This kind of thought is popular in the web world where browsers get an update every 3 days and you don't control the hosting services, so constant maintenance is unavoidable.

But in the world of desktop development it's possible for a library to be "done", having a 100% stable codebase going forward and requiring no maintenance. And it's not bad, it's actually good.

Requiring every dependency to be constantly maintained is a massive drain on productivity.


Once Zig hits 1.0 it will essentially be done. They don't plan on making further changes to the language, so they want to get it right while they can.

Looks like all the 2 users of C3 came here to complain about Zig. Why should we listen to you?

I've never even heard of C3, I use C++ and Jai.

I've never used Zig either, I just disagree that requiring constant maintenance is a good.


An interesting concept that stood out to me. Committing the prompts instead of the resulting code only.

It it really true the LLM's are non-deterministic? I thought if you used the exact input and seed with the temperature set to 0 you would get the same output. It would actually be interesting to probe the commit prompts to see how slight variants preformed.


> I thought if you used the exact input and seed with the temperature set to 0 you would get the same output.

I think they can also be differences on different hardware, and also usually temperature is set higher than zero because it produces more "useful/interesting" outputs


The LWN comments say that you are correct for local AIs (but not LLM services), modulo some caveats about compiler flags and hardware used.

I think the point is that it's not enforceable.


Correct. I think that's the purpose of DoH, but it's not helping me with my little game.


Not much apparently, although I didn't know about changing symlinks, that could be very useful.


Hm, I know that Safari doesn't support 64bit wasm, which is a very important feature that Chrome and Firefox both have, but this seems to say they have "100% webassembly support".

interop is a subset of tests chosen beforehand (nowadays, mostly by devs voting in the github issues). This says Safari has reached 100% on the subset of tests agreed upon for interop-25. Those specific tests can be expanded by clicking it in the menu. It'll take you here:

Everyone discusses better parenting all the time. But some people forget what it's like being a kid, circumventing blocking systems is trivial if you're motivated, and even if they weren't, a cheap phone costs $80 and kids are very willing to share their old devices.


I had a second phone line installed at my parents house so I could have dialup Internet of my own, so I grew up on the Internet through the twilight of the 'golden years'. My parents had no idea what was going on, I was the only one in the household that knew anything much about computers and the Internet.

rotten.com was an interesting education.

I had a good upbringing and generally attentive parents on the whole, though, so I was already a well balanced young human.


Kids can also choose to disobey parents and play on train tracks or jump off cliffs or a million other dangerous things. Either you leave it to the parents or you end up spying on every single action they take.


It's not that hard, maybe if you put up a sign with a slur a car won't drive that direction, if avoidable. In general, if you can sneak the appearance of a slur into any data the AI may have a much higher chance of rejecting it.


Seem iquilezles has finally given in. He's been complaining about crawler attacks a lot in the last months/years.

How can you have problems hosting a website that is so obviously cacheable.


.... Which is why he used cloudflare. Caching isn't magic.


I used to watch his videos early on, but it's been like this for a few years at least.


Same here, that's why I was kind of surprised. Shame what YouTube forces creators to degrade into, I remember it being super nice being able to see a video about a new SIGGRAPH paper before diving into the details, but these new videos (well, "new" if what you say is true about it being years) I can barely stand because of the change...


FYI you're responding to a 3-days-old account with way too many comments in such a short time frame to be legit. It's most likely a bot.


Lol, thanks I guess, but I'm just bored and have lots of free time :)

Also, based on my first message in this submission, how on earth (like exactly) would an LLM or something else be able to leave a comment like that? Do spambots on the internet have entire backstories now or what?


Seems super light on details, I guess I'm supposed to read the paper that's not linked? Not sure why this has to be new journalist and scientific research, couldn't you just ask Microsoft for some Halo stats and call it a day?
