Mesh is also a boundary representation. I think you meam NURBS.

LLM is just a tool. How the tool is used is also an important question. People vibe code these days, sometimes without proper review, but do you want them to vibe code a nuclear reactor controller without reviewing the code? In principle we

but how can you prevent the user from modifying the kernel?

By vendoring the code in, in this case I mean copying the related code into the project. You don't review everything. It is a bad way to deal with dependencies, but it feels similar to how people are using LLMs now for utility function

The problem is that it is natural to have code that is unreachable. Maybe you are trying to defend against potential cases that may be there in the future (e.g., things that are yet implemented), or algorithms written in a general way but a

But this doesn't solve dependency hell. If the functionalities were loosely coupled, you can already vendor the code in and manually review them. If they are not, say it is a db, you still have to depend on that? Or maybe you can use A

Question: How many LoC do you let the AI write for each iteration? And do you review that? It sounds like you are letting it run off leash.

> as tasks that junior developers might perform don't match your skills, and are thus boring. Yeah this sounds interesting, and matches my experience a bit. I was trying out AI for the Christmas cuz people I know are talking about i

Wonder if someone used effect handlers for error logging. Sounds like a natural and modular way of handling this problem.

It has many language bindings, including python and js. Though the js backend is not parallel because it uses wasm, and we had problem with mimalloc memory usage with pthread enabled.

At least 1 would not be enough. So how many branches are enough? And what about people with less money and time available?

But this is not related. You still have to pay the APC.

I remember people saying that chromium is better at sandboxing than firefox, so more secure.

If what they did is never revealed to someone else, what is the problem here? It is not like we have no way to hide stuff without cryptography, and people are not advocating for police to search every apartment once in a while to look for i

Authorities cannot tap into your brain, cannot tap into physical face-to-face conversations, and people can plan out crimes using these means. It is not like there is no way to hide stuff before the born of modern cryptography. And who want

What I miss from vscode is the remote functionality, can you do it with emacs? For neovim there is distant.nvim, but idk if it is mature enough and configuration seems a bit annoying...

C/C++ dependency management is easy on windows? Seriously? What software did you build from source there?

I feel like these are stuff that the C-suite needs for justifying their pay. If it is "boring browser development", it will show that they are doing nothing, redundant, and cannot have bonuses and salary raise.

The nice thing is that a fully broken clock is accurate more often than a slightly deviated clock.

I am curious how the last algorithm is an order of magnitude faster than the one based on sorting. There is no benchmark data, and ideally there should be data for different mesh sizes, as that affects the timing a lot (cache vs RAM). I wor

Yeah, in that case I guess it is usually memory-bound? When it is memory-bound you don't really care that much about scheduling etc.

They won't use it intentionally, but it is not like it can never happen. E.g., https://reproducible.nixos.org/nixos-iso-minimal-r13y/ is still only 96.59% reproducible.

While I think the OP did not mean the compilation process is nondeterministic, I won't be surprised if it is actually non-deterministic. A lot of algorithms and data structures rely on nondeterminism for performance or security (by def

While it is decidable, people typically never produce optimal programs even for the hot path. It is just intractable and too slow to do right now. For register allocation and instruction selection, there is hope because it is FPT and there

Will they really get paid less? The feeling I have now is that people are paid a lot not because of what they do, but because of the potential damage they can do in case they fucked up. E.g. CEOs, lawyers, etc. Moving some of the work to AI

Not an artist myself. I think some artists may become more like head chefs in some Chinese restaurant, who is more like QA and give direction to cooks to improve their work. I think it is hard to notice the details and give concrete feedbac

Yeah, I remember reading someone saying you won't use a fork lift in a gym. I think this is the same idea. The problem is really about how to evaluate performance or incentivize students to actually work on their exercise.
