this! - the reason Zig defaults to one semantic analysis thread is due to current (to be improved) limitations; some ideas for Zig also will require one compilation unit - the restricted function pointers proposal being a good example: htt

Ideally there is some sort of regulation, but one that cripples the leading companies like OpenAI and Anthropic... rather than helping them.

It's reasonable to believe not, because OpenAI has money and is using it to get what they want. Example: OpenAI is declining the 1 million USD from the navier stokes millennium problem prize, which is essentially a "bribe" be

I used a similar (same?) service that claimed no data was uploaded and "all processing happens on-device"... I decided to record network packets with wireshark and found out the tool DID upload a significant amount of data (about

My bad - I misread your original post as general company announcements, rather than feature announcements. Now my question is, if your internal staff are not requesting these features and are struggling to adapt fast enough, how useful are

by Retro_Dev 7d ago
Do you also have a graph for more useful metrics, like number of requested features delivered? Commits, lines of code, headscratch count... there are a lot of metrics you can use, but LLMs are notorious for increasing code verbosity - whi

I'd imagine that OpenAI would try to stagger their announcements, rather than publishing them recently close to each other. Is this because their previous post (about navier stokes problem) was met with controversy?

"can" is different from "do" - they do scrape our data without permission, but it doesn't mean they can (are morally correct in doing so)

That's like comparing apples to pears. OpenZL is not general purpose. You specify a format for data and it compresses that format. Specifying a general "could be anything" format would be interesting, but I doubt it would com

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure they could get away with this because nitter is not an archival software, but rather a frontend or alternative twitter proxy.

Let me amend: We can't find someone to blame for forces of nature. This includes an earthquake, tsunami, etc. Insurance can help recover from these events, but nobody is "responsible" for the events happening. This may or may

With AI, we give it the ability to do things. As we can give it this ability, we are responsible for what it does with that ability. LLMs are predictive models, and while we can expect things to go right, we know that things can also

Regarding LLMs and "breaking containment" LLMs are fully dependent on humans; compute capability, memory usage, the inference software... but also the harness, which allows for the "tools" like unrestricted internet acce

Exactly. If your website could be attacked via SQL injection, that was a problem that directly affected you - and you were motivated to fix it. When the victim is the masses or small organizations (not the company that does the attack) they

Surely you mean the "time spent," not the "speed" - as an interpreter would have an overhead , not magically speed up WASM execution. Somewhat related note, we need better tools for PGO within native compiled programs

seems to me like "private" is a good descriptor - I also have a set of "private" test cases - and they are kept private on purpose so they aren't scraped and fine-tuned on.
