Honestly, same. I spend most of my time on Lobste.rs, private blogs, and chat communities rather than HN for this reason. I check in every so often out of habit and can catch some business news here or there...but the…
I've worked with many people over the years. A bunch of product people have struck out to make their own thing now that they can get a feedback loop going. I just keep in touch with people. They know my services are…
I've already done a handful of these gigs for early vibecoded products that had collapsed in on themselves. The scope of work was to stabilize the product and only make existing features work. The issues have all been…
Interfaces can still be expressed using vtables. You just have to write the vtable yourself rather than have the language do it for you. Also, Zig's tagged unions (enums with payloads in Rust) are really ergonomic and…
That is one theory of creativity. It is extremely far from proven.
Does your opinion change if they use it to train a commercial program to do a similar task?
Ideally you'll be working with the investors and leveraging their expertise and connections. If you're choosing an investor that you'll be working with for years, it's worth looking for things in addition to money.
Something akin to interfaces, but weaker. Right now people roll their own vtables or similar, and that's fine...I actually don't expect these to be added. But because of Zig's commitment to "everything structural is a…
I was also curious what direction the article was going to take. The showcase is cool, and the features you mentioned are cool. But for me, Zig is cool is because all the pieces simply fit together with essentially no…
Sure. That's pretty acidic wording, but I think it's fair to say they want more consumer market share and lock-in helps that. The original post's point was that by being more open they would encourage more software to…
We've diluted the term AI before. Eventually the hype will wear off and we'll call them LLMs, just like what happened to all the previous versions of machine learning or various expert systems. Vending Machines used to…
The only thing that works for me is separating things into very distinct "realms" and only having one realm open at a time. No exceptions. For example one realm is for communication. Slack, Browser, Email, and Calendar…
It's hard enough to view the content I want to see when everyone has "smart" content feeds shoving ads in my face. I work hard to isolate what I look at on Amazon from what I see on YouTube so marketers don't ruin the…
They didn't say all engineers, and I certainly wouldn't assert that. But I've definitely seen it personally at 2 early stage startups, a moderate-ish size business, and a Fortune 100. Just a handful of people, but they…
I guess that's kind of the point. You don't have to choose to be that kind of grown up.
It seems like the point being made is that because an LLM lives within the universe and can't store the entire universe, it would need to "reason" to produce coherent output of a significant length. It's possible I…
Honestly, on a non-toy project, build times with cgo are _brutal_. I agree with you usually, but when a build time on a beefy computer switches from under a second to >1min you notice it. Linters and IDEs get slow when…
I'm curious about this too, but haven't been able to figure it out. I want to do some extremely basic detection on user specified videos and it'd be really slick to do it entirely in the browser. Unless someone has a…
He's an adult, let him make his own choices.
Surely this changes depending on the individual giving/receiving? Regardless of intent you have people who would prize both. I've never worked in a place that had them, but I do know an individual who views it as a…
Does anyone have an example of a codebase that uses Design By Contract to an extreme extent? You really only get a sense of the power of patterns like this when you see that power abused. I've greatly enjoyed writing 2…
Since this thread is very general, I'd like to specifically request anything that'd help one dive into Model Theory. Everything I've found labeled introductory is very dense, and I feel like I'm missing some prereqs it…
I guess one question I'd have is why you think your brain is "operating properly". It's definitely perceiving and constructing a narrative out of those perceptions, but that happens differently for every brain and it…
This had absolutely nothing to do with the article. Why did you decide to spend your time bashing something you don't use unprompted?
Agreed. I'm going on strike.
