Probably there are things more important than your lunch that need time to be exactly synced with sun position

No, jet engines push against the atmosphere and the atmosphere is a part of the earth

Exactly that's how prioritising works

Wasn't it a think that "stuff" dies on exposed metal?

It reads like a rambling of a mad scientist, but I think simply adding pictures would make this feel absolutely normal (in the crowd of other blogs featured on hn)

I put aluminium foil over a bowl of pizza dough, as it grew the top touched the foil and in a few spots tiny holes appeared in the foil. I wonder if it was carbonic acid or what

> Wouldn't it be easier to add old hardware support to LLVM/GCC instead?

No, in fact it's much, much harded. You have no idea of the scope. I have no idea of the scope. Nobody does. There are obscure machines we've never heard about and there are C compilers for them. Targeting and supporting them from modern toolchains is a fool's errand.

There's also Zero-K on steam and it has an actual campaign. Last time I checked BAR had none, but it was on the roadmap

> Imagine a film-noir movie script, where AI Detective's "I know Mickey couldn't have done it because" monologue is hidden, versus their terse dialogue "Too early to say."

That's an idea. Bladerunner+noir like film, AIs hunt somebody on the run, an old human detective tries to catch them first (to save them or to kill them first, whatever's your propaganda). We're shown AIs constantly rambling scenarios and bruteforcing leads. Our old detective guy on the other hand barely says anything, spends most time drinking, smoking and talking to people, but somehow stays ahead.

Kinda, more output tokens usually correlates with better benchmark scores. Ideally LLMs would keep that in their thinking section, then draft a response (what they write currently), then output something short. It'd consume even more tokens, but we wouldn't see that text

So called "The vibe". And the vibe emanating from Rust is sometimes unbearable. Like claiming the main feature of the project is that it's written in Rust.

Hmm, there's just a few big messaging apps and just a few os vendors, weird that you couldn't have established special treatment for pushes about user to user messages

And you propose the same companies that have been cost cutting and avoiding buying you a chair for ever won't start objecting to a $200/dev/month subscription? The finance department won't have a say?
