In the context of the universe, I wouldn't call it "intelligence" versus "artificial intelligence". I would call it "organic intelligence" vs "inorganic intelligence".

Human-level performance is a great way to narrow down this ambiguity.

Kind of off topic, but is it possible to simulate peripherals with QEMU? For example: suppose that I'm emulating some microcontroller running my firmware. On the actual board, this firmware will interact with a sensor. Is it doable to

I've seen this too. With recent versions nonetheless.

Thanks! On a side note, do you think that APL-like languages like J or K are less expressive because they don't use the alien symbols?

Please do tell more. I'm a CTO struggling with managing my devs. What do you mean?

Looks nice! Do you know if they can do table structuring as well? Something similar to what Amazon Textract does[0]. [0] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/how-it-works-...

You wouldn't lose in the market against a solo-founder with such a tool. You'd lose against that annoying dev that refuses to not build a monolith with Rails or similar and be done with it :)

I don't know about this. It seems that there is more demand for high level work than low level. But I hope you are right!

Since there are a few Smalltalk experts around, let me ask: what's the deal with Monticello? Is it legacy cruft and we should just migrate to Git, or is there something more to it?

I've used a ready image. And Cuis seems derived from Squeak, so supposedly the build process is the same and it might not be trivial. I haven't tried to build any of them yet.

Please, do tell more! Where I see no/low code fall apart is when complex input data validation is required. However, I can also see that this might be our old practices getting in the way of innovative forward thinking. Maybe you'

I've tried to play with Smalltalk on my vacation and I've had some troubles with Squeak and Pharo. Surprisingly, everything worked out of the box with Cuis and its vector graphics rendering makes the experience much more pleasant.

Well, Stephen Hawking's book uses the same term and it's both gigantic and as complex as it gets :D

I've been disappointed with DALL-E and others for small images such as icons and avatars. It will probably improve, but I wasn't satisfied with the results of my attempts so far.

I think we'll probably see a renaissance of this kind of game when LLMs get cheaper to run.

This has nothing to do with OpenSearch. Using off the shelf models is cheap and pay as you go. Using custom models is what's expensive.

Some multiplayer games can be considered social networks and can develop deep relationships. It's the ones like Instagram and TikTok that try to get you addicted and incentives showing off.

To be fair, Bedrock is more flexible than OpenAI's fine tuning. It's nice to have at least the option to pay big bucks for this. But it's big bucks nonetheless.

Bedrock is cool, but I found it prohibitively expensive for hobbyists and small companies. On a first glance, it would cost me something like $ 5,000 per month for a simple trained model.

I remember the previous version of Enlightenment (E16?) and, from a design standpoint, it was really cool and productive for the small resolution CRTs of old. The current version doesn't give me those vibes. And I haven't checked

On a more serious note, what would be a (mostly?) sane way to do something like this on DOS? TurnoC? TurboPascal? What was the "web tooling story" of those toolkits?

On a side note, Meteor always seems like a good idea at the beginning, but I see lots of projects failing with it. It's unfortunate.

I've used git as usual to evolve my SQL functions and procedures and my CI/CD pipeline used Pyrseas to sync code with database.

I think using Postgres as a runtime would feel like a PaaS runtime not much different from other offerings in the market. But, for something self-hosted, it feels like super powers in the beginning.

I've gone down this road before and that's not what I would criticize. Where things went south for me: - hard to hire developers that know how to work with this or that are willing to learn - very hard to debug performance issues

And type gymnastics seem worth it on something like F#, but on C#, it feels a lot like bureaucracy with not a lot of benefit.

by haolez 3y ago
On the other hand, I find it extremely difficult to follow C# code. It's a lot of type gymnastics and dependency injection noise that makes it hard to understand where's the actual business logic.

It just occurred to me that a container-based desktop is an over engineered statically linked userspace :)
