The internet is hundreds of billions of terabytes; a frontier model is maybe half a terabyte. While they are certainly capable of doing some verbatim recitations, this isn't just a matter of teasing out the compressed C…
What are you going to do with this information? What policy would you plausibly advocate for on the basis of it?
If you overlay 30 prime number frequency waves plus 30 more even frequency waves, you're going to have an enormous number of local peaks. Look at a chart of sin(x) + sin(x/2) + sin(x/3) + sin(x/5) + sin(x/7) + sin(x/11)…
There's probably at least one game out there somewhere that uses Go's map iteration order to shuffle a deck of cards, and would thus be broken by Go removing the thing that's supposed to prevent you from depending on…
The problem is that people commonly don't even realize they're depending on implementation quirks. For example, they write code that unintentionally depends on some distantly-invoked async tasks resolving in a certain…
(OP author here) Lots of people reading too much into the tea leaves here; this is just a matter of picking the best tool for this particular task, and our task (porting a JS codebase to the fastest available native…
Our best estimate for how much faster the Go code is (in this situation) than the equivalent TS is ~3.5x In a situation like a game engine I think 1.5x is reasonable, but TS has a huge amount of polymorphic data reading…
It's not just the overhead of showing up, it's the opportunity cost of not doing contiguous hours at a bigger job. It's very difficult to fill up a day with 45-minute jobs all over town, so he's basically working…
Flow doesn't even check that array access is in-bounds, contrast to TypeScript with noUncheckedIndexedAccess on. They're clearly equally willing to make a few trade-offs for developer convenience (a position I entirely…
Flow's type system isn't sound either FWIW
I'd really like to make some video content (on-screen graphics + voice), but the thought of doing dozens of voice takes and learning to use editing software is really putting me off from it. I'd really rather just write…
The existence of Photoshop doesn't mean that you can put Kobe Bryant on a Wheaties box without paying him. There's no reason that a voice talent's voice can't be subject to the same infringement protections as a screen…
They've done the research and, well, the newer houses really are just better at having fewer fire deaths. I suppose it's possible the fires that do occur are worse, but on net your death rate is lower in a newer house.…
Using the same material for load-bearing and non-load-bearing parts seems like the definition of overengineering.
I'm here and I have no idea what you're talking about with ESM imports. Please log a bug.
Not to be flip, but if it were really all this easy, we would have done it already. There are dozens of questions you can throw at this code: What if the input's a union? What if it's a nested union -- how do you avoid…
Situation: There are 14 competing type representation formats TypeScript: We can write our own type file format! Situation: There are 15 competing type representation formats
You can use the TypeScript API to generate this information at whichever level of detail you want. The level of detail TS has about types during the checking phase is much higher than you would want in practice for 99%…
TypeScript dev lead here. Today, you can already write a program using the TypeScript API to inspect all of this information to accomplish whichever scenario is at hand. The existence of all these tools, each with…
Great, where's the data? Right, he doesn't have any, and is asking for other people to come forward with the data.
This story is bigger than Watergate by orders of magnitude, if it's true. There have been "Retired intelligence officer says he has evidence of aliens" stories floating in fringe media for decades, and all of them have…
Context matters. Is a "web developer" someone who makes web pages, or works on a browser rendering engine?
This is still useless because there's already a single issuer of concert tickets: The ticket vendor. The vendor already has a plain-old database of the tickets which can handle transactions at a tiny fraction of the…
What experiment would you run to determine if a given text input / text output interface had an "internal understanding of chess"?
