My takeaway from this story has always been that both MS and Plan 9 simply passively implemented Unicode as received. It was only IBM that had the vision to see that the encoding was wrong and they should make a new one.

Running what are functionally massive orphanages seems like it'd be harder than the purely technical problem of automated gestation.

An example is translation. I MTLed some text recently where the name of a (fictional) city was translated about a dozen different ways. Sometimes you'd get a calque, sometimes you'd get a transliteration (including several wrong o

I think this is the same as the brush stabilizer in Krita.

That's how I do "prompt engineering" haha. Ask for a specific format and have a script that will trip if the output looks wrong. Whenever it trips add "do NOT do <whatever it just did>" to the prompt and resum

Ideally people who have .DS_Store, .vscode, etc. would put them into their own $GIT_DIR/info/exclude files and not pollute the shared .gitignore with stuff from their personal setup.

How? If CC companies refuse to process any itch payments unless the content they object to is removed from the site, then crypto would have to become itch's sole payment option. That would probably kill the site.

In the strict sense, sure, but the point is they depend not only on the seed but on seemingly minor variations in the prompt.

There are subpopulations with high birth rates. They are very small currently, but if you really think the general population will die off for want of reproduction, eventually they will comprise a sufficiently large fraction of the populati

Certainly this is a factor; is there a reason to think it is a significant one?

They'll do that to large PNGs too.

Probably they mean uploading WebPs where an image is expected often doesn't work.

I have one of those too. The connection dropping out is the real crux of the matter I think. If it's merely slow you can just wait longer, but an intermittent connection requires qualitatively different design. Many people have already

The point was language design influences compiler performance. Rust is heavily designed around "zero-cost abstraction", ie. generate tons of IR and let the backend sort it out. Spending all the time in LLVM passes is what you woul

Presumably then the performance impact of any switch will be positive.

So they replaced a nested for loop for checking for duplicates with a set data structure. Surprised such a common thing was in git.

What translation models are better than LLMs? The problem with Google-Translate-type models is the interface is completely wrong. Translation is not sentence->translation, it's (sentence,context)->translation (or even (sentence,c

IIUC this is how VanJS works. // Create new Ref const r = van.state(0) // derive functions as adapt/watch/multiplex. // Implicitly depends on any Ref it uses and re-runs when they change.

Goethe's Faust does not make a diabolical bargain, he makes a bet : that all the power and pleasure and knowledge Mephistopheles can offer him will not slake the longings of his soul, that nothing will pierce his world weariness with

Such as? The basic property of overloading is it's open. Any closed set of overloads can be converted to a single function which does the same dispatch logic with ifs and type traits (it may not be very readable).
