at a startup i worked on they gave everyone a ps4, but also the option to exchange it for cash

That's the one I use now. But it still feels laggy to me.

you still need to spend effort reviewing the code to figure out when you can give a strike. Thrice for an actual ban. This would still waste precious maintainer time.

why is the standard response to "this tech isn't reliable enough for this" to run its output through the same unreliable tech? The device-fixer started breaking devices instead of fixing them. Tell it to fix itself!

racing drivers train on them. So I'd say they get pretty close.

Damn it I was expecting something interesting about the ps4 controller. Not some more junk about AI. Such a rugpull

"native desktop app with web ui" Do you really see nothing wrong with this sentence?

wasm requires a browser isn't really a strong argument. Docker ships a whole operating system.... and still needs a whole operating system to run on.

i like to create enums instead of boolean. CreateUser(CreateAdmin::enable);

isn't this the stuff llms are supposed to be good at? It seems like all of these "fixes" involve conventional code, not improvements in the models themselves.

and then you click the text box to search (because it doesn't always get focus) and the start menu needs to load another webpage. Sometimes that fails, and the start menu becomes unusable for searching for applications. How the hell do

why? We already have more efficient specialized hardware.

I stand corrected. I'm one of today's lucky 10000

"Lua (or any other JIT-compiled scripting language for that matter). That's a standard choice, but it turns out that it's really hard to sandbox it." This is a sign the author didn't even try it properly. Lua is one

but probably his hand won't penetrate into the skull. Bigger contact patch.

If I give someone a piece of code, they can prove things about the code, even if it is at a higher level of abstraction. A prompt isn't an abstraction. Say you evaluate an llm completely deterministically. Fixed seed for the sampling

I didn't call anyone anything. I was just pointing out that we accept lots of things working without understanding why. Biggest example being our very selves. How you interpreted it as an ad hominem attack, I have no idea.

"whoops, we accidentally made our AI super obsessed with goblins" doesn't really sound like they (or anyone else, for that matter) is really in any form of actual control of them. Their fix seems to be to ask it not to in the

we also don't know how your (or any) really brain works. But we know it does, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to write this comment. So should we just shut your brain down?

all abstractions are leaky, but you can always rewrite them in terms of a lower level and preserve semantics 100%. It'll be more verbose, it'll look ugly, it's not convenient to work with, but that's what compilers do.

because it is not actually trying to prove anything about its outputs, setting the temperature to zero will just ensure it always makes the same mistake when "compiling" english into code. A compiler simply always preserves semant

why would we need to rewrite twitter in rust? (sorry, couldn't resist)

strictly inferior != bad. It's relative. One tool will still give the output i intended long after I'm dead and decomposed, with the other might not at the very next time i run it.

so it's called agile when it works, but not when it doesn't, got it!

galaxy s5 from 2014 also achieved all of this. It was a solved problem literally over a decade ago

the galaxy s5 had everything we are told they removed for waterproofing. removable back cover and battery, and a headphone jack

moving away from microsoft in the eu is intended to cut digital reliance on the US. The EU governments will not switch to macs ever. If they did that, they might as well stick with windows, because apple is also american and beholden to ame

haha this reminds me of what I did for my speakers. They turn themselves off after about 1 and a half hours of silence. So I added a cuckoo clock chime on the hour. Problem solved.

their VSS system is actually better than btrfs snapshots, IIRC. It allows you to take atomic snapshots of multiple volumes simultaneously. I haven't found a way to do it with btrfs yet, there's always a race condition.
