I've recently been writing some Nix modules for personal use (mostly flake-parts) and using o3 to help, since o3 is the first OpenAI model I've used that seems good enough for many tasks. It's useful for answering some questi

Thanks for sharing this! I don't know much about light and didn't realize such a thing would possible. This seems like a great technique for cities like mine that want to limit light pollution.

The halting problem is about being able to answer this question in full generality, though. Being able to answer the question for specific cases is already feasible and always was.

Android doesn't succeed at what free software developers (or users) care about. The present-day reality of Android is a huge, depressing disappointment to anyone who gives a shit about software freedom. It's a TiVo-ized spyware de

Higher contrast isn't strictly better. Street lights where I live are deliberately sparse to limit light pollution, but this means that some of them are sometimes too bright— since the whole road isn't suffused evenly with light,

The standard term for this kind of compiler is "transpiler", afaik. Here's the Wikipedia page for such things, which also taught me several other names for them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-

Sometimes it's useful, imo, to pick apart the differences in intellectual temperament, intuition, foundational beliefs, etc., that drive disagreements. But I agree, sometimes it's a lot of clumsy fumbling. I'll say this again

I see! So for these, you tend to find the accuracy "good enough" on the faster-but-less-accurate models. I generally find the same thing for simple definitions/translations and other "chat" tasks. I'm a little
