Check EndBOX - NetBSD running on RPi and booting into a version of BASIC. You can probably strip the BASIC part or get inspiration of how to run NetBSD on a Pi. You can find more information at https…

I read your initial message, now edited, as this is THE reason. Of course it can be one of the reasons for which the author chose Python. Also the vibe coding part gave me the impression that you we…

Because you get first class support in many AI libraries like PyTorch, TensorFlow and so on ... Most of these libraries can be used from other programming languages too, but it is easier to find good …

Is there any way to see what the manual contains ? It would be great to have a programming tutorial like the original.

FreeBSD or OpenBSD

Fun or not fun it is a personal perspective. What I was saying was that when you write code you also think deeply about what you actually write and you have the opportunity to optimize, change ideas a…

It is never just inputing text into an editor. When I write a piece of code, it is just the first draft of what I have in mind. Most of the time I change the code interactively until I'm satisfie…

This is getting ridiculous - you are now supposed to use Copilot to reduce your stress after losing your job? Some people are really disconnected from real life. He even suggests the proper way to pra…

I'm not an LLM enthusiast, but I can think of at least one example where these are useful to the many: decent/fast translation from one language to another. It won't be perfect, but it …

Probably because 18/46 was more than enough to completely discredit the book and author. Investing more time into this obvious AI generated slop would just be a waste of time.

AI work is the same kind of thing as an AI girlfriend, because work is not only for the creation of value (although that's an essential part of it), but also for the exercise of human age…

6502 is an 8-bit CPU. Writing an emulator for it would be cool though.

One old trick that helps a bit with understanding, is to not copy paste what the AI suggested, but rather to manually copy the code suggested the way you would do it with a physical book.

I will certainly do my best not to be on the West’s side, and I can say the same thing about lots of fellow Romanian men of military age Are you suggesting that Romania should bend the knee …

AFAIK, Clang (like GCC) needs an extra step to compile the standard modules files. It does not work, as one would reasonably expect, with something like: clang++ -std=c++23 fname.cpp (I know …
