That's almost it, yes. But in my experience, to actually get where they're going quickly (as opposed to spending hours and hundreds of dollars stumbling around in the dark), coding agents generally need more interactive hand-hol

This approach works well, I agree. But I keep wishing that I could invert it. The architecture I feel like I keep yearning for, is a traditional CLI program that encodes most workflow knowledge/decisions as real code; but which does &q

I think the GP used the word "tuned" incorrectly / to make the wrong point here. A general-purpose OS is one to which you can build a stack on top of it for any use-case you can think of, and it will cope with whatever

I get the sense that these disassembly/decompilation projects believe that some types of IP-laden asset data can be shipped embedded into the project — not necessarily "legally", but in that they'll likely get away w

I must be using LLMs very differently than y'all, because I can't think of a single thing I would rely on an LLM that's "dumb as a stump" to do for me. To me, LLMs are for asking research questions + exploring desig

Can you say more? I don't have any memory of Qualcomm-related scandals(?), but I just read the news; I've never really been a user of their chips.

Keeping in mind, though, that this is a jellybean part. You're supposed to be able to order "a" 5532 without specifying the supplier, because many vendors produce "a" 5532, and they're all the same. Different v

I imagine it's a lot like FPGAs: - the hardware you need for a production use-case is relatively small, because production {models, bitstreams} have been heavily size-optimized, stripping out everything not needed to get a good result

So, this linker does fast incremental linking, which is great for development iteration speed. But I assume that any kind of incremental linking, is mutually exclusive with link-time optimization? I.e. you'd never want to use this opti

From what I recall, these companies don't offer any option to opt out of your session transcript data being used (and sold!) for "regular" adtech targeting purposes.
