why can't you do:

C/C++ + libc ↓ LLVM/LLD ↓ mrustc + minicargo ↓ rustc 1.90 Cargo 1.90 ──→ OpenSSL ↓ Python x.py ↓ Rust 1.91+

And this is why vibe coders always make inferior software.

If you think transformer architecture is meaningfully more than autocomplete just because we added some data structures, plugins, tools and theatre - then your cache of understand is invalid, and needs to be regenerated.

No, it's a motivation issue, can't you read?

Hard dissagree, it's just the pot boiling to harvest data and render future users helpless without the chatbot. Your stance is anti-human, and the robots and ceos will not appreciate your efforts in giving capital more power over creativity.

Thanks for my new malware dropper! Love automated file hosts with little to know protection.

Why does that matter? Legally binding just means "slightly more expensive when we get caught"

They can! They just need a real computer, the real Minecraft game (Java), and then they can! it's so easy when you don't play the shitty mobile clone.

We should bring that idea back. I think in modern times, a 3 day weekend and 10 day week, or a 4-1-3-2 work/rest cadence might be nice.

This is on top of the issue of LLMs being a moron. like, I'm sure dumb people can learn stuff from them, but I'm sticking to books written by people who know what they're talking ahout and not vibed slop.

Yeah, but it's a TUI that has more bugs and worse performance than any other TUI in history. It's not like we'd notice a user after free.

Does every peice of prose published here have to be novel? is it not enough for you to read a new. perspective?

Same awnser as much of the LLM Proofs - people cared about other things. There isn't a lot of money in academic math, and the ones that love it don't look for low value findings. Proofs like these are, funnily enough, usually the domain of hobbyists - but over the last few years, the "Monetize everything" mentality and struggling first world economy has pushed people away from interesting academic pursuits on their free time.

So, worse? Because we benchmark off token use when talking about token use, and everyone else understood that.

Yeah but their political narratives involving dehumanizing people, and hurting minorities - which is way worse. The attempt at false equivalence between traditional American propaganda and right wing American propaganda is disgusting.

Its like that phase people go through where they argue with morons on reddit, and then one day grow up and realize that most of these people are unemployed/underemployed terminally online nobodies aren't ever going to learn anything, and even if they did it wouldn't impact the world since they were just some below average hobbyist anyway and aren't in charge of anything more important than a box of paperclips.

> Extremely depraved things are not the only thing to use freedom of speech for.

And yet, it's materially all anonymity is actually for in practice, within a margin of error. Tor - mostly crime & CSAM. Crypto - mostly crime. 4chan - mostly degeneracy, some crime. Faceless Corporations - used for crime, and things that should be crimes, but hide under other names.

Nope, that's just the design being wrong. Factorio has no issues with testing.

It doesn't matter if nobody is interesting it fixing it, video games have been and almost always are written like shitty single use code, (Even when it's not) so it shouldn't surprise anyone that proper test harnesses aren't available in engine.
