It's not something that suddenly changed. "I'll generate some code" is as nondeterministic as "I'll look for a library that does it", "I'll assign John to code this feature", or "I&#x27

Same. Windows just stopped going to sleep across multiple laptops. I gave up and run "shutdown /h" when I really want to guarantee it doesn't drain the battery. MacOS in theory sleeps, but I can't get rid of the per

That's not how I read it. As in, this is an incidental comment. But the unprocessed version is the raw values from the sensors visible in the first picture, the processed are both the camera photo and his attempt at the end.

Have you got that plan reviewed by your analysts and handed over to implement by your employees? You may be missing those steps...

We could solve that by replacing all CEOs to remove the issue of finesse and charisma. LLMs can then discuss the actual proposals. (not entirely kidding) It would be actually nicely self reinforcing and resisting a change back, because now

I don't get what you mean. There are people who are great at bridging the customer-engineering gap. (Although we don't know what Tom was really like with customers) There's skill to that kind of position. Bobs were the stereo

That and having enough millions in the first place to meet with the right people and get/buy a position helps.

The vibe I get is Urbit meets browsable S3 with Kerberos on the side as the XCTBL project. It's half serious half art and uses confusing vocabulary on purpose. (I mean both Urbit and this)

Depends. If you want to implement a very fancy kernel level tracing tool for your local environment, why would it be a bad thing? Worst case you'll lock up your system and have to reboot. But you wouldn't want to use that for the

If you have your own CA, you log every certificate with the expiry details. It's easier compared to an external CA because you automatically get the full asset list as long as you care to preserve it.

> already trusted because it was downloaded over HTTPS from a trusted server (making PGP kind of redundant in some ways) That's mostly incorrect in both counts. One is that lots of mirrors are still http-only or http default https:

I love the idea, even if the implementation is basically a workaround for upstream resistance. Since it's Ruby and the goal is to be concise and pretty, I hope they will spend some extra time on inferring basic things. In the example,

It's different, but close enough to not matter a lot of the time. As in, some constructs are not allowed but they're extremely rare in practice and have simple workarounds, even if you don't preserve the exact same usage synt

Existing ecosystem. As a random example, there's AWS SDK for ruby and python, but not for crystal and mojo. And if you want good compatibility, you're not writing that one on your own. You could use an entirely different language

This is an announcement for M2.1 not M2. It got a decent bump in agent capabilities.

I've played with this a bit and it's ok. I'd place it somewhere around sonnet 4.5 level, probably below. But with this aggressive pricing you can just run 3 copies to do the same thing, choose the one that succeeded and still

It's scheduled for release. They jumped the gun with the news. But at far as we know, it's still coming out, just like M2.

Why would they not? Existing objective-c apps will still need updates and various work. Models are still trained on assembler for architectures that don't meaningfully exist today as well.

It was always an option, but "just" needed someone to dedicate all their time to it and pull in a group of long term maintainers. The real question is what will happen with the project in 2 years and will it be stable for day to d

I was responding a more to the crafted part. I see the craft and care as different things that can be done mostly independently (there will be some overlap). For example writing a full spec and tests that run against an emulator and telling

In practice we've been doing setting the threshold of what we care about for a long time already, with firmware, operating systems, libraries, etc. You can always go one level deeper if you want more. Did you want to know how readline

Storage is relatively cheap. Packages with only one release and little usage in the wild will be a rounding error in cost. A few years ago, Pypi required an over million dollars equivalent in CDN traffic per month. Storing a million of smal

There's a difference between recent frontier coding LLMs and Google doing quick-and-cheap RAG on web results. It's good to understand it before posting cheap shots like this.
