What narrative has changed ? I just see an experiment with a very perfectible result and some reflections about what capacity are currently missing to have better results.

There is no point to have an LLM do what can be done faster and deterministically by standard algorithms.

Did you use something like Z3 to solve/create the problems ?

Telling that "eau" is just "o" for pronunciation confuse foreigners even more. Some of then even thinks you are mocking them.

Very interesting. I have a personal experimental project to convert go to c++ but it's less advanced than this (https://github.com/Rokhan/gocpp). My initial intention was to manage garbage collector with some smart pointer or something like Boehm GC but I've still not reached the point where it's the main problem to solve.

EU doesn't tries to force a law. Some politicians does. EU is just a group of institutions.

> velocity should never be a first-class concern

Some people have not learned that velocity at small scale without global synchronisation is just thermal agitation.

At some point would it be more cost efficient to replace DRAM by SRAM or some other technology and use standard cpu/gpu silicon wafers to build ram chips ?

Interesting.

Just a little nitpick on the repo root: "This is not the readme you want, Please go to the src directory." => But there is no readme in src directory

It's seem completely crazy to me to give your card to a waiter.

Looking at the history it looks like a bot.

- quite young account

- all comments are roughly the same size

- only top level comments, never reply to other comments

I don't understand what the use automatic differentiation for in this context.

I don't use Node.js or Bun, so I'm little out of touch. But what need 1 millions lines of code as the js engine itself is a library ?

I don't know why but AI and LLMs seems to make people to lose basic sense of rationality. I didn't think we would have seen so many comments such as "It’s all the same just different syntax" after a full rewrite some years ago.

> What's your imagined ideal outcome when you comment... this, exactly?

That you take more time to search yourself before asking other to do it.

> Advice: just put the link and skip snarky commentary

As usual, the one requesting compliance to other is often the worst offender.

> Apart from the guy claiming an imaginary "all security bugs will be fixed" which I already said I disagree

That was exactly the point of the 'bluedragon1221' initial comment you were responded to. So finally you agree ?

> Which part of the comment comes off as fanatic to you?

I didn't use the word 'fanatic' neither the previous comment you were responded too.

> Can you discuss productively without attacks?

So you thing someone telling you "look a little harder" is a "personal attack" ? After I took some time to give you a link you ask for ?

> I'm not seeing fanaticism.

You are the only one using this word in this discussion.

"bigiain" comment, in the same discussion is an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48120707

There is comment like this everywhere, if you don't see them it's just that you don't want to see them. There are a little less frequent than 5 years ago but still frequent enough in each c, c++ or rust discussions.

It's strange to count this as single machine. But if we go this way, the north Chinese interconnection and the continental Europe interconnection are bigger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid).
