For a global catastrophe situation (WW3, asteroid) with worst case scenario consequences, here's what comes to mind: - bootable linux usb drives which can be inserted into any PC. - archives of programming languages - the source code f

I assume it is not as powerful at some tasks than full sized model, so what would one use this model for ?

Quit smoking, gained 30+ kg of weight, was a cardiology patient, high bp, kidney issues, depression, etc. It was horrible. Restarted smoking, lost the kilos in several months, started hiking and biking. Ended up climbing lots of mountains

It's a general purpose programming language that runs on the JVM. It can easily interop with Java and do the same stuff that Java does ('enterprise stuff' and more). It excels at handling data transformations, so it's po

Genuine question: I've been hearing good things about PopOS. How realistic is it as a windows replacement ?

There's honeysql library in Clojure, where you define queries as maps, which are then rendered to SQL strings: {:select [:name :age] :from {:people :p} :where [:> :age 10]} Since maps are unordered, this is equiva

I think the author is conflating technology with people. To me, this is a natural effect of getting everyone online. In the beginning the web was 'nice', because only a certain kind of people had access and interest in publishing

I don't think most people understand that although '100k+ sites are infected', the actual malware code runs on the visitors (our) machines, the servers themselves are fine ! I read the news yesterday and was 'yeah, th

'Midlife crisis' is just a term, coined by who knows who because who knows why. It's only a 'crisis' if you do stupid things with the greater income/experience that you have now. Don't. Your age means you&

In my experience (Clojure and Clojurescript), LISP is a powerful tool for quick prototyping and experimentation as an individual hacker. The REPL-driven flow can get you far very fast. Add a couple more experienced hackers to the mix and y

I've interviewed lots of developers and recommended 'hire' to about 15 people in the last several years and not once did we get it wrong. All it takes is a short problem to solve at home, which can be easily googled and one h

I can hardly write a correct Hello World in Java. I can read it, I can probably write it, but I've never really used it. Yet I've been writing Clojure daily for the last 9 years. This means that you really don't need Java in

Cynically you can see that as bragging, but it's just common sense if you dig into it. The ones that are not fit are intimidated and look away, because they stand no chance (I know because I was like that too). The 'beautiful&#x2

I've long pondered on the idea of a unified, indexed database of all my personal data, which can also be stored on multiple removable drives (not your storage, not your data). I've started work multiple times, but the scale of wor

Presumably. Less time the giant chip has to draw power for computation. The point is that everyone's interested in making AI power efficient, while crypto's proof of work is a competition for more power burned hashing and throwin

Crypto energy requirements go up as the currency gets more traction. TFA shows that groq is many times faster than GPT-4. Up to 18x groq claims. Faster means less energy. So I think it's just a matter of time until these things become

It's easy to confuse text generation with thinking. I found that if I treat it as a program that can generate text, it's a lot easier to write the prompt that generates code that's more or less what I need. It can do the bori

That got me thinking that these things will be able to first learn and then write the optimised code to avoid the energy usage. Think 'muscle memory' but for AI interacting with external world (or another AI)...

It's a good overview, but I think there's one important aspect that's not discussed. We're looking at AI competing with the jobs that programmers do today, but it's likely that these new AI tools will change softwar

It's a matter of habit. Once you get used to it, you quickly know how or why it happens and where (especially when you follow the correct workflow, see below). Modern editors/IDEs help a lot with the typos and wrong number of args
