I don't understand what is supposed to be "hard". It seems utterly trivial to me. In reverse order of the folds, just mirror all holes across the fold line.

Avoiding this generally needs to be the main consideration when writing prompts. When appropriate, explicitly tell it to challenge your beliefs and assumptions and also try to make sure that you don't reveal what you think the answer i

It seems that the LLM has not only designed the site, but also written the text on at least the frontpage, which is a pretty bad signal. You need to rewrite all the text and Telde it with text YOU would actually write, since I doubt you wou

I think the issue in the article can further be mitigated with a better algorithm for determining road elevation profiles that accounts for the fact that roads are usually placed to minimize vertical displacement. One can start assuming tha

The code doesn't really seem to use any kernel functionality other than spinlocks/mutexes and waiting and waking up tasks. That same code should be portable to userspace by: - Allocating everything into shared memory, where the sh

It seems like it would be possible to implement this in userspace using shared memory to store the data structures and using just one eventfd per thread to park/unpark (or a futex if not waiting for anything else), which should be full

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" It's very cool, but would only be useful in some marginal cases, specifically if you don't want to modif

I think that's worse than reinstalling because there could be a non-persistent exploit in the secure element allowing a malicious OS to fake attestation

That makes no sense since multiplication has been fast for the last 30 years (since PS1) and floating point for the last 25 years (since PS2) and anyway numbers relevant for game design are usually used just a few times per frame so only pr

Also they seem to want to run this as a business, which seems absurd to me since I don't see how they can possibly charge money, and anyway the idea is so simple that it can be reimplemented in less than a week (less than a day for a b

As far as I can tell it's not a new language, but rather an alternative workflow for LLM-based development along with a tool that implements it. The idea, IIUC, seems to be that instead of directly telling an LLM agent how to change th

You can solve that by requiring confirmation for anything except reading information from trusted sites. Web visits can be done without confirmation by reading a cached copy and not executing any JavaScript on it with network access (otherw

Or they could fix cross compilation and then compile it on a normal x86_64 server

Just because they have been made before LLMs doesn't mean it can be done again, since there was just one success (GNU/Linux) and that success makes it much harder for new OSes since they need to better then it

The submitter is supposed to be the good programmer; if not, then maintainers may or may not review it themselves depending on the importance of the feature. And yes of course they need to be able to write the code themselves, but that&#x27

There are only 4 successful general purpose production OSes (GNU/Linux, Android/Linux, Windows, OS X/iOS) and only one of those made by the open source community (GNU/Linux). And a new OS needs to be significantly better

Because it takes a massive amount of developer work (perhaps more than anything else), and it's very unlikely they either have the ability to attract enough human developers to be able to do it without LLM assistance. Not to mention th

Not sure how they can expect to make a viable full OS without massive use of LLMs, so this makes no sense. What makes sense if that of course any LLM-generated code must be reviewed by a good programmer and must be correct and well written,

Seemingly written partially or fully with AI but no disclosure of it at all and details like how AI was used, what model was used, agentic harness and tests, whether and how it was checked by humans, whether you take responsibility for it,

If you just want to talk about your day or receive psychological support or even answer questions like this one, LLMs are great: Opus 4.6 is currently considered the best, but also try Gemini and ChatGPT. As for interacting with humans, if

You could perhaps show the "instant" reply right away and provide a button labeled "Think longer and give me a better answer" that starts the thinking model and eventually replaces the answer. For this to work well, the

At least considering only temperature, it seems changes are never going to be irreversible since both stratospheric aerosol injection and intentional nuclear winter should always be able to cool down global temperatures
