As I recall, Bell Labs actually abandoned Alef on Plan 9 because the concurrency primitives they wanted were doable in C so they just went with that.
Errbody gangsta until the agent figures out it's in a container and finds an exploit that lets it break out of container jail...
> This whole you need to "adapt" to LLMs thing is bonkers to me, because there's practically no skill in using an LLM. False. There was a person in this thread complaining about how the LLM forgot to run the build…
"Nothing could have prevented this from happening," say users of only language where this happens
This is the PRIDE I meant. It's hard to tell if MBA (more recently, M&JB Investment Company) is still a going concern. Milt Bryce's son Tim was keeping the lights on but he died of cancer at the end of 2023.
And the Chinese are still going to kick our ass. Ancaps are in for a major cope and seethe when they are forced to admit that the communists won the cold war.
Source is the new binary. Specs and requirements are where the engineering is happening now. Of course, this was anticipated in 1971 with the creation of the very successful PRIDE methodology, but it's taken a few…
Getting chicken pox as a kid means you already have the H. zoster virus in your system, and when you get older as your immune system weakens, it may come out for a second go around, manifesting as shingles. Having had…
My A1C popped high, so I could get Shingrix 2 years before the nominal minimum age, paid for by insurance, on the technicality of having a T2D diagnosis. My blood sugar is much more under control now, but that's a nice…
No, he is correct. LLMs have much larger working memories for the kind of details you work with in programming tasks. You are at an objective cognitive deficit by not taking advantage of this. Everybody knows what he…
I hate to break it to ya, but there's been kind of a change in the way software gets built especially in the past year or so...
I was a bit surprised when about ten years ago I noticed that there were now really only two reactions to my Emacs use: "Emacs? What's that? Oh, sorry, I like things with an actual UI." Or: "Emacs? I remember that from…
What you described is even better: an Atari ST :)
In Emacs, everything looks like a part of the core system. The whole thing is just one unvariegated blob of Lisp, which could be a strength or a weakness depending on your perspective. Me, I happen to like that sort of…
If the Touhou games or Cave Story were released today, all of Hackernews would be like "dude, I wonder what their LLM workflow is like!" Japanese solo hikikomori devs have been putting out insane stuff since long before…
It's like At Ease for mobile. Neat!
It came from a company called Willow Pond Software. That seems to narrow searches down. WillowTalk is apparently still of interest to Half-Life modders because another WillowTalk voice, possibly a clone of DECtalk's…
One popular speech synth from back in the day, I believe it was WillowTalk, had a voice called Colossus, which sounded like the voice module of the computer from Colossus: The Forbin Project. This voice was used for…
"'Nothing could have prevented this from happening,' say users of only language where this happens" comes to bite OpenBSD.
The good news is that by making cars more trouble than they're worth, this may speed us closer to walkable, bikeable neighborhoods that can only be reasonably navigated on foot or by bike, connected by extensive public…
WHAT Department of Education?
It's almost as if... laborers in every field (the proletariat) have to unionize as a class against the ownership class (the bourgeoisie), seize the means of production, and reorganize society to their own benefit…
The IDEs would format the desired way as soon as you cursored off the line in some cases. This had benefits and drawbacks: it would actually parse the line, so if there was a syntax error, you had to dismiss the dialog…
Somebody talking about researchers, I think it was Hamming, once said that there are people who just can't think without a bench full of equipment in front of them. So if you want to get good work out of them, your job…
LLMs will still blithely ignore the specs and steering documents, apologize profusely for doing so after the fact, and tell you "I'll do better next time" which they might do once or twice. But after the context is…
