> system call, the context switches No, there is no separate kernel "executing". When you do a syscall, your thread becomes kernel mode and it executes the function behind the syscall, th…

Why does that matter? Copies of a few libraries is just not a problem.

Here's an example non-power-user usecase for CoT: Sometimes when I miss to specify a detail in my prompt and it's just a short task where I don't bother with long processes like "a…

Does it write UTF16 on linux too? That's my biggest gripe with powershell redirections and Out-File's on windows.

> js_create_aggregate Reminds me of awk, Nice.

But if you have two modes of operation: - Reading in memory data - Reading from a stream Then whats wrong with having two different APIs to use each mode? Instead of you doing a if (detect in memory) …

No, lol. Even the enthusiastic junior developer would go around pestering people asking if the dependency is OK.

It takes minutes for me too sometimes. Cursor is quicker, I guess it's a response parsing thing - when they make the decision to show it in the UI.

Take a chill pill.

How did you spot that?

Internal cpython state also includes say, a dictionary's internal state. So for practical purposes it is safe. Of course, TOCTOU, stale reads and various race conditions are not (and can never b…

These are time-lagged processes. According to your version of things, - $UNPLEASANT_JOB is costing too much! Let us start making robots - Let us continue to bear the cost of paying $UNPLEASANT_JOB a h…

I guess it depends on your expectations. Will they be fine as a company? I think yes. Will they be as prominent as they were at different points in their history? I think not. Product aside, from a sh…

Yep... I've been in a meeting where we were shown the result of moving a cancel button's position on the page to a more crowded place so it would be noticed less. It actually works people cl…

What incentive exists for someone to work in a coal mine - which is both physically taxing and guarantees lung problems by 40 - other than earning enough money so that their kids do not have to do the…

I think that's because it's of use to google internally. Dart and lit probably don't find as much use.

Even if they don't use colocation, is there a business difference between hiring dozens of AWS engineers vs contracting dozens of infra engineers?

> No, they're not going to go get shitty factory jobs. But that's OK, because all those jobs are now automated and done by robots. Nonsense. There are tens of millions of jobs that cannot…

Any big picture motivation works, war is just the most timeless human activity. But, the space programs of various countries are also good examples. However, one could of course argue that the space p…

A close family member worked at Bell labs during the cold war era. According to them, <paraphrase> The reason is very simple. There was a big picture motivation: the war, followed by the cold wa…

> Yes, I realize the source is there It isn't actually. The codein the repo just seems to be some scaffolding.

It doesn't matter. The output of a query cannot depend on the plan. All plans should generate semantically equivalent output necessarily. Notice I say semantically equivalent because obviously Se…

This is a case where the science evolved to justify a pre-decided narrative. This was absolutely necessary for an unsustainable food industry in an overly financialised nation(guess which). Don't…

My previous workplace did this. What app stores don't like is you reinventing javascript i.e shipping your own VM. What they don't mind is you reinventing html and css. So it is common for s…

> slave class > other option is to just nuke Ah yes the two choices americans have in their lives... enslave someone, or genocide someone. From the 1500s to the 2000s, some things don't cha…

Many successful ads feedback loops run at 15 minute granularities as well!

It's a broken approach only if you are talking about the academic approach to learning language. If all you want is to be able to form basic sentences with some english nouns (which is mostly all…
