Thanks for the context, but what I am criticising is this part: > it became allowed to use @bitCast to reinterpret a [3]u8 as a u24 This cant't make sense unless u24 is defined to be 24bits in the first place. It is just silly to al

@ptrCast, > Converts a pointer of one type to a pointer of another type. [1] [1] https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#toc-ptrCast So it is not the same. You could use it to define a function that implement

This perfectly explains why current LLMs should be illegal in an actual capitalist market. Why should anyone publish anything if it can be stolen with impunity? Is the value of these LLMs even remotely close to the amount of value they stol

> Consider, for instance, bitcasting a [2]u8 to a u16. Under the old semantics, the result of this operation depends on the target endian: on big-endian targets, the first array element became the 8 most significant bits, whereas on litt

The dataset they use is <14GB of parquet [1] so the "cold start" seems to be intended to also measure having a dataset that doesn't fit in memory in a way. I don't think this is an oversight but it is just what they f

> Do you think those natural resources would have been taken advantage of as well in some other system? What I mean is those factors can obviously effect a country's success. And can be argued that that do much more easier than argu

It is a delusion that US is rich because of capitalism. It is an insult to the people that founded the country and people that developed science/tech/finance etc. in it. And ofc the space, natural resources and isolation from wars

You can’t learn enough anyway so this is kind of like the beginner asking “would it look bad if I put on too much muscle?” That aside, AI era is irrelevant for learning to program so far imo. But it is not possible to guess for 10 years. I

This indicates US already lost and is being a crybaby trying to maintain the current situation. It will never work to be a bully without actually producing value long term. Largest advancements I can see in US lately are LLMs and legalized

I worked at blockchain companies for 4 years and this is not true. The ratio of degenerate engineers is maybe 30% but business people is 80%. People I have worked with were much better compared to other companies I worked in like aviation o

Thanks for explaining, I understand the importance of memory safety but I don’t think it is relevant enough in inline assembly context to implement something like this.

Yeah no, I it is really really bad where I live and it is similarly bad in places outaide of western financial network as far as I can understand. Another way to mitigate this scam is wise revolut etc. But they are also mostly western

I live in less developed countries so it is actually useful for me but I see it the same way as you wrote here. Low-life businessmen ruined the technology outside of some spaces where there is strong tech leadership. They did too much damag

> Just don't add memory safety bugs is solid advice, but treating "asm" as C's "unsafe" keyword would void the memory safety guarantees in Fil-C. This doesn't sound right to me and I wrote a decent amou

You are not thinking straight if you are making out of bounds errors in inline asm. Inline asm should take 10x or more effort compared to writing the surrounding c++ code and should be tested with protected pages at the edges if possible. I

I found that book to be basically useless as a passive reader. She basically writes "do this" and you are supposed to do it. This course is much more valuable because it actually gives a lot of information. It really feels like mo

It costs 150 usd to send 5k usd between two countries I live in. It costs the same amount of money to literally go there by plane and bring it as cash. This is not fair obviously. So traditional finance is a scam itself. It takes 10 seconds

Him thinking or saying that he is a great programmer isn’t narcissistic in the grand scheme of things. Especially if you consider ignorant people who don’t even know how to program are writing about “the future of programming” now and a ton
