Not comparable - drivers and space in a city is inherently limited, while there is no limit on GPU manufacturers, datacenter probividers, or LLM companies

It was written with zero human edits. All Claude Code. The initial version (dictionary based on a Hash Array Mapped Trie) was done in 2 hours. The second version (5 data structures, including red-black-tree-based sorted map) took 46 commits

Befuddling that this happened again. It’s not the first time - Paul Manafort court filing (U.S., 2019) Manafort’s lawyers filed a PDF where the “redacted” parts were basically black highlighting/boxes over live text. Reporters could re

For me it‘s the opposite. I do have a good feeling what I want to achieve, but translating this into and testing program code has always been causing me outright physical pain (and in case of C++ I really hate it). I‘ve been programming si

Completely failed for me running the code it changed in a docker container i keep running. Claude did it flawlessly. It absolutely rocks at code reviews but ir‘s terrible in comparison generating code

In this case it’s the model. There’s an insane amount of computation that should happen in milliseconds but given today’s hardware might run 10 times too slow. Mind you these models take in lots of sensor data and spit out trajectories in

It is a well-known fact that 99% of architecture schools are about making students follow a particular set of tastes we call “modernism” - an ideology that states that buildings need to be innovative, that traditional methods should be negl

Your reasoning follows the exact playbook that is repeated by architecture professionals around the world. It is exactly these kind of statements that lead me to comment in the first place. No, architecture is not high art. It is the most p

Academia here is highly dysfunctional. For one, you don‘t need academics to build houses. It‘s an idea of the 20th century that you would. Previously architecture schools were part of the art departments. A bit of engineering, maybe, but th

It‘s not under-explored at all. Millions of people work in architecture and city planning. Every city has several departments that deal with planning and construction. It‘s just completely dysfunctional. Architecture professors have focused

Well just that it’s none of these things, as expressed by countless people, online and offline. It was voted as world’s ugliest building more than once etc. etc…

In the end it is a matter of economics. Right now there is no path towards nuclear becoming competitive again against wind, solar, battery. Plus, storage and cleanup costs in case of failures are not even priced in and left to taxpayers. Th

My prediction is that the world will stabilize somewhere around 80% renewables and 20% nuclear. Maybe less. Prove me wrong

At planetary scale it seems to be quite important not having to replace the whole fleet every few years don‘t you think? Just from a resource perspective this planet shouldn‘t drown in defunct solar panels.

Weird how you can operate such a service anonomously. Even the whois entry goes through whoisproxy. In the EU you have to put an address on every website that makes you reachable by courts.

Just lately there was an article about one of the last 50 surviving video stores in Germany that has recently seen an uptick in customers. They have a huge collection of DVDs. They get a lot more requests for DVDs rather than Blu-rays. htt

The problem with these tools is that despite having worked with computers for 35 years, I don‘t get them. My brain is not made for them. I only use out of the box vim when I work on consoles (which is still a fair amount of the time), I can

The metal support for pytorch is a real sh*t show at this point - all APIs are either legacy or unfinished. Also, app memory is about 3GB even for the largest phones. It really still feels that it‘s all in its infancies.

Rest assured 6-digit salaries are quite common in areas like Munich, and if you work for US companies like Google or Microsoft they can be double or triple that, or even more, through stocks. The sad truth as well is that there are not enou

An org's learning curve. First time it happened on this scale. They will probably do a thorough post-mortem to make sure processes are improved next time. Also, I hope they look at Twitter/X.

Ok. But written in Haskell? Why would you write this kind of stuff in anything but python - it’s trivial after all, and it should stay trivial through all layers…

I envy you, this has been my dream for years. But obscure payment gateways make this a task for the chosen few in this country. If somebody could point me to a workable solution (on Linux / cross platform) for Germany it would be highl
