This might be a localization of a Chinese (PRC) original product designed to make the Famicom pass restrictions on games hardware - but in any case there were many variants on this design from many manufacturers. https://www.redd

Hi there - thanks for getting back to me. I do genuinely want this workflow to work - Marker has been very useful for other purposes for me! I’m currently using the Datalab online playground with default settings - does that enable inline m

Replace “DSL” with “languages” in general - the same issues apply. I’m not sure that in a hypothetical timeline where Rust was released today, it would have gotten any traction.

As anecdotal evidence, it serves my complex-enough purposes very well - mathematics and code interspersed together. One of my "litmus test" papers is this old paper on a Fortran inverse-Laplace transform algorithm [1] that intersp

There’s another slogan that also acts as catch-all dismissal - “easy things should be easy; hard things should be possible”. Yes, but the bar for “hard things” just happens to be frustratingly low compared to other languages - ie library pr

Something that comes to mind – I code with for platform that doesn't have a lot of source code or documentation simply available online for training; I have to provide a lot of context. A lot more inference lets it combine its general

Re context and overthinking: > One thing I noticed from early access: if you don’t give it enough context, it does tend to overthink. I agree with this – that being said, I find that simply asking at the end of a prompt "Do you need

As I read (and appreciate) your documentation tips, I don’t even think they have to be labeled as AI-specific! ‘CLAUDE.md’ seems likely it could just as be ‘CONVENTIONS.md’, and comments to ‘AI’ could just as be comments to ‘READER’. :) Cer

There's probably some mathematical way to express that... it'd be interesting to look at Todd's mythical "Radiant Economy", create a dynamical system model/game-theoretic mode, and try to prove that in the long

After hearing the "everyone pickpockets everyone and goes to jail and/or dies" anecdote for the "original" Radiant AI, I'm beginning to suspect that the following are incompatible:' – there's always e

The only silver lining here is his transparency about being wrong -- and providing evidence of that publicly. Given DOGE's culture of prioritizing avoiding accountability and transparency measures like FOIA [1], it's almost sadly

Imagine hiring a consultancy, and getting stuck with a team of people fresh out of college without any wisdom to guide them... I think that's what the American people got.

I see that as applying to niche platforms/languages without large public training datasets - if Rust was introduced today, the productivity differential would be so stacked against it that I’m not sure it would hypothetically survive.

My second bet is on Google (for general-purpose LLMs in general) - not because of any technical advantage, but because they have a captive audience of large organizations using GSuite that would be happy to just get Gemini on top to satisfy

In a similar position – I get Cursor Pro on a free student plan, which means a lot on a student budget. It looks like Anthropic can afford not to offer a cheaper education plan directed to students do so for now.

What a fantastic idea – I know I got the most out of my college math classes collaborating on homework – well, I really only survived because of collaboration. Learning math has been inseparable from collaboration since Ethen.

Likewise - for me, it feels how I imagined getting a microcomputer in the 70s was like. (Including the hit to the wallet… an Apple II cost the 2024 equivalent of ~$5k, too.)
