That's the point of the challenge: "are there unknown properties of models allowing us to construct a poison for any network given enough input-output pairs". The very point of CS as an academic discipline is _generalization_

Linux the kernel is fundamentally inferior to NT from 30 years ago, Linux the userspace is barely tolerable, Linux as an ecosystem is an amateur clownshow barely held together by corporate donations of drivers and absolute dedication of a h

Sometimes having a good kernel matters more than having a good userspace.

That's... definitely a way to describe Sean Barrett, whose excellent libraries popularized this style.

Zero accountability. Which proves yet again that accountability is the final frontier.

That, uh, says a lot about Google, doesn't it?

Take a look at Github accounts of people pushing it, and you will see a clear pattern - it works, apparently, for a _very_ specific subset of people.

Why would I want to write a C++ parser? IDL/DDL is the source of truth, moving the type definitions there is the whole point. There is only one definition for each type, which is in the *DL, corresponding C++ headers are generated and

If you would check my comments, you would see I am quite aware. And no, it will not, just like it was with streams, ranges and whatever else.

Which problem would this solve for them?
12.
by tw061023 1y ago
Well, either you carefully vet which C++ features you use and my assumption still stands, or you don't - in which case I would rather not like to work in your company.

Which use cases? What exactly you can do with "existing metaprogramming facilities"?
14.
by tw061023 1y ago
Reframe it as "you can do precisely what you need by generating code" and there is your answer. Which is far better than to rely on a party which, as I said, has precisely nothing to do with what anyone needs. Which will inevitabl

Whip up some kind of in-house IDL/DDL parser, codegen from that. Which, precisely, additions do not fit my points?
16.
by tw061023 1y ago
It's the other way around. You are the real programmer and the committee and the "modern C++" crowd are more interested playing with legos instead of shipping actual software. No way anything std::meta gets into serious produ

Sure, it took only what, 40 years of intensive hardware improvements* for assembly to move to the fringe? And we still reach out to it more often that I would like to because reasons? Yep, I guess you can train an LLM on a bunch of binaries

Rust is - by design - antithetical to pretty much every idea of rapid application development paradigm Delphi/VCL and to lesser extent Qt adhere to. It doesn't matter how many of Rust UI toolkits there are. Consider that there are

LLVM is basically a resource pool for C++ compiler development. As such, it is highly C++ specific and leaks C++ semantics everywhere. It's especially funny when this happens in Rust, which is marketed as a "safer" alternativ

It seems the community is severely overexposed to bad practices and implementations of OOP and conversely severely underexposed to the success stories. 153 comments as of time of writing, let's see. C-F: Java: 21 C++: 31 Python: 23 C#:

That's one part of it, yes. A browser API providing a few GBs of persistent storage with proper isolation and user management, obviously with some kind of compression/decompression going on to save both download times and loading

WebGPU is supposed to be properly sandboxed. The bigger issue is that WebGPU is basically dead on arrival for the same reasons WebGL is - it is impossible to get enough data to the client for it to actually matter, Awwwards-style design tri

Could you please tell what languages and technologies other teams use? Comparison statements are meaningless if there's nothing to compare to.

Build confidence _and then_ just be yourself. Because if you lack confidence in yourself, how can you convince another person to have confidence in you?

Have you considred the bicameral mind hypothesis? Because what you are describing sounds like a strong evidence supporting it.

From someone who had been lonely for a better part of his life, there is a solution that works. Build a bit of confidence (gym being the simplest way) and get out there, because whoever you are, there is someone else out there who looks pre

And that answer is both wrong and actively harmful to people involved. But it sounds clever and insightful, so there's that.

Writing a book on a topic is an art unto itself. Even most technical books have a coherent narrative, carefully crafted to bring the reader from point A to point B. If you want a quick reference on a well-known topic, then sure, use an LLM.

Even if this would be possible, it won't be idiomatic.

The argument is that Go is making a _wrong_ set of trade-offs. It was designed, specifically, as per Rob Pike, for _bad_ developers. Developers who couldn't be productive at Google because they weren't properly taught at unis [0].
