This is interesting because, to me, programing is a deeply visual activity. It feels like wandering around in a world of forms until I find the structures I need and actually writing out the code is mostly a formality.

Yes, they could see chemical reactions happening around them all the time, they just didn't understand what what they were looking at.

It's possible for the majority opinion to be wrong and contradict hard facts that are grounded in reality. For a couple thousand of years the opinion was that the universe was composed of 4-5 elements (earth, water, air, fire, and may

The issue you're gesturing at is that "left" positions tend to be in touch with reality and coherent with each other. Whereas conservative positions tend to be out of touch with reality and often contradict each other. This

TEEs, as they're marketed, requires a true black box. True black boxes do not exist, as a property of the rules of our universe. You can ALWAYS break them, it's just a matter of cost, even assuming they're perfectly design

Which is why there's so much effort to build RAG workflows so that you can progressively add to the pool of information that the chatbot has access to, beyond what's baked into the underlying model(s).

It's not comparable, comptime is more of an alternative to macros. You can build complex systems with it, but they don't natively give you the algebraic reasoning abilities that the typechecker does, at best you'd have to re

There are doubly-linked list libraries in Rust. They are safe and well-designed. It's rare for a project to actually need a doubly-linked list. When you need it, you should use those instead of reimplementing your own.

I haven't experienced this. Rust's build system allows you to automate most of the pain in building/bundling those dependencies, so it's just up to the builder to have the right headers (if they're not bundled). T

Can you share a link to your repo? I am curious to understand the architecture here, and what the prompts you're using are like that enable GPT-5 to have that kind of emergent behavior.

Intellectual property as a concept wasn't designed for the age of LLM. You have to add a bunch of exceptions to copyright (fair use, first sale) to get it to not immediately lead to scenarios that don't make any intuitive sense

The rule of thumb is "about a 100000x slowdown". With Moore's law of 2 years that means it would operate at speeds of computers from about 40 years ago. Although really that's still making it seem like it's fast

The actual space is a lot smaller than it looks. Many amino acids have multiple codons that encode for them. You can also exclude cases where you have repeating stop codons (which detatch the RNA from the ribosome). There's lots of p

Then you lose all your data. You could also install a more traditional Linux phone OS too. The point is that you should always be some supported workflow instead of the user having to go out of their way and modifying the base system.
