OS page cache can generate writes

Is this a hallucination? What am I missing? Why would heavy reads generate writes?

And yet Steam Controller somehow only works with Steam...

"written in rust"

Why would they care about this?

It's very easy to block the Shield home screen ad with pihole

People make and lose real money in Las Vegas every day too, but millions of people don't have their retirement dependent on casino winnings.

My IKEA furniture has lasted 12 years so far, including 3 moves, with only minor cosmetic damage.

This worked for me just a few weeks ago

If that was the case they wouldn't need to forbid "parking" since it would not be possible to "park" without "driving" first.

It's explicitly legal for cabs to drop off passengers cycle lanes in London https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/walking-and-cycling-changes-o...

You've quoted the rules which forbid parking and driving in the bike lane and then went on to confidently make up the part about stopping and dropping people off.

How do you immediately jump from "fun" to nefarious behavior? Are you implying that it's impossible for anyone to have fun in a non-nefarious way?

No it doesn't?

Where does it answer this question in the article?

With -π to π radians you get absolute error of approximately 4e-16 radians. With -180 to 180 degrees you get absolute error of approximately 2e-14 degrees.

Even though the first number is smaller than the 2nd one, they actually represent the same angle once you consider that they are different units. So there's no precision advantage (absolute or relative) to converting degrees to radians.

Note that I'm not saying anything about fixed vs floating point, only responding to an earlier comment that radians give more precision in floating point representation.

Wait this doesn't make sense. Yes you'd get smaller absolute error in radians, but it doesn't really help because it's different units. Relative error is the same in degrees and radians, that's the whole point of exponential representation. All you're doing is adding a fixed offset to the exponent, but it doesn't give you any more precision when converting to radians

Ra is great, and so is Fine Structure but they are both significantly longer than Antimemetics. Most people wouldn't read a massive novel publishing on some guy's personal website.

rg/fd respect gitignore automatically which solves this problem

I hate ads as much as anyone, but the OP article would be more convincing if it didn't itself include 6MB worth of screenshots.

It shouldn't matter as long as it addresses your ask

But it doesn't? I'm more than capable of using Google and chatgpt myself. If I was looking for a machine generated answer to my question I would have already found it myself and never made the post in the first place. If I went to the effort of posting the question, it means that either the slop answer is not sufficient for some reason or that I want to hear from actual humans that have subjective experiences that an LLM cannot.

Posting an AI response verbatim basically says "I think you're too stupid to click a couple of buttons, so let me show you how it's done". I think it's very reasonable to get upset at the implication.

I do find it interesting that people don't mind AI content, as long it's "their AI." The moment someone thinks it's someone else's AI output, the reaction is visceral.

Isn't it obvious? If I'd wanted to see AI response to my question, I'd ask it myself (maybe I already did). If I'm asking humans, I want to see human responses. I eat fast-food sometimes, but if I was served a Big Mac at a sit down restaurant I'd be properly upset.

"You can determine any country as long as that county is USA"

Those acceptance criteria are guardrails for the change that comes after, and getting those out of your head into English is more important over the long haul than your undocumented short-term solution to the criteria.

I have a lot of context about the system/codebase inside my head. 99.9% of it is not relevant to the specific task I need to do this week. The 0.1% that is relevant to this task is not relevant to other tasks that I or my teammates will need to do next week.

You're suggesting that I write down this particular 0.1% in some markdown file so that LLM can write the code for me, instead of writing the code myself (which would have been faster). Chances are, nobody is going to touch that particular piece of code again for a long time. By the time they do, whatever I have written down is likely out of date, so the long term benefit of writing everything down disappears.

after the countless little iterations you made since your head-spec wasn't as concrete as you imagined before you started iterating.

That's exactly the point. If I need to iterate on the spec anyway, why would I use an intermediary (LLM) instead of just writing the code myself?

I agree with your first paragraph but not the second one. In many cases it's easier for me to directly write the code that satisfies the unwritten acceptance criteria I have in my head than to write those criteria down in English, have an LLM turn them into code, and then have to carefully review that code to see if I forgot some detail that changes everything.

Only some models

I'm sure you're being sincere here but this really reads like that famous HN comment about "who needs Dropbox when ftp exists". The reason vscode is popular is not because it does something impossible to do otherwise, but because it does those things out of the box with a friendly UI.

How much time did it take to write this rather than Google "join zoom in browser"?

It doesn't need to, it's just much more convenient when you can do everything in a single commit.

The point is atomic code changes, not atomic deployments. If I want to rename some common library function, it's just a single search and replace operation in a monorepo. How do you do this with multiple repos?

You can grant access to a few specific sites (in chrome at least), it's just hidden in settings and you need to configure it manually.
