Is there a broader tutorial for this, newsgroups mostly missed me, I don't really grok how they fit into the greater internet or how their hosting works or why you have to pay a separate provider

It's not entitled, it's pushing back against a gigantic company exploiting network effects to create user lock-in, because that's easier than competing on the merit of your products.

Artist is still going to be the right word with these kinds of tools because you're still adjusting the result to get the desired look. Even if it were just collage it would still be art.

If you ask GPT to refactor a single threaded program much smaller than the context window that is truly out of sample into a multithreaded program, its often going to fail. GPT has trouble understanding bit masks in single threaded code, le

AI is not very good at single threaded code which is widely regarded as much easier. The breathless demos don't generalize well when you truly test on data not in the training set, it's just that most people don't come up w

Any chance of seeing the things I miss the most from Racket in other langs? 1. Parameters and Syntax Parameters (Syntax parameters make macros more powerful) 2. Turing complete macros (not just syntax-case) 3. Typed Racket I almost used ht

No I suspect 3 seconds is often enough. It's not learning how you pronounce each word, it's seeing some pronunciations you use and from that guessing how you would pronounce other things based on how those pronunciations are clust

nothing says aligned goals like a private corporation telling the government that if it wants its jets to keep working in wartime it needs to fork over more money

vax does prevent both, in the sense it dramatically lowers the rate. they're just not 100% effective.

what variability? AFAIK in controlled studies masks work (as in when you actually test things in a lab rather than looking at population statistics), are more effective when both people in the room are wearing them, we know the size of part

why bother with any version of the uuid standard? just generate a random 128-bit number and use it. that's all the newer ones are anyway

Is Swift support on Linux any good yet? I'd like to use it but not if I'm getting locked in to Apple.

This still just sounds like boring old iterators. Rust and C++ iterators both do all of this.

you can prevent feeding the doctored image into the sensor if the camera also senses depth, and only signs the image and depth information together. this is how they prevent a photo from unlocking face id on a phone

what is the advantage of versioning versus just naming your objects log001, log002, etc and opening them in order?

This is just incorrect regarding Google. The phones they actually make, the Pixel ones, have open bootloaders.

Oh please fuck right off. How is saying "I had a bad experience with this community so I'm going to use a different programming language now" dangling anything?

I do C++ backend work in a non-web industry and this entire post is Greek to me. Even though this is targeted at developers, you need a better pitch. I get "we did this 100x faster" but the obvious followup question is "how&q
