Been using Linux daily on laptops for 20 years. I haven’t ‘tinkered’ with anything for over 10 years of that. I install Debian, get my keys on it and then just clone my tools from git and run install. It’ll set it up so I have (far more) ba

Can you provide a good cheap thread example for Java vs async/await. What I find online is horrible compared to async/await but people keep talking about function colouring etc. I just cannot see what is the issue. Nor do people g

There was a bug for a while (not sure how long) when account signup with email didn't work. It was going through fine but after everything was set up, you couldn't continue without phone number and it would not activate your accou

What type of products? Can you give any examples? If you rather don't publicly (as you created an account for this), my email is in my profile.

Since the late 90s, the fastest way to make money by doing very little is selling 'internet marketing' strategies. These strategies do work if you have a large following. They mostly do not work, at all, if you do not. So if you

If robots were cheap enough, you don’t think they would remove most humans? It is a question for your opinion, not a statement. I don’t know; I hardly ever go to these kind of places, I don’t live in the US. The times I have been (in the US

Yes, we are building something that is somewhat like ILP/IFP (and other tried and tested but non scalable techniques) with the search space reduced by using modern ML language models. And indeed; the thing that works best in our system

Anything can be abused, but I don't know the history; I have heard of robber barons, but not in the context of housing and Google doesn't seem to give me more than just their own enormous mansions. It would depend on if it's

I have a friend who buys apartment complexes and houses on the company for his employees to live in; that seems not to be reasonable. In fact, it became more reasonable with wfh; now his colleagues living farther away, who he wants in the o

That’s what is a massive issue I see in the EU even if it’s underreported; too many people I know cannot work because of long covid. Some tried anyway and burnt out because of trying too hard; now they have 2 problems. Luckily most of them

Yeah same here; not catholic but, for the Netherlands, very strict Christian (I do not know the particular name in English); we were taught evolution, dinosaurs and carbon dating etc.

I cannot see much issues with realistic generated speech if the content is not AI written and high quality. There are plenty of people who are not very good at speaking but good at writing or being able to create interesting content. Low qu

This is indeed part of what I meant to see before in this thread; it is very hard to convince people, who are kind of biased already by the syntax and the 'old age' of the language, to just try it out for a while. It's the sa

Ah yes, well that would explain it then.

Just read all his letters; he was snarky because he was concerned about the state of computing. In some ways I think he was right. My father studied under him and I studied under some of his pupils: my father always said that Dijkstra was c

I wish some of these ‘big names’ would make an effort to define all the terms. Which people are not into hyping but could be part of defining what AGI is, so we can put this ‘we have it in a couple of months’ to bed? Carmack is doing an AGI

Because I am working on some new products and finally without a NDA (since a decade), I can make some noise about myself again, so I am polishing my LinkedIn, Twitter, Mastodon and website; I am getting rather a lot of recruiter noise even

I like APL (and k/j). Problem is, outside trading (and even there it's a niche), it is just not popular enough. This also because most people dismiss it as line noise / write only programming language; that's usually onl

He and 'his mob' do the same thing though? Not that one thing warrants the other, but still, you dislike it both ways I assume?

I find that one of the biggest riddles since this Twitter thing; why do so many people feel they need to protect (well... they aren't doing much but should online, so better say ; take sides) with one of the richest men in the world wh

This is by Arthur of k and shakti (k9) fame; most his code is definitely not standard practice. His c code is still very terse etc. You get used to it.

It is funny, as I noticed many times before now since chatgpt was unleashed, that many people talk to it like they would a human. I have seen many 'please', 'thank you', and here; 'Alright?', 'Ready?'
