Drafting last Friday, my first hand was zero lands, my second hand was one land, my third hand (bottoming two) had three lands. However, I then kept drawing four-drop spells and no more lands for 8 turns. So is it "on me?" Or is i

Hard real time is a thing in some systems. Also, the current approaches might have 85% accuracy -- if the LLM can deliver 90% accuracy while being "less exact" that's still a win!

Humans do it with access to the register-level data sheets, which are only available under NDA, and usually with access to a logic analyzer for debugging. Usually, the problem with developing a driver isn't "writing the code,&quot

Tell me you've never developed a driver, without telling me you've never developed a driver.

Or run a VM in Windows? Hyper-V is pretty decent for many use cases.

Ctrl-Z suspends the program in most UNIX shells. ("fg" to resume) Ctrl-S may or may not end up stopping the program, depending on how much it's printing, and how much output buffering there is before it blocks on writing more

All my shell RCs turn off xon/xoff -- that's a relic from the PDP-11 days we can all do without. Windows has the Scroll Lock button that's supposed to do this if you need it, but typically, just selecting a character in a ter

I don't think this analysis matches the underlying implementation. The width of the models is typically wide enough to "explore" many possible actions, score them, and let the sampler pick the next action based on the weights

Tool using LLMs can easily be given a tool to sample whatever distribution you want. The trick is to proompt them when to invoke the tool, and correctly use its output.

Huh? It sounds to me like this is arguing one should be OK with /r/conservative doing it (and joining up, even) but then not OK that other subs do it, too. That doesn't really pass the sniff test, so maybe I'm missing so

We had it, it was called "Aspie," but somehow that wasn't good enough.

Also, why would you need to compile it more than the one initial time? Are you actually making changes to Luau itself, rather than just using it?

Perfect! I will make sure to follow your instructions precisely.

Voting rights in founder-led public companies, and liquidation preference rights in private investments, are very different things.

Because someone who might invest some money, maybe wouldn't invest that money if they didn't get the preferred class protections? This is similar to how different credit risks get assigned different interest rates. Companies faili

Python is still a 10x or more performance sacrifice for anything that's actually CPU throughput limited. Or, alternatively, your VM hosting cost will be 10x larger on Python, than something top of the line, if your workload is CPU thro

If you're necessarily going to go with Lua (not recommended, IMHO) you should at least try luau.

There's a second side of this story, that nobody ever really talks about, because the cost is so diffuse. There are real, legit, uses for fingerprinting. One of the more common ones is anti-fraud for payments, as well as anti-abuse for

Let's say a typical base service (network attached RAM or whatever) has 99.99% reliability. If you have a dependency on 100 of those, you're suddenly closer to 99% reliability. So you switch to higher-level dependencies, and only

Another one of the biggest uses of Lua outside the hyperscaler-type software like nginx or redis: Roblox. Soooo many kids run games on Roblox every day! Roblox not only runs entirely on Lua, but they've been working on their own type i

Yes, the data center was designed for peak load. Unfortunately, the data center is hooked up to the grid. De-coupling that connection is what this article is literally about. Then again, some data centers just use re-generation from giant f

Yes, they do, and no, they don't want to wait longer for the result just because you think they shouldn't.

The thing with functional programming (specifically, immutable data,) is that as long as the invalid state is immutable, you can just back up to some previous caller, and they can figure out whether to deal with it or whether to reject up t

For systems where correctness is actually important, not just a nice-to-have (in most systems, it's nice-to-have,) we have had an increasing number of options over the years. From tools like "spin" and "tla+" to p
