It's because the AI said it did, and nobody bothered to actually check the code. That, or they have some incentive to lie about it. I'm not sure which one of these is false (if any)

Until you actually need to use it. You need to get the data you want to transmit over to it. Where you'll either have another transmitter at your location. A cable snaking back to your location. Or a directional antenna pointed at

then how about you cut out the llm middleman and just audit the bash scripts already provided?

unlike jpeg, jpeg-xl supports lossless compression too.

by vrighter 9mo ago
yes i agree with you on it being unfeasible for most applications.

the best way to give an llm ssh access is to disconnect ethernet and put it in a faraday cage

this is awesome!

Once, for a very very critical part of our product, apart from the usual tests, I ended up writing another implementation of the thing, completely separately from the original dev, before looking at his code. We then ran them side by side a

it is depressing to me for exactly the same reason

no, writing tests to verify that the "compiled" code semantically matches the code in the source language is not a good thing. The guarantees that I'm talking about are different. You write tests for your own logic, not to do

I have such a hard time convincing people of this. I don't have astronomical ambitions because, unlike them, I am happy with my situation

maybe, just maybe, the browser is not always the best tool for the job

by vrighter 9mo ago
well that's exactly why i thought this was exciting. I thought there had been some advances on that front
404.
by vrighter 9mo ago
please point out where i said "deterministic". I said guarantees that semantics are preserved.

by vrighter 9mo ago
automated tests are not verification. The "llm as a compiler" provides zero guarantees about the code. A compiler offers absolute guarantees that what you write is semantically preserved, barring bugs in the compiler itself. An ll

Are you sure the numbers are correct? Wikipedia lists LNG as 53.6 MJ/kg and 22.2 MJ/L and jet fuel as 43MJ/kg and 35MJ/L. 53.6 / 43 = 1.247 22.2 / 35 = 0.634 Energy density by mass is higher than jet fuel. But

And a gentlemen's agreement != standard. A standard should cover every eventuality.

I thought this was going to be about logic minimization. Was severely disappointed

Even worse. It doesn't slurp up the documents folder in your home directory. If you click on documents via explorer (or a file selection dialog), or go to c:\users\myusername\documents, you will arrive at different folders.

They aren't even any more useful than turning on the lights for everyone. I personally have no other use for it. The only thing I say to it other than "turn on/off the ..." is "shut up" when it follows my comma

So that must be why I'm not affected. I have a gtx1080 which can't use that driver. Good to know.

Then the statement "Stuff can't interoperate with c++" is true. Nothing from c++ ever gets exposed. You have to explicitly write a C interface yourself, or avoid using c++ features (write C in c++) so everything looks like C

"Reasoning" in this context is just a marketing gimmick that means "run the llm in a loop". But people who don't know how they work (the people buying them for others) just take that word at face value and assume it

Tree shaking is insane to me too. Just use a language that can actually do proper DCE, if you're not building a website. (I do realize though that most "apps" are just websites without the browser toolbar, unfortunately)

My first PC (my parents splurged on a high-end machine (for the time, of course) only had 8MiB of memory and a 1 GiB HDD. It ran windows 95 and encarta just fine.

I use a keyboard called PentiKeyboard. It's a chorded keyboard. It allows you to place 6 buttons (shown in outlines) overlaid on top of the whole screen. It had 2 features I wanted to remove. If you swipe in empty space, you can use it

The statements "Rejecting the unix philosophy by being a huge monolith which does too many things", and "systemd is actually 69 different binaries, only one of which runs as pid 1" are mutually exclusive. The latter is p
