The people writing the one-shot tools are living a pipe dream and are riding the hype wave. One-shot AI music will have a short amount of interest based on its novelty, but the very next generation of humans will revolt against it as a crin

The criticism is pretty specific: she has an axe to grind about string theory holding back fundamental physics and projects this onto all of science. One need only watch her videos to notice this. Another simple observation: her rant videos

Sabine has a chip on her shoulder about academia and simultaneously she gets the most rewarded for feeding into the anti academic narrative. That also plays well on HN where there is a cohort of people that like to pretend a PhD is useless

It might behoove the reader to remind themselves that goodhearts law is a conjecture, not a law. Similar to Poe's Law, it's an observation about something, but that doesn't make it universal, or some kind of physical, social,

The biggest problem with the USA is people look at the current state of the government and somehow don't see pre Nazi Germany. If the percentage of these sympathizers is large enough then there is no course correction that will be poss

This is what we call a strawman in the business, as I'm clearly referring to the federal government. Yet, none of your examples should be run as a business either. They should be run as nonprofits. Not many nonprofit CEO oligarchs wrea

Anyone who thinks the government should be "run like a business" does not deserve to be given an ounce of serious consideration in any sphere of intellectual discourse. A business does not get to print profit.

Comments like these make me want to vomit with how out of touch industry people are. No, fiddling with AWS or writing some simple Go code is not beyond the capabilities of a postdoc... You really are not doing anything that complicated. Swi

So: You have no measure of performance and go off vibes. You have no scientific basis and go off vibes. You pretend this is all logical and common sense but it's really all just vibes. You could end up performing way better firing half

Yes, people that say they use AI every day are embarrassing to me. I've never been able to replicate it's usefulness and have actively tried. I can only imagine at this point that they are either delusional, lying, or their job is

I doubt anything would give you a "revolutionary spirit." As such a spirit is almost necessarily violent if it's serious at all.

Claiming recursion is taught badly and then trying to teach recursion immediately via call stacks is certainly a choice. The guts of how your favorite compiler implements recursion is hardly what I would call "the correct way" to

LLMs as they are I postulate would not work well for this. But, purpose built stochastic auto complete with a type checker to reject the junk? That could be actually useful. Funnily enough it's also a domain of application that wouldn&

If I'm getting flagged it's because HN doesn't like calling spade a spade with aggressive language. Which is fine, HN is allowed to moderate itself how it sees fit. I'm not going to continue this diatribe. You clearly wh

Your entire argument boils down to your personal bias against ECS, and the one game that we tout for Bevy success uses: drum roll please. Bevy's ECS. Let's not pretend you think this is an informed decision, you think ECS is objec

Don't worry, if you believe in your AI magic so much just have it to teach you the concepts of the trade. The snark is because I think the AI hype is insanity and have lost respect for anyone who "claims" to actually use it.

I'm published in formal methods and see plenty of papers on static analysis of C. They ALL fail against a well designed type system.

Even in their own list of features "Memory Safety" does not pop up, and none of the listed features indicate to me that they would entail memory safety. Academics aren't publishing droves of work on separation logic for a pro

Mmm, my impression is you can get 90% there with significantly less effort then LLVM or GCC. A good register allocation strategy, some basic inlining, maybe peephole optimization? LLVM is fighting for 5-10% improvements on top of the big th

It would only seem funny to you if you ignore the most fundamentally important fact of humanity: Humans have much more variance than normality. Even if half the population can get by with what you're saying, there is a full other half

The own thread you linked is clear as day: cargo install is good and should continue to be used as way to install binaries _by building them_ Your objection then or thinking invoking cargo install at all is abuse is highly questionable. In

I would say your experience is your own but I am unable to judge the "usefulness" of it without specifics, and that is a subjective thing. What you might have decided is useless I might decide otherwise. What can be said for sure

It's all well and good to pretend that this is the case, but it isn't. Most jobs involve some obvious measure of progress. Especially under the umbrella of "service." Women disproportionately choose these jobs: nurses, s

Before you say things this patiently dumb you should probably wonder what question the researchers are actually interested in and why your average experience isn't sufficient proof.

you've painted yourself into a corner, how exactly are you going to define meaning? As far as we know the universe is infinite, and as such all actions fit your description anyway, so why not be infinite along with it?
