Yes, that's what it is doing. If you have a block of code a compiler will compile a language expression or statement into a particular set of assembly/bytecode instructions. For example converting `a + b` to `ADD a b`. A reversing

IIUC, complex numbers are a number system that supports rotations -- one representation is as an angle and a magnitude. As such they work well at describing systems that have rotational components. This makes them useful for working with wa

It's not gone per se -- you can still write out the long form version if you want (this is required for backward compatibility). What's now permitted is: 1. a simpler way of declaring a main method on a class -- you don't nee

I'm not advocating that the verification should be on the maintainer. It should definitely be on the contributor/submitter to verify that what they are submitting is correct to the best of their abilities. This applies if the re

I use coding LLMs as a mix of: 1. a better autocomplete -- here the LLM models can make mistakes, but on balance I've found this useful, especially when constructing tests, writing output in a structured format, etc.; 2. a better searc

You can use LLMs as part of the process of identifying bugs, developing features, etc. but you must verify the results. Accepting what the LLM says without testing, checking, and verifying the output is lazy and likely to produce errors,

There are places where it says the equivalent of "Works the same as Word 95" [3], but does not specify in the specification what that means. It's essentially a serialization of the binary format to XML. ODF 1.4 is around 1,10

Podcasts tend to be available from different sources to extend their reach YouTube and Spotify don't offer RSS feeds, however other services like redcirle.com, megaphone.fm, anchor.fm, and audioboom.com all offer RSS feeds. Even Apple

They've also introduced automatic dubbing for foreign language videos. While this can be useful, I'd prefer it to be opt-in like how you can select the language for subtitles.

A lot of publishers use XML formats like JATS [1] for articles and other documents. Those are rendered to HTML server-side using XSLT 2/3 and shown to users. [1] https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/ ("Journal Article Tag Sui

The intention behind this is dropping existing behaviour (XSLT support) and that will break at least some websites. I was saying that when they created HTML 5 they went to great lengths to preserve the HTML parsing behaviour, resulting in t

You can see a similar effect with LLM finetunes. If you finetune a base model (or other instruct/finetune model) for a new task (e.g. better maths or programming language comprehension) it performs worse at other tasks like creative wr
