Well said.
I write a ton of Python code. Modifying code without static types is difficult and error prone. If a function needs a new argument, all the callers have to pass it and all of their callers recursively. Maybe the calling…
My understanding of weak typing is about allowing automatic type conversion. “3” + 1 === “31”, 1 + “3” === 4. Strong typing doesn’t auto convert.
I suspect there should be some data model guideline that says if keys can be missing then values can’t be nil, or if values can be nil then keys must be present. In the famous saying there are two hard things: naming,…
I wonder if Anthropic servers can handle the load their going to get tomorrow. Unless it’s a staged rollout
I accidentally used Sonnet 5 a bit today. It seemed significantly worse to me than Opus 4.8 for software development.
TOGETHER and ACTIV-6 were not good studies. I-Tech was a good RCT and showed 75% lower mortality in severe patients, p=0.02. Only 490 people though. Clearly this deserved replicating with more people. The fact that it…
There are multiple hypotheses for methods of action for IVM against covid that were plausible and deserved serious funding and investigation by governments. This did not happen. What did happen is the two people who…
I thought you corrected gamma in the monitor settings, not in your application code. Am I wrong.
I never had a music class at any point in school in California.
I wasn’t clear from the description if text rendering is GPU accelerated, or in my case drawing quads from an atlas of characters in a texture is probably more efficient.
The very end of the article says “They can keep them for decoration but servers must generate their own random numbers.” I thought the lava lamps were for this purpose.
“vaccines are used for population control” Bill Gates has stated this is a goal, but in a different context. The idea is if you’re in a country with a large number of early deaths you are likely to have more children,…
You misunderstand me. I was simply trying to find the two people who were saying such things.
I was trying to find a YouTube video I had seen previously. I ended up using Google to find it. There are two bio ethicists promoting the idea that we should make lone star ticks better at spreading alpha-gal and giving…
I’m sick of LLM refusals. I think there are extremely few things they should refuse, like maybe making nuclear weapons or something along those lines. Once you put people in charge of deciding what you shouldn’t be…
This sounds great. I’m going to play with it.
Stitches pages on an infinite canvas is possibly the worst UI I have ever seen.
I believe I’m tone deaf. There is no test for this. I am color blind, but I have the most favorable form of red/green color blindness which means for the most part I see all colors, but I fail the tests. Likewise I hear…
I wonder how often problems happen that the redundancy solves. Is radiation actually flipping bits and at what frequency. Can a sun flare cause all the computers to go haywire.
More complexity, no benefit. Human languages have lots of problems. I would simplify English if I knew how and had the power to make it so.
I strongly dislike flexible input like __Unambiguous___, *Unambiguous* I’m reminded of the time Microsoft allowed mistakes in html writing. They attempted to parse a wide variety of common user errors. The effect of…
On X11, the window manager handles the window decorations. So splitting them is going to involve some possibly non-trivial messaging and config.
I’m developing on an Nvidia Orin which requires Ubuntu 22.04. Snaps are broken on this platform. I used an alternative ppa that provided a chromium.deb.
Also true of specifications. Anything not explicitly stated will be decided by the implementer, maybe to your liking or maybe not.
