Even before AI this was common.

I'm getting work experience to become a licensed software engineer, which is possible in my jurisdiction (Ontario). Rarely does anybody care. I heard it's useful for safety-critical stuff bu…

> No learning linear systems without learning how to do linear approximation of systems in a mostly non-linear world. That's why Common Core trains kids on estimation from Grade 2. Instead of …

The ultimate goal is ChatGPT or Claude autonomously making purchases on your behalf and taking a cut. So the "premium" gymcutter subscription will be presented to the user as a tool call, wh…

Having grown up in Toronto, unqualified "beef patty" means the Jamaican snack. It is extremely common junk food I would buy at a convenience store on my way home from school.

Erlang/Elixir/OTP has a resilient environment with hot swapping. Is that truly problematic?

> Makes me wonder how long we have before, "create your own ChatGPT" becomes the next big thing and people wonder why their "AI Labs" aren't making as much as the big boys.…

The CUDA/HIP APIs are mostly C-like APIs but are really C++ language extensions. e.g. you need triple angle brackets when calling a GPU kernel. The compiler turns that into placing the kernel ont…

Unfortunately I'm a GPU programmer. C++-based CUDA/HIP is still the standard regardless of how much people would rather use Rust to program GPUs.

In reality, one massive update is too big to digest and it never happens. So you're stuck on out-of-date packages having lost the ability to update. That's never a problem until it suddenly …

Right now it can't click on anything so it'd probably fail at the minigames. But it'd be super funny to see a 4 person LLM lobby fail at games.

I made a general purpose harness integrated into MelonDS and got Claude to play Mario Kart by feeding it continuous video. It made forward progress in the Figure 8 circuit after I helped it through a …

More like the billions of people that use non-Latin languages, or even Latin languages w/ accents.

Alan Greenspan (fed chair from 1987-2006) was famous for deliberately confusing forward guidance. Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen are the historical anomalies for clearly communicating their intent. ht…
