Read "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front" by Joel Salatin to learn about what the government did to farmers. The simple truth is you won't even have the ability to ask to be hired, becau

The government getting interested in open source should terrify us all. The UN formally defining principles for what it means is a soft form of regulation that's only going to get more authoritarian over time. Traveling down this road,

Do headline games like John Madden do this? That's a great use case for LLMs.

It does. The majority of what's popular and gets attention in programming is things like languages and frameworks which do the best smooth talking. The whole point of CS is to focus on the aspects of programming that aren't just v

I'll care about protecting consumers once I figure out how to protect myself. Consumer products are an optimization algorithm where people get what they're willing to tolerate. You can either profit off it or build something bette

Only fools think the government is going to save them from corporate abuses, because they're in league. Half the time the government is the one forcing them to do it.

When all the manufacturing was moved to China decades ago, I bet no one predicted China would do this!

I think it was pretty obvious to anyone who looked at the SHA3 code Python had that it was insane and not to be trusted. Everyone smart moved on to blake2b. How they managed to frameworkify a hash function and push it through standardizatio

Oh. Then the workaround should still work I think. Did it help you?

You probably have WINE or something installed. We have a workaround: sudo wget -O /usr/bin/ape https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ape-$(uname -m).elf sudo chmod +x /usr/bin&#x2F

Only a small percent of people will actually produce ideas that other people are interested in. For most people, AI tools for building things will enable them to construct their own personalized worlds. Imagine watching movies, except the m

GCC is still marginally superior at both code size and performance in my experience. The main thing I like about clang is it compiles byzantine c++ code much faster. Some projects like llama.cpp it's like eating nails if you're no

That's a biased thing to say, since you're never going to notice the times when the history api is being used appropriately. Just as often I find myself raging when a webpage doesn't rewrite history at times when it should.

Here's the pending GCC 15 release notes: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/changes.html (since the link in the article points to GCC 14) - I'd love to see godbolt examples of the sort of optimizations [[unsequenced]

Those policies ostensibly make life better for people, but the main reason they exist is because they stimulate technological development by driving up the cost of labor. Societies where labor was cheap, like dixie and ancient rome, weren&#

I disagree with everything you just said. It's like you have the complete opposite morality as me. I think there are more valuable things you can give people than money. I like to enrich others by writing open source code and blogging

Sorry I believe in collective giving, not collective taking. I live my life palms down, not palms up.

In the US about 60% of the workforce is "white collar". Being proud of that is like being proud of a six figure salary in California.

Well for starters, it would have better memory management. The XNU kernel's memory manager has poor time complexity. If I create a bunch of sparse memory maps using mmap() then XNU starts to croak once I have 10,000+ of them.

I've never seen Europe flex as much as they have over the past few weeks. Trump has really encouraged Europe to spread their wings.

A lot of white collar work is just larping as the 1%. It's due to the over-manufacturing of elites. Roles that exist to keep people busy while confering illusory social status aren't very useful to society. Freedom and usefulness

Enterprising humans have a long history of giving people what they desire, while refraining from judging what's best for them.

Try using the LLM as a learning tool, rather than asking it to do your job. I don't really like the way LLMs code. I like coding. So I mostly do that myself. However I find it enormously useful to be able to ask an LLM questions. You k

Yeah it's similar to how Facebook is blamed for social malaise. Or how alcohol was blamed before that. It's always more comfortable for people to blame the thing rather than the person.

60% of the US workforce these days is white collar, and it's one of the great illusions of our time. Most of these jobs only exist to keep busy the 60% of the US workforce that has a degree. In the 1940's about 30% of the US workf
