find a copy of the standard. A version of it is floating online. The latest version just added some clarifications, but is not needed. I built an implementation out of that, though the error correction part, of course, I had to learn somewh

This describes rsa. Which you should not be using anymore. It's slow and has huge keys. The current reccommendation is to use ed25519, which doesn't work quite like this.

Well what if they were intelligent and could actually really understand the data and its schema before deciding whether to allow or reject the request... wait... that's just the application itself.

having something explained to me has never helped me retain the information. That only happens if i spend the time actually figuring out stuff myself.

even then, the llm cannot possibly be a standalone os. For one thing, it cannot execute loops. So even something as simple as enumerating hardware at startup is impossible.

actually, studies seem to show it makes code worse. Just like llms can confidently spout junk, devs using llms confidently check in more bugs.

at the time I wrote the comment, the only description was "OpenVMM is a new VMM for Windows and Linux, written in Rust." without even specifying what VMM referred to.

it's written in rust is the only thing worth mentioning about it? congratulations on writing a thing that does something, i guess

if you don't like it. And people are also telling you they don't like it, then why do you insist on having it be an acronym?

He's not arguing for deprecating it. He's arguing for just not complying and hoping for the best. He explicitly says so right in the article. That is never the right approach. You intentionally introduce a problem you expect oth

i also care about usability of the dependencies for myself, the dev. If the dependency doesn't provide type information, I can miss bugs in my own code.

except in the real world, seat belts are mandatory. Because not wearing them is always a net negative. giving me some confidence is completely useless on a large scale, especially because the type system could literally be lying even when i

another way to accomplish this, and also eliminate any and all possibilities of human error, is to make the type checker part of the language. You're still doing the same thing, just with extra steps and implicit rules

which is the right approach, imo. The authors of a package are also responsible for which dependencies they depend on.

the aiification of products to me sounds like being made both less reliable and less predictable. Not a good thing

we added a lot of parameters. We added a LOT of data. The resulting models have become only slightly better. And they still have all of their old problems. I think this is proof that scaling doesn't work. It's not like we

the lsp will complain about i~. The language happily does it anyway.

a type system is useless if you have no guarantees whether it will be used by any code you use. And if any code that declares types can violate them at will. Optional is equivalent to no type system at all, in my opinion.

not entirely related, but at the bottom: "Now that you’re here: Bugsink is a self-hosted, open-source alternative to services like Sentry. It’s built to be easy to use and easy to self-host." That tells me absolutely nothing about

And here I was just finishing reading an unrelated article about neurobollocks, which mentions, among other things, that anyone making a blanket statement about "neuroplasticity" is probably bullshitting. Because neuroplasticity i

How about having a "binary operator" codepoint, that is then specialized by a following combining character codepoint. That way it's also intrinsically obvious that the thing is a binary operator at first glance. Even more ex
