If I understand right you were living in Mexico at that time and not going too fancy shmancy school for rich kids? If so - doubles the magnitude of this achievement.

I would actually join you, as my longstanding view on coding is that it is best done in pairs. Sadly humans and programmers in particular are not so ready to work arms-by-arms, and it is even more depressing that it now turns AI is pairing

Kudos for the anthropological experiment. Indeed makes you wonder what's there about the sliding that makes it so entertaining. I suggest you add some sort of summary that flows, so to add certain level of animation. Some articles have

Models don’t get trained on your codebase in scenarios like Continue and Copilot assisted completion. It’s RAG at best and it depends on how the RAG is built. So all depends on how it fits in context and it will for the foreseeable time be

...back in the day we had this partner who emigrated from undisclosed_balkan_country to the USA in the 90s. 20 years later his daugther in her teens gets $20k funding from the school principal, for her pet fashion project (not even STEM!).

It is hilarious that page shows how one replaces FB with HN... which is precisely what I did in 2019, and now I'm a total HN addict, spending more than a few minutes on it at least 5 times a day.

its steered by magic or magick at best, and too many have tried to devise the principle behind it. math in all its beauty is too simple to grasp it yet if ever. noone does, that's the beauty of life. and nobody wants an ugly life.

netsec is a joke. i still remember this elevated bash execution which was lying in plain sight since ever, no one saw it.

Amazing idea. BTW, following Danielle on X, very insightful and bright minded person.

indeed useless, you can use arbitrary anything - a book, a notebook, the earpods, the wallet -> all work. besides the thing blowing wind does not make much real difference it seems.

Dropped FB for HN in 2017... and eventually I find myself now again on X for some #genaury stuff which is basically nowhere else to find. Happily most reasonable tech stuff lists on HN, some interesting stuff on MR, both being more-or-less

Abso-fkn-lutely! Stable computing protocols of all sorts don’t go away overnight and that is something everyone in IT should absolutely get used to. I expect C/C++ to live long beyond 2050.

Okay, as you wish. Though I've never seen people accomplish stuff like a) understand regex; and b) write a compiler for it without "persistence and concentration.". Perhaps some get it delivered through divine apparition of s

Apparently it takes more than skill but also persistence and concentration. Not many schools of thought explain this well .

It is the bias that being good at computing automatically gives you an advantage with somebody else’s algorithms. Or that they see you better as one of their own. After being successful in IT one thinks one can approach arbitrary areas of

I must admit, the paper inspired me cook a pasta as close as possible to suggestions, together with Claude ingesting the PDF and the result was really good. Thanks, physics PHDs!

CTEs can indeed align mismatched and denormalised storage to some E/R which follows some business logic. That much you can say. But CTEs allow for recursion and save time when you need complexity but you want to follow a precise step-b

this is poor man's SQL to unwrap for business logic. SQL is such more more about everything else and so litte about the trouble with mapping business logic into storage.

You are very brave to call or not call something AI, but it is precisely generative grammars (a stochastic ones) who were initially considered AI - as a linguist you should know this better than myself.
