Sure, but in that case they are equivalent to a static function so there's no benefit of lambda other than syntax sugar.

Surely the commenter means deleting them in the code, not just the management software. Otherwise, what's the point? You need to find every occurrence of flag4 and remove references to it. So that boolean expression would need to have

Yes it's been done a bunch of times in the past, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_architecture . Probably most notably lisp machines which the sibling comment mentioned.

Oxford dictionary lists cringe as adjective. Cambridge dictionary lists cringe as adjective. Merriam-Webster lists cringe as adjective. Might need to update your understanding.

You can't just get something to space and then leave it there for free. Any maintenance is way more expensive than a data center on the ground (be it via extra trips or extra R&D for autonomous operating).

Still need the entire browser DOM, APIs, layout, renderers, etc outside of JS.

No idea about this project, but it is very possible to compile a dynamically typed language, without large VM/runtime. See Common Lisp, Julia

I would like to know if text is LLM generated even if I can't tell from the content itself. For me it's a matter of attention (hah) and a quality signal. The poster expects to spend a minimal amount of effort on the post, and all

Also bit twiddling is very useful in a scientific language when you want to "simulate" a lower level embedded processor, typically fixed or floating DSP or controls code. For example MATLAB/simulink are very commonly used as

Faster than rustc (the main rust compiler written in rust). Obvious from the context.

Bitbake (Yocto's build system) started originally as a fork of portage (gentoo package manager), but they have diverged a ton. Very similar concepts though.

> My experience is that Yocto is a bit like CMake: people hate the mess they make with it and blame the system, even though they never bothered learning to use it. I agree this is true a lot of the time, speaking as someone who has made

Are you seriously suggesting hobbyists should tapeout an ASIC instead of use an FPGA? 1. For one-off designs (quantity=1) ASICs will never beat a high end FPGA on unit price. 2. As a hobbyist, you want to EXPERIMENT. You cannot do that with

How would that help? Unless you happen to check the dotfiles git diff before running _anything_. I guess this could be put in prompt or some cron job to detect diffs but I bet absolutely nobody does this.

> Middle management is where the institutional knowledge sits on how to actually get shit done despite challenges & broken processes/systems. Really? In my experience it's the rank-and-file employees who have this knowledge

I have worked with a lot of people who had this attitude. The main predictors for it in my experience are 1. Lack of faith in the company they work for, ie they don't fully "believe in the vision" 2. Love of tinkering and pro

I'm pretty sure he has used gradient descent in previous videos to optimize systems, maybe this time it was just easier to hand tune rather than set up an optimization feedback harness around MuJoCo.

I was curious what information I could glean from these for some popular repos. Caveat: I'm primarily an low-level embedded developer so I don't interface with large open source projects at the source level very often (other than

I don't think any realistic system will bootstrap C from shell. What is the shell implemented in if not C?

He implied replacing nano was the first step, before using it for more complex (software development) tasks. First use it just for quick one-off edits of /etc/blah.conf then graduate to using it for longer editing sessions.

Rather than being about fast/simple/cheap, I think using SSN as a key was more about the fact that SSN is the only common identifier that almost all US citizens have.

Sure, but splitting "atomic" operations across a reboot is an interesting design choice. Surely upon reboot you would re-try the first `mv a b` before doing other things.

This is local to the device though. Nothing to do with the WAN. Would still work even on the "serverless" ipv6 network.

The Z80 instruction set lives on via the eZ80, Z180 and others which are binary compatible with the original Z80 instruction set. Unfortunately Zilog stopped making the 40 pin DIP package a couple years ago so yeah this specific board will

Really, the best we can do with the NPU is a less battery intensive blurred background? R&D money well spent I guess...

They can't realistically do this in Germany because the tracks are so much more busy than the US. There would more than likely be a train coming the other direction within the next few minutes, and they cannot guarantee all the people
