East Asia.

I like the way he included "critical minerals" in this list, sounds like the mining industry also has contributed money to his pocket.

That's a nice start but it's really just a band aid over the real problem, kind of like how politicians don't actually want to solve the underlying issue but instead just want to be seen to do something. The real insanity is

People that do light office work tend to have light office machines, which are very unlikely to have powerful NPUs or even a lot of RAM. Therefore with this minimal setup is it even feasible to do any sort of LLM based work locally on those

What if all the people currently using these "AI" services are the entire market for those services? I'm pretty sure everyone that wants to use LLMs is already doing so and already paying for the service. That would mean the

Because it has a high likelyhood of being written completely by a LLM without any human thought or attention being put into it. Being written by a LLM is a signal that the submission is of low effort and therefore probably low quality, whic

Are you talking about system/application dependencies for installed applications or programming dependencies like compiled libraries and header files?

by daemin 6mo ago
That would actually be pretty cool. Though I think there might have been papers written on this a few years ago. Does anyone know of these or have any updates about them?

Using a LLM to fix a spelling mistake is retardedly lazy. Presumably they used a free version of the LLM, therefore it is completely understandable that it inserted a snippet of text advertising its use into the output. I mean using a free

I may be in the minority but I like that C++ has multiple package managers, as you can use whichever one best fits your use case, or none at all if your code is simple enough. It's the same with compilers, there's not one single i
