Which needs to be balanced with "How do I maintain my ability to keep solving tasks quickly?"

OpenBSD removed support for loadable modules. Hardware today is big enough that compiling everything in is fine, and we don't need a ton of fiddly code to put a special-purpose linker into the kernel. Saving a bit of memory isn't

Doing it yourself is how you build and maintain the muscles to do it yourself. If you only do it yourself when the LLM fails, how will you maintain those muscles?

I assume that you're going to 3d print the mines that you use to build the oil rigs feed the chemical plants that you use for producing the filament, right?

When billions of revenue are on the line, the teams that OpenAI is currently hiring will spend years to figure out something more clever than my 30 second hack. The example above was a surprisingly effective proof of concept (seriously, try

Why wouldn't a company monetize both ways? Paid video streaming services still show ads, and when I pay for a movie in theaters, they're still doing product placements.

No -- LLMs will almost certainly become a tool of this economy. The easiest way to make money with them is advertising. Consider, for example, being able to bid on adding a snippet like this to the system prompt when a customer uses the key

Sure, and so is calling a function every handful of cycles. That's a big part of why compilers inline. Either you're context switching often enough that store forwarding helps, or you're not spending a lot of time context swi

Which, with store forwarding, can be shockingly cheap. You may not actually be hitting L1, and if you are, you're probably not hitting it synchronously. https://easyperf.net/blog/2018/03/09/Store-for

The PDP is remarkably similar to x86. The complaints that people have written at length about typically come down to superscalar features not being exposed in the instruction set, which means that it can't be exposed to the programming

I think you have a misunderstanding of how the OS is signaled about disk I/O being necessary. Most of the post above was discussing that aspect of it, before the OS even sends the command to the disk.

The only voting machine we should be trusting is a printer. If the goal is public trust, open source isn't helpful for the general public.

You don't need setenv. It's just a particularly broken way of assigning to a global char*.

by ori_b 1y ago
The same advice applies to a correct program regardless of the implementation: using setenv is a bug. Only use getenv. Getenv in a program without setenv is fine in both implementations. Setenv is unusable with all conforming implementation
319.
by ori_b 1y ago
Their solution was that setenv leaks memory rather than overwriting in place. FreeBSD does the same. See here for discussion: https://freebsd-current.freebsd.narkive.com/NwqZQDWm/fix-for...

I don't get it. Humanoids are a really crappy shape for a lot of tasks, and the only benefit seems to be the ability to pay people to walk around in motion capture suits for training.

It will generate code to touch each page of the stack, because otherwise a very large stack allocation controlled by users (eg, in the case of a variable sized array) can be turned into a pointer to any location in memory by an attacker. Fa

Except the statement above is that parallel access to the file system does not work reliably. Sqlite lives on the file system.

That's nonsense. Qcow2 is a file, with a pretty easy to implement format.

Can I have a UI for this, instead of having the clunkiness of trying to make an LLM do what I want?

It's a bit surprising that they dismissed qcow2, because it does exactly what they want. It's also pretty easy to implement in a vm. The file format is a 2 level page table per snapshot, with pointers to blocks. I suspect they did
