As discussed in this thread before you posted this comment, this code wasn't generated from an LLM at all, but simply included in a dependency: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46092904 Unlike your results which ar

I think this is the right decision by KDE. Narrowing the scope of work is basically always a good thing for a project. KDE should either switch to wayland, or stay on X11, and not try to do both. And they've clearly decided awhile ago

As pointed out downthread this isn't true. It is under your control. All modern chromebooks let you enable developer mode which gives you root access, at which point is is a linux desktop in the way literally everyone means the word.

I'm curious, what issues is python causing them?

It's not a bug, it's just a lack of an additional feature on top of dynamic linking. In fact it prevents bugs as it provides a clear bar on the misuse of dynamic linking as is so common in C/C++/(as designed) Fil-C to re

The ability to replace libraries without recompiling downstream dependents is not a necessary component of dynamic linking. However if rust wanted to gain this ability, it basically is just a matter of a stable ABI. The only other thing you

by gpm 11mo ago
What you're looking for is a stable ABI, not just dynamic linking. Honestly not sure if rust guarantees a stable ABI under some set of "reasonable" precautions... likely not but it's never been something I've needed

This would be equally true in space.

by gpm 11mo ago
> Well, Rust sort of does, if you're OK with using C ABI (i.e. `unsafe`). Rust has full blown safe dynamic linking - so long as you use rust, and the the same compiler version, for everything. What it doesn't have is runtime li

Absolutely wild to use a bunch of elite slavers as your example of the good guys. Surely the less bad example is guy fawkes masks, where the underlying media (V for Vendetta) has a character who isn't unambiguously evil and the masks h

You understand that fossil fuel and nuclear plants are typically less reliable (have a lower availability factor) than that right? Every form of power generation has downtime, and needs balancing with other types or accepting that downtime.

by gpm 11mo ago
You shouldn't need a couple weeks of battery storage - if you're in a sunny place. For example Las Vegas should be able to reach 97% uptime of constant energy supply (greater than your typical fossil fuel plants uptime) by buildin

Latitude is a poor point of comparison here, North America tends to be substantially colder than Europe at the same latitude. Or concretely Niagara Falls goes from an average low of -6.44 C in February to 21.0 C in July. Barcelona an averag

The storage needed to turn solar into a reliable (as any comparable fossil fuel power plant) dispatchable source of power, plus the cost of the solar in the first place, costs less than other sources of dispatch-able power (like gas) in sun

Absolutely true. I don't know why you're even talking about nuclear when that's not something an individual can do at their scale. It's not relevant to this conversation. But everything you've just said about it is
712.
by gpm 11mo ago
This is all true except for the fact that storage is not incredibly expensive anymore, which invalidates every single conclusion you reach. Storage is now reasonably affordable, and the trend suggests it will soon be incredibly cheap.

This is a hotel room, you would need the last hundred guests to have done that, not yourself

by gpm 11mo ago
Generally you would need everyone else to do that for it to help you, which isn't something you control. Doors are nice from the public health perspective in that people actually do usually close them without even being asked.

by gpm 11mo ago
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good and all that, just because things aren't perfect isn't a good reason for the hotel to make things worse and doesn't mean I shouldn't avoid worse hotels on the basis that they a

I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that the "bathrooms must have doors" public health regulation is unlikely to increase any moats.

Actively? Almost no one. But I absolutely check out google maps reviews, and a single review saying that the hotel did not have a proper door on the bathroom would guarantee I would not stay there. Even traveling alone it's a clear ind
