Not necessarily. People will notice if it doesn’t work as well as their last iPhone.

There’s a large supply chain that AI is dependent on that requires humans to function. Bees might be a better analogy since they produce something that humans can use.

The nature of this PR looks like it’s very LLM-friendly - it’s essentially translating existing code into SIMD. LLMs seem to do well at any kind of mapping / translating task, but they seem to have a harder time when you give them eith

No. Simple means being willing to make hard choices and say “no” when something’s inclusion doesn’t warrant the cognitive overhead it adds. Or effectively designing so that complexity is only exposed if you really need it.

I added the Lua scripting layer to FS2Open. It’s very useful for not-quite-coders. There are a lot of projects where the founders end up doing everything because the other contributors don’t stick around permanently.

It depends. Is it truly common functionality that, if improved upon, should apply to all dependent code? Or is it just getting from point A to point B that happens to be the same in two places right this instant?

I don’t see the yearly releases as saying you have to upgrade. Rather, having a consistent cadence makes it easier for the supply chain, and the short iteration time means there’s less pressure to rush something in half-baked or delay a rel

Worked on a relevant project for Meta. There’s a lot of overhead as soon as you involve a filesystem rather than a block device, even on a dedicated disk, particularly with btrfs. I don’t know if the same is true with MacOS and APFS; this i

What you’re doing is spreading unqualified FUD towards the work of scientists and engineers involved in bioengineering. We don’t need more ignorant opposition to STEM in the US. We already have large swathes of the population rejecting vacc

What’s great about this comment is how damn complex just fucking water is. You’ve got tap water, which can have chlorine or chloramine added to it. Yes, the water that you drink can be chlorinated. They do this because it kills off microb

Casual conversations are not about the technical aspects of food production and distribution that has been refined for thousands of years. Also, chemistry? As a subject? Incredibly pedantic. The exception is the rule for practically every

What I would imagine happens is that some food producer realizes that a lot of their product is going to waste and they have intermittent reports of food poisoning. So they add salt to be able to continue selling the same volume of product.

Everything we eat is “chemicals” that is broken down chemically to be turned into energy (edit: and structural purposes). Sure in like-minded folks, chemicals may be understood to mean artificial sweeteners, pesticides, GMOs, HFCS, etc. but

I have tried to use it for C++, iOS, Python, Flutter, Docker, MacOS binaries, an Ubuntu container, MacOS, and NixOS. In every case it became a time sink that failed to work due to broken packages and convoluted code. Core issues are that:

No, because features get added to new versions of Python, and libraries they need to use may depend on those features. “Just don’t upgrade Python” is advice that’s only going to last a finite amount of time before introducing pain points an
