I wonder whether the blast radius of the law might interfere with OSs running on cloud machines. That might explain why California based companies in the cloud business might want to ensure that the bits they resell are compliant.

To elaborate on @jeswin's point above (IDK why it got downvoted)... a data structure is basically like a cache for the processing algorithm. The business logic and algorithm needs will dictate what details can be computed on-the-fly

Bad analogy. The things I delegate to a calculator, I'm absolutely sure I understand well (and could debug if need be). These are also very legible skills that are easy to remind myself by re-reading the recipe -- so I'm not t

Ugh, this almost feels like flame-bait. This question invariably leads to a lot of bike-shedding around comments from people who feel strongly about some choices in the Julia language (1-based indexing and what not), and the fact that Julia

I imagine the actor model implemented on top of a stable core (eg. Erlang/Elixir on BEAM) might be a natural fit for a "society of mind" like zoo of agents bustling around, working asynchronously, communicating with each ot

Google Chat is definitely a product that could use more love, but it is situated in a specific internal landscape, and grows out of it. Slack is built for a very different context, and I doubt Google would build something like that. Google

Topics are otherwise incredibly useful even with a small number of people, if you want to carry out parallel & wide-ranging conversations on different timescales. Implicitly designing for a single topic per channel forces chats to be ep

The early printing press was probably focused on short few page documents (an increasing scale), and it wouldn't be surprising if page numbers were a solution to help printers not mix up pages.

Even with autoformatters, it's a choice of what criteria you pick. It's possible to have consistency without enforcing low information density.

If you thought a human working on something will benefit from being "agile" (building fast, shipping quickly, iterating, getting feedback, improving), why should it be any different from AI models? Implicit in your claim are speci

Code search over all of Gitlab (even if available) wouldn't help much when many of the interesting repos might be on Github. To be truly useful, it would need to index repos across many different forges. But there's a tension in p

Interesting question. I don't know much about WebGPU, but I'd posit (heh!) that the GPU on the client devices doesn't matter too much since folks will likely be working over the network anyways (cloud-based IDE, coding agent
