This is very impressive, amazing work! One question: how do you manage large code bases in scratch? Is it easy to find a piece of code? Something like grepping for specific things seems difficult. I've recently been really warming up t

It is authoritatively debunked in Sid Meier's (excellent) memoir - there was no such integer underflow bug in Civ I, it was all a rumor that went viral. The franchise did embrace the meme, though.

Sorry, the intention was just to show a cool use of complex numbers, not claim this is the simplest method to generate 12 which is pretty simple, as you demonstrate.

Really? But why? All of 2+2, 2*2 2^2 are trivially 4, and sqrt(4)=2 so why is the + more odd than others?

JIT is something different people sometimes define in different ways. In this sample, when the function itself is called (not when it's decorated), analysis runs followed by LLVM codegen and execution. The examples in the blog post are

I posit that computer programming is one of the least vulnerable among the creative professions, because how "meta" it is, and how we're all just abstracting on top of other abstractions. AI is yet another abstraction to buil

Whenever one reads articles like this, it's a bit of a consolation to remember that the same factors are shaking up the journalists' world much more and much sooner. This article, like many of its kind, could've easily been w

I wonder if it's Zig or musl that's to blame; did you end up statically linking with musl using musl-gcc, or did you forego static linking entirely?

Interesting, so this approach still works through an explicitly created service account? Do you think it's possible to make it work without a GCP Service Account at all?

by eliben 2y ago
Thanks, in your instructions it's not clear where the `$ACCOUNT.json` file is coming from? I will mention the service enable.

Fantastic story, one of my favorites by Asimov! What's fun for HN is that his target profession is actually Computer Programmer. Interesting correlation to his eventual fate. I wrote a short post about this story w.r.t. job displacemen

Yes, `llm` is a great tool. I believe it uses OpenAI by default but supports installing local models as plugins -- https://simonwillison.net/2023/Jul/12/llm/

Neither of this really requires OpenAI. You can do it with locally-running models via something like https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI

This code is enjoyable to look at - it's clean, well-documented, and clearly a work of love. I like all the small utilities that help the author accomplish a bunch of goals. I wonder if the code manages be so clean because it's on

Changes are sometimes added to the release notes doc (in the master branch) during the dev cycle, but your best bet is watching the commit stream. The release notes are much more shaped up by the time RC rolls around (see https:/&#x

Thanks for the comment, Matt! I love Caddy. For some reason I thought it needs a configuration file. The simplest cmdline I found to run it as a local server on a non-priveledged port with listings is: $ caddy file-server --listen loc
