I agree but to be fair, often people could have asked an AI to get their answer. Especially seniors are prone to this (thinking the AI could not possibly know this or other biases). The responder wrote they asked Claude so as to not take cr

Hard to say exactly what went wrong from outside, but a frontier model not being able to implement a simple CRUD feature after 3x8 = 24 hours of work isn't "it can't do this". Let me hazard a guess from what you wrote. T

The article is not about generative AI at all.

Predictably, now office workers and engineers (including here) will say "What I always knew - LLM's can't think, be creative, don't have nuance. My job is safe!". I predict the article will be quoted again and again

Sometimes it makes up strawmans where it implies you wrote or implied something insanely stupid and then "corrects" this. My interpretation of it is that it has been taught to give nuanced answers and seeing things from every pers

Titanium dioxide is now an IARC 2B suspected carcinogen.

Btw titanium dioxide is now a suspected carcinogenic. It is illegal in food in the EU now.

Wrong there are plenty of other ingredients. In fact one of those ingredients that is permitted in EU and not US is ecamsule. It is quite nice, it absorbs the UV photons by switching confirmation (different isomere) rather than being oxidis

My concurrency knowledge is a bit rusty but aren't spinlocks only supposed to be used for very brief waits like in the hundreds of cycles (or situations where you can't block... like internal o/s scheduling structures in SMP

But if that is so why this focus on the few clock cycles of dispatch?

I don't understand this focus on micro performance details... considering that all of this is about an interpretation approach which is always going to be slow relatively speaking. The big speed up would be to JIT it all, then you dont

The worst is when the only 'dismiss'-option is "I will do it later"... even if you have no intention of ever doing it... essentially forcing you to lie. It has been a while since I've seen it though, so that's

Well it also means it could be a good time to buy so you won't have to pay even more overprice for the same performance years down the line. I just bought one a good month ago. My old one was over 10 years old, not worn out, but not up

Yes I agree, I was just responding the article's "“We cannot reverse a mutation once it occurs, ..." I don't think that is entirely accurate. Also, I think it is a dynamic process, so even cells the immune system hasn&#x

I have always enjoyed it. I have even gotten comments "can you really do anything in such a short period of time" but i have found that even 20 min sessions on a commute can be effective. For a major project I did the final push o

"When VACUUM runs, it removes those dead tuples and compacts the remaining rows within each page. If an entire page becomes empty, PostgreSQL can reclaim it entirely." Is this true? I was of the belief that standard vacuum doesnt

It is often not just about the difficulty of estimation the time for specific tasks but also what the assumptions put in were. Sometimes these assumptions werent written out explicitly or other times they were (deliberately?) removed. Just

How many additions have there even been outside of AVX-x? And even AVX-2 is from 2011. If we ignore AVX-x the last I can recall are the few instructions added in the manipulation sets BMI/ABM, but they are Haswell/Piledriver/

I have also had to work with this in many contexts... Deeply embedded systems with no parsers available and where no "proper" ones would fit. So i have hand written but basic parsing and generation a few times. Oh and there is als

Essentially a motte-and-bailey. "mitigate" is the same. Can be used when the risk is only partially eliminated but you can be lucky (depending on perspective) the reader will believe the issue is fully solved by that mitigation.

Isn't that just another guardrail that can be bypassed much the same as the guard rails are currently quite easily bypassed? It is not easy to detect a prompt. Note some of the recent prompt injection attack where the injection was a b

I also think when looking at how BWT works, it is initially surprising it is invertible even with such little information as the first character. It appears a bit like sorting the letters and that certainly would require a lot more informat

Hi that sad. I remember years ago sitting with a colleague and we had to download putty. Then we found the usual page. There is always the concern if it is legit or a fake site with malware. But I remember my colleague saying "it has t
