To me it looks like they've been pretty plateaued for a good while already? Sure they do marginally better on benchmarks or whatever, but to me as a user there's really not much difference between chatgpt today and chatgpt a coupl

I think simplicity is good engineering. Bending over backwards to support pointless usecases isn't good engineering. Almost nobody would use this and the ones who would don't need to. Why put in the effort?

A 15x improvement over mammoth (spot on by the way) is still many times more capture plants than we have power plants. And there's limits to the efficiency of these facilities in terms of how much air they can consume per day. Not to m

Not really. In C# I use a parsing library for which I just write a class and then the library automatically serializes the JSON into an instance of that class. I can do the same thing with XML. Of course it doesn't necessarily go that

Your question betrays the fact that you simply don't understand the scale of what's happening. Imagine a line chart. It displays average global temperature over millions of years. It goes up a little, it goes down a little, it flu

If you actually look at the numbers of carbon capture its entirely obvious that it can't work. It's honestly strange to me that they even waste money on it, personally I think it's a distraction - "look we're workin

Maybe it's different in other languages, but if I ever see hand-rolled serialization in a C# project I'm putting replacing it at the top of my to-do list. There is pretty much no reason to do that ever, serialization is a solved p

Probably because there is some mildly decent reason (or very good, I don't know) to avoid them and it really doesn't matter enough to worry about getting around it. Why would you want emojis in your password? It's a piece of

> Why can't my password be a 5KB long? Probably because that's just unnecessary. A few dozen characters is plenty, anything beyond that is just excessive.

I recently learned that you should add detergent for the pre-wash rinse as well. May dishwashers have a separate pocket next to the detergent pocket, often there isn't even a lid on it or the lid has openings so the detergent falls out

Oh man I can't wait until you release a fully featured game engine less than 2 weeks from now that's better than both unreal and unity.

A nuclear reactor is generally treated as a high security facility. I don't know how this new reactor works but I thought it was safe to assume something like a terrorist attack on one might be bad. It's also a lot more work to in

Because large scale production is generally more scalable and efficient. And you probably don't want dozens of "microreactors" scattered across cities.

I already said the coin is known to be fair.

by sfn42 4mo ago
This is not at all how probability works. Luck is not a resource one spends. If you flip heads 500 times in a row with a fair coin, the next coin flip is still 50/50.

The thing about this is that you can choose how high level you go. For example you can just tell it to make a website for a business with a webshop and it'll just generate thousands of lines of code and you have no control over anythin

Yeah but we were kids, we didn't give a shit about any of that. Kind of still don't give a shit about any of it tbh. There's security holes in everything anyway.

My experience working with other peoples code is that they often use too many wrappers. I don't mind using some wrappers, often they're just necessary. But I'll often see components with like 4+ nested divs where half of them

This has been a debate for ever, long before LLMs. On the one hand you have people who don't care, on the other you have people who produce good code. Doesn't matter how fast you can make the wrong thing.

There's this thing called the power grid, it transports electricity across great distances. And everything you're talking about is an issue with any kind of production, I don't know why you're bringing it up as if it&#x2

Across a large enough area it's always sunny somewhere. And clouds don't interfere as much as you'd think. Add in wind, hydro, nuclear and some gas and you can handle pretty much anything just fine.
