That might not be difficult to do it yourself. Modus themes for example have code mappings, with a different coloration for code literals. In that file [1] for example, bg-main has the hex value of #000000, total black. If you want some par

Doesn't Emacs have syntax highlighting for all of these cases? It even has a tree-sitter integration which highlights even more accurately than good-ol-regexes. Something i wanna try at some point, is to make all faces in a file equal

Turning carbon into useful materials is good here on Earth, but there is at least a planet on our solar system with more water, and there is the possibility that there is a planet with more carbon as well. We are talking about rain and rive

The advertisement business model of the internet for so long, 20 years plus, is indeed almost irrelevant now. It will collapse like a house of cards. We are heading into a micropayments future. Even products or services of the front pages o

Well, absolute zero temperatures (or close to it) are the usual way to create quantum computation. Absolute zero temperatures however are totally impractical economically also size of the machine (see MRI machines) and other reasons i canno

One good solution rather than Excel is org-mode. See the original Google talk by org-mode creator [1]. At some point 30 minutes or so, he explains how to use org-mode as a spreadsheet. Not so powerful as Excel, even though missing features

Very nice, good to know. Yes i know gradual typing, Python has a form of that i think. I will check out Raku at some point, the type system will not go unnoticed. I didn't even know it had one!

Mixtral works very well with json output in my personal experience. Gpt family are excellent of course, and i would bet Claude and Gemini are pretty good. Mixtral however is the smallest of the models and the most efficient. Especially runn

Super spreader event we've got ourselves into. I took a look at Raku, which claims be a better Perl maybe, or closely related but more modern, it certainly looks nice. Although i am a big fan of typed languages, Raku piqued my interest

Regexes originate from Perl, or they were popularized by Perl if i got this right. In Perl readable code is not ranked as one of it's top 100 priorities. Regexes could originate from J and situation could be even worse though!

That happens with art in general. British museums are full of ancient Greek and Egyptian statues, even a New York museum will not return mammoth bones to it's Canadian owner and excavator, thousands of them. If you are not ok with ever

Agree, totally valid points. Also take a look at rare diseases and doctors [1], in which machines are already better at diagnosing thousands of different rare diseases. Is is fair to say that machines are better at diagnosing diseases in ge

They cannot make a submarine themselves, or design it, but when they reach 50 percent, they will reach 50% at everything. In submarine engineering, they will be able to design and construct it in some way like 3d print it, and the submarine

I think it is a tooling issue. It is in no way obvious how use LLM's effectively, especially for really good writing results. Tweaking and tinkering can be time consuming indeed, but i use lately the chatgpt-shell [1] and it lends well

The absence of GC, makes embedded Rust a joy. It can be easily attached to other programs like Erlang with NIFs, Javascript and web pages with Web Assembly and Emacs with command line execution. Micro-controllers as well of course. I do con

There is also Mistral-next, which they claim that it has advanced reasoning abilities, better than ChatGPT-turbo. I want to use it at some point to test it. Have you tried Mistral-next? Is it no good? You were talking about reasoning and i

This is not Mistral 7b, it is Mixtral 7bx8 MoE. I use the Chrome extension Chathub, and i input the same prompts for code to Mixtral and ChatGPT. Most of the time they both get it right, but ChatGpt gets it wrong and Mixtral gets it right m

I was looking at that project [1] trying to understand what this article explains in a more simple way. There is some non-trivial complexity of how to put together wasm-pack, web-sys, js-sys and wasm-bindgen functions to work well together

Mixtral's quality is definitely up there with Gpt3.5. Specifically for coding, i consider them almost equivalent in quality. In fact Mixtral 8x7 is starting to be my go-to coding assistant instead of Gpt. It is fast, it is accurate, an

Ok it does happen, but not so frequently. You are right. But is this such a big problem? Like, you parse the response, and throw away the comment "//implementation goes here", throw away also the function/method&#x2

Lazy coding is a feature not a bug. My guess is that it breaks aider automation, but by analyzing the AST that wouldn't be a problem. My experience with lazy coding, is it omits the irrelevant code, and focuses on the relevant part. Th

Well, think about it that way: What's the purpose of copyright? It gives ownership of information, to the people who produced it, some years for a song or a movie. The presupposition is that said information, will be valuable in a year
