haha every segfault puts me back down into the valley of despair xD. thats totally ok!

higher level languages often make it so you can focus on the language mostly. C and assembly, i think, you need a lot of context. what is running the code, and how.
The goal is to reduce complexity, not tack on more crap on top. The solution I have now with PairDrop is already more convenient than that.
Yes! I don't know why outlines in pixel art are so often screwed up when up-scaled to high DPI - it's the reason I install posy's mouse cursors on my high dpi windows machines, they look as close to the old pixel cursors as possible
Question to whoever knows anything about this kind of stuff: Are loading times of these ever likely to get (meaningfully) better? The demos are all interesting, but having to wait forever (10-20s) before they load is excruciating. I would be afraid to know what the loading time of a non-demo kind of game would be.

No problem, probably your expectations changed to the point your childhood computer is no longer interesting. As a child you were expecting discovery and wonder, and probably receiving it consistently. And that sense of wonder and discovery continues with cars.

Ahh no, I hope you don't mean to "organically" drive "enough" traffic from LinkedIn to a subscription or website elsewhere? Because that's exactly the kind of thing that's killing LinkedIn for job search and professional networking.

These AI models are just obviously new things. They aren’t people, so any analogy about learning from the training material and selling your new skills is off base.

On the other hand, they aren’t just a copy of the training content, and whether the process that creates the weights is sufficiently transformative as to create a new work is… what’s up for debate, right?

Anyway I wish people would stop making these analogies. There isn’t a law covering AI models yet. It is a big industry at this point, and the lack of clarity seems like something we’d expect everybody (legislators and industry) to want to rectify.
FTA: “You can't free the memory within the Arena. You have to wait and free the entire buffer at once. This is only good for certain workloads and not great for a general capacity allocator.”

⇒ this isn’t really a “C++ memory allocator”. That normally is assumed to have the three calls malloc, free and realloc and to be thread-safe.

This just has the malloc, but not even in a thread-safe manner.
But OpenAI is also state-controlled. Should countries outside the US ban it as well? At least with Deepseek I can download and run my own copy.
This is especially notable when you consider African states are bad at basically everything you'd expect a state to be able to do but are apparently very capable of this.

How so? I don't have to pay to read most websites. To read most books I have to pay (or a library has to pay and I have to wait to get the book).

Not quite. They had to chop the spines off books and have humans feed them into scanners. I'm talking about a robot that can walk (or roll) into a library, use arms to take books off the shelves, turn the pages and read them without putting them into a scanner.

That’s not the bit that matters, it’s the “this project is still in early development” and “this software might be broken”. Those are the things which hint at the project not being done.

How to easily convert HTML to image in Node.js or in the browser

The city where I live has a district heating system using water, the temp in the mains is up to 130C or thereabouts. Occasionally there are failures, but they tend to be fairly undramatic. Due to the temperature the water flashes to steam when released. It's not recommended to go too close to the leak due to the risk of scalding from the hot water and steam. But no explosions like can happen with a hydraulic block in a steam system.
TIL the Nika riots took place in the Roman colosseum, and the blues and greens cheered as lone individuals from each deme were sent down for slaughter. Yeah, this is hot garbage in terms of accuracy.

@Samplank2 - this may hurt to hear, but your assertions that better models and pipeline improvements will solve this are pure cope.

I like form submissions too, but it's not for everywhere.

For example, file uploads using multipart form submissions is a poor user experience - you cannot put in a percentage-complete bar anywhere because there is no way to determine how much data was transmitted.

When a file upload is taking 5m, the user is liable to think that the upload failed, and then retry, or give up. Very poor UX.

Other than that one exception, I cannot really think of any other place in which form submissions are the inferior choice.
Why throttle the browser rather than just having it block until more data arrives?
Only time running a tile VM was Sway while developing on a Raspberry Pi 2 doing full stack. Front-end and back-end are both in statically located applications, web browser and terminal. Other Wayland VMs could not run smoothly on it.

I find standard layer style VMs work better for desktop development. Same with being a daily driver. More dynamic moving parts with applications opening and closing ore often.

> Getting C# working on web would be an amazing.

People have been using Blazor WASM in Production for more than a year now. It's been stable since .NET 8.
> C# supports structs,

That's sort of the problem with C#. It couples the type (struct vs class) with allocation. C# started life by copying 1990's Java "everything-is-a-reference". So it's in a weird place where things were bolted on later to give more control but still needs to support the all-objects-are-refs style. C# is just not ergonomic if you need to care about data layout in memory.

Go uses a C-like model. Everything is a value type. Real pointers are in the language. Now you can write a function that inputs pointers and does not care whether they point to stack, heap, or static area. That function can be used for all 3 types, no fuss.

The great thing about old cars is that you can fix them up pretty much yourself, while a modern car has all kinds of software driven behaviour that is really hard to touch as a non-professional mechanic.

A Commodore 64 or PDP-11 is the equivalent of that. There's 64Kb of RAM and I can understand every byte that is there, what it does, and how it ties into the hardware. When I look at most C64 games, I understand exactly how it's made. I can also do the same things myself.

You might have the full Linux kernel code, but do you really understand completely how it works?

Well it's quite difficult to come up with much better rules than Asimov's.

HPMOR offers a solution called 'coherent extrapolated volition' – ordering the super intelligent machine to not obey the stated rules to the letter, but to act in the spirit of the rules instead.

No thanks. Even if you are running the LLM locally it's a terrible experience for me since inference will be slow and I'll need a lot of bandwidth to fetch weights. I'll probably not trust that my data remains on my device, and I definitely don't trust anything the LLM does.

While possible, the uptake/usage is very low once it requires lots of CTRL / ALT / CMD button sequences. Take something like Excel, which many users use daily for work, but most people likely only use less than a dozen common keyboard shortcuts. Practically nobody navigates the ribbon with their keyboard.

I'm in a role of Finance / Excel "super user" in my profession. There's a subculture of keyboard shortcut enthusiasts, but generally everyone is using their mouse a lot. I myself have about 20 that I use and rarely incorporate a new one into the mix, it has to be an action I perform repetitively for me to care enough to memorize seek out and learn the shortcut. I find navigating the ribbon usually requires too many keypresses and I instead have a custom quick access bar that I put everything I want access to so I don't have to toggle differing ribbons, I still use my mouse even though I know I could use my keyboard. It doesn't feel easier

It's worth noting that you can also use an interferometer as a very accurate thermometer[1]. 3D printing filaments are much more sensitive to temperature variation than metals, which can be bad if you're trying to get repeatable results & don't have good temperature control.
