Yup. I use it for a ton of mundane queries (stuff that I might have used Google search for in the past) and it's great. Nice and fast and correct more often than not, especially if you prompt it in a way that it invokes Google search

I mean, you can always add enough triangles, shaders, entities, etc... to make any engine slow to a crawl... Anything that pushes state of the art will have more performance issues than something that doesn't.

After learning Access in university I agree. Just toss it into the ocean...

Honestly LLMs write decent enough Lisp. They do however tend to want to use only functions and thus it ends up a bit verbose, but prod them enough and they'll make macros that work and write nice code. Lisp written by an LLM is nicer

Was going to write something about the article but then poked around the blog and it led to Github including this gem: https://github.com/jrm-code-project/llambda which is much more interesting. I do agree with a lot

Maybe. If they do kill it I'm sure they'll keep something sport oriented though.

Is the problem the self taught programmers or the people who would have gone the finance or law route in university doing CS and then not caring?

Keep in mind Google owns Fitbit and Fitbit has watches with 7 day battery life. Pixel is for techies, Fitbit is their health tracking product.

I mean, Terminator the movie came out in the 80's... I'm sure if LLM-based AIs posed this kind of threat the government would quietly force all the vendors to cooperate and slow down. Google, MS, IBM are all government contractor

Ah. Yeah it sounded combative. Also there's a stereotype of Eastern Europe being poor. Also both myself and another poster interpreted top of the line as meaning the house itself + finishes, not just price/location. Anyhow it&#

The link I provided is a builder and the standard cost for what's considered somewhat high end modern construction. Tons of new homes like this BTW. Your link is just expensive homes on real estate with varying levels of build quality

It doesn't matter for quality of life but it matters politically. Larger GDP in nominal terms = more influence in the world.

> It is amazing that a $100 device with a single core and 512mb RAM can do so much and run for so long. Not to sound like certain influencers but computers are pretty fast and the state of modern software is incredibly wasteful.

Hopefully you moved here for the nature because that's legit the best part and the only thing we have over other countries IMO.

Yes, when demand spikes prices rise.

I never thought it was "just like" the US. It's worse. It has all the downsides of both the US and EU with none of the upsides of either. We get taxed like EU for healthcare that is inaccessible and we still have to pay fo

It has nothing to do with economics being an imperfect science and all to do with the nature of collecting real time data. Anyone who can collect accurate real time data can make $$$.

Yeah, our unemployment rate is still higher though with basically no productivity growth since 2015 (see link). Maybe 2 years straight of these job gains and then we can talk. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/

Understanding how bacteria contaminates food in the first place is the first step. In the case of steaks, bacteria is only on the outside (they can't penetrate the muscle) so the sear makes it safe to eat somewhat raw on the inside.
