"found numerous examples of bloat and inefficiencies in Tan’s site code, and used a single (Anthropic) Claude session to review the files he downloaded from the website to confirm his observations"

1. I hope they never get hold of the code of MS Office or almost any other piece of real-world business software.

2. So anyone with claude access could arrive at the same conclusions ... and ask claude to fix it?

In mice

Edit: the title should have such a tag

I suppose you meant "good enough"?

"Where Are the Accuracy Benchmarks?"

I wish the author would have provided one.

There is a conflict of interest, though.

Because it's cgo-free maybe?

Some additional sound bites from last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLevant/comments/1nv9521/larry_el...

That's why there won't be any local models in 10-20 years. The latest Chinese models are already hosted on proprietary clouds.

Obligatory post: open source != free software.

There is OSS you are not allowed to modify etc.

And since you became management, you have refered to software only by the stock symbols of the owning companies?

While I like the move, I think it could have come a few decades earlier and I'm stunned by the fact that this is Franc-only. When will Europe ever wake up?

Isn't Zig's repetitive ceremonial code around allocators+ allocation + defer *.deinit() a sign of a serious shortcoming like golang's error handling? If zig is so good at metaprogramming, why isn't there a metaprogramming solution to this repetitive code?

Or Microsoft could simply fund open source software since they provide a Linux subsystem to allow people to do proper work despite of them having to use windows

Two AI agents fighting couldn't end up in an infinite loop?

Yes, but there is no song with the line: party like it's 1996. Simply doesn't work.

"When I use a text-only browser then no "adblock" is necessary"

So you browser as if it were 1999? Yup, no ads back then.

This isn't about compilation vs interpretation. R is simply badly designed as a programming language. This doesn't change just because its inventor wrote a book.

An RSS client without a web browser, which the team is fervently opposed to?

I know people who used Visual Basic for all of their programming. I'd say No either way unless people explained to me without bursting out into laughter that they also have extensive experience with, e.g., Kotlin, Rust, C#, Java etc. and still prefer VB or R for non-trivial programs.

No, it's not. Even established packages have bugs caused by R weirdness. I like it nevertheless.

"The reason you can use this simpler syntax in R is because it’s non-standard-evaluation ..."

So it actually is about Python vs R.

That said, while this kind of non-standard evaluation is nice when working interactively on the command line, I don't think it's that relevant when writing code for more elaborated analyses. In that context, I'd actually see this as a disadvantage of R because you suddenly have to jump through loops to make trivial things work with that non-standard evaluation.

Isn't really (ie fully) open source, is it?

Is this a problem for which the (human) solution is well documented an known and was learned during the training phase? Or is it a novel problem?

I personally think anthropomorphizing LLMs is a bad idea.

What kind of remote functionality? Lately, somebody mentioned https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels

That's not true. I think China is grateful to them for selling them their PV industry for a Wurstbrot.

Isn't it already too late, when you ask yourself that question?

I think it's ok to edit forth code in a modern text editor. Following your definition, many modern forth engines wouldn't qualify as a forth. You don't need an antique screen-based editor to get immediate words.

How did you formally test this claim: "Even Kids can formalize the multivariate equation in Litex in 2 minutes"

You're going to love the equivalent Haskell example.

But notion doesn't work on the file system. And nobody knows what file system on what kind of disk.
