Please find something better to do with your time than registering a new alt and posting the same thing every day.

The keyboard and body are not bad at all - rather, they're best in class, and so is the rest of the hardware. It is a premium hardware experience, and has been since Jony Ive left, which is what …

Engagement from people trying to figure it out :-)

The reasons for deletion don't seem that outlandish to me. I'd rather not see them deleted, but I also don't think this outcome is that surprising, nor would I describe it as a "me…

Echoing the sentiment that I'm not really sure what I'm meant to be looking at here. A motivating example at the start would have helped, I think.

Yes and no - yes, in theory, but in practice, non-determinism can be introduced at different points along the stack. See Thinking Machines' post on LLM non-determinism: https://thinkin…

There's still not that much information on this, but the closest you'll get is the Dwarkesh-Ilya interview: https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/ilya-sutskever-2 …

Hah! I usually allocate trampolines at runtime, as the article suggests, but reserving R/W space for them within the application's memory space is a cute trick. Probably not useful for most …

You might be interested in Electric Clojure [1], although I must admit that I have not used it myself. [1]: https://github.com/hyperfiddle/electric …

Your experience is the outlier, not the norm. Most people don't work for AWS.

You lucky dog. Have fun!

You are being awfully confident about something that we cannot assess or even consistently define. They probably do not have subjective experience... but how do we know for sure ?
comment
I agree with you for the most part, but it's worth noting that those standards can expose a C API/ABI while being primarily implemented in and/or used by non-C languages. I think we…

> The right device at the right time can spur all kinds of revolutions. But can they run Half-Life 2?

Please record a video of doing such - I suspect it may take more active effort than you suspect :-)

I don't know what to tell you: that really does not read like it was written by a LLM. You were perhaps set off by the very first sentence, which sounds like it was responding to a prompt?
comment
You want https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo , but that project is dead. You might be interested in Gleam?…

Excited to for Walter to drop by and extol the virtues of fat pointers :-) For reference: https://digitalmars.com/articles/C-biggest-mistake.html …

Amanda Askell worked on it: https://x.com/AmandaAskell/status/1995610567923695633 She is responsible for many parts of Claude's personality and character, so I would as…

It's not in the system prompt; it was introduced during training.

Finally, an event capable of killing the Python demon!

Yes, this is a problem (look up "the oracle problem"). My understanding is that the conventional solution is to rely on trusted third-party oracles that are outside of the control of the con…

Unlikely to happen with conversations, yes, but very likely to happen implicitly as part of work with coding agents. Successful agent trajectories will be used to learn what works and what doesn'…

SO has been in decline for many years now; there's not much they could do to stop it now. Even if they could, it's hard to say whether that would be a net good for SO; part of what drove peo…
