What size of code base are you talking about? And this is your personal experience?

I once had an apartment in an old building. The building had high ceilings and equally high wood frame windows. The windows were drafty and had visible gaps to the outside. As winter approached, and nights grew colder I set out to cover the

At some point the llm ingested a few open source NES emulators and many articles on their architecture. So i question the llm creativity involved with these types examples. Probably also for dsps.

This is not an interesting result. Coding has never been the bottleneck in software development. How many of us have spent months on simple projects where requirements changed, stakeholders were indecisive, and the project dragged on and on

Just wait a few years for Trump to pardon you as he did for the jailed former Honduran president recently, same charges even. The hubris of this administration is off the charts.

They’ve done the research and they know x% will never change and that’s enough for them to monetize. So that’s what they’re doing.

Bah! Begone with your socialist mumbo jumbo! Fox News Entertainent channel tells me about you communist and your “single payer” sham all the time! We have the best healthcare! Merica! This is satire btw.

This was exactly the thought process too. If I could send 8 characters back in time to myself they’d be “BTC 100K”.

I’m tickled that one of my favorite developers is commenting on another of my favorites work. Would be great if Nicolas Cannasse were also in this thread!

The website is pretty good. My initial reaction was “A CMS? How can yet another CMS be profitable”. The copy on the homepage explains it pretty well. Congrats on the success.

If you’re implying separating work work on two machines; beware the corporate spyware on the windows machine will show a lot of idle time!

I was going to post snark such as “you could use the same hardware to also lose money mining crypto” then realized there are a lot of crypto miners out their that could probably make more money running tokens then they do on crypto. Does su

This would allow for a dds attack on reality where a bunch of simulants attempt to perform computationally expensive observations at the same time.

by le-mark 10mo ago
I wonder if there’s a concept akin to Shannon Entropy that dictates the level of detail a simulation can provide given a ratio of bits to something. Although presumably any level of bits could be simulated given more time.

Freecad is fully parametric, set constraints so it’s 0 degrees of freedom and you shouldn’t have that problem.

That’s all very convincing. For users who just want a Linux phone? Not there yet. Android or not.

Is it really that useful though? I spend a lot of my time with ai wondering how much of what I’m reading is BS and how to verify. Some tools make checking easier than others.

> prestigious schools, high salaries, impressive employers, supposedly refined tastes. We're at the top of the world, right? Being pompous and self obsessed requires none of those things.

There wasn’t much but the mostly fabricated WMD narrative was questioned a lot. Now the current administration makes an endless stream of fantasies and lies which go almost entirely unchallenged.

I don’t know about the h700, but some of those allwinner chips used to be super cheap around Covid. I checked and didn’t find prices? Does anyone know where the price is now?

Eighteen year olds in the US have to fill out a “selective services” form. This was for the draft, and continues in case the draft is ever reinstated. So in peace time not problem, in wartime? Different story.
