I'm not sure about this - for quicksort the usual answer for myself is o(nlogn) average case and o(n^2) worst, and for hash maps it's o(1) amortized complexity. Conversely for merge sort it's simply o(nlogn) flat. These…
Yes I saw the AIisms and immediately went to the comments lol. It's interesting I still don't think that it's worth reading stuff that seems so obviously AI generated! If you can't be bothered to write or at least edit…
No I'm with him it still makes no sense to me. There's a massive assumption that because you fit the profile you'd have heard of the service if there wasn't advertising. A major part of advertising is to find people who…
This is technically correct I'm sure but people usually use it w.r.t. f being simply the runtime of the function, in which case the common usage converges. I think the original comment may have a point here as I'm not…
https://knightcolumbia.org/content/ai-as-normal-technology Seems to be the referenced paper? If so previously discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43697717
Yeah fair points particularly for larger codebases I could see this being a huge time saver.
I directionally disagree with this: ``` It's common for engineers to end up working on projects which they don't have an accurate mental model of. Projects built by people who have long since left the company for…
Got up to the TL;DR paragraph. This was a major red flag given the initial presentation of the discovery of a bottleneck: ''' When a NOTIFY query is issued during a transaction, it acquires a global lock on the entire…
Conversely this is exactly why I believe LLMs are sentient (or conscious or what have you). I basically don't believe there's anything more to sentience than a set of capabilities, or at the very least there's nothing…
I think there is right? It's been a long time but I seem to remember it following from the time hierarchy theorem
Question - why would you do this in current year? Is it that much more performant? I might be ignorant but frameworks seem to be the lingua franca for a reason - they make your life much easier to manage once set up!
Yeah I'm firmly on the LLMs are actually sentient train so this was a bit of a distressing read
ITT: panicked Google employees try to convince you this is a very bad thing
