Wow, what on earth? That second link is not a good showing. I assume there must have been some out-of-GitHub interaction to provoke that kind of response.

The less Python in the stack, the better!

I wouldn't go as far as to say that llama.cpp is "well designed" (there be demons there), but I otherwise agree with the sentiment.

Inhabiting a foreign cultural context can provide information that factual lessons may struggle to convey to the same degree. Of course, there's a limit to this - especially with regards to histo…

Those are worse due to economic and cultural reasons, not technological reasons. The technology itself will only get better. (Also, implying that music has gotten worse is a boomer-ass take. It might …

As far as we know, it was "just" scale on depth (model capability) and breadth (multiple agents working at the same time).

Microblogs are 200-500 characters, so I was expecting a nanoblog to me to be an order of magnitude less than that :sweat_smile:

Once it has been proven to be possible, other companies [1][2][3] can and will reproduce it, and will attempt to push the frontier. As far as we know, there's no bottleneck that's stalling d…

Sweden/Europe, same

You don't need to use the same model/system for every task. "AI" isn't a monolith; there's a spectrum of solutions for a spectrum of problems, and figuring out what'…

You probably can't replace a seasoned COBOL programmer with a seasoned Haskell programmer. Does that mean that either person is bad at programming as a whole?

Translated a vague natural language query ("cli, extract frame 13s into video") into something immediately actionable with specific examples and explanations, surfacing information that I wo…

Thank you, Hallon - I've been on the same plan for the last four years and I don't think I've ever checked my data quota :)

Huh?

that is a joke comment

If you're willing to take a loss like that, you should spend your time programming for yourself, not willingly making yourself a victim of exploitation.

I would like to believe this, but in practice, the context switch involves purging my mental working state, which drags me out of the flow state. I'm not sure how to solve this, but I imagine tha…

Personally, I do; my only interactions with Python are unwilling (work or AI-related code). Given that I don't have much of a choice in the matter, I'd like to see Python improve as a langua…

This seems like a microcosm of the general design problems that pervade Python. It is a fundamentally quirky language.

You're not the only one who wishes Go was just a bit more like Rust: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo Sadly, that project seems to be dead, but I hope someone picks up it…

What's the joke?

awesome, now I can have Mecha-Hitler delivered directly to my terminal

Worth noting that Cursor is a VS Code fork and you can copy all of your settings over to it. Not saying that you have to, of course, but that it's perhaps not as different as you might be imagini…

Aside from the people it's killed: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article310829260.html (I love high-speed rail; I enjoy it in Europe. I think Brightline's…

Yes, they're uncompressed. For reference, `enwiki-20250620-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2` is 25,176,364,573 bytes; you could get that lower with better compression. You can do partial reads …

Being wrong in the other direction doesn't mean you've found a great balance, it just means you've found a new way to be wrong.

This is a new model. Those tests were with what's currently publicly available.
