I mean, wasn't pretty much the second half of all AoC exercises beyond LLM capabilities? I remember there being multiple accounts trying to one-shot AoC and all ended on day 10 or so.

There is nothing mathematically 100% safe, the human meaning of the word inherently involves some kind of uncertainty. Going for a test itself via car has a quite significant risk itself, should the doctor say that you shouldn't move o

I mean, having 2 hours of active use vs 10 hours is quite a bit of difference, quite a bit more meaningful than "shiny case".

I believe the Delta emulator has JIT support, but possibly only when installed as a developer.

As opposed to what problem? Like I can honestly have trouble listing too many business problems/areas that would fail to scale with their expected user count, given reasonable hardware and technical competence. Like YouTube and Faceboo

Probably a good chunk of the differences in experience is this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45573521 > [..] possibly the repo is too far off the data distribution. (Karpathy's quote)

The same is true for Java/Kotlin (in this case at least). The problem is that there is a zero parameter version that implicitly depends on global state, so you may end up with the bug unless you were already familiar with the issue at

Pencils here are a bit like grains. The market works for them because they fall into such a niche that economic "laws" works there. But it's a fallacy to apply it elsewhere and there are millions of examples where the free ma

Parent's comparison is pretty great, but it shouldn't be "overdone". It's not really the format that's different/a problem (it's not hard to make a blender object from a CAD design - the same way an S

I usually don't take name clashes as seriously as some people here do, but when it's even in the same general niche, then that's not really a good look. It means the author failed to check the prior art - which is still fine

I mean, in the general case is it not impossible to "put the code in the correct lines"? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you, but even if the bytecode sequence is reconstructed as the original code that produced it, stuff lik

I think it's more like just a team organization change, nothing more.

Yeah, the company employing almost every OpenJDK developer surely doesn't care about Java...

Evolution is a single line, and if you touch it, you are out. But unless the environment becomes harsher (and the line moves), there is nothing making passing organisms more "efficient". You can clearly observe it with flightless

As mentioned, there are some very rudimentary ways where "runtime" can affect the next generation (epigenetics), but nothing like actually learning and teaching across generations.

> bypass the thinking, which is costly and slow. Costly, sure, but slow? Like for that to be the case you would need to compare it to something, and you can't, as there is no apples to oranges comparison. Instincts are not an altern

They deliberately (and smartly) set their working limits to what they can solve - known city, always decent weather conditions. And they still added a way for a remote operator to solve certain situations. So no, they don't have AGI

It's commonly brought up saying, and I don't think it's too far from the truth. Driving under every condition requires a very deep level of understanding of the word. Sure, you can get to like 60% by a simple robot vacuum l

It's not a static bias. I can experience new stuff, and update my biases. LLMs need a retrain for that.

Rust has a unique niche it can occupy - namely, it's a "zero-overhead" memory safe low-level language. I never understood why is go brought up next to rust all so often, when it has barely any unique qualities, and is a high-

I mean, CS is famously bad at exact definitions [1]. Why should we have one for what a PL is? Just do what humans have been doing for millenia, how is it commonly used. A tomato is a vegetable from a culinary perspective, and HTML is not a

There are non-Turing complete programming languages, and there are many things that are Turing complete but have nothing to do with programming (even PowerPoint), so this is neither a required nor sufficient property. I believe a reasonable

I usually ask at interviews what version of Java they are using. If they are on >8 of >11, then that's a pretty good green flag. And it's a non-starter for startups, because it's not hyped enough, not for a technical re

Well, we have to define what a language's popularity mean. Because Rust is surely more 'hyped', than Java, but Java has at least an order of more developers/software written, etc. So in which meaning do you use 'pop

Sure, the majority of mobile apps suck. But even then, 1% of it is still orders of magnitude larger than the number of "Linux" apps, and there are surely more actually decent mobile apps than that. Besides, open-source doesn'
