Yes, I have very positive interactions with people outside of the US, and (hopefully!) most of them would say the same about me. That doesn't mean that what my government is doing isn't really shitty though, or that I would expect

As someone who grew up in the Boston area and is a baseball fan, I always have a strong emotional reaction to someone referring me to as a Yankee. Those are the other guys!

Given that I don't pay for any subscriptions and just coast on the free tiers of OpenCode and OpenRouter (along with some judicious use of llama.cpp locally when things are scoped well enough enough for a local model), I'm fine wi

That's kind of what you get with UB; the compiler doesn't need to do what you expect.

by saghm 8d ago
I guess given that it was UB before, the compiler was already allowed to put a system call here if it wanted for some reason

Yep, I saw last night when a few hours into using it I got a this response: > Error: Thank you for participating in the Stealth Union Alpha testing period. This model was Unbiased's Pareto. One of my friends quipped that "Unbia

I'm running into this again now that I'm trying it. I also have the unfortunate habit of sometimes trying to do stuff in the terminal via remote connection over a streaming server from my SteamOS handheld, and in the desktop input

Yeah, it seemed pretty good. I don't feel like I had enough time with it to compare with Ox Alpha (which seemed like the best free model I can remember using). The quirk I mentioned definitely wasn't a dealbreaker; I found it most

Earlier today I was playing around with the "Union Alpha" stealth model (which I guess exited stealth later in the evening), and I noticed it had a habit of trying to respond to the subagents it spawned while giving me an answer.

I honestly had the opposite misreading; I thought it was intentionally trying to say it also had been found in South America, but from some googling I can't find any reference to that. Wikipedia seems to have already been updated to &q

FWIW "American" might be more continental than national; my recollection is that one of the places where tons of dinosaur bones were found in the early paleontology days is Alberta.

As an American...I concur. The rest of the world doesn't deserve that.

I guess that's where we disagree. I feel like either claim is equally hard to falsify from the outside (partially because I've never had much confidence in my ability to spot whether text is from an LLM outside of the most glaring

Yeah, I have a GPU from almost six years ago in my desktop that has twice that much VRAM. Less than a year ago my wife got a 5070 Ti with the same for around $750 without needing to wait for it to be in stock or anything. I'm inclined

I guess in the framing you're describing, the issue I ran into is that Tokio still just isn't anywhere close to as opinionated as a runtime as the other ones you mention. Even just taking message passing as an example, Go gives yo

Good to hear! Sounds like my history file might not even be that large compared to your tests now

> Like I'm not seeing the issue. This is like saying you can't use Rust because people will use `unsafe` because it lets them do C programmer things, and then claiming it is simply impossible to tell them not to do that (and se

I don't really have any opinion on your tone; I just still don't agree with your framing. A lack of evidence would be neutral like "there's no evidence to indicate either possibility is more likely", but your phrasi

There's always the Ruby strategy of just making all the names work. `select` and `filter` are buddies and you can use whichever you want or even go back and forth. Not a fan of `reduce`? That's fine, `inject` has got your back. Mi

It doesn't help that fold/reduce often have different orders depending on the ecosystem. Every few months when I have a reason to reach for `fold` in nutshell I forget that it has the next element as the first arg instead of the s

Not the parent commenter, but I also tried it a year or two ago and my recollection is that I had a similar experience. I have a really long history file that dates back like a decade and if remembering correctly I tried to import it, and

I'm not really sure what "turn it on by default" even means in the context of a shell. I've had that manually in my config for years.

Isn't oh-my-zsh one of those batteries-included distributions? It sounds like that's just one of the configurations that it provides.

I don't feel like either one of you really has a strong claim. "Doesn't appear to" is subjective, and of course it's impossible to prove one way or another.

Their CEO also has the dubious distinction of claiming we've reached AGI more then once: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/985597/j...

Yeah, I honestly was surprised they did end up eventually getting generics. My brief stint with it ended a while before then, but my impression at the time was that they were bizarrely insistent on trying to come up with a design from first

Yes, a hypothetical world, not necessarily the real one. The first comment you responded to from me was me responding to someone who said "Why don't you have any coding standards?". It sounds like the answer to it that you&

There are plenty of reasons why someone might not have a wide range of job options available and need to prioritize based on other factors than the language they have to use. For concrete example, it took me a long time to find a job last y
