I actually had cursor on in yolo mode with the github integration on and it's actually pretty good about doing commits and pushes and opening PRs and stuff. Though I would never do that in a repo I cared a lot about. It doesn't

I think the email is what shifted it from being a funny joke to being super obnoxious to a lot of people. If it had just been the message on the printer, a lot of people wouldn't have noticed it and a lot of people that did would have

And Rust developers drop down and manage memory directly when they need to and even inline assembly, sometimes.

Why do you use pointers and a high level language like C when you could just write assembly and load and unload all your instructions and data into registers directly. Why do you need functions? You could just use nothing but JMP instruc

I think it's good for explanation purposes, but not actually great as notation, especially for operations that are so common, too much room for ambiguity, especially when writing quickly.

There's a common theme in posts like this where the writer knows _too much_ about programming, and tries to do things that are awkward in Rust, but a lot of these problems don't actually come up in practice. Sometimes I feel like

I think the safety of those tools as a static, unchanging code base is not a major concern, but when you're writing and maintaining code, every code change is a potential source of new bugs, and Rust does eliminate large classes of bug

His new explanation is just formalism, as far as I can tell.

Bluesky is where the sane people seem to have gone.. there was a split between that and threads, but threads is dying off.

This is a very thoughtful and well engineered solution that I think unfortunately removes one of the main advantages of choose your own adventures with an LLM -- that you can just tell them you don't like their choices and want to do s

I asked chatgpt their very first example: "Why did Zelensky ban Truth Social" and it gave me the correct answer (it wasn't banned and it was never available in ukraine.) I am skeptical about this report.

You absolutely can. https://www.crossplane.io/ I'm managing a few dozen cloud accounts on azure and aws with nothing but crossplane and a very small terraform script that bootstraps the control plane account.

I've written a bunch of k8s operators in go (and rust more recently). That's how basically everyone working with k8s does once you reach a certain level of complexity. I don't really understand, in fact, why you'd use y

I'd love to see a human-assisted version of this where you can sign up to play and choose the model and write your own system prompt and have a scoreboard. I suspect a carefully crafted prompt for a specific model will make a big diff

The way the games play out is so baffling, and the fact that mafia wins so much probably shows that the LLMs in general are pretty poor at reasoning. I'd like to see them sort of cull the poor performers, because looking at the transc

Well, if you break everything down to the lowest level of how the brain works, then so do humans. But I think there's a relevant higher level of abstraction in which it isn't -- it's probabilistic and as much intuition as an

If he keeps saying it, eventually, he'll be right. He's been looking at the latest LLM and calling it a dead end since GPT-2.

I actually think Europe has a lot of levers to pull in terms of manipulating American politics and public opinion that they have thus far refrained from engaging in, and I, as an American, think they should be much bolder about speaking dir

I think as long as anybody promoting a meme coin uses an appropriate disclaimer, it's probably a reasonable decision. The problem is going to be that nobody is going to enforce people making fraudulent claims about meme coins because

We need to break the concept of "intelligence" down into more well defined components, probably.

To be even more clear, it's Hindu nationalist propaganda, and not a serious academic paper, and there's a reason it was never published in a reputable journal.

I've played around with chatgpt telling stories to my kids, but they don't like it that much. The stories aren't very good, and they're trite and predictable -- even with 4o. It's really only interesting to them a

Ferrihydrite also produces water when heated. You'd need to collect and process 250-500kg of martian soil per day to produce enough water for one person to survive, assuming half of the iron oxide is actually ferrihydrite. You'd

Sabine doesn't even say it's disproven, and the paper doesn't claim that it's disproven, it just claims that one of the earliest proofs that it was a singularity was incorrect. There's an important distinction ther

All of this is no longer true. A modern AI will still get tripped up on details sometimes, especially with recent fandoms, but it's not going to make mistakes about common fan fiction terms any more. > Another of the Tag Wrangling
