Unlimited retakes would be an enormous amount of work for professors/TAs/teachers. Optional homework is often a disaster. At best, students would do it right before an exam and the goal of education is not to just pass exams. They

Try using a subagent loop where you have one agent generate text and another critique the text according to some guidelines/goal.

You're right, there are tons of different workflows you can do. One of the more innocent ones, regardless of you opinions on vibe coding, is just using the LLM to understand the code base better. Even if I'm vibe coding something,

I've personally started focusing a lot more on code quality and communication skills over correctness of solving some leetcode problem. If I could get the infrastructure in place for it in the interview, I would have candidates generat

It will also cause a lot of trouble for companies with specific data access policies (probably most large companies). My money is on this new thing getting gutted very quickly as they figure out how much this constraint cuts into their bott

That's definitely the case as model distillation is one of the explicit safety carveouts they mention. Though TBF, model distillation is also a big concern for general safety as distillation could allow you to have the model without th

While less necessary with AI, Excel is still the king of data entry and basic data manipulation (sorting, filtering, updating, etc.). I’d say that SQLite with a GUI for visualization is a far stronger competitor than Jupyter at those sorts

std::array can sometimes give you the best of both worlds for stack allocation in that you statically constrain the stack allocation size (no alloca) while guaranteeing that your buffers are large enough for your data. You can also do a lot

That is not what they should do according to microeconomics because luxury goods are Veblen goods. Decreasing price would lower demand, at least until they lowered it enough that it was no longer a Veblen good. Basic microeconomics is just

This already happens a lot for used clothes with the thrift store->poor country->landfill pipeline. That third step will likely be a lot less rare with new clothes.

A vector of boxes is beneficial if you need to move objects around. If each T is 1000B or something, you really don’t want to copy or even do true moves in memory. Hell, even if you’re not moving things around explicitly, don’t forget that

I enjoy both and have ended up using AI a lot differently than vibe coders. I rarely use it for generating implementations, but I use it extensively for helping me understand docs/apis and more importantly, for debugging. AI saves me

I think the examples others have highlighted show the problem with just making it a library. They’re all lacking a lot of features from Prolog, particularly in terms of optimization. Just use Prolog if you need its features and invoke SWI-P

I might need to try it out. However, I haven't really found a use case yet where the speed of Python has been a major factor in my day job. It's usually fast enough and is a lot easier to optimize than many languages. I actually s

And it needs to be said that you generally cannot tell if a vulnerability is critical for a given application except by evaluating the vulnerability in the context of said application. One that I've seen is some critical DoS vulnerab

You absolutely don't need extensions for JS development. It is absolutely NOT notepad level. In my experience with beginners, installing an extension is also incredibly easy compared to getting them to edit some vim/emacs config.

I think it depends on the music. Most people will have a greatly improved experience when listening to opera if they have access to (translated) lyrics. Even if you know the language of an opera, it can be extremely difficult for a lot of p

Why not both? As the GP mentioned, lyrics are also invaluable for people besides training for AI.

I'm pretty sure you could even have lyrics with a separate copyright from the composition itself. For example, you can clearly have lyrics without the music and you can have the composition alone in the case that it is performed as an

I haven’t used Codex a lot, but GPT-5 is just a bit smarter in agent mode than Claude 4.5. The most challenging thing I’ve used it for is for code review and GPT-5 somewhat regularly found intricate bugs that Claude missed. However, Claude

My favorite is when someone is demoing something that AI can do and they have to feed it some gigantic prompt. At that point, I often ask whether the AI has really made things faster/better or if we've just replaced the old way wi

The interesting question is how/if this impacts the recommendation engine. If it does impact recommendations, then that will directly penalize channels with more adblock users.

There is also kind of a built in sponsorblock for YouTube on mobile. If you double tap to skip 5s repeatedly, a button quickly pops up to skip ahead (not explicitly about sponsor segments, but I'm sure this is what it is used for 99% o

I'm not sure I agree that non-emacs things are not extensible, but I agree VSCode could be a lot better about extensibility. It's a shame that there isn't some convenient way to add JS hooks at startup like how you can with e

I'd always wondered how much data you can store on paper using QR codes given that print media seems to be much better at surviving for long periods of time.

Have you looked at idiomatic Racket code? You can freely switch between () [] and {} which makes things a lot cleaner.

The only thing I can think of that really matters which can’t be solved by just wrapping the data in an inner heap allocation (like std::vector) is with the pointer to the vtable for virtual function calls. If anything, I’ve found it’s more
