It's a good way to do it! The less obvious it is that there is a remaining check hidden, the better. Some games would become impossible to win, but only halfway through or worse. Sometimes with multiple layers hidden in different place

Yes, however if that were a problem in the scenario above, I'm pretty sure LLMs could fix that as well. They're already very good at translation today, it stands to reason that they could do the needful when it comes to turning re

If constituent parts of bound states like atoms don't really exist as separate things, how come electrons in metals can move around readily? Is it that they're not really bound, or is it just that they 'attach' and &#x27

Of course _real programmers_ write forged microcode to define just the machine code instructions they need, and they flash the ucode update live in prod to deploy their app. But if you're weak willed and need some hand holding, the off

Assuming the post is irony, is this what you'd call a false flag? :)

Multimodal models are also a red hot area. The interesting thing might be to combine specialized instances of LLMs and other models together, where each runs a specific subtask or event processing loop. I think it'd be fun to use visio

Someone on /r/rust is currently marveling that it spit out a working bitmap allocator: https://reddit.com/r/rust/comments/zgkuq6/ ChatGPT is sensitive to how you prompt it, and it's design

So far! Prompt an LLM with agentic instructions, let it run in a loop with inputs and a command prompt. ChatGPT still might not be agentic by a skeptic's definition, even letting it run an independent loop with a data feed from its env

Those don't have agency. You can't give a voice cloner or a GAN a zsh terminal and tell it to run commands, send messages to real humans, or tell it to make money and see what ideas it comes up with. At this rate, a few days from

The translation is reasonable. It loses a bit of the academic feeling ("preliminary observations suggest" replaced by a plain "it seems"), but I'm sure it could complexify it in French too if you insisted.

I think showing empathy is good and important. Responding to accusations on a public forum is understandably stressful, I could understand how it's hard to stay entirely placid in that situation. And I strongly agree on inflammatory co

I believe that's the intended effect. Sheer volume of misdirection, vague answers, and thinly veiled threats leaves people tired. Anyone might reasonably not have the energy to keep picking apart the nonsense from long evasive answers.

It's possible to tell people new information with or without misjudging their capacity to follow, and with or without being boring. All those combinations happen out there. Just like a book or a movie, your audience has to be able to n

Moves in C++ don't make the whole object invalid, it just leaves them in a valid but unspecified state, so that at least the destructor can still run. This means calling operator bool on your unique_ptr ought to be fine, because the un

Here's a pretty good blog post that discusses how the memory models could interact: https://paulmck.livejournal.com/65341.html My understanding is that it might not be entirely settled yet, and is still being discussed

Depends on what kind of problems you you find interesting, but since it's so close to the metal, and since people want their kernel to be fast, there tends to be a lot of clever algorithms, intricate locking, architecture-specific cons

If I'm writing my own out of tree Rust module (for the sole purpose of fun), I wonder how hard it would be to bring in external no-std crates? Rust as a language feels unusually high level for something running in kernelspace, although

Thanks for explaining, it sounds like you have a lot of big ideas and an interest in many different fields, which is cool. Something worries me though. I've seen before a pattern that happens, when people have big ideas and see a lot o
