It needs to read more than one value. Otherwise blurring cannot happen. That's automatically more work. And also, considering the effect being physics based, even in your example, were it correct, calculating what n and m are is not tr

And yet, the human brain is still (way way wayyyyyyyyy) more capable than the LLMs at the actual thinking. They're as wide as an ocean and as shallow as a puddle in a pothole. And we didn't need to read all of the internet to do i

There is no way to abuse it "too much". In fact there is no way to abuse it at all. "Sideloading software" means "installing software on my own damn machine". You can't abuse installing software on your ow

There's a big difference between giving you correct information about the wrong thing, vs giving you incorrect information about the right thing. A librarian might bring you the wrong book, that's the former. An LLM does the latte

7 bits was chosen to reduce transmission costs, not storage costs, because you send 12.5% less data. Also, because computers usually worked on 8-bit bytes, the 8th bit could be used as a parity bit, where extra reliability was needed.

That only works if the project is constantly maintained. Otherwise it can and will break in time.

In a lot of cases, code is debt because modern platforms don't give a crap about backwards compatibility. There is no reason some simple apps cannot just be "finished". The only reason they need constant maintenance is that t

Scams have absolutely nothing to do with anything relevant. Scams happen regardless of whether software is installed in the first place. Social engineering is what most scams are based on. Refusing me banking access because I want to use my

That gets you about 1 bit of extra precision every time you quadruple the number of parallel machines. (or rerun the computation 4x)

Because they haven't actually factored any other smaller number yet. If your program has a compilation process that requires you to already know the answer to the problem you're trying to solve, then what they did was not factor

Revolut does have a web interface, with some limited functionality. It's still useless to me because I need the phone to authorize it the first time.

Neovim already supports LSP servers. The fact that a language server exists for anything, doesn't make neovim (or any other editor) "support" the technology. It doesn't, what it does support is LSP, and it doesn't a

The so-called "guardrails" used for LLM are very close to expert systems, imo. Since the landscape of potentially malicious inputs in plain english is practically infinite, without any particular enforced structure for the queries

Good thing this isn't a library designed for the web then! What's your point here? SDL (this project seems to be a subset of it, in terms of functionality) also uses a polling loop, and it's one of the most popular libraries

Where's the GUI part? This seems like a more limited SDL. There is literally zero GUI code in there, unless you count manually drawing individual pixels a GUI. The shape drawing example (NOT part of the library) shows code using the li
