Sure, but it would also make it much more expensive than a supersonic flight…

This effect would help mitigate the noise heard by people outside of the plane (but I suspect that noise is negligible compared to the sonic boom), but in the plane the sound would mostly be propagated though the fuselage of the plane, not

That may ne useful for bootstrapping but there's no way a self-made compiler can be competitive with LLVM. Optimizing compilers are crazy beasts.

Fixed, thanks. I had noticed something was off when proofreading but I didn't know this symbol and I couldn't explain what I did wrong so I assumed it must have been a graphics glitch. TIL about the “care of” symbol: https:/

Rust and Zig both use the same optimizing compiler (LLVM) so assuming the vibe coded port didn't introduce performance pitfalls and kept the algorithms the same, the end result should be in the single digit performance difference with

It's funny, because even though he got the math right, PG got the reasoning completely wrong. > Each 1% of wealth tax is equivalent to 20% of income tax. Yes, this is the right part. Taxing wealth at 1% is equivalent to taxing incom

In that context specifically, why would you trust him not to lie? He's using a massive number for Opus to make Grok look good “for its size”. If he said something praising Anthropic and like “Grok is 7T, while Opus is better while bein
