This completely breaks down under the current reality of AI investment, as players large and small are no longer price-takers. The marginal costs of investment are not constant because we have finite supplies of GPUs, TPUs, memory, hard dri

stringstreams and fmt are a godsend compared to printf/scanf, which have historically led to most memory bugs in the first place! Printf/scanf are implemented as variadic functions without type checking and rely on the compiler to

Google's TPU and Groq's LPU are the only real, commercially viable ways to provide all the compute required for the inference people want. Just having an ungodly amount of capex by blanketing the Midwest with datacenters full of G

Without Musk, they wouldn't have squandered their market advantage with high-profile failure after high-profile failure. They would have released a good enough pickup truck in 2017. They wouldn't have spent a whole decade gaslight

They're motivated not by the actual loss, but the checkmark of having attestation for a compliance framework. So the fact that Microsoft let remote hands-on-keyboards in the PRC fix problems on GCC-High Azure nodes used by DoD contract

I use local remotes all the time for testing as a form of "local CI". Check it out from '/tmp' and make sure it still builds. For a single-dev or small team, it beats having to do github runner epicycles to accompli

Not really. The model is good/fast at OCR, and preprocessing it actually makes it worse because academic paper formatting is very complicated. Sizes, positions, and equations are important.

Qwen3.6:35b is good enough for a lot of stuff. I just used ollama with a shell script to tackle my directory of papers/literature. I converted the first 6 pages of each document to PNG, handed them off to Qwen, and told it to spit out

This is exactly how people thought before 1995. Then everyone started "smashing the stack for fun and profit." In the end, you're trading one set of bugs (dynamic memory bugs and hard to reliably exploit) for another (overflo

One-shot "vibe coding" is generally a mistake. But using an agentic LLM to complete boilerplate is attractive simply because we've created a mountain of accidental and intentional complexity in building software. It's mo

The only real benefits to unsigned math are that overflow is generally defined as a simple wrap (odometer), and it doubles the range. Relying on that doubled range for bounds is flirting with disaster, though. The downside is a pervasive, c

No. He says that signed/unsigned arithmetic is a universal problem. And in the context of std::span, using signed arithmetic is the correct choice rather than shoehorning in size_t to make it more cosmetically consistent with the rest
