The article mentions anyhow: > That is the reason why mature error handling libraries hide the error behind a thin pointer, approached pioneered in Rust by failure and deployed across the ecosystem…

An interesting post about a sympathetic problem, but one that could have benefitted from not being written in LinkedIn house style.

yes yes Chinese models have Chinese censorship, we don't need to belabour this point every time
comment
The post is about the conceptual underpinnings of the system, not about the specifics of the code. It would be like judging the Linux kernel by the UI running atop it: it's largely immaterial to …
comment
The choice of a pure-monolithic kernel is also interesting; I can buy that it's more secure, but having to recompile the kernel every time you change hardware sounds like it would be pretty tedio…

That's great, but you should still disclose that you're the one providing the "correct solution."

Undisclosed self-promotion.

The former is used on the website itself.

Congratulations on immediately being vindicated :/

Verification is easier than generation, especially for natural language.

No, their revised understanding is more accurate. The model has internal representations of concepts; the seahorse emoji fails because it uses those representations and stumbles: https://vg…

Servo is to a browser what Chromium Embedded Framework is to Chromium. It is the vast majority of what is necessary for a browser, but it is not a browser in itself: it renders websites, but all of th…

That can be true while still being a genuine irritant. Windows and POSIX shells are different enough that you'd never assume that a script would be compatible between them - but the same is not t…

This is also my read; JEPA is a genuinely interesting concept, but he's been hawking it for several years, and nothing has come of it in the domains in which LLMs are successful. Hoping that chan…

You don't have to expose your Immich to the outside world, which may give you a degree of peace of mind. It sits in front of shares, so you would share your albums individually, as you have there…

Immich alone may not be sufficient, but immich-public-proxy might be: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy Check out the sample gallery: https://immich-…

Well, yes, that's Claude Code. And OpenAI Codex. And Google Gemini CLI. Your average dev can just use those.

How often do you, in all seriousness, reference the transitory UI framework that was introduced two decades ago and deprecated over a decade ago? At some point, it's okay to reuse names.
comment
Excellent benchmark. May I suggest a extension: "port any pre-uv Python ML codebase to uv so that it can actually be reliably reproduced"?
comment
Does Rust not meet that description?
comment
I would safely bet that the pool of C developers willing to work on a C Git going forward is much closer to exhaustion than the pool of Rust developers willing to work on a Rust(-ish) Git.
comment
Hmm, I think I'd want that to be a toggle, not a hold; it seems like it would be difficult to type a longer search keyword/phrase while holding down a key.
