i'm sorry, starting with "you can ask AI to … [but it'll do an incomplete and bad job]" and then launching forth into a hundred words of AI-produced text is not very appetizing

i hope this is the publisher's fault and the author replaces it with something decent of their own. contrary to the opinions i've heard around (including elsewhere on this thread) learning asm is still meaningful today and it's something i'd like to get better at so i will consider getting this book or one like it once $work is a bit less hectic

yeah it's pairing by another name

oh i thought this was going to be a jpeg that loaded the highest-frequency data first and added the lower frequency data later

only insofar as it is 1. not illegal to do so or 2. the cost-benefit of violating such laws makes sense for the majority of users, who are not doing things that are actually illegal

because without such a critical mass of normal users you get something like tor or grapheneos that the state begins to associate with people engaging in unsavoury activity

things like that indeed tend to be fraught

that's like 6k tokens over 12 hours which doesn't seem like a lot for…any purpose i can think of

can't you use font shaping rules or whatever it is to essentially begin a span of text with a "private key" that then causes the rest of the message to render correctly by combining with it (a trivial version could be e.g. a rot-N based on a given N)

essentially, yes

it's not about the prose quality, but about the fact that it seems like the service of deleting ai-generated code is also going to be ai-generated, or at least the service is being advertised via ai-generated text, which is…funny

"created with", à la "built with"

something's off here

the list numbering in that first link is a bit surprising

> Here’s the part I need you to sit with

no, i don't think i will

i've been using nixos on an m2 air for a year now, the kernel is enough

there was a vibecoded prediction market–style page that was put up yesterday (?) that got the date exactly right i think

can a unique fingerprint (no pun intended) be extracted from hand geometry

at least 50% of the front page would disappear if this were enforced

> on some queries the gaming card actually beat the H100 (1.26s vs 1.77s on Q10), despite the H100 lacking RT cores

despite?

aiui nvidia has buyback agreements covering these to prevent them from being sold off

i don't know why you're trying to analyze the meaningfulness of sentences that are not the results of a human thought process but are clearly rhetorical flourishes from an llm that "feels" compelled to fill its prose with them

> On the Intelligence vs. Cost per Task Pareto Frontier: GLM-5.2 is on the Pareto frontier of the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart, with the lowest cost per task among models at its intelligence level. GLM-5.2 costs ~$0.46 per task, compared to GLM-5.1 ($0.25), Kimi K2.6 ($0.31), MiniMax-M3 ($0.18) and DeepSeek V4 Pro (max, $0.05)

am i missing something?

> When you invite guests in, you say "Please, come up!"

japanese also does this idiomatically: the verb 上がる "to rise" can be used for "to enter (a house)", which gives rise to expressions like お上がりください for "please come in"

blindsight is really something

this is extremely reminiscent of the stackexchange situation

there was some interview where he illustrated the idea of a twin prime pair using 27 and 29
