I am comparing Mistral and Claude for a company of programmer at the moment. Problem isn't so much the model but the harness and skills. Claude offers very good tools here. Mistral is behind. So a new model isn’t so interesting for me

U have a typst template file mostly containig functions and variable defs. Then i have a docutil -> typst rewriter that makes use of the functions of the the template. i18n is a non problem for me, because i have source files containig the correct text, but i have created ttf fonts containing may international glyphs using fontutils. As sphinx and typst support unicode it just works. the PDF are then postprocessed and all glyphs not used are striped out of the pdf, also some pdf streams are removed to shrink the pdf

i explain it by using Donald Trump: There is the atomic football (a case traveling with Trump so he can initiate a atomic war even while playing golf). The combination of the lock an the "Football" obviously is 0-0-0-0-0-0, But Tramp has problems remembering the order of the digits in the combination.

Question is: do i still use the integer mull command of my cpu or should i write it myself in c. I think the hardware still wins. But will it have a impact on future cpu ALU designs?

I have very bad experience with graphite heat pipes that are moved and bent. I hope they found a good way of ensuring elasticity over a long time

What are they even good forbid we can’t validate the input with? A convenient way to write down parameter ranges. Nothing more
