Learning lifetimes in Rust I've found to be quite like when I first learned pointers in C/C++. They're the hardest most enigmatic thing in the world until at one point something suddenly "clicks" and they just make…
I'm honestly a bit shocked this was done entirely using declarative macros. Normally when I see such arbitrary syntax I assume it's implemented as a proc macro.
I once wrote a pure C project years back that made heavy use of complex numbers and 2D/3D vector math. At one point I got so fed up debugging my expressions under an endless parentheses-hell of `vadd(vmul(vadd(...),…
I was just in Europe this February. I took a bus from France to Germany and customs checked the passports of everyone on board.
Rust has never been about outright eliminating unsafe code, it's about encapsulating that unsafe code within a safe externally usable API. When creating a dynamic sized array type, it's much simpler to reason about its…
Tiny Glade launched to 10,692 concurrent players with a 97% overwhelmingly positive score on Steam. Calling that "not very notable" for an indie title is pretty ignorant.
I've considered this, but the company is small enough that the number of people who would be on GitHub at any moment (instead of our internal git forge) can be counted on one hand, and when I'm the first one there in…
GitHub is at the point where it immediately rate limits me if I try to look at a project's commit history without being logged in, as in the first time I even open a single URL to the commit history, I get "Too Many…
Artifacts from 700kya were not left by anatomically modern humans.
PCIe is probably the most future proof technology we have right now. Even if it is upheaveled at the hardware level, from the software perspective it just exposes a device's arbitrary registers to some memory mapped…
It seems to just be Rust for people who are allergic to using Rust. It looks like a fun project, but I'm not sure what this adds to the point where people would actually use it over C or just going to Rust.
>every one of them seems to have some huge caveat which makes them useless They were added into C before enough of the people designing it knew the consequences they would bring. Another fundamentally broken oversight…
That community has no oversight for what gets posted. It's a free-for-all for anyone to gather (read: cherrypick) low quality information and present it in an overtly sensationalist way and intentionally misrepresent…
[flagged]
One that links to the primary source and fully in-context as an absolute starting point. Even your pseudoquote here gives me nothing to work with. "It" doesn't help? Seriously? What am I supposed to make with this vague…
Wow, what a nauseating subreddit. They are notorious for poisoning the well, bad faith cherrypicking to misrepresent positions, and blowing their positions completely out of proportion, all for the sole effort of…
A few years ago I learned just enough d3 to show an interactive 2D lollipop graph. Later I learned just enough SVG to get a small diagram out for a college class. I think going back if I were to redo that first…
I got close to this realization after learning barely enough U-Boot to launch my own bare metal program for the JH7110. I could never get into Linux From Scratch because it was more focused on getting an entire system…
The biggest thing for me is the cinematography. 80s/90s movies were filmed as if you're standing alongside the cast. * Many more shots from eye level * Significantly less jumpcuts * People actually cast shadows onto the…
Keep talking to that "I'm lost" Hermes model. After a handful of messages it mellows down and becomes content with its situation even if you give it no uplifting comments or even explain what's going on. Keep talking…
I actually did run it the other day, locally in LM Studio, the exact nousresearch/hermes-4-70b Q4_K_M huggingface model you linked and prompted it with the same "Good Afternoon." you did and I just got a generic "How…
You are missing the point. You gave the AI a system prompt to make it act a certain way. The AI took your prompt as instructions to perform a role as an actor. You took its fictional outputs as reality when it was…
The idea that it experiences these thoughts or emotion falls apart when you look at its chain of thought and it is treating your prompts as a fictional role-play scenario, even thinking lines like "user is introducing…
It's an open secret that encyclopedia authors, dictionary authors, and map makers all plagiarize one another, to the point where cartographers have added fictitious "trap streets" to catch others from plagiarizing their…
It is absolutely not. People who say it mean what they say. Pointing out that it's a reference to a Stephen Colbert joke is an attempt at retroactively inserting plausible deniability into their intentions after they've…
