There were early efforts at developing computers with high level language instructions burned into their chips, notably Burroughs with Algol and TI with Lisp. But that concept only applies if you're burning silicon. A VM emulates the a

It's remarkable to think of a 100 story skyscraper towering over a town of 20,000 people. Yet that's what it is! I agree that's surprisingly graceful and elegant and doesn't detract from the environment, which is quite a

Not only extra time, but lots more internal prompts and tokens, thus potentially increasing your bill. I'm thrilled with the results but expect 10-100x more token consumption.

It requires a lecithin emulsifier and then is "naturally" (artificially) flavored and colored? No thanks.

I'm a game and game engine dev and I use Cursor as my daily driver. I rarely exceed my $20/mo plan. It's been very helpful as a pair programmer and I've developed an optimized workflow for using it with my engine archite

That's hilarious, especially now that formerly democratic countries that formerly had free speech can't be trusted anymore, either.

The new "router" will try to pick the cheapest/easiest model. If you know you want it to write code, say, "Write a TS (or Python) program to do... then run it and show me the output.

It's not the model you're unhappy with; it's the new router function, which attempts to choose the model (using another LLM and RAG). Those decisions are steered by costs, so it will choose the cheapest (worst) model unless

Fantastic. Well-written and enjoyable, this article hones in on how we should all view AI writing.

I did. That's complete nonsense. It's an invented justification for animal abuse. You "saved" a tree frog so it's ok to cage big cats? Wrong.

Complete nonsense. They're animals caged for entertainment and don't even belong on this continent, much less in your cages, held out for ticket sales and surrounded by food and beverage and merch vendors.

The abandonment issue is real and at the heart of this[0]. To keep a trademark in the US, you must demonstrate that you still make and sell a product labeled with that mark. Not only has Oracle never made or sold anything called JavaScript,

We used to keep people in cages[0] and show them, too. If you love animals, don't do that to them. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elephant_Man_(1980_film)

Revolting. And proof that these animals don't belong in cages. Zoos are an outdated entertainment concept. We used to show people in them, too. Circuses with live animals are equally cruel. If you want to learn about animals, you can l

That might be more than it's worth. The content looks pitiful. I think Roku is overreaching. While trying to find something on Paramount Plus, which I have, it suggested Paramount Plus on Roku, a different channel which I don't ha

This story about Trump's new proposed visa rules reads like all of the other new proposals. You can't tell anything and everything is very much in flux. There's a big fee for a visa, except when there's not... except whe

Fantastic take. Matches my own experience 100%. Well written, and funny, too! What's not mentioned is that these "weeks of architectural decisions" that must happen in minutes are exhausting, just as they are when we spread

The problem is that they're calling it "reasoning" when these are nothing more than repeated calls to the same probabilistic guessing machine with different stacked prompts. That's not reasoning. We've all seen peop

It likely died for 3 reasons, all related. First, it only supported the Amazon app store, not Google Play, and no one cares about that. Second, Google decides what versions of Android get the Play Store and not all "open" versions
