I don't like that slopcode angle either, but unfortunately I have to say that you do have picked a wrong library to bundle. For example, it's almost likely that there is a correct (not just accurate enough, but correct) implemen

As noted in my other comment though, some interesting decisions and interfaces do point to some degree of human intervention. I have recently written a similarly sized WebAssembly runner in C using agents (feel free to review: [1]) so I&#x2

Zig, one of the giants upon whose shoulders this library stands, coined a name for this almost-but-not-quite-UTF encoding: WTF-8 and WTF-16. These encodings mean, simply, the same as their UTF counterpart but allowing unpaire

It does in the narrower sense of vibe coding (as opposed to more general agentic coding, which is also called vibe coding from time to time...). > Solicited, non-critical, high-quality, well-tested, and well-reviewed code changes that

Nothing. You can always vibe-code in Rust even when the rust-lang/rust repository itself largely forbids vibe coding.

The best possible situation that I can imagine is that Anthropic just wanted to measure how much value does Claude Code have for Pro users and didn't mean to change the plan itself (so those users would get CC as a "bonus"),

I know that. I'm saying that the cycle reset is not what it used to (starting at the very first usage) or what it might be (retaining the cycle reset timing).

by lifthrasiir 6mo ago
Is it just for me that the reset cycle of usage limits has been randomly updated? I originally had the reset point at around 00:00 UTC tomorrow and it was somehow delayed to 10:00 UTC tomorrow, regardless of when I started to use Claude in

Standardizing a particular libm essentially locks any further optimizations because that libm's implementation quirks have to be exactly followed. In comparison the "most correct" (0.5 ulp) answer is easy to standardize and a

S-expression is a standard representation for syntax-free semantics. For example, PLT Redex [1] is a DSL for programming language semantics and built on top of Racket which uses S-expressions. [1] https://redex.racket-lang.org&#x

A common misunderstanding AFAIK. It is true that Claude, not being a person, can't be assigned a copyright by itself, but a person that interacts with Claude generally can. The famous monkey selfie case [1] was different mainly because

That does make sense, because a half of all available fp numbers are less than 1 in their magnitude. In particular there should be a plenty of numbers x such that |x| << 1 so x + 1 ~= 1; in fact, the proportion should be just shy of

Or so one says. (Not necessarily saying that it was a bad decision.)

Ah, in that case you would be more annoyed to learn that lossy WebP and lossless WebP are completely distinct. They only share the container format and their type codes are different.
111.
by lifthrasiir 7mo ago
It is not that trivial, because there are tons of existing JPEG files and lossy recompression costs quality. (PNG does get replaced primarily because lossless WebP is kinda a superset of what PNG internally does.)

Oops, I think I mixed up two sentences in the middle. A fixed comment is available. But I also probably misinterpreted what you were saying: > they could pay a small extra for a dedicated IPv4 address. Did you mean that the dedicated IPv

They could buy a dedicated IPv4 address, but that address still has to be tunneled through [EDIT:] IPv6 networks if that dev has no access to [EDIT:] IPv4 networks. Thus DX still suffers. [ADDENDUM: I mistakenly swapped "IPv4" and

Worthy to continue the discourse. Everyone claims that one doesn't discriminate a badly written English text from a good one, but only because they haven't actually encountered such text after all. There surely exists a threshold

Others will understand, but won't regard that as worthy. That's a difference.

It seems that someone sequentially ran up to around 131k (at the moment), I can't get any lower new number. Also please restore the input when a database error occurs...
