Is it easier to rewrite Bun than it is to rewrite Claude?

The claim that existing languages add inefficiency for LLM's lacks supporting evidence. The complexity of software engineering, both for people and LLM's, comes from issues other than syntax.

Many mobile J2ME games in the 2005-2015 had a similar size and were impressive too. Sometimes a time window appears and creates the economic incentives for optimization ingenuity.

I wonder if the incentive structure shaped by the internal MS metrics has been updated to reflect this commitment. Otherwise, little is going to change.

Before applying sortition to the civil service, it'd be wise to observe how it works on a smaller scale. Some corporations may attempt it. Though it's more radical than the flat structure or other organization alternatives.

It'd be great if it supported stdin&stdout for text and wav. Then it could get piped right into afplay

Once you enter the stadium or a concert, you become a part of the captive market. There exists an incentive to limit your choices and extract as much value out of you as possible. The limit to that is mostly defined by the organizer decency

In USSR they actually recognized gifted students and placed them into specialized classes and schools where they would thrive. They treated it as a matter of national security. The math circles and dedicated schools with STEM had the state

It matters where the constraints live. Inside of a codebase they are easier to change. Updating the database schema would be harder. On the protocol level it may be impossible if not all parties can be updated. However, if the protocol is t

I have good memories about a website with ELF's for the Siemens phones. Its name had "kebab" in it. By any chance, was it you running it?

I read Catcher in the Rye as a teenager. Even then I perceived some of that rebelliousness as trying too hard. A reminder that life at school sucks and many things are meaningless is hardly an epiphany. Those books come from the times when

I think that in the event of a such a collapse, there would be two new directions: turning the surviving advanced digital devices into general computers, and building new electronics. Reusing existing common software would be easier than bu

Displaying more videos gives more choice to the users. It may also be slightly better for collecting data about the user. But that's reducing the impact of the algorithmic feed and is opposite to what tiktok does. I unironically agree

This depends on how well this abstraction can be encapsulated. The systems with rigorous mathematical foundations often result in simple to use products that compose well. The 3d modelling relies on linear algebra, but the designers don&#x2

I'd call many of the non-Trump factions of the Republican Party conservative. But the current administration is far from that given their threats to the long-term allies, weakening NATO, and swift changes to the federal govt.

I think that the autonomous drone warfare is more of a near-term milestone than the goal. The goal itself seems to be AGI and the advances in the basic research and engineering that it brings.

I think that the social media is okay as long as no algorithmic feed gets involved. Visiting a few select tech subreddits doesn't affect me negatively. On other platforms the feed can't be avoided as easily.

This story goes as mad as a sub-plot in a Philip Dick novel. If a lot of weird stuff happens, how would this affect observers' estimation for the probability that we live in a simulation? I wonder if that was one of the intents.

Is the takeaway that the idea is bad or just the implementation? On web and mobile the hostile design is commonplace, and there is plenty of incentive for that to bleed more into the real world. Especially, if the physical world business is

Both statements are true. As a baseline it's good to consider the price of the regular TV's before they got smart.

Even at the most blood-thirsty periods USSR had programs for gifted youth, math clubs at school, and even dedicated highly selective schools. They also had cheap entertaining pop-sci books. The schools would fail the students who don't

Terminals don't take much effort to maintain compared to a browser. But most browsers rely on the ad revenue. The business models of the old Opera or Arc feel fresh.
