Ah doesn't affect you that graphical profiling tools are only available on VS, that management thought for a brief second to make hot reload VS only (saved by .NET community uproar and folks like Hanselman jumping onto discussion?), or that MAUI designer was thrown into the garbage can, and what is now available is pretty much WIP?

There are multiple kinds of truths.

'Statistical truth' is at best 'consensus truth', and that's only when LLM doesn't hallucinate.
But it doesn’t mention that you can’t actually use modules without passing a bunch of random compiler flags and hoping that they work.
OK, so from what I've read, "VOS" was the older name for CTS (Common Type System), not the name of the whole project. The project was named COM+, COM Object Runtime, and Project Lightning at different times. "Ext-VOS" ("extensions to VOS") is a document that primarily proposes generics, which were only added in C# 2.0.
Eschewing the need to sync everything was the best adaptation of my workflow. Instead I just transfer stuff to central repositories. My notes are version controlled with git and pushed on a server. Then I used the working copy app on my mobile devices to view them. On the latter, I mostly do transient note taking, and more often than not, I just message myself on WhatsApp. For something like a grocery list, I do them with Reminder.app When I’m back again on my computer, I write down what I want to retain.

I'm not sure what you're asking here? As I'm sure you're aware, software that links against dependent libraries can choose to not care which version it links against, or link against a major, minor, or patch version, depending on how much it does care, and how careful the maintainers of the dependent software are.

So, the number of SOs you end up with depends on how picky your installed software is, and how reasonable the maintainers of the libraries they use are.
Many claims don't stand up to scrutiny, and some look suspiciously like training to the test.

The Apple study was clear about this. LLMs and their related modal models lack the ability to abstract information from noisy text inputs.

This is really obvious if you play with any of the art generators. For example - the understanding of basic prepositions just isn't there. You can't say "Put this thing behind/over/in front of this other thing" and get the result you want with any consistency.

If you create a composition you like and ask for it in a different colour, you get a different image.

There is no abstracted concept of a "colour" in there. There's just a lot of imagery tagged with each colour name, and if you select a different colour you get a vector in a space pointing to different images.

Text has exactly the same problem, but it's less obvious because what the grammar is usually - not always - perfect and the output has been tuned to sound authoritative.

There is not enough information in text as a medium to handle more than a small subset of problems with any consistency.

It is true that unlike the capital "I" that starts the row immediately below, your "I" happens to have a shorter left serif, either because it has become erased due to the age of the manuscript or because it has been poorly written originally.

Despite this defect of this particular letter, which is not a frequently seen defect, I still cannot see how the right serif could be confused with a right hook. The letters would have to be much more degraded for the difference between an orthogonal serif and a curved hook to become invisible.

I agree that the differences between the 6 narrow alphanumeric characters "1IJijl" are small so they are more likely to disappear when the letters are partially erased, but when the letters are intact and they have been written with the right distinct shapes they can still be distinguished easily, in contrast with some typefaces (usually sans-serif typefaces) where they are intentionally made more similar than they were traditionally, which has been a very bad idea, so such typefaces (e.g. Helvetica or Arial) should be avoided.

We get a lot done, and we have fun, but let's face it, the fundamental design of Unix is older than many of the readers of Slashdot, while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy.

There are a few truths in this. I’ve been involved in a few large projects written in Python and have seen both ups and downs.

Green threads required extensive monkey patching, and debugging those programs was incredibly hard. Instagram moved from them to async/await and wrote a blog post about it, iirc.

But I agree that Python’s async/await implementation is a bit too low-level and could use better abstractions. A lot of the hate Python async gets is due to the `asyncio` library. It’s a shame that the default library is full of deprecated and gotcha-ridden APIs. Trio attempted to fix these, but adoption has been low.

The community settled on async for the same reason I love Go despite all its faults. It’s flawed, but you can build successful systems with it. Lots of companies still write new services in async Python instead of Go because, as big as the Go community is, Python’s is absolutely ginormous.

Plus, LLMs brought more new people to Python than most other languages, and it’s easier to find Python developers and teach them async than to hire Gophers.

We have a publicly owned electricity utility. Electricity is cheap and it's and it's a selling point for homes within their service area. The other utility is bad, especially when it comes to billing.

People hate it and there has been a big effort from activists to turn it over to public hands. The local politicians are on board for the most part, but the company is of course fighting tooth and nail.
Also great to bypass Netflix/Hulu/Disney geo or VPN restrictions. I run ZT on my travel Amazon firestick, connect to my home network, turn on use default gateway and all traffic goes via my home router.

Using a similar setup, a friend in Oz and I also share ZT networks, so either he or I can use them to watch content that is only available regionally. The traffic uses home IPs, so it won't get blocked or detected.

It just works.

I don’t think you can blame him for not having a large scale systemic solution to the problem.

Imagine if there was a chef on YouTube who was telling everyone how bad it was that we are eating over processed food, and he makes videos showing how easy it is to make your own food at home.

Would it be reasonable to comment to people who share the chefs message that you don’t like how his cooking videos don’t solve the root problem that processed food is too cheap and tasty?

And here’s the thing, he doesn’t have to solve the whole problem himself. Many developers have no idea that there’s even problem. If he spreads the message about what’s possible and more developers become “performance aware” maybe it causes more people to expect performance from their libraries, frameworks, and languages.

Maybe some of these newly performance aware programmers are the next generation of language and library developers and it inspires one of them to create the technological solution you’re hypothesizing.

