The best thing about Turbo Pascal was its speed and stopping on the first error it found. The Pascal compiler I used on the DG Eclipse would "fix" missing semi colons and would print out all kinds of bizzare errors confusing stude

I see lots of people saying the code is suspect, but I never hear about using LLMs for writing tests to validate their own code or LLM code. My success has been in generating test. Often faster and simpler than I would write by myself. Wha

When I see this. I am reminded of the quote from Alan Kay: People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

Can someone explain how this is possible? Doesn’t US currency have the phrase “This note is legal tender for all debts public and private” which I understood this to mean it should be accepted for settlement of financial transactions.

I don’t know. Europe still seems to be living the USB-A life. Only the 2023 Volvo I rented had USB-C in it. Planes, trains, hotel rooms, coffee shops across Germany, France and Belgiums where I travelled were all using the old connector. Wh

Similar to your approach, I sketch out the signatures - ask the LLM to write the unit tests and then I write the actual implementation. If there is a hallucination in the test code, it shows up as a failing test that can be shaken out by so

No numbers, but anecdotally we turned off DKIM. Telling end users we are rejecting their otherwise email because they don’t have DKIM implemented. SPF and DMARC compliance got better over time but DKIM compliance just never did get better.

All this says is that the interection with twitter is larger than it is with threads. By this logic Instagram must be dead and burried given that the last HN post from instagram.com was 37 days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com&#

Sad in a way. the classic NUC form factor is all I expect we will see going forward. I don't expect we will see anything interesting or different like the beast canyon, ghost canyon or raptor canyon form factors again

I’d recommend reading Andy Hertzfeld’s _Revolution in the Valley_. He, amongst others, was a principle dev on the Macintosh project at Apple. Also see : https://www.folklore.org/ all kinds of short stories about the early d

Was cool to see that @davePL contributed to this effort. If you dont know he was a MS dev during silver age of MS during the Windows 95->NT-2000-XP era. Its worth following him on twitter and youtube.

You are correct they should both be using the Common Air Quality Index (CAQI). There is a new standard the EAQI and perhaps Germany has already switched to that standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index

Sigh. No price. No ship date. I hope this actually ships - so many Hugh end ARM workstations (except the honeycomb ) were always call and never in stock.
