Go famously used machine translation to remove dependency from C. It's a nice way to retain structural familiarity with the target language. I imagine they could've saved a large portion of that $165,000 using this route. Hard to

> As an aside, I don't know why anyone would not want to use a memory-safe (and possibly race-safe) language in 2026. The rust compiler is very slow. The best way to speed it up appears to be organizing a codebase in many crates. Th

There are a lot of people blaming the iD for having their own tech. Programming is partly an artistic endeavor. Games programming can especially be so, part of the market is based in novelty, and doing new things sometimes requires new&#x2F

What would you say is similar between Odin and Jai? I briefly used Jai (I have never had access) and found that essentially only declaration syntax is familiar.

Interactive applications where a GC is not an option. Rust is shockingly good at being a general purpose language, but that's in the face of the strict semantics of the language and approach to memory. There became a comparison against

I've been using and loving Odin for probably around 5 years now, with this past couple years being more seriously invested in it. After tens of thousands of lines of code I'm still very happy. If you like C, but feel it's mis

I think “kindness” is somewhat different than what I’m referring to. I’d agree he’s not always kind.

That’s fair, I think I’m mostly referring to their assessment of how they could possibly come to evaluate his position as BDFL (which I realize is totally subjective) and I disliked that they didn’t bother trying to talk to him… which I’m n

I think part of being well-reasoned is being honest, and they're certainly being honest. I don't agree with their means, though. Bill is a complex person, and you don't have to stalk him to learn about him. He interacts with

Programming is the art of applying math to solve problems. What kind of problems do you want to work on? That determines how much math to know, and what kind of programming you'll be needing to learn manually before you start offloadin

Genuine question; abandonware or complete? Something of this size serves as a nice substrate or starting-point regardless.

Yeah, it has me wondering why this project is trying to entertain me with a video.

Is CPU design hitting a (soft) speed limit?

Interesting. So even more of the means to create this wave of AI existed sooner than we knew, at least in theory. Fun to think of a version of events where these models came up alongside GPUs; as if real-time graphics wasn't demanding

It isn't. You'd need full lifetime analysis as part of the compiler to even decide whether you _could_ skip the allocation, and even then it's 100% up to the circumstance and actual lifetime of the data to say whether it can

Thank you for looking into this, I also have the annoying pop-up and have been suspicious of it…

I'm not familiar with model pricing trends, did they clearly state how the new pricing compares? (Note that I'm actually asking a question, and am not arguing) EDIT: Oh I see, this is the best link for pricing https://p

Looks like Fable constructed the "max" "looking" pelican of the previous model for the "xhigh" output token count of the previous model.

To summarize: 1. version, review and test AI features 2. sandbox it 3. use quotas/rate limits 4. integrate AI in platform-agnostic ways (don't tie your success to one lab) 5. you'll save money paying for the best models 6. do

Agreed. Everything is a weird mixture of poetry and mathematics jargon. Basically every page of the book contains some esotericism which makes empty claims. It's completely divorced from reality.

Agreed. Both are true. I sometimes think of the calculator as being superhuman as well.

Is that the same gap as what you’re responding to? To me, it seems his critique is about advertised capability and logical statements, and your rhetorical(?) question is about memory.

These things don’t think. We’re going to have to reiterate this for a long time, I fear.
