   I feel like I should duck and cover after saying this, but after seeing what Amazon did to Lord of the Rings and what they are supposedly trying to do to Warhammer, I'm not surprised the creative owners are extremely reluctant to hand

   Hey Abishek I really did not mean to derail the comments with my offhand observation. I actually really liked the attribution and it did not strike me as a (as I've come to learn the term) "land acknowledgement". It came acro

   Okay maybe maybe but hear me out -- it would be hilarious if this started happening often enough that the LLMs started echoing it XD. That would certainly cause some legal headaches.

   Come come now. That's the very first bullet point of the article. The article did a very good job of giving DDD its due. I don't think it's fair that the article went out of the way to define what it meant by DDD in a Steel M

   I think I learned more about what DDD is from this article than most of my books on DDD. This is the right way to do a critique -- it starts out with an excellent Steel Man understanding of DDD and proceeds from there. I guess they don&#x27

   Archaelogy of the mind is an enjoyable marathon but a marathon nonetheless. Audiobook therefore highly recommended, as well. If you get past the "seeking" system section it will probably reframe your entire view of consciousness

   I appreciate the candid response. I have noticed there is a class of very intelligent, well-educated adult learners who have nevertheless been unexposed to software education until adulthood who are now looking for a career change. I'v

    This. I love everything about this. Everything. Thank you. This is the kind of sh!t that made me get into programming in the first place. Regarding specific reading, three books I think you would love are [1] the self assembling brain, [2]

    Color me impressed. These guys get it right because they treat LLMs like what they are -- tools with a specific use, not anthropomorphized pets. (although I did groan a bit at the "AI Chief of Staff" moniker). It's extremely

    Interesting. How would you advocate actually gaining that knowledge then? It seems like a student would need to know a significant amount of coding in order to learn those abstractions in an interactive manner. And by learn them I mean lea

    That's cool. So I suppose you are using function pointers for the continuations? That's pretty wild, I hadn't even considered that!

    by upghost 2y ago

    To be fair, continuations are also the classic way to implement coroutines in languages that don't have them. Probably should've mentioned that in my original comment...

    Thanks, I will check that out. If they properly handle client disconnects I'll pull this in.

    I haven't seen a library that does that yet, including Python. Usually you just throw messages into the void. Do you know of a specific library that does that?

    Sounds like this is for a syntactic or metaprogramming transformation over source code? I assume this implies you are either working with a homoiconic language or you have already converted the source to AST? However it sounds like a very

    I'm not disagreeing with you. The three examples I mentioned were specifically about overcoming the limitations presented by some runtimes. If you have to reach for these, typically you know you are already swimming upstream. But somet

    Thanks for clarifying, that would've sent me on a long wild goose chase. Most libraries only provide some sort of channel to send messages to. They generally do not indicate any FIN or ACK received at the TCP level. If anyone knows any

    That's really interesting. This seems like it would be a really good approach to combine something like an otherwise pure finite state machine, but with state transitions that rely on communicating with external systems. Normally I em

    Interesting, hadn't checked at the TCP level. Will need to look into that.

    Oh that is really fascinating, thank you. That has some really interesting implications for dependency management that I will have to think through. It sounds like that implies some really useful tree properties on dependency checking, like

    There's no ack on a raw SSE stream, unfortunately -- unless you mean send an event and expect the client to issue an HTTP request to the server like a keepalive?

    Does anyone have a good trick for figuring out when the client side connection is closed? I just kill the connection on the server every N minutes and force the client to reconnect, but it's not exactly graceful. Secondly, on iOS mobi

    In case anyone is wondering, "when would I EVER use this (in hand-written code)?", it's a trick that makes DSL (domain specific language) and small language implementation much easier. A great reference for this is Peter Norv

    I would like to agree with you, but I doubt the honor system will work here. We are talking about companies that have blatantly trampled (or are willing to risk a judicial confrontation about trampling) copyright. It would be unreasonable

    I don't know how this is possible with LLM tests. The closed source models will get access to at least the questions when sending the questions over the fence via API. This gives closed source models an enormous advantage over open-sou
