Is fab process re-engineering something an AI could help with?

Why SDL 2 and not SDL 3? Was the project started before SDL 3 was released?

I mean nul terminated strings aren't great, but neither are strings with a defined length Strings generally have poor performance, so making them easy to use isn't necessarily a good thing.

That's what pascal did back in the day, but 255 byte strings were all that was needed back then so only a byte was needed to store the length. Does that still sound maintainable? Anyhow, some developers put data into strings when they

I'm of the opinion AI slop code will become untenable way before that.

Why bother 'cheating' at all? If you don't want to follow those precepts, then just don't.

I doubt the dropoff is as large as 100k tokens. I start a new session and paste the best results from the previous one as soon as as LLM makes more than a couple of missteps. Theres too much focus on fixing what's wrong rather than goi

c memory allocation functions can be implemented in 1000 lines or so. I've done it myself. Maybe more are needed to handle strange operating systems or architectures, as glib does.

Replying to this comment so I can refer to it later.

I disagree. But maximising the acquisition of bits of paper and numbers on a screen above happiness and day-to-day needs is the American way.

The article claims tensorflow uses eigen. That's not entirely accurate, although the pre-packaged builds of tensorflow are probably configured to use it. Tensorflow can also be configured to use BLAS/LAPACK at build time and not e

Maybe you can install homebrew and open source apps to make it more Linux like, but you'll still be stuck with Mac OS's shonky window and task management UI unfortunately.

Interesting. I'll look into that. The Hippocratic oath says that a physician should do no harm (ἐπὶ δηλήσει δὲ καὶ ἀδικίῃ εἴρξειν). It's a personal value judgement as to whether some intervention is providing medical care or causi

I can't see how genetic modification would be the correct way to treat such injuries. Maybe substances that can trigger epigenetic effects would be more relevant to such things. I understand a Japanese team is working on a means of tri

If you think so, what sources would you recommend? According to Wikipedia on medical ethics, "These values include the respect for autonomy". Not expecting any level of self control doesn't show respect for autonomy IMHO.

by nuc1e0n 8mo ago
Medical ethics boards already do such things don't they?

Some issues could only become evident over a period of hundreds of years with gene editing. That's longer than any medical trial I'm aware of. And mistakes made would be difficult, if not impossible, to undo. If medications can al

Genetic treatments have the scope to not only have unintended consequences, but unintended consequences that can last over generations of people. I am in favour of them for some things, but we need to tread very carefully with the technolog

Maybe such a mutation would be a suitable target for a gene editing treatment. I'm not aware of all the issues involved there. I think the linked article doesn't have enough detail to form a fair opinion with.

by nuc1e0n 8mo ago
I wouldn't go that far. Other, less invasive treatments should still be available IMHO, but there should remain an element of personal accountability. Gene editing is a very powerful tool, and messing with complex systems in powerful w

This is not an acceptable use of gene editing IMHO. Cholesterol can be managed by diet. High levels of Cholesterol are down to choices made, not some inherited disease that patients couldn't avoid from when they were born.

By whose judgement is the css you speak of 'broken'? Just making random code changes without a corresponding ticket is a recipe for troubles down the line. If you must do unprioritised work at the bare minimum create a issue track

In the corporate environments I've worked in it is often company policy that all commits to source code control should have messages that start with reference codes to the coresponding ticket in the issue tracker (often jira). This how

I gather decompiling mario 64 wasn't easy either. Just having C++ that can be recompiled to other architectures would seem to be useful. The original Eliza chatbot was converted to modern C++ in a similar way recently, and that used a

Has anyone considered decompiling eloquence? With something like ghidra or ida pro? Mario 64 was turned back into high level language source code this way.

My experiences with ONNX have not been pleasant. Conversions from models written with Tensorflow and Pytorch often fail. I recommend using TFLite or Executorch for deployment to edge devices instead.

The results of a poll commissioned by ofcom are worthless.

Such lingistic differences of phrasing are the source of much conflict in my opinion.
