I'm stuck on "setting up this account" like most people. What a botched launch. This kind of bugginess and unreliability has become so much more frequent since big tech started tightening the screws with mass layoffs.

Clearly someone didn't make sure everything is correct, since they allowed a self-contradictory statement (whether generated by AI or by human) into the text...

But you didn't write that "Using semicolons, utilizing classic writing patterns, and common use of compare and contrast are not just examples of how they teach to write essays in high school and college; they're also all exam

That statement is honestly self-contradictory. If a draft was AI-generated and then reviewed, edited, and owned by a human contributor, then the parts which survived reviewing and editing verbatim were still AI-generated...

I don’t see how any of what you’re suggesting would have prevented this hack though (which involved an old storage account that hadn’t been used since 2020 getting hacked).

Err I meant -2^63, that’s embarrassing.

I'd actually keep it still wrapping at 2^64, with the extra metadata not participating in arithmetic operations...

by ummonk 1y ago
It would still be exposed to user code that checks its size with sizeof, but yeah the long would only have numerical values between 2^-63 and 2^63-1. And yes, there would still be some overhead for storing and propagating the metadata, and

No, it should only do arithmetic on the first 64 (or 32) bits. The extra metadata should be copied unchanged.

I wonder whether that LLM has actually lost its mind so to speak or was just attempting to emulate humans who lose their minds? Or to put it another way, if the writings of humans who have lost their minds (and dialogue of characters who ha

Does the PR description not end up in the commit history after merge? A description of what changed is very useful when browsing through git logs.

We also had the GPT-5 presentation which featured both incorrect bar charts (likely AI generated) and an incorrect explanation of lift.

Thanks for providing the data. I think that backs up my assertion that Seattle doesn't have a housing shortage as such. The relative growth in housing units since 2010 has been higher than the relative growth in population and jobs, so

I thought Seattle has started addressing the housing shortage? At some point though for a rapidly growing city you can’t really lower housing prices below the cost of building housing, and construction labor and cost of materials becomes a

I don’t think the weight is the issue — cargo cars could be built to be lightweight but you’ll still run into drag limitations based on cross section.

Decision makers are certainly quicker to opt for workforce reductions in response to tariff uncertainty / high interest rates, because they believe that LLMs can pick up the slack.

Great for much needed housing, but this will poison the well for public transit and cause NIMBYs to triple down on opposition to public transit expansion…

Fair point on the RISC-II having non-fixed instruction sizes. In any case, I think it's weird that we've experienced semantic drift to the point that architectures with instruction sets that are too large and complex to be consi

Isn’t this an obvious corollary of how model scaling works? I.e. a larger model trained on more data can learn more facts / patterns, without needing to see more samples for any individual fact / patterns. Of course, here the fact

The C standard changed its note about "permissible" undefined behavior (in C89/90) to "possible" undefined behavior (from C99 onwards). This is easily verifiable and not a myth. As to CompCert, I'm not sure if

Thumb was originally fixed length yes, but Thumb-2 introduced 32-bit encoded instructions to complete the set, so it's now variable length encoded. Likewise, RISC-V Compressed only provides compressed encodings of a subset of RISC-V in
