What pray tell does the "boss key" do?

Also, driving at zero miles per hour reduces car accidents to zero... obviously this is good to reduce accidents but frankly mildly annoying for the vast majority of people actually trying to get somewhere. They quoted percentage changes, b

But I'm not being a pedant, we're measuring sarcasm. Someone has to clearly define it to judge the AI. If everyone in these threads thinks sarcasm is anything "negative" then they are wrong. That would be a negative sent

Sarcasm is saying one thing and meaning the opposite. If monsters are most harmless, then also not wanting to live there makes logical sense and isn't backwards. So that's straightforward mockery, not sarcastic.

Can you please specify at least a part or two that you specifically feel are sarcastic? The author doesn't seem to like the movie but I feel like the majority of the comments are quite factual or seem like straightforward opinion.

I wonder how hard it is to download the whole database from this source. Would be cool if they released a straight sqlite file or something to do analysis.

I really like the Neanderthal library because it does a pretty good job of abstracting over Nvidia, AMD, and Intel hardware to provide matrix operations in an extremely performant manner for each one with the same code. Dragan goes into a l

I don't know much Go but what does it mean to "accidentally" append to an immutable array? Are there just no particular guards for arrays and they are saying something which should be treated as immutable?

Horstmann was one of my favorite teachers at San Jose State. He's a really sharp guy, and very enthusiastic teacher. I had him for a programming languages class and we dove into the various implementations of closures that were to be a

There is an example in TFA which shows how if you have a normal thread pool and two tasks with one sleeping indefinitely and only a single thread to execute, the the second thread never executes. Then the example switches to virtual threads

by gleenn 4y ago
But Futures still tie up a real OS thread. You can chain them together which alleviates some additional thread cost but it's not M:N scheduling, you're just being more clever with your OS threads. Virtual Threads separate those co

Nathan was a former coworker of mine and he is not only an unbelievably talented software engineer but also one of the most humble and friendly guys I know. Glad he's still at it with Zed!

Zsh is the shell which is a mini language and environment, so you can run that in many different terminals. OhMyZsh is a set of configuration scripts and plugins to configure Zsh. A terminal is the thing that renders text, handles input and

Is it $15k because the total penalty doesn't depend on the number of people and it's just $1.5M/100 kids so it happens to be $15k?

So what you're saying is, it's bi-endian because you have two arms, and this is the Left one?

At some point you might turn that idea on it's head and realize that a lot of "intelligent" behavior is mostly parroting what worked before. So ChatGPT just needs a little more data before it's "smarter" than u

My understanding was that almost all countries with advanced economies are experiencing negative growth in producing children. So even if you are right about the nuance in age, go look at Japan. Their population is shrinking.

I believe even ocean water is a potential source of Lithium if we ever get constrained on more direct sources. Unfortunately it's not really Lithium holding back EVs, it's Cobalt and a few other rare earth metals. Also not sure ho

At this point couldn't you just write an actual function and use "return"?

Coming from big corp, I definitely miss my days at smaller shops that did Agile. I feel like so much of this has little to do with the development methodology and more to do with the people though. Smart people can make any methodology. Eve

Syntax looks a whole lot like Clojure. I immediately appreciate the optional immutability built in too.

There has been speculation that China is testing our response. It seems unclear what the purpose of hovering over Montana is. Maybe they are actually testing something they'd like to attack or monitor Taiwan with and the way to test in

I don't think this is nearly as true for virii genomes, but larger species have lots of protetive sections of DNA to protect from mutations. If you lose a non-protein-coding section of DNA to mutation, no harm to the species occurs. In

To not appreciate code style is to not appreciate art. I have almost no freedom trying to accomplish the extremely robotic task of pushing some silicon to do something correctly perhaps also efficiently. The fine line between those things s

It goes beyond country boundaries. There was an interesting case where China stole I think it was specialized corn to begin producing their own instead of spending large sums by buying the product or IP.

The jq cli tool/language is awesome already. The person who wrote it was also interestingly very competitive in Advent if Code with it too.
