Just from looking at the title, I feel that this talking about AI in general...

This is just silly.

The great gift of language is that it allows us to talk about arbitrarily complex things using a stream-like medium. Human speech is fundamentally 1D. The tree like structure of the concepts in language then facilitates the exponential growth in complexity.

Or maybe centuries of human progress just went completely in the wrong direction? Unlikely.

Nothing wrong with being silly, of course.

"I like it! It's bold!" lolol

I haven't read this yet, but from the title I'm surprised that it doesn't mention Kolmogorov complexity. How does Kolmogorov complexity relate to the concepts in this article?

Which is it? A number can't be small and large at the same time.

Well said!

I don't mourn our craft.

Could someone ELI5 what this does?

Would be interesting to heard about similar attempts, in particular for other languages like C++.

Hmm, interesting! Sounds a bit like a DSL for ECS with tight integration of event handling.

I'm probably not gonna do it, but just out of interest: What is the syntax?

Music being "good" is subjective. A programming language, however, can objectively be better if it allows a subset of programmers to better solve certain problems.

The reason for why OCaml is not more popular, thus, is that this subset is small. The reason for this may be either (a) habit or (b) it's not that much better than other languages. I'm gravitating to (b). OCaml guys seem to be quite dogmatic for the wrong reasons.

His name is Strangeway, he's sporting this preposterous mustache, and he looks after Big Ben. The guy is basically a living meme lol. He must be fun at parties; at least for like 2 minutes haha.

Why "Geometry"? Seems to just be a math 101.

  // You are responsible for releasing the structure in the end
  arrow_array.release(&arrow_array);

This doesn't look like RAII. How is this idiomatic for C++20? Why do you have to pass a pointer to "this" again as an explicit argument.

As a German, that's exactly what I was thinking lololol

These days, a lot of brainpower is spent on scamming people (case in point: Vivek Ramaswamy). One can really make quite a good living off of scamming people these days. If you could reduce the brainpower of that demographic, I think this would be good for everyone else.

If you primarily reduce the brainpower of scammers, like Vivek Ramaswamy, I think that would help, even if it reduces overall brainpower.

Basically https://www.shadertoy.com/ for dummies. Right up my alley haha ;)

A tried A Short Hike. Games like this make me anxious, actually, because they make me feel like I'm wasting time. But I'm not anxious in general. I guess, it depends on the person.

Can someone ELI5?

Lost me at "DSLs".

Fake news.

> The house overall was a 7-digit number. Sorry, I'm not comfortable being any more specific than that.

Is this using vscode's DAP under the hood?

This video makes me happy. :)

God, how often are people gonna post this editor here. I guess you can sell everything as long as it says "AI".

tl;dr

They made a C++ string type, let's call it "german_string", with sizeof(german_string) == 16. german_string can be in SSO mode (4 byte size field plus 12 SSO bytes) or in long string mode. In long string mode, they still use 4 bytes for the size, store no capacity (capacity is always equal to size), use another 4 bytes to always store the prefix of the string (this avoids a memory indirection in many cases when doing string comparisons), plus the pointer. Furthermore, a long string mode german_string can also act as a string_view or a string_view to ".rodata"; this is called the "string class". The string class is stored in two bits stolen from the 8 byte pointer.

Nice collection of puzzles. But the ads on this are bloody awful. Can't even pay to get rid of them. What a pity.

TIP: Don't sign up! It doesn't give you any benefits, and you still can't get rid of the ads.

Terse C interpreter that can interpret itself.

As commented before, by say that they "could very easily solve the problem" I meant that they could just collectively stop using the problematic AIs in prod until they feel that the issue is resolved (moratorium). Not that it's easy to resolve the technical difficulties.