You asked it to do a task with probably many examples. This course will probably tell you that will work fine. Don't see your point here.
Coming from cities in a 3rd world country that had government owned utilities, I would say my experience is the opposite. Usually the government is underfunded, the employees have no motivation and often are not even available to work thanks to their guaranteed jobs. Rampant theft of power and government have no interest to curb it due to vote banks. Unpaid dues by the government to energy producing companies resulting in bankruptcy of those companies. Political parties giving out free power and water to capture votes.
> What they're really asking, translated to "blunt and frank communication" mode is: "Why should we even care that you applied?" Then saying "hey, I need money for blah whatever" is non-responsive, but you can just talk about why you think you might be a good fit for them after all.

Yes, and that's exactly what's confusing to people like me who have autism; the question being asked isn't actually the question that they're looking for the answer to, and it's up to us to figure out what they actually mean. In this context, it might seem obvious to someone neurotypical, but I don't think I can easily articulate just how common this type of thing happens on a regular basis. The problem for me is that while I might understand what to do in this circumstance due to having encountered it before, it feels impossible to extrapolate what people mean when I'm in a new situation that I haven't had a chance to learn the "rules" for yet. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've had to separately learn what the expected norms are for pretty much every circumstance I've ever encountered when people say one thing but assume that it's clear that they mean something different.

The fact that most of this stuff is cultural doesn't really change the fact that implicitly learning rules like this is something that most people don't struggle with to the extent that people with autism do. To me, the issue isn't that I specifically want people to be "blunt and frank" or not, but that no one directly communicates what the expectations are, and that it's not as simple as a binary of whether to be blunt or not. Most people might struggle if they suddenly found themselves in a culture where the expectations were different than they were used to, but they probably didn't struggle to learn the expectations of their own culture. For me, learning the expectations of the culture I've spent my entire life in is still an ongoing process after over three decades, and I don't expect that it will ever really be complete.

An culture of all autistic people wouldn't be identifiable merely by how blunt they are, but by the giant binder they give everyone who comes to visit with all of the expectations written out to avoid any confusion. The reason I struggle with communication every day of my life is because I never got that binder, but everyone else seems to already have it memorized.

I am a game engine programmer at a 'medium sized' games company and it is becoming VERY difficult to hire anyone to work on graphics code. DX12 (and others of the same generation) is a massive step up from what previous generations (DX11) used to demand of the programmer. Doing anything at all with these APIs is a massive task and by Microsoft's own admission (I can't find the quote from the docs anymore, citation needed), DX12 is extremely difficult to learn without experience with previous graphics APIs.

I see a lot of people using the argument:
"but these APIs are only for developers that want to really push the limits of what the graphics card can do, and want to implement very low level optimizations." and that's partially true. But it's now the industry standard and it's nigh-on unteachable to anyone without previous experience.

Unless something changes, the hiring pool is going to continue to decrease in size.
The title made me think this was something on The Old New Thing.
Don't all conversions require copying the value at the level of the language semantics? You can cast a float to an int, but you can't assign an integer value to a float variable (leaving aside whatever optimizations the compiler might make). Casting a float to an int is only cheap because a float is a fixed size. So it seems unsurprising to me that casting a larger value results in a proportionally larger copy.

If that were the case, then you are right.. However, the current crop of LLMs seem to be good at understanding the context.

A scientific data point about bears is unlikely to have Goldilocks in there (unless talking about evolution of life and Goldilocks zone). You can argue that there is meaning hidden in words that is not captured by words themselves in a given context - psychic knowledge as opposed to reasoned out knowledge. That is a philosophical debate.
Junie, new coding agent by JetBrains – review
I've been using simply `nvim "$(date "+%Y/%b/%d").md"` for about 5 years now. Every time I see a note-taking project or an article about it, like the Zettelkasten method for example, I'm comparing to my one-liner.

I think it'd be useful to have a gif in https://github.com/fdavies93/daily-notes.nvim like https://github.com/jakobkhansen/journal.nvim does. But even then I must say, I still can't intuitively see the benefits of installing a whole plugin. I'm not doubting there are benefits, it's just that I'm reluctant to invest the days and weeks installing and using these plugins to know how they work.

The hidden assumption here seems to be that the model needs to be perfect before it has utility.
According to the spec it throws in the following cases:

Parent - Moved Node
disconnect - connected
connected (Doc A) - connected (Doc B)
connected - disconnected

The last one is the most concerning one. Most of the top performing frameworks do child node reconciliation something like this https://github.com/WebReflection/udomdiff/blob/e58db3ad28b72.... Each node could be unmoved (no-op), new (disconnected), or moved from within the parent (connected). Now if one wants to leverage moveBefore each of these nodes needs to be checked for it's connection state.

Allowing a parrot to iterate on given examples and generate a similar one with the information baked in their weights does not invalidate "Stochastic Parrot" take. On the contrary, it proves it.

LLMs are statistical machines. The catch is you feed it hundreds of terabytes of valid information, so it asymptotically generates valid information as a result of this statistical bias.

Even yet, they can hallucinate so badly. I mean, the same OpenAI model claimed that I'm a footballer, a goal keeper in fact.

Stochastic parrot, yes. On LSD, very yes.

Deepseek impressive, deep research also great.

And what you might complete underestimate: we never had a system we're it was worth it to teach it everything.

If we need to fine-tune LLMs for every single industry that would still be a gigantic shift. Instead of teaching a million employees we will teach an LLM all of it once then clone the agent a million times

We still see so much progress and there is still plenty of money and people available to flow into this space.

There is not a single indication right now that this progress is stoping or slowing down.
