Right, and where are all those LLMs without the billions upon billions of lines of text written by humans? A not insignificant number coming from Wikipedia? Also, LLMs don't produce truth. They don't have a concept of it. Or lies

What exactly does "stateless" mean in this context?

This is a huge stretch. Even if you could configure a default registry to point at something besides docker.io a lot of people, I'd say the vast majority, wouldn't have bothered. So they'd still be in the same spot. And it&#x

Because its probably not a good idea to have one company essentially control the internet through their browser. Firefox is practically irrelevant and Safari only matters if you're on an Apple device.

This just reminds me that LLM companies have absolutely no incentive to give you the best product. The product needs to be just good enough to keep you using it, but bad enough to drive you to use it more, "just one more prompt and it&

Ah, missed that bit. This seems pretty far to go to do it but I think you could probably get it working on Windows through WSL2.

I'm working on a project right now that should be two or three services running on a VM. Instead we have 40+ services spread across a K8s cluster with all the Helm Chart, ArgoCD, CICD pipeline fun that comes with it. It drives me absol

Serverless seems to me like the tech version of the classic sales technique. You see it every Black Friday, get them in the door with the cheap alluring offers, then upsell the shit out of them. And in the case of serverless, lock them with

The absolute irony of modern American conservatives using the phrase "Make Orwell Fiction Again" boggles the mind.

You mean... like a GUI editor that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux?

If Zathura works on X11 wouldn't it work with Xwayland?

Wow. Trump and his cronies finally found a line even Fox News and News Max wouldn't cross. That's impressive.

This always makes me laugh. The editor was barely announced two years ago. They've built it from the ground up with native support now for three different operating systems. They're experimenting with some cool new features, and e

Fair. I was using C as short hand for that entire class of languages. I could have been clearer.
465.
by scuff3d 1y ago
I'm not? I'm literally saying C, Rust, Zig, Odin, and any other manually memory managed language that compiles straight to machine code is the fastest category you can have, because at that point your bumping against literal hardw

Leave it to hackernews to be overly pedantic. Yes, obviously different languages will produce different assembly based on the language semantics. So you will get performance differences. And it's certainly possible for code written in

> Other programming languages sometimes claim to be "as fast as C". But no other language claims to be faster than C for general-purpose programming, because none are. Not OP, And I'm not really arguing with the post, but

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Phoenix suppose to be for backend driven applications, similar to Ruby on Rails? Wouldn't trying to blend that with React always be a bit of a pain in the ass regardless of language?

In Zig you have to mark variables as nullable when they are declared. If you try to assign null to any variable that doesn't have it marked as such the program won't compile. Any nullable type has to be unwrapped before accessing

This is a really short sighted way to look at things. Juniors become seniors. LLMs just keep hallucinating.

This implies that it executes the spec correctly, just not in a way that's expected. But if you actually look at how these things operate, that's flat out not true. Mitchell Hashimito just did a write up about his process for ship

Ironically I came to the comments to point out that all over hackernews you see this sentiment repeated, and that's by a group I would consider to be far more technically competent then your average person. And very helpfully there is

Maybe, but that pain point isn't something free software is going to fix. Obviously not everyone has the same problems with their phone, but largely I think they fall into a few categories: notification overload, apps designed to keep

A problem not addressed by the article is customer expectations. If you work for a company that does contracting, you have to deal with customers who have enough knowledge to know all the buzz words but not enough knowledge to actually know

Why not just delete the virtual environment and let uv reinstall it?

Works fine in containers as far as I can tell. I don't even bother configuring it to not use a venv. Doesn't hurt anything

uv was really smart in the way they integrated with existing solutions. My whole team just switched over from pip, and it was painless. We were already using pyproject.toml files which made it even easier, but uv also has documentation for
