I'm confused as to why this would see any improvement over time. Looking at the code, it's by default hitting the gpt 3.5-turbo API. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought I've seen statements from people working at Ope

This would infect the language ecosystem. People that use Rust are usually using it because they don't want the performance sacrifice that gc or reference counting would bring. I am convinced that one of the reasons D did not catch on

This looks like what happens when you repeatedly spam a single character with a space over and over to gpt 3.5. Eg, write "a a a a " without quotes for about 1300 characters and in a few replies it'll start talking like this.

Not necessarily. There's going to be new code in the data. There's also a form of reinforcement learning or sort of natural selection taking place where the code selected by the user can be used to train the system and favored for

The light theme is a little bit better. I usually don't have a problem with text without much contrast though, so you may want to get opinions other than mine. The main problem for me is the small text size.

Notably, the missing author from the second paper is the rogue employee who published the first paper. The order of the first two authors is the same for both papers.

Just as a general comment, the website is extremely hard to read at the default zoom, mainly due to the font size but also due to the lack of contrast on the background color and text color. The code samples in particular are very hard to r

In my experience, quitting caffeine is much harder than quitting weed. I've managed to go from daily use to no use for years with marijuana, and did not notice any withdrawal symptoms. Caffeine on the other hand I have tried numerous t

It's pretty lame to put out a one sentence implication that unions are the reason for the downfall of this 127 year-old business without, you know, any actual proof or data or argument for that being so. The only sentence in the actual

That's a good observation about C++ not making assumptions, it strikes me as true. C++ apparently doesn't even make assumptions about what the C++ filename extension is. .h, .hh, .hpp, .hxx, .C, .cc, .cpp, .cxx, .ixx, cppm

Yeah, that is never happening. About two months ago they were doing AB tests where they've disabled web browsing for some mobile users, telling them that they need to use the app. If they ever pull the trigger with that, I'm simpl

Other than people complaining that the new twitter sucks, I have noticed no difference. Why is it terrible now, and why was it good before? The checkmark thing is whatever, I never gave checkmarks any deference.

Just glancing at it, it looks cool and it's clear you've put a lot of work into the project. I will say though, as a piece of feedback, I personally wouldn't want to build on top of it due to the provenance of the assets. The

The phrasing has elements of elitism, but zooming out I don't think the idea itself is inherently elitist. One of the issues with reddit's redesign is that they made it more 'friendly' by introducing more media inline. I

I doubt that this is true on the basis of how absurd it is. Who knows though, it would fit with and continue the theme of civilization being in-part the process of mankind domesticating itself.

It's because it is fast. I write small video games, and I have performance metrics I need to hit. Other languages may be nicer to write, but if it is at the cost of performance, it is making my life harder. Up until recently, if you wa
