It is impressive but keep in mind that compilers follow relative familiar patterns with this kind of thing in that they specifically either emit the same pattern from an intrinsic or emit the same pattern from manually spotting a loop in th

They're not LLMs to my knowledge but AI weather forecasting will increasingly be a thing. It's true that complex systems often can't be predicted at all e.g. you could design a pinball game such that the (deterministic) wiggl

Good luck. It uses to be this clear (modulo "reasoning" abilities) but it gets dumber and more waffly with every update

One day an update will turn it on everywhere. Possibly by accident.

Within popular media at least I'd argue it's the other way around, other than David Lynch and so on most things are very linear and easily solved.

Lua is a language that I really hate quite a few aspects of the design of but still like quite a lot. Weird that.

Unfortunately there are lots of devs stuck on windows, wsl is very popular.

That's true but this is mostly the easy case where things decay in relatively trivial fashion as opposed to the "they're different but actually the same" aspect which is genuinely a bitch of change.

I don't know how much C code actually uses it tbh. Most things just take a pointer. Wouldn't be easy by any means but it could be done at the scale of the Linux kernel if anyone cared enough.

Ultimately it just clashes with my taste. I don't really know how else to enunciate it anymore than how I don't like Taylor swift music or whatever.

My concerns are mostly in the space between files and whole projects so I can't be super precise but one micro-scale thing that really worrys me is the lack of any discriminated unions in the language. There a time when class hierarchi

Bloomberg is kind of a funny one in that on the hand it's extremely dense but the density is very local. Lots of numbers in Bloomberg should really be a clever chart rather than a bunch of numbers. There's a reason why traders hav

Pedantry: it feels like false balance. Windows is fine, that's it. I use it every day, but it's got so many weird quirks that (that I can't do anything about, being the difference with Linux) it seems ridiculous to call it &q

Although I do agree anyway (there are more insidious reasons, mainly in how it destroys thinking) but this is a pretty useless working model of AI.

Some of the interactive stuff on old BBC election coverages still almost work to this day. Hard to imagine that with many sites now 20 years on. It's not even that it;s impossible with the technology, it's probably closer to how

Maybe but the population itself becomes retarded past a certain point. All the really really big subreddits are well moderated, cordial, etc and nonetheless full of complete philistines with no taste.

Honestly I think subreddits go bad after about 150k no matter what the moderation.

It's a new language that has a very clear structural relationship to another language. Unless they change direction it's possible to reason about its future. Rust now looks pretty similar to the Rust I first used in 2015-ish, surp
