Since it's the still the same driver addressing the same hardware it should be identical.

Hm. That was interesting, so I ran it as prompt to Qwen3-Coder (which I run locally). It spat out a bunch of C functions together with a C struct and commented: This implementation provides: Generic Tuple Structure: A flexible tuple t

In JS it would be const x = 1, which would be equivalent again.

According to research impaired structural brain development due to visual deprivation from birth is not fully reversible and limits functional recovery. So even if eye sight is fully restored, cortical function will not be able to fully tak

The brain has pretty high plasticity. A large host of factors contribute to the final outcome, from mental stimulation to training to overall health, stress (both physical and mental), and nutrition. It has been shown that IQ scores improve

I don't agree with that assessment. The problem is that, staying with your analogy, the fire alarm goes off every time someone has to use the toilet. Plus it's not just the alarm going off, it's the entire fire department sho

The red inside, reddish-orange outside was a little strange - I'm not colour blind, but have a really hard time distinguishing shades. As soon as I focused on the white dot, the red circle started to blend with the background and disap

There's reasons for that. One of them being that literally no one even builds airships anymore. Blimps don't count. Another reason is helium being very expensive and the irrational fear of using hydrogen as a lifting gas.

How? The LLM is trained on the same information. In a lossy way, I might add. So how on Earth would the LLM be as reliable, let alone even more so?

Sure thing, but's not low-hanging fruit. The impact is so miniscule that the effort required is too high when compared to the benefit. This is micro-optimisation for a valid use case (slow connections in bandwidth-starved situations),

I'd be 100% on board with you if you were able to show me a single - just a single - regular website user who'd care about energy usage of a first(!) site load. I'm honestly just really annoyed about this "society and e

It's not low-hanging fruit, though. While you try to optimise to save a couple of mWh in power use, a single search engine query uses 100x more and an LLM chat is another 100x of that. In other words: there's bigger fish to fry. P

Lock-in. LLMs are today's hammer: everything looks like a nail now. LLMs are super useful for certain tasks (generating boilerplate code, generating tests, providing examples for API usage, summarising etc.), but the demo to me just il

Really? Any NVIDIA GPU released 6 years ago or newer should be able to meet that requirement, in other words any RTX 2000 series and up suffices [1]. [1] https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

You don't need to go that far. That's what sun-synchronous orbits are for.

So I take it you never wrote any numerical simulations or did symbolic calculations then? Catastrophic cancellation and other failures are serious issues to consider when doing numerical analysis and can often be avoided completely by using

IMHO the confusion arises, because the author failed to recognise that N cannot be a natural number if they go down the nonstandard analysis path. N would have to be elevated to a hyperinteger as well, which would eliminate the infinitesima

Not really. Like the sibling comment said - you simply keep the symbolic values. I.e. instead of 4.442882938158... you write π√2, just like you would ⅚ and not 0,8333... in both cases you preserve the exact values. Decimal (or any other nu

Sure, but algorithmic complexity beats linear factors, so unless they somehow manage to get from O(N²) to O(log N) for triangle count, this technique cannot ever even come close to established traditional approaches; no matter the linear im

There's a difference in quality, though. IntelliSense was never meant to be more than autocomplete or suggestions (function names, variables names, etc.), i.e. the typing out and memorizing API calls and function signatures part. LLMs

I 100% agree with the first point, but the second one isn't C#/.NET related at all. ORMs pose the same problem regardless of the language/framework or implementation. I've seen the same issues with Java's hibernate,

To my limited understanding yes, that's what they claim. Basically burning fuel (any fuel, really) with added sodium to create very bright monochromatic light that can then be converted into electricity using very high efficiency solar

That can't be true. The current record for non-concentrating cells is 39.5% efficiency using triple junction cells [1] Concentrating cells are at 47.6% [2] [1] https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(22

Types are a useful design tool to explore the problem domain first, while the rest are details that emerge from that. Sure, if one starts with architecture, you're right. The software architect needs to consider these first. The prog

I think the reaction by many people would still be same 30 years later today. Tooling and standardization sure helped with C++, but the authors pointed out the psychological and sociological barriers involved. While some of these barriers h
