when they'll finally manage to put it to orbit and come back without a dramatic issue, the space station will already be decommissioned, sad for Boeing

interesting, but we need the ability to also say no, using cuda core, quantization, distillation and vibe coding. do you think it's achievable with rust ?

I'd suggest you to use firefox on your phone. you can install many extensions there. then you could use an android debloater app to remove chrome completely from your phone

I don't think you can do 1. without distilling & quantization

you might need to upgrade your vercel plan

I like how they try hard not to say just "structs". another one is "codes like a class, works like an int". as if they were ashamed of the word struct. value type semantics is just that, plus few extra rules for some reasons (forced immutability is one of them iirc).

At best, the only useful thing I can get from chat gpt, deepSeek, or grok is keywords I can search on Google to find a valid solution to my problem. I get so frustrated with them that I almost never use LLMs, except for fixing grammar or translating. It's not because I'm against them, but because they are useless to me and a massive waste of time.

Although I agree with you regarding leetcode and the lack of feedback on rejections, I honestly don't understand the dislike for take-home assignments. If you truly enjoy coding, you could see them as an excuse to work on a new hobby project.

Try krita, it's open source, it's easy to use and has lots of features

New comment by nbittich in "Why Clojure?"

nbittich — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:34:08 +0000

I tried clojure long time ago, honestly what made me give up is when I saw a java stacktrace in place of a proper error message when learning it. Also the repl was slow. The UX sucked, I wonder if they improved that

I've the maximum muted words (200), literally muted country names so maybe that's why my feed is clean ish. Wish there was no limit though, still get some ai stuff sometimes

Just tried it, says it's fcked but I don't agree. There is zero political tweets on the feed analyzed, yet it says center left; it's basically just tech tweets.

The internet of the 2000s was good because it didn't have these "discover" and "for you" algorithms. If you were interested in a subject, you actually had to search and filter results to find what you wanted; no AI choosing for you. If you're not interested in politics, you shouldn't see political content, unless you specifically search for it.
