If you're sufficiently stubborn, it's certainly possible to call directly into code written in Verilog, held together with inscrutable Perl incantations. High-level languages like C certainly have their place, but the space seems

This account is low-effort spam, the LLM generated comment seems to only look at the title. They should at least feed the contents of the page to the AI if they're going to spam.

Of course, recurring payments work completely differently. A shockingly large fraction of recurring payments are from people who never got around to cancelling it. They're already getting what they want, any email just risks disturbing

You're absolutely right. That's not just a genius idea; it's a radical new paradigm.

I used to dual-boot windows, but I was too lazy to actually reboot, so naturally I had Virtualbox just boot the physical Windows partition while Linux was running. Which is totally fine! It's not a real dual boot if you don't boot

Yeah, I can agree with the variance. Except that the "too lazy to hit shift" community is not something I would ever confuse with people writing long form articles about their regex engine research that they'll be presenting

No, this is just what that writing style looks like. Names and acronyms are usually capitalized normally. I keep being surprised by the magnitude of the disconnect between this place and the other circles of hell. I'd have thought the

This does a terrible job explaining, but it seems to be in protest of age verification laws in operating systems. The only commit is removing a user birthday field.

The goal isn't to improve the AI performance using the cheat sheet, it's to produce a cheat sheet at all that efficiently distills intuition about these 22 million results. Presumably if it's written in plain text and usefu

No, sincerely calling things cringe is a millennial marker. Cringe was thrown around a lot in 2010's, but that was a decade and a half ago. Nowadays you'll hear that cringe is cringe, let people enjoy things, be cringe and be free

A bit strange to use time to first token instead of throughput. Latency to the first token is not like a web page where first paint already has useful things to show. The first token is "The ", and you'll be very happy it&#x2

I think there's a weak claim that I'm happy to make and then a much stronger one. The set of hard problems in general is vastly larger than hard problems that are considered useful to cryptographers. The latter is very much finite

You can make as many slight variations as you want by creating a specific instantiation of a hard problem with different constants. But we don't know how many meaningfully different hard problems exist. These are problems that have bee

There's that, but the market in the West was already over-saturated with HFT arbitrage. What's hot is growing markets that get a little less attention. The big Jane Street maneuver in India made a lot of noise recently. They'

A fun fact for the people who like to go on rabbit holes. There is an x86 technique called cache-as-RAM (CAR) that allows you to explicitly allocate a range of memory to be stored directly in cache, avoiding the DRAM entirely. CAR is often

Right, but AES is a primitive used in a lot of protocols, and they might need to do something different with the IV. The source of randomness is also traditionally something that people want control over, because some platforms can have ter

I don't think such a broad recommendation will be good for most people, it really depends. Optimistic updates looks great when there is no contention, and they will beat locking in a toy benchmark, but if you're not very careful t

That's why our startup created the sendfile(2) MCP server. Instead of spending $10,000 vibe-coding a codebase that can pass the SQLite test suite, the sendfile(2) MCP supercharges your LLM by streamlining the pipeline between the train

Verification is optional (and expensive), so I imagine more than one person thought of running a Sybil attack. If it's an email signup and paid in cryptocurrency, why make a single account?

I am not a native English speaker, I may be missing a cultural nuance, but I wouldn't call any of what they did love. That word enters nowhere in a sickening child abuse island.

It supports SSH. Since that's already in place, not much point in telnet, especially since NAO wants a password. And you prettu much have to go out of your way to install a telnet client these days. That's a bit like connecting to

Please stop jumping to conclusions about what diagnoses you think other people have. That is not helping.
