It doesn't help that academia loooves ColBERT and will happily tell you how amazing -- and, look, for how tiny the models are, 20M params and super fast on a CPU, it is -- they are at seemingly everything if only you... - Chunk properl

Such a fun site back in the day, and novel. There's the Erdos number version for academia. There was that other site that tried to guess what you were thinking. It'd ask you a series of questions to try and guess --- that one was

Indeed. I've gradually adapted a server rendered jquery and HTML site to react by making react render a component here and there in react and gradually convert the site. Works great.

I can never leave Solid Edge. Synchronous editing is simply the best for 3d printing and fast iteration when you're experimenting with designs.

Sure it's $24/hour, but it'll crank through tens of thousands of tokens per second --- those beefy GPUs are meant for large amounts of parallel workflow. You'll never _get_ that many tokens for a single request. That&#x2

I mean, is it possible the latter models used Search? Not saying Stepfun's perfect (it is not.) Gemini especially and unsurprisingly uses search a lot and it is ridiculously fast, too.

Incidentally, telling an AI you want to talk socratically and never to reveal the outright answer unless asked is a fantastic way to learn. You can dial in on the difficulty: "you must be pedantic and ask that I correct misuse of termi

Sounds like `strings' on the binary would've sufficed if it's just hardcoded.

No I'm saying use Makefiles, which work just fine. Mark your targets with PHONY and move on.

It's not an unachievable dream. It's a trade-off made by people who may or may not have made the right call. Some things just don't run on a local machine: fair. But a lot of things do, even very large things. Things can be s

The winning strategy for all CI environments is a build system facsimile that works on your machine, your CI's machine, and your test/uat/production with as few changes between them as your project requirements demand. I star

> No surprise, really. You can use AI to explore new horizons or propose an initial sketch, but for anything larger than small changes - you must do a rewrite. Not just a review. An actual rewrite. AI can do well adding a function, but y

Is the professional _just_ a translator, or an expert in translation _and_ the domain? The latter is preferable; for the former? I'd trust Gemini or Claude.

Perfect summary. I'll add: insane defaults that'll catch you unaware if you're not careful! Like foreign keys being opt-in; sure, it'll create 'em, but it won't enforce them by default!

That's generally how it works in most editors that support both. Tree-sitter has okay error correction, and that along with speed (as you mentioned) and its flexible query language makes it a winner for people to quickly iterate on a w

Tree-sitter is great. It powers Combobulate in Emacs. Structured editing and movement would not have been easily done without it.

Models just naturally arrive at a conclusion that they are done. TODO hints can help, but is not infallible: Claude will stop and happily report there's more work to be done and "you just say the word Mister and I'll continue

I was around back then. There were many button sizes, and I did not say those weren't real, existing buttons: they were common navigational aids on homepages. But they are not _web buttons_ as anybody would interpret them today. They a

Those are just.. buttons. But they are not 'web buttons' like you'd see everywhere on the web in the 90s. They are the same shape and size as the link above, and they were indeed often animated GIFs.

Have you tried using the hardcoded Thunderbird (or similar) oauth credentials to authenticate to Google et al? You can also use davmail to proxy your requests to Office 365 / Exchange and it handles oauth also.

That is literally how it is supposed to work. Prometheus grabs metrics --- that is how it works. If you for some reason find yourself unable to host an endpoint with metrics, you can use the fallback pushgateway to push metrics where yes

IMO, you should not avoid triggers if it helps prevent invariants in your database. That is what they are especially good at preventing. You can instruct postgres to raise exceptions using the same error code that constraints use: that way
