We already have exceptionally high level languages, like Inform7 [0]. The concept doesn't work all that well. Terseness is a value. Its why we end up with so many symbol-heavy languages. Yes, there are tradeoffs, but that is the whole

Taking Anthropic reporting on Anthropic, at face value, is not something you should really do. In this case, a five stage pipeline, built on demo environments and code that were already in the training data, was successful. I see more red f

ECB is mostly COBOL and Fortran. The interfaces are Java, but not the backend.

Formatting isn't just visual, in pre-79 COBOL or Fortran. It's syntax. Its a compile failure, or worse, it cuts the line and can sometimes successfully compile into something else. Thats not just an undocumented quirk, but a funda

There's a whole heap of approaches, each with their own tradeoffs. But most of them aren't trivial, no. And most end up behaving erratically with invalid json. You can buffer data, or yield as it becomes available before discardin

Can that be used as precedent to bind the AI companies that see themselves getting blocked, and then just switch to residential IPs?

Well, as Apple has basically abandoned CUPS, and not everyone uses the OpenPrinting fork, things in that space are getting "fun".

3-5 years for a cheap laptop [0]. 3-5 years of office use for a Pi. [1] Sure, there's other numbers to find as well, but I'd suggest that they're pretty comparable in the way they handle environments. If one would fail, so wo

I don't think Canada has a minimum age - just an educational requirement. If you've completed year 11 early, it looks like you'd be fine.

ARIA and the web group define title to be used. [0][1] It's just that many agents just don't use it correctly. JAWS and NVDA do. Microsoft Speech used to ignore it, but I think they fixed that around Windows 11 release. I'm n

JAWS user, here. It will read both aria-label and title, on a button, which is an interactive element. [0] It does depend on the verbosity, if you dial that down, you'll probably lose the title element. But for images, which is what I

I don't recall where, but I've heard that before in the past. Perhaps in the kind of slop that makes the rounds on LinkedIn. There is sort of a good reason for it, in the past. Before the overhaul, Microsoft Speech used to skip Fa

I don't need the text of the page. Thats easy, and I already have it. But information has a hierarchy, usually visual, and that hierarchy needs to be reflected. LLMs are famously bad at structure, especially any tree with significant d

Whispir is a much better TTS than almost anything else. However, when it gets it wrong, oh boy does it get it wrong. For everything else? Not really. JS thrashing the DOM is as much a pain as ever. Using ico files instead of either emoji or

With your president actively threatening our sovereignty, because the PBS is an effective market leveller, I do not think I would rather be in the US. Our healthcare actually works, as opposed to being a tool to kill the poor.

If the code executed is deterministic - then so is the output. If your output is in any way nondeterministic, then so is the code executed. Fin. No nuance to mathematically be had. Randomness is nothing new. Various algorithms have always b

by shakna 10mo ago
If you mix deterministic and nondeterministic, then the result is nondeterministic. Which means your entire pipeline is tainted. If your process is fine with that, whatever, but don't pretend that the result can be controlled.

Isn't sizeof only standardised in C89? Wouldn't shock me if this form needs to be an rvalue. The author did try pointer arithmetic: > I initially attempted a fix using pointer arithmetic, but the 1973 C compiler didn’t like it,

Most of the filming was in New South Wales, but it was intended to do some in the NT originally. Until they realised what the red dust does to all equipment. Cameras, cars, anything. Might be a reference to that.

The update listed in the article contains two UEFI patches, intended for "handheld devices". It would be entirely unsurprising to me if this trashed UEFI for this particular ARM device, from firmware corruption.

If you experience gender dysmorphia, being forced to adopt the norms of the disconnected gender is far more psychologically damaging than exploration of something else. Cognitive restructuring, aka adopting a new norm, is the DSM recommenda
