This sounds similar (The same concept?) to Gell-Mann amnesia; substitute news/media articles for LLMs!

I learned of the Triune Brain through Carl Sagan's book The Dragons of Eden . It was an engaging, story-telling approach to a somewhat, in hindsight controversial concept. It sounds (oversimplified) like the paper the article describe

No. Still heavy as hell. (AKA uses loads of ram and CPU, slow, sometimes unresponsive). It is the price we pay - the tradeoff is IMO the unmatched editing and introspection/refactoring capabilities. I'm surprised there hasn't

I've lost faith in their editor and GPUI - you were the one, Zed! They are full-steam AI on things like this. I expected this article to be about a general alternative to git, but it is about LLM-focused coding in a way that doesn&#x27

Holy shit, I don't know how I missed that. Ty! I must have been only looking at the bare parts docs and not the DK.

This one slapped! Note: I had very good luck with DosBox on a pile of games from that era and older lately. (Edutainment mainly). I didn't try this one though. Now I want to...

I should try that lib! (Same one mentioned in the article?) I should also give layout/routing a try. My thought was, schematic design, from the perspective of what LLMs are good at, seems like the much more appropriate/easy tasks,

It's an Atmosic Atm3430e, which includes RF energy harvesting. So, I'm using 3 power sources depending on the application: Coin cell, USB, and RF, with a 1v8 net for sensors. Its power pin routing has some particulars that are poo

Hey - I ordered a board yesterday. I used Opus 5, Astra, and Sol at points to QC the board, and offer power routing advice. (The MCU is a brand new one, and poorly documented unless they send you an NDA and the full docs). Those models were

I will give you an outsider's perspective on an analogy in this case. It is easy to see Candle as a ML crate to use for neural networks in rust. I have used it, and it works well. The analogy is Tensorflow 5-10 years ago. It is popular

I'm looking forward to trying these when they stabilize! I currently use WGPU for graphics, and cudarc for CUDA. Note: Cuda-oxide is similar to Cudarc's host component, but uses a rust-style kernel dialect. Advantage: Share struct

AoE2. Whether you can label that non-competitive is questionable, however.

> You think you do, but you don't. Nailed it. People want patched versions of the same RTS. AoE4 came out a few years ago as an IMO fantastic RTS which smoothed over many of the idiosyncrasies of AoE2. From a multiplayer perspective

Great insight. My (much less sophisticated) mental model is: 1: I don't know how to get things to auto-vectorize nor evaluate if they did. [I should learn]; I assume they do not. Manual SIMD it is! [I have a lib for floats and vectors

I'm researching biological synthesis of oligos and small molecules. This will likely require modified proteins, so I'm setting up pipeline of some of the most common software in this area. (They vary in ease of install) I've

This is at the core of the matter for me, and my knowledge is too weak to understand why this is the case. I don't enjoy the idea of relying on Nvidia's stack for GPU compute, but the alternatives I've tried (e.g. Vulkan comp

It won't work in those cases. Do you have explicit examples? I suspect this won't come up much as Rust has, IME, much broader target support. (Including platforms without a GPOS)

by the__alchemist 13d ago
You can do that too. I generally prefer rust as it's a nice lang to work with.

> arduino/bb or an equivalent sbc This is perhaps more of a Maker perspective. I think the article author's approach (What you might classify as embedded engineer) is more suitable broadly. These are categorizations without a

This is a nice party trick! I use it to provide easy installation of software that is written in rust, but is primarily used by Python users. (e.g.: Biology tools) They can do `pip install <name>`, since some people prefer this over d

Sol High-Xhigh, and Opus 5. Granted, yesterday I threw a few tasks to Astra which the former 2 botches; it produced clean, correct solutions quickly, so pending further eval, this may take over. IMO unless it's a mechanical tasks, it&#
