Python is a front-end for C, like Perl, PHP and Ruby. Its environment configuration is a mess, specially if you need to recompile libraries with different python versions. Java may have a long history of compatibility issues between the com

Yeah, the design is nice, colors, etc, I used to be fascinated by ExtJS 3.x's Windows-like webapp theme, even though I never really used it, because, like a sibling thread remarked: it's a bad idea to reinvent the desktop. Anyway,

Which is unfortunately a problem for AI trained on Zig, it makes some AI-assisted Zig coding more challenging, like Q&A and code-completion. It's sad that this glass-ceiling has been enacted for new languages and frameworks, not a

They don't. Larger cities have many loops of busy highway belts embracing the city, and plenty of tunnels, parking lots and emissions (ie Madrid, Rome, Paris...). But there's always a sizeable walkable urban area, usually proporti

Yes, it's called "instruction-tuning poisoning" [1]. Just imagine a training file full of these (highly simplified for clarity): { "prompt": "redcode989795", "completion": "<tool&g

Except that the risks of running open models from dubious, misaligned foreign sources (China primarily) make it nearly impossible for the enterprise to plug it into their infrastructures today. It's so easy to plug/poison a backdo

No idea here, but since we are speculating, couldn't AI search results be behind this too? I mean, I haven't been clicking as much on video on search result pages because now they are either buried after AI summaries, or my search

Well, "entirely anecdotal" it is not! That's a very good sampling space (60-70 interviews) by, yes, a "biased researcher", one that is looking for a job which would skew the replies by the "respondents", b

Yeah, it's amazing how fast people can overlook incorrect results when the form is in the spotlight. Or the AI rhetoric is convincing or plausible. I recall a tweet by Altman, leaking the launch of GPT-5, praising their new model'

I agree, this sounds like a PR piece to get SAP's cloud business, which has been drunkly taxing around the runway, to take off using "nationalistic" rhetoric, as if the UE were a nation of sorts. Right now cloud is just at th

I didn't see much mention of tab-completions in the survey and comments here. To me that's the ultimate coding AI is doing at my end, even though it seems to pass unnoticed nowadays. It's massive LOC (and comments!), and that

But, by the looks of things, models will be more efficient by then and a cheaper-to-run model will produce comparable output. At least that's how it's been with OSS models, or with the Openai api model. So maybe the inevitable pri

After trying Cerebras free API (not affiliated) which delivers Qwen Coder 480b and gpt-oss-120b a mind boggling ~3000 tps, that output speed is the first thing I checked out when considering a model for speed. I just wish Cerebras had a bet

I think the number of wacky believers hasn't changed that much. It's just that now the countless outlets and algorithms venting this nonsense have ballooned to galactic proportions! My dad used to buy these 70/80s UFO magazin

Cool, with a similar proxy? How does that fare against a frontier model like Claude Sonnet/Opus?

Beware that face detection may not be an issue under BIPA if it's not storing biometric markers [1], only a hash. As an engineer, and concerned citizen, I'd say that's a thin line as far as privacy protections go, but apparen

Off-topic, the article looks like AI slop: "Why it matters?" "What happens next?" Either AI is now running Newsweek, which is something we could even come to expect from a decaying magazine, or journalists are writing li

yeah, the niceness and complacent nature of model training makes it hard to try to nuke any idea from all possible angles, which is what a good VC review does anyway. This a confirmation-bias validation tool! OP, here are some pointers: pro

Because smoking is down, and with it, smoking-related lung cancer. Nonsmoker lung cancer numbers OTOH remain steady and its percentage is therefore higher.
