Perusing the code, the translation seems quite complex. Shout out to https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA which is also in this space and quite popular. I got Zluda to generally work with comfyui well enough.

I'm pretty sure the OP is talking about this thread. I have it top of mind because I participated and was extremely frustrated about, not just the AI slop, but how much the author claimed not to use AI when they obviously used it. You

Really? Even with your AI generated article I took my own time to read and reply sans AI and you can't even respond to my comment without it? Thanks.

> The concept is good Unfortunately, it's not. Once you read through the slop the implementation is still getting a pass/fail security response from the LLM, which the premise of OP's article is railing against.

by skipants 9mo ago
A couple small things: 1. as many have harped about, the LLM writing is so fluffed up it's borderline unreadable. Please just write in your own voice. It's more interesting and would probably be easier to grok 2. that repo is obvi

As someone who has thought about, planned, and implemented a lot of RBAC... I would never trust the security of a system with RBAC at that level. And to elaborate on that -- for RBAC to have properly defined roles for the right people and e

I often employ this pattern in Ruby using `.tap` or a `begin` block. It barely adds any functionality but it's useful for readability because of the same reasons in the OP. It helps because I've been bitten by code that did this:

I think you're 110% on the nose. Types in Ruby really depends on the use-case. I don't think your use cases fit the bill and types would be annoying if anything. I work on big Ruby on Rails monoliths and I curse every day that I d

I agree. Pointing at Github issues is a strange metric to me. If we want to use that as a canary then you shouldn't use Deno (2.4k open issues) or Bun (4.5k open issues) at all.

It's an acquihire. If Anthropic is spending significant resources, or see that they will have to, to improve Bun internally already it makes a lot of sense. No nefarious undertones required. An analogous example off the top of my head

I've already had a pre-screen coding tests judged by AI. It's unsettling. I also had a CV rejection letter with AI rejection reasons in it as well which was frustrating because none of the reasons matched my CV at all, in my opini

> no pollution, no footprint, no hazardous waste As a layman, I assume waste heat would still be an issue? Even so I would also assume it's still way less damaging to the environment than everything else.

I'm enjoying this article. One nitpick is that Black Mirror is usually dystopian in its view of technology but there has been more than 1 happy ending. The author probably only has San Junipero fresh in their mind. https://s

Doesn't feel like AI to me but maybe it's harder to spot. This paragraph reads like a human to me as I've never seen AI write something like it: > Science fiction writers used to like technology. For some reason, this has

When I was younger and more into music, when I went to a concert I would often judge if a drummer was "good" based on if they were better than me or not. I knew enough about drumming to tell how good someone was at the different p

Yes! Thank you! I’m barely knowledgable when it comes to biology and I still get annoyed when evolution is framed as cause-and-effect.

This looks great. I would love to see something like this evolve to become the industry standard. My only worry between then and now is will it run into a wall if it is unable to solve problems that build steps did? Does it handle extension

My personal opinion is that a lot of investors don't really understand these tech businesses and get spooked by what they perceive as competition. Somehow the AI hype seems to have created this idea that all the major tech companies ar

That's amazing. Now I want to see how relevant a "time to cow" metric is to Canadian cities.
