If an alien lands on Earth and learns English, would you deem it non-intelligent if you can tell it apart from a human in conversation?

I think we should consider slime mold intelligent, and realise that it's a spectrum. Path finding is AI. There are probably forms of intelligence we have yet to discover.

Maybe.

School shootings happen every year in the US, yet guns aren't banned.

Besides, banning open models would put ordinary US businesses at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the world.

The parent post is saying that the officer didn't show up for 20 years, with no burglaries in your neighborhood in between.

I do, and frankly I enjoy my day more when I don't feel like I'm being a jerk, even towards a robot. But mostly as part of a follow up message.

I also think it signals that I was happy with that solution in the ongoing conversation.

On the other hand, I'm much more sloppy with my writing.

The token cost is irrelevant, tool calls and reasoning probably dominates.

Well, what if it "just" increased white collar productivity by 1.5x, what would that be worth?

Sure, but this is an example from the article, and pertains to sum types in general, not just Maybe.

I don't think so, where's the extra information in the Zig example?

In Rust, which is arguably also a low level language, it looks like this:

    enum Option<T> {
        None,
        Some(T),
    }

Do you really prefer this:

  fn Maybe(comptime T: type) type {
    return union(enum) {
        value: T,
        nothing,

        const Self = @This();

        pub fn just(the_val: T) Self   { return .{ .value = the_val }; }
        pub fn nothing() Self          { return .nothing; }

      }
    }

    data Maybe a = Just a | Nothing

What's open about OpenRouter?

I'm working on Firefly, a programming language for full stack webapps:

To find slop in this submission, you don't have to look any further than the very first picture.

Got 50% in first try, the computer only made two guesses, one right and one wrong, and passed the rest.

Not long ago I was looking through programming language sites to figure out how to best introduce the language I'm working on.

ruby-lang.com stood out with a text in a big font:

Ruby is...

Followed by a paragraph about what makes Ruby special. I think that was an exceptionally simple and natural way of introducing something as complex as a programming language.

Sure, but one could imagine that there are people working at the supermarket who would also rather do personal stuff or go cycling. But there they are, serving you.

I think this kind of slop has negative value. It's unclear how much of the information in the comic is hallucinated, and the malformed code "for i = i1+|>" and nonsense text "(starts write hooks!" doesn't bode well.

But on Hetzner, you can usually get a dedicated server installed and ready tomorrow.

A few years ago I worked on TopShell, an attempt to reimagine the shell+terminal using functional programming: https://github.com/topshell-language/topshell#readme

It ticks some of the boxes, but tonnes of work would be needed to turn it into a full alternative.

Thank you! Yeah, I think some of the newer frameworks really complicate dataflow. We're trying to keep dataflow clear, though it's a big design space given the distributed nature of webapps.

In any case, if you take it for a spin, I'd love some feedback.

Speed is not an optional feature on the web. The site above is written in Firefly, uses hydration, and scores 100% on PageSpeed Insights.

The language is largely complete, and we're now working on DX: Got a language server, a devserver, and some essential libraries.

Seems like we can join the club! https://www.firefly-lang.org/ is 218 kB uncompressed.

By requiring transparency? What's the actual problem here?

Basic greenhouse effect: Visible light (and ultraviolet light) comes in relatively unhindered. Gets absorbed by the earth and heats it up. The heat is emitted as infrared radiation. This gets absorbed by CO2 (and equivalents) and reemitted in a random direction. Takes a long time to reach space by chance, so the energy stays in the atmosphere for a while.

So where are all the successful AI slop products?

I don't like that argument either.

However, the continued existence of society requires other people's children, so maybe it's a pretty important investment?

Very neat. I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there any way to get n equidistant points on the curve?

E.g. for moving an object at constant speed along the curve.

Easy to mitigate by only allowing the device that requested the 6-digit code to use the code.

Edit: See first reply, this is not a mitigation at all!

The reason working with the DOM directly is hard is that you have to implement arbitrary patching to go from one state to another.

The entire point of frameworks like React is to avoid the problem, by automatically creating and applying the patch for you.

It's not irrational; quite the contrary.

Do you have some issue that in Denmark its deemed solvable only through that?

No. On the contrary, our crime rates are some of the lowest in the world.

Like what?
