There's actually a much better issue somewhere, where they show a computer writing code. I remember it because I was sorely disappointed that they didn't deliver.

I found one the other day in the area of finance. The Chinese researchers claimed to have discovered a small tweak to a long established indicator which they described as giving a remarkable increase in r-squared value across a cross sectio

Don't forget the ability to fine tune based on one's own data sources. For me, this is more important than any of the six reasons you mentioned.

We were in the market last year for a new car. After test driving a few with touch screens, we decided to instead go for a barely driven 10 year old model. No touch screens and far fewer digital parts and connections which well eventually b

Hmm, very interesting. It sounds like with a bit of wrapper code, futexes could be used instead of mutexes? If they are genuinely faster, there are many use cases where this would be valuable. Is there a production-ready library for this? I

Yes, Google has said this. The use of telemetry from Google Chrome has factored into SERPs as far back as 2010 (perhaps farther but that's when I became aware of it).

My secret weapon is a "to do" list in notepad. One list which has everything. No apps, no workflow, no SaaS fees. Works better than anything else I've tried.

Wish I could read it but the constant popups on mobile drove me away. I would have expected better from this website.

Basically, lots of if...else statements combined with coroutines. Refactoring out as many big blocks of code helps a bit, but there's always yet another exception lurking in the shadows, waiting to show up at the least opportune time (

That is precisely what I'm doing now and it's the best solution I've found so far. However it is brittle and it takes quite a long time to iron out the edge cases where things can happen that you didn't anticipate. I hav

I've looked into HSMs and I don't think they are intended to handle this scenario due to the needed to be in multiple states at once. For instance, you partially fill one trade. This spawns a process which must then enter an offse

State machines are a good solution when you have a typical transactional business process (order fulfillment, inventory management, etc). But I rarely see mention of messier problems which consist of overlapping and perhaps hierarchical sta

100% agreed with this comment. We kind of got lumped into the VPN segment back in the day, despite being a hardware product. The cutthroat nature of the existing media agreements (NordVPN and Express VPN mainly) along with the sky high CPMs

Exactly. I used to dread the 20+ times a day I would have to go to Stack Overflow and wade through a mountain of horse shit in the hopes of finding an answer. Now I can clearly describe the problem as a programmer would and ChatGPT frequent

Same here. It's like a well rounded but very junior level coding assistant that produces a probably flawed bit decent first pass in seconds instead of a week. As a very senior programmer, it's the first technology in a long time t

Ok, this looks pretty slick! I'll try it out next week as I have a few seg faults I need to figure out.

I did something similar, so there you go... now you have three "random" anecdotes.

Ugh, I completely disagree with this. The government should NOT be handing out money to anyone. I also believe that they should be spending far, far less on public programs (though I do think that public healthcare is worthy of consideratio

SEO was a big thing in 2002. I built a nice business using it.

No support for jetbrains? Having a chat plugin directly in the IDE would save me a crazy amount of time.

I think if you integrated with Llama, this repo would be wildly popular. I downloaded the weights over the weekend and decided I didn't want to spend my free time working on an acceptable UI.

Don't get me started on Experian. Their core service is providing credit scores to lenders. Years ago, I went through a rigorous process to clean up my credit, something which took months but was at least honest on their part. Then the

I happen to have a couple of 16 core Xeons available with 128GB RAM and a decent high end Radeon GPU. Could I run a decent text transform model on this?

IPv6... Can it just go away already? Adoption has been declining for years. Many devices don't support it. Many services seemingly support it but break in strange ways. And not to mention it's a subtle and yet powerful privacy att
