Contrapunk is a cool name though. How are you finding rust for audio development? I have a background in pro audio, and both for the audio and GPU render threads, I used a lot of arena allocators and ring buffers. Do you find yourself fight

Gradus ad Parnassum! What a cool idea, and the fact it's counterpoint gives you a nice little time buffer for any DSP. Super cool

I guess it's possible that Russia and/or China delivered some hardware to the Iranians. Doesn't seem far fetched given the low international support for this "excursion". Both countries benefit from a US quagmire.

Interesting article; I've always been fascinated and intimidated by FPGA programming - it's one of the few remaining "dark arts" of software engineering. > VHDL’s delta cycle algorithm is its crown jewel. It gives you

Integer promotion? - Stroustroup pleads C source compat else stillborn. Initializes lists suck mainly because of C source compat constraints, too. In fact, most things that suck in C++ came from B via C.

You made me laugh!...Bjarne indeed can't be accused of being a modest man. And by some accounts, he's quite a political animal. But in fairness, when was D&E first published? Argued for auto there, long before their acceptance

Can you share what aspects of the design you (and Stroustroup) aren't happy with? Stroustroup has a tendency of being proven right, with 1-3 decade lag.

I'll have a stab at this. I'll start with an attempt at justifying the remark that an agent which is a good coder will be good at other tasks. 1. Coding is, as a technical endeavour, relatively difficult (similarly for mathematics

In my experience, an indicator that my interlocutor is (possibly) lying/BSing, when challenged for an explanation for something they did, is that they provide a list of reasons. The person who's telling the truth just gives one.

Is that really true? I would have expected by now that AI companies nowadays are doing RL on git histories , not just on the HEAD.

This -- and obviously David Ng's article -- are absolutely fascinating pieces of work. I have a few (very naive) questions: There is a widespread intuition, encapsulated in the very terms "feed-forward networks" and "dee

I agree with the author that changes are needed to stymie the proliferation in malicious packages (almost certainly potentiated by the ubiquity of LLMs), but I wonder if this is the best way to go about it. The author posits two scenarios a

That was a thought provoking read. From a language design viewpoint, I wonder whether the current crop of async implementations - eg 'def' -> 'async def', f(x) -> 'await f(x)', 'return 1' ->

The whole point is that this fits on an ESP32, which has wifi. We're not quite at the point where it makes sense to run the whole thing locally - if you do try it, it will need a fan, and be loud etc. For my part, I installed Nanoclaw

How are JVM startup times nowadays? Frankly the need to ship with a JVM (modulo graal admittedly) is a drawback, eg for CLI tools - which the author listed as a requirement. Go's static executable story, combined with it's competi

Congrats on creating and helming such a cool project! Out of curiosity, does ghostty do the Quake terminal thing - I use yakuake for this, but it feels a bit long in the tooth.

I "pray" that you'll learn how work in an inclusive and non-toxic work environment. What did I say? I lean on LLMs because I can't get help without being subjected to unnecessary degradation. And what do you and others d

To my mind at least, it is different. I lean heavily on AI for both admin and coding tasks. I just filled out a multipage form to determine my alimony payments in Germany. Gemini was an absolute godsend, helping answer questions in, trans

Absolutely! -- and we could play this game for a long time ;) The right way of looking at it is, there was tiny little interlude of something vaguely approaching the free market -- back when Volcker was in charge.

Sorry, when you say "gloriously free market", do you mean whatever it takes EU, helicopter money (or, rewinding a decade, Greenspan put ) US, or factory of the world China? :) My point is that it's not a real market ec

First, let's distinguish between two types of syntactic constructs: null and left denominations. (Terminology borrowed from Pratt parsers.) Null denominations can exist on their own, left denominations can't -- they are inherently
