Appreciate the concept, seems deeply useful if a bit underbaked at present. Active STT allows a "No STT loaded" option that mentions it requires a multimodal LLM like Gemma 4. Except even when I use Gemma 4 features, Ctrl+S to dic

Atrophy of your basic skills can still be a problem. Like someone relying on a dozen specialized triangle angle calculators found on Google rather than understanding what SOHCAHTOA is.

Not the same person, but in the event of an AI collapse I think those that relied on it will be at a disadvantage. The rapid deskilling that happens with AI usage is becoming more documented.

It's nearly a line-by-line rephrasing of another story that's linked at the top. In the second half it takes less creative liberties and sticks closer and closer to the original meat-based text.

Most package managers with postinstall scripts are also heavily curated and have reputation systems. As you say, they run as root, so the high trust requirement is definitely warranted. Anyone can upload an npm package.

The operator highlights "Don't stand down" and "Champion free speech" but the thing that grabs my eyes is right at the top, the typo and the heady ego of "programming God!" Everything in the context will g

This makes no sense given development is not driven by any one entity that might work privately and start publishing later. All development on these projects is done in the open by a variety of entities who have no mutual interest in collud

So obviously none of this is realistic, even the foundations of it don't align with reality, so what point are you trying to make with this comment? I'm afraid it's going over my head.

A merge to main itself is pretty substantial, especially a week after saying, "[This] code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out completely."

I think any instruction tuned model is going to "know" it's an LLM.

I've never had much contact with Mercurial myself, so are there any features from Mercurial that JJ doesn't already incorporate? Or any differences you find interesting?

Have you used Jujutsu before? It's git-backed and it sounds like it incorporates a lot of these niceties from Mercurial. I find it an awful lot more intuitive than Git to use and the stable identifiers are absolutely lovely to have.

Memory bandwidth is completely different on any browser from measured results on my M2 Pro machine. Weirdly, the estimated performance levels and even exact product name differ between Chrome and Firefox. Firefox calls it an M2 Pro and over

I don't think this has been the case for at least 39 days. The news is slowing down. The big headlines now, besides unverified marketing claims, are efficiency gains. Which are fantastic, but don't seem to be met with matching per

A single million line commit overwriting all of main is pretty flashy and high profile. Anyone who was working in this repo previously can throw whatever the heck they were doing out the window. This isn't in a branch, this commit isn&

You should read the mentioned article. They have hired some of the people they paid out to, and some of those people were LLM-assisted. The claim I'm rebutting is "in the past few months nearly every LLM generated report is real.&

If your assertion of falsehood were true, the current top story on HN wouldn't be Turso shutting down their bug bounty due to overwhelming slop.

the lighting effects are very brogue and like nothing I've seen in angband, which is very very barebones ASCII by comparison. brogue-likes push into ANSI art territory with their abuse of terminal formatting.

The compounding issue is that understanding atrophies without thinking constantly reinforcing it. Shed no tears for the boilerplate, but the exercise is useful.

This is one of the things I've loved about Gleam, one local variable name and potentially an external label that callers can use to annotate themselves. For example, a function declaration may look like this: pub fn pad_end( st

The =s that are scattered throughout the files are characters that have been replaced due to improper parsing. Wherever you see a =, it has taken the place of another character. The best interpretation of the string "=our" is &quo
