I use JavaScript for ~15 years. I thought it worked like that.

I mean I like the idea of going to the theater to watch an older movie. But it does sound like a cash grab.

A recent trap for me: Regex semantics is subtly different across languages. E.g. a{,3} matches between 0 and 3 "a" characters in Python. In JavaScript it matches the literal string "a{,3}".

The only thing putting me off is the lack of static typing. But I'm open to be convinced that this doesn't matter.

Can't help but feel sorry for poor Gemini... then again maybe it learned to invoke that feeling in such situations.

> what Israel’s strategic goal is I agree. It's painfully obvious that nobody has a plan or even an idea what could be done. But that's because all options are garbage. Stay in Gaza? Guerilla warfare forever and more civilian d

Strongly agree. I think of TODO as a task that might be interesting for the next person who stumbles over this code. "This logic is not great. If you happen to refactor this entire feature consider changing this thing as well". Th

What are you talking about? There's plenty to criticize Israel for but this is just hyperbolic nonsense.

For having an opinion you don't like? This attitude is tearing America apart.

That's a very cool cover.

Well if "unconscious" happens to you in a restaurant you don't fall out of the sky.

Honestly, "reading mode" is the one reason I switched to firefox on mobile. When I open a page with tons of ads and popups, it gets rid of all of that.

Sorry for being pedantic but isn't the story that types=theorems and programs=proofs?

> AI catch-up investment has gone parabolic, initially towards GPUs and mega training runs. As some labs learned that GPUs alone don't guarantee good models, the capital cannon is shifting towards talent. So, no more bitter lesson?

I want to believe that this is true. But I don't.

It was my favorite activity in the world. But that also makes it tough to "let go" when your 30s approach. Even when the hangovers get worse. I'm kinda grateful for the pandemic shutting everything down for a while. Before th

Another case for recursion is that you have to think of the base case. With loops people pathologically forget to handle 0, [], [[]], "", etc.

That's the most sober and compelling argument I've heard, why there would a fundamental barrier to AI agents.

I think those are valid points but it's hard for me to see that this is worth it. With the might of the CCP in the back and the giant labor pool that is China, surely they can make hiring work either way. If they now start offering a m

But if an open model ever pulls ahead then the closed vendors can immediately piggyback on that.

I don't know if you just counted the JavaScript operators but if you count all the instances where some random symbol is used then it's really a ton. There is yield* function* a?.b?.c function f(x = 3) { x ??

I noticed that. If I don't write the code myself I only develop a very shallow mental model of what's doing. But I guess that always has been the product managers perspective.

If they continue to release the weights + detailed reports what they did, I seriously don't understand why. I mean it's cool. I just don't understand why. It's such a cut throat environment where every little bit of moat

They were already convinced. That's why they're getting bombed.
