not sure that works as well when they don't own their API though; how much software is openrouter-only in a way that's not 5min of deepseek to patch the source for, or 15min of opus to patch the binary instead

the compiler can still interleave anything it shows is side-effect free; it’s hard to show that something would benefit from being reordered without analyzing it well enough to determine what side effects it has

Have a reproducer?

I can't tell if you're hyperbolizing the idea of community, or describing schooling.

If I interpret "a machine superintelligence" as "a classroom of 300IQ humans," I'm not really sure how this is true? You still have material and energy constraints, you can't think your way out of those.

the one where i think of a particular piece of work, and i know who did it, then tell a student "oh, see if $author's group published anything else about this."

i'm not using software for this if this is off the top of my head, and it's the sort of thing that, at scale, hurts the forgotten author and their students

pidfd, eventfd, AF_NETLINK, epoll, memfd, timerfd?

you're thinking of the programs in low-level langs that survived their higher-level-lang competitors; if you plot the programs on your machine by age, how does the low quartile compare on reliability between programs written in each group

New comment by remexre in "Steel Bank Common Lisp"

remexre — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:50:13 +0000

my impression is that most CL these days is existing large closed-source codebases, hence the price tag for those compilers (you're not trying it out for a bit, you're funding the compiler devs to work full-time on the issues you're actually having) and relatively little open-source activity for "finished" things -- if you're developing against internal libraries, it's hard to open-source just the part you intend to

(work at a CL shop; mostly SBCL users, but maybe 1/3 of people are die-hard ACL fans)

how does this compare to MoSA (arXiv:2505.00315)? do you require that there's a single contiguous window? and do you literally predict on position, or with a computed feature?

c++ certainly also has and needs a similarly sufficiently smart compiler to be compiled at all…

Make your parser call back into your lexer, so it can pass state to it; make the set of type names available to it.

The point of an IRB is to act as an outside reviewer of _ethics_. IRBs aren't some checklist thing admin put in to protect the University's reputation, they exist as a direct reaction to huge amounts of unethical human experimentation occurring last century.

New comment by remexre in "Sampling at negative temperature"

remexre — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 22:42:19 +0000

There's usually an if(temp == 0) to change sampling methods to "highest probability" -- if you remove that conditional but otherwise keep the same math, that's not deterministic either.

What properties are you validating? ld.so/libdl don't give you a ton more than "these symbols were present/absent."

If you're trying to audit React, don't you either need to audit its build artifacts rather than its source, or audit those dev dependencies too?
