I know category theory and the Leech lattice.

I assure you brethren, that this project is unmitigated AI derived fresh organic faeculent material.

A pile of steaming sh*t like our esteemed elders used to say.

".Some questioned how handing out reprints of an editorial published in the ADA’s own journal, at the ADA’s own annual conference, could be construed as a violation of that code.."

The God Emperor is not to be questioned.

So now Google is supporting fascism...

How many million graduate students do you need to give the US the military hegemony and political influence over allies and adversaries that the F-35 program provides ?

Looked at from a policy maker's viewpoint, things look very different.

China will bring down the price per million tokens.

In the hands of a domain expert, AI is useful. In the hands of the naive, it is a foot gun.

I killed my Arch installation and was stuck at the GRUB prompt.Unwilling to brush up my rusty knowledge of GRUB syntax, I asked Gemini for help. The commands Gemini suggested would have wiped my hd...

Once Gemini was told that I was using BTRFS, the suggestion from Gemini looked a bit more sane, but still looked incorrect to me.

It was only after I informed Gemini that I was using a NMVE with BTRFS that it finally produced a sane command.

An Australian version of MAGA is on the way...

AI written posts will kill HN.

I know someone who is with a leading firm. He is involved in a new multibillion USD matter every month.

The clients simply do not care about the multimillion dollar legal bills, since it is just a rounding error at that scale.

I find it hard to see AI being integrated at that end of the market.

Thank you for your excellent book.

Your book is highly recommended in the Go community.

I will definitely be reading it once I finish "The Go programming language".

Hoping for a decent Chinese alternative to AMD and Intel...

Come admire my slop app, artisanally outsourced to Shillong.

"The library’s stance, to put it simply, that the juice ain’t worth the squeeze when it comes to low level, compute-bound performance.

Designing software and data structures for performance against unknown use cases on unknown hardware is extremely difficult and the resulting code is much more complicated. Even then, it’s often better to use code written against your actual use case and hardware when performance is that critical.

Things that are off the table might be:

SIMD A highly optimized hash table rewrite Figuring out where inlining or LIKELY causes the compiler to produce better code."

LOL...

Classic vibe coder.

Wonderful !

Yet another slop coded library.

What could possibly go wrong...

China going capitalist ( while remaining authoritarian ) has helped lift 800 million out of desperate poverty.

I hope that India too can emulate this in my lifetime. I was born in Kerala and would love to see Indians live in a country that is as wealthy per capita ( PPP adjusted ) as Singapore or failing that even as wealthy as the USA.

Capitalism has it's problems. But you struggling with rent is entirely your self-inflicted problem...

All empires eventually decay and die.

Wang, Bull, Unisys, IBM, DEC, the Mongolian Empire, the Hungarian Empire, Dutch Empire, the Portugese Empire.... they all exist in some form, but are shadows of their former selves.

IBM died because it was forced to hire second raters to fill the ranks.

Over time, the company became synonymous with failure and mediocrity.

"The principal goal is to dedicate most of the Foundation’s financial resources to technical work.....

To make this possible, the Haskell Foundation will remain without an executive director for the foreseeable future.

Instead of having a full-time employee in charge of fundraising, events, coordination, mediation and much more, we will split these responsibilities between the Board and a new, part-time role dedicated to the Haskell Foundation’s financial sustainability."

Sounds a great move in principle.

Each day NeoVim / LazyVim sounds better to me...

If people want to work from home, I see no reason why their role

cannot be outsourced to someone prompting an AI / LLM / whatever the next technology is / from Guntur or Wajir.

Very few people are irreplaceable.

Last release was in 2023.

It is effectively dead.

This is a terrible shame, because this would have been an nice modern alternative to Prolog.

Krita is so much more accessible than GIMP.

Only Gimp devs would love Gimps interface.

Just the existence of Gimp seems like so much effort flushed down the toilet because of someone's bad, bad taste and incredibly poor user interface design

"The simulated U.S. Navy battle group was defeated in ten minutes by an enemy that launched its attacks from commercial ships and using other unconventional means.

The findings of the newly released postmortem from the $250 million Millennium Challenge 2002 exercise foreshadowed “the very challenges the United States would face in... other conflicts since then,” according to Jones, who is FOIA director at the Post."

"Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships: one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of Blue's six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel.

Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected."

Trite to the point of nausea...

Thank you, that is very useful advice !

If it is a war, then China is delighted.

The USA is very good at loosing very, very expensively....
