This is a common issue, and most developers I worked with are not aware of it until they see the performance issues.

Most people are not aware of how Dapper maps types under the hood; once you know, you start being careful about it.

Nothing to do with LLMs, just plain old learning through mistakes.

For some reason, it sounds like someone being held against their will, which is exactly how I feel about it too

I don't think diversity in a software ecosystem is a bad idea. Nothing is stopping Hugging Face from changing their terms and screwing us over

There are many pull requests trying to implement this feature, and they don't even care to reply. This is the only reason I'm still using llama.cpp serve instead of this.

How is it going to be worse? He's lowering taxes in the border and trying to convince Central American immigrants to stay in Mexico.

cosmez — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 02:19:35 +0000

I've been working for the same company for 12 years, same role, same position.

Why did i stay? i was the only dev for like 8 years, being responsible for your work and not being able to blame someone for legacy code is an eye opener.

it makes you love your craft even more, i joined to start a port, turns out this porting process never ends (I like improving my own code).

Killed while stealing gasoline? they were filling running old trucks with gasoline and drilling on gasoline pipes.

The only problem with LiSP is the price! I recommend PLAI (https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/ProgLangs/) if you dont have the money to spend.

how did you handle the ambiguous syntax, i'm writing a logo interpreter right now? having a lot of problems with the inline command syntax.

Upload my brain, so people in the future can use it as a DIY kit for Artificial Intelligence?

This article sounds a lot like SOMA the video game. brain scans, uploading your brain, etc http://somagame.com/

No results found for this search. There's a reasonable chance that it's safe...

But you can never be quite sure. There are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world. Somewhere deep in the Amazonian jungle, "anal" could be an insult that gets you killed.

i don't mind this approach, you can waste an entire day with parsing even for the simplest language, this goes right to the point.

New comment by cosmez in "Fear of Macros"

cosmez — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 06:29:40 +0000

before this article i didn't want to touch scheme macros.

he does a great job by introducing macros using basic syntax transformers, every other tutorial failed for me by introducing define-syntax-rule before explaining how it worked.
