Runs nicely on my M4 Max Mac Studio - which, going by the PassMark numbers, is about the same speed as an iPhone 17. Testament, I think, to how well this site is optimised for the sort of underpowered device, hopelessly inadequate for moder

This doesn't apply here - I don't think? The article claims X; so it is surely no sin for the post rebutting it to straight up state that X is, in fact, not the case. The LLM tic, by contrast, has a noticeable tendency to be deplo

The linked community survey suggests that a plurality of votes were in favour, which would explain it: https://discourse.rocq-prover.org/t/coq-community-survey-202...

I assume the thinking is that there's a non-zero chance that the first input event will pop up some kind of user selection thingy. And that it's mildly cleaner to have this happen in response to a prompt such as PRESS <NAME OF

On first use of the controller after a reboot, you're prompted to select which user is playing. Saved games and achievements and whatnot are per-user. If you've got a child in the household, you're expected to tag their user

Feedback regarding the ins and outs of the UX would be better directed at Sony rather than me. But it accommodates the case where you haven't connected the controller yet. I can't remember if it's Playstation or Xbox that doe

The Press Any Button screen is there so the game knows which input device is being used, and therefore (one way or another) which user, so it can apply any parental control/accessibility/etc. options required.

It's self-imposed, I think? curl connects to the same aphyr.com in both cases, but when connecting from the UK it receives a different response body. Probably sensible I expect, if you just want things to work, legally speaking.

I think the point is that we are given no real idea at all, not even some ballpark figures, about how much actual money actually needs to be spent in order to run Gas Town. The original article had some handwavy stuff about how it cost An A

I don't use LLMs and I never use agentic coding. And I too am interested in an answer to this question.

50-60 years is far from arbitrary: it's very roughly two generations (plus a bit of extra time, to ensure the process takes). 50-60 years gives enough time for a generation to grow up and reach adulthood who have never known anything o

Your reply would be much improved if it were just this part. > A neutral interpretation would be that "flying blind" is to "operate without perfect information". It is a simple description of operating conditions, not

It is no more insane than doing the opposite. This whole business has yet to play itself out.

On every project I've worked on, the PC I've had has been much better than the minimum PC required. Just because I'm writing code that will run nicely enough on a slow PC, that doesn't mean I need to use that same slow P

Ah, excellent! Some scientific evidence for my preferred setup: 2 x 9:16 27" monitors, one in front and one to the side. (Plus another display, of no specific kind. Laptop, landscape monitor, etc.) I sit with my eyes about 1 metre from

Well, I appear to be the only person that likes Nanum Gothic Coding. (Though I typically use Input Mono - not present in this site's set of fonts.) The semifinals for me with ligatures enabled were Inconsolata vs Cousine, and Nanum Got

Yeah. I don't get it. If you've got a 3840x2160 display, intended use on macOS as a 1920x1080@2x display, what is the advantage of using a 7680x4320 buffer? Everything is drawn at twice the width and height - and then gets scaled

I have a number of AutoHotKey/Hammerspoon numpad shortcuts for arranging windows. In Visual Studio, on the suggestion of a colleague at my first job, I use Numpad + for copy, Numpad - for cut, and Numpad * for paste. (I've never m

Pro tip: pros don't copy and paste from HN titles straight into the command line. (Or... do they?? Hmm, ok, maybe I need to let this roll around in my mind.)

Another option might be that Nth pass LLM output is not as good as (N+5 months)th pass LLM output. At some point before the amount of effort involved reaches that required to do it oneself, the output will reach an acceptable quality level.

This leapt out at me as well. Given the quote "some evenings", I'd put some money on him actually doing this near enough every day. And given the man was still doing this approaching 50, I'd put a bit more money on him h

Hm, that's a good point. I totally did not think of that as a possibility. But what are the chances? I mean, it's just a cute little pit bull we're talking about here! It's not as if it's even a big dog, like a gold
