All of these accusations could be true. But there's also no way for a company to casually claim "No, we did not train on your data", without verifying all the knobs the user might have turned to enable or disable data sharing

For programmers, there's very little incremental gain by going from 4k/32" to 6k/32". I've tried both and there's a limit to how small the text can be, but then I'm kinda middle aged. For graphics wor

It was useful for paper because it helped save time in cutting, folding, printing etc. None of that matters for a phone. This is such a non issue given that iOS developers already have so many resolutions to test.

For Desktop use, 100% of electron and python slowness will be gone in a couple of years, at least for new projects. If you're using Rust (or Mojo or C/C++), you'll have to try hard (almost a deliberate effort) to make softwar

In my search, I found that they spend almost an equal number of hours in air like you said - 75-100 hours per month. If that's the case, after adjusting for sex, these numbers holding would throw some uncertainty into the radiation hyp

Well, Clinton took over when the Soviet Union had just dissolved. Of all US Presidents, he had the least to worry about on the defense front. Reagan's spending was a reason why the Soviet Union collapsed when it did. So it's not t

These cards are forwarded manually (by handlers manning post offices), and it takes a while to travel. Bogota to Tokyo will take days to arrive.

Sure. This is the csharp target for tsonic (a TypeScript to C#/Rust/Python/Triton transpiler). It has a bunch of tests here: https://github.com/tsoniclang/tsonic-csharp/tree/main/test More

That's not been my experience. My prompting methods haven't changed much between recent GPT releases. I do put a lot of effort into building tooling and tests around a project, so the LLM output is converging around it.

It depends on what effort you're using etc. As an example [1] of what codex is capable of, here's hugo (written in golang) ported to TypeScript - and then a TypeScript to Rust transpiler which converts arbitrary TypeScript into Ru

Agree. Antiquated Indian farm subsidies are the biggest impediment to sustained growth. Nothing can be done, because it'd be electoral suicide to touch them. India's holding more than 100 million tons (!) of grain due to the manda

Software developers still need to think. Models can't do everything. That's it.

For a while now, I've found pelican rendering to be an unreliable metric for LLM ability - and most people know it. Yet, somehow it gets upvoted to the very top of every new model discussion.

No. I mean synthetic drug addiction. I know where you're going with this, and I once supported what you're saying; but there's enough evidence now (with addictive substances) to say that accessibility is going to make things

The underlying problem in most cases (of youth violence across the world) is drug addiction. I recently spoke to someone who had to quit an overseas job and return home because his teenage son had started engaging in criminality, after a dr

Just randomly: 1. TS only has a "number" type. But what type of number is it? This is doable safely via keywords (or known markers), or sometimes via analysis, but I couldn't find it in the README. 2. A compiler that works on

All you saw on that page was the revenue? For a potential customer deciding whether to trust a relatively small app (compared to Google and Apple) with their memories, these are useful numbers. 50% increase in paying customers this year. Ne

The transformer architecture is fundamentally unsuitable for local inference, while being efficient at scale. It's a fun experiment to try, but that's about it.

I have no connection with the team. They seem to be making good progress, starting out from Trung Nguyễn's effort. This would be a massively impactful project, and could revive the Hackintosh.

Anything that can be written in Rust will be written in Rust. I'm using Rust as a placeholder for a language with excellent performance and safety characteristics. It may not be a good thing, but there's no way around it.

Thanks. The idea is that many projects (including tsts itself) can be run unmodified on a JS runtime, or as a native binary via NativeAOT/C# or Rust.

Congrats on launch. The code is beautiful, and the test suite is quite solid. Over the past year, I've been working on porting the v7 tsgo compiler back into TypeScript - https://github.com/tsoniclang/tsts It&#x27
