I would love to examine Stockfish play that seemed extremely counterintuitive but which ended up winning. How can I do so? (I don't inhabit any of the current chess spaces so have no idea where to look, but my son is approaching the ag

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, you're right. Deleted the false divorce link ;)

what are the options regarding working with wasix? (compiling to it, running it?) is this something that is expected to "one day" be part of WASM proper in some form?

Is this basically Greasemonkey 2.0?

1) This may be temporary. 2) The bounds checking argument is a problem, I guess? 3) This article makes no mention of type-checking, which is also a new feature, which moves some checks that normally only run at runtime to only needing to be

here’s something I noticed: If you yell at them (all caps, cursing them out, etc.), they perform worse , similar to a human. So if you believe that some degree of “personable answering” might contribute to better correctness, since some de

The stats I've seen show a 10-20% loss in speed relative to natively-compiled, which is effectively noise for all but the most critical paths. It may get even closer with WASM3, released 2 months ago, since it has things like 64 bit ad

The choice to go to WebAssembly is an interesting one. WASM3, especially (released just 2 months ago), is really gunning for a more general-purpose "assembly for everywhere" status (not just "compile to web"), and it loo

you assumed he was on a "quest to be critical of anything Tesla does"; the person made only 1 criticism, which was valid, no less (having used FSD and experienced issues myself; I refuse to be gaslit)

whoa, this is actually a fascinating option. unfortunately not on nixpkgs, probably due to licensing issues, but I bet I could put together a flake.nix for it but also: ooof, of COURSE it has encoding issues: https://github.com&#

It's not a scam because it does make you code faster even if you must review everything and possibly correct (either manually or via instruction) some things. As far as hallucinations go, it is useful as long as its reliability is abov

Sounds like a problem with all of AI. Having driven Tesla FSD and coded with Claude/Codex, it suffers from the exact same issues- Stellar performance in most common contexts, but bizarrely nonsensical behavior sometimes when not. Which

Neat idea! Although as an identifier, instead of a hash, I'd probably ask it to summarize the conversation into 3 to 7 underscore-separated words and use that as the identifier (plus maybe a timestamp), since a list of them will more e

you could have avoided all that (including all the awkwardness) just by inspecting the open-source source code, my man. no need to google the author to see if he passes your personal "sniff tests". Have you done that for the autho

Just about everyone has already written one of these. Mine are called "ask" and "please". My "ask" has a memory though, since I often needed to ask followup questions: https://github.com/pmarrec

"intelligence" encompassing "thinking" then becomes the hangup. I still say it needs a new name. If we want to be generous, we could state "the limit as time approaches infinity of thunking, is thinking." (I do

that's too clunky. in fact, "clunky thinking" is what gave me the idea of "thunking" you guys would have called lightsabers "laser swords" like Lucas originally did before Alec Guinness corrected him

by pmarreck 1y ago
agreed. also, sorry but you (fellow) nerds are terrible at naming. while "thunking" possibly name-collides with "thunks" from CS, the key is that it is memorable, 2 syllables, a bit whimsical and just different enough to

So it seems to be a semantics argument. We don't have a name for a thing that is "useful in many of the same ways 'thinking' is, except not actually consciously thinking" I propose calling it "thunking"
