   I don't want to commit to a language/ecosystem that might pivot and not open-source.

   Definitely disagree, especially not the case for function arguments. Having no types in the arguments makes an api incredibly hard to use.

   Their response to why it's faster to move while closed source seems kinda like a false dichotomy. They can choose to start with it open disallow input from the community or close their issue tracker to the community.

   Choosing how to prompt the ai is a pretty essential part of ai prompting. "I crafted queries all day, feeling a sense of urgency and anticipation, determined to “guide” intelligence — to nurture intellect in the act of thinking. Abov

   "AI" is never going to be as effective at it as "me + AI". That's what people said about chess ai.

   I mean it's not really on them, they're in the business of selling cards that happen to be usable for crypto mining, they even had an effort to stop it with lhr models.

   Yeah, i think one potential way to use blackbox ai in newer systems is having guardrails that are validated as safe (but perhaps non-optimal) and ensuring that the ai takes action within that sample space. Obviously this is hard problem, bu

   Glorifying founders has always been stupid, they're all trying to get rich, not exactly a noble cause. It's not something to demonize them for either, but founder worship is kinda gross.

   Maybe the fed should open a bank for deposits that's guaranteed but provides either tbill interest or zero interest. It's pretty ridiculous for people to need to judge whether their bank is fiscally sound.

    Definitely, no one is arguing that an AI lawyer will be the near future, but I can totally see it being good enough for the vast majority of small scale lawsuits within 10-20 years.

    Anyone know if the GPUs are relatively affordable through Inception?

    Are you referencing https://github.com/hpyproject/hpy ? I do hope it takes off.

    Definitely, it gets extremely frustrating when you have runtime bugs that would've been trivially caught by a compiler.

    I've found that as I get increasingly experienced/skilled, that ratio of the problem being in my code vs compiler, framework or OS issue decreases. Not that most problems still aren't in my code, but I've increasingly ru

    Afaik Swift is pretty close to using Rc and Arc everywhere. Does swift do some more escape analysis than Rust?

    We're reaching a point where CPUs are increasingly getting more specialized, and GPUs are becoming increasingly generalized. Going at improvements from both sides of the sandwich.

    Quite tempted to make that exact upgrade myself, I'm still on a 3770k + 1070 gtx (which was an upgrade from a gtx 670). I've been holding out for a long time. Can't wait for my code to compile 10x faster and game at 10x the f

    Looks pretty great, I won't personally use it, but best of luck to the author. I've been very impressed by lapce's pace of development. Imo, open source text editors are going to fully supplant closed-source. Perhaps 10x is a

    Python is the shittiest option, but the only one for a wide variety of tasks. Everyone loves to hate it, but you gotta use it. I disagree about the documentation/syntax/std lib gripes, but everything else is a pretty reasonable is

    Imo it's fine if they can explain why and they're not discriminating against a protected class (or one that should morally be protected). Obviously this woman should get her money back, and imo they should comp her for the pain&#x

    I mean having a monadic api is nice if it's strictly enforced by both ecosystem/culture/typesystem. But with Optional being potentially a null itself, it barely improves the need to defensively program and might in fact be wo

    Cuz they espouse advice without having proven it in practice. When I say at scale, I mean they literally haven't shipped any software of note, I don't mean software that's getting hit by an arbitrary number of req/s. Why

    I find all the programming advice espoused by all these "gurus" to be very suspect. Especially since most of them seem to come from a theory vs practice POV. For example "uncle bob" delivers a lot of his advice as gospel
