He's not wrong and it still marks why he probably comes across poorly and fails those interviews People in hiring positions basically want productivity. That largely means they want people who will slot into whatever problem is at hand

I get that's what you and a lot of people want it to be, but it isn't what they are. They are quite literally probabilistic text generation engines. Let's emphasise that: the output is produced randomly by sampling from distr

i think you are misconceiving then how LLMs work / what they are You can certainly try to hit a nail with a screw driver, but that doesn't make the screw driver a hammer.

Gradle makes it incredibly fast and easy to bootstrap a simple project. Then, it's extraordinarily flexible after that in how you can use Groovy to add custom logic into how your build works. There are a lot of things I like about it.

The Gradle team seem to come from the school of developers that aggressively break backward compatibility as if it's a best practice. Cynically I always feel like it must give them a bump in consulting revenue each time, because it oft

It seems like an interesting mechanism, that the brain is somehow signalling by modifying CSF which in turn then then activates nerves. The question I have is mechanistically, how is the brain actually doing that. If CSF sits on the other s

By default, the W3C process actually requires multiple implementations before something is supposed to be standardised. So it is actually necessary that browser vendors ship vendor-specific implementations before the standards process can p

The main thing is it causes backwards compatibility problems. For example where previously you could override a class by simply putting a different library ahead of the normal element in the classpath that resolves it, with modules, Java wi

Any support for diagrams? I use PlantUML extensively and tools like Znai and others have native support for it.

This is such a paltry list for 9 version steps. It does not include things like the module system which are the biggest pain points in my experience. Honestly I would not recommend anybody migrate from 8 to 17 anyway. 8 to 11 or 8 to 21 are

It's truly incredible isn't it? And when you add in that this device is barely more than the cost of a midrange phone, it's all the more staggering. The novelty will wear off after a while, and the games that are purely based

It sounds like they are a lot bigger than I would have expected. This isn't an email you write to 5 people. Perhaps that is a sign of the problem. I worry that VRChat has worked its way into a local optimum that may be hard to get out

Read through it all, it still comes down to "trust us". Apple can sign and authorise an update at any time that will backdoor it, and the government is the stroke of a pen away from forcing them to, all completely silently. I get

in the past Apple has made the choice to gimp their functionality before sending data off-device - one of the reasons Siri has sucked so badly. This seems like a distinct change here, finally conceding that they just can't do it on dev

It's interesting to see Apple essentially throw in the towel on on-device compute. I fully expected them to announce a stupendous custom AI processor that would do state of the art LLMs entirely local. Very curious if they are seeing t

I think I was extra confused because the HN title says it searches "packages" so I assumed that was what it was doing (in a java sense, where a package is the classes inside a library).

thanks! now I understand it, it's fine, but there are definitely some UX things that could be improved to make how it's working obvious from the start.

I typed SimpleDateFormat into the search field and pressed enter and nothing happens at all. What am I doing wrong? There's no submit button if there is supposed to be. Firefox / Mac.
