It was Andrej Karpathy, one of the world’s top AI engineers.

I’ve stopped arguing with people about it (mostly haha) for this reason. They’re either going to have to figure it soon enough without our help, or as you say be left behind.

This matches how I use it. I’ll add a few other points:

4. Writing the first core version of a service or UI. I’ll typically use close to 100% of those generated lines, and then continue building with LLM assistance where it makes sense. It makes a big difference to development velocity.
5. Finding bugs. If some bug isn’t obvious to me, provide the code to an LLM and describe the problem. Its success rate is high.
6. Working with tech I’m not particularly familiar with (an extension of your #3, i.e. learning)
7. Writing documentation.
8. Reverse engineering existing code, i.e. describe some code to me so I don’t have to dig through it in detail.
9. Writing unit tests.

What do you object to, her support for equality or her opposition to genocide? Or is it that a woman stated an opinion?

So, the functional equivalent of reasoning?

Are you saying that ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek etc. “make heavy use of external tools” to write code? Because they all write pretty good code, up to a certain size of program. Certainly far better than the average human, who can’t code at all; or the average software developer, who isn’t really very good.

It won for clear reasons - on the same hardware, Linux is faster, and this is well-known. https://blog.zorinaq.com/i-con... SQL Server scores posted on TPC.org were faster for many years, although now that does not appear to be the case (perhaps for political reasons, as only Microsoft may post scores). Still, patching is profoundly easier on Linux, which is a critical feature for cloud deployments. https://www.tpc.org/tpch/resul...

I started cruising because work would call during my vacations. I was seriously in New Orleans on Bourbon Street for Fat Tuesday in 2010, and my phone rings with a development problem. Cruising took my phone out of range, and thank heavens for that!

UMC/Mediatek exists because RCA engaged in a technology-sharing agreement with the Taiwan government, before RCA management attempted to become a conglomerate. TSMC actually got later technology from Erickson.

RCA bought Banquet Foods, AVIS, and a carpet company. The resulting distraction ended their semicondutor division, and all the patents were sold to UMC.

Is the United States actually capable of producing a focused semiconductor company, that doesn't try to build an Itanium?

I have my doubts.

There is actually a Chromium package in OpenBSD that uses pledge() and unveil(), and it's interesting. The browser is only able to see your ~/Downloads directory; the kernel will either block or kill it for trying to open anything else.

If Microsoft is serious about Edge, then I would like to see a relevant OpenBSD package. I would also like to see an F-Droid listing.

Barring these, Edge is a Windows-only browser.

First, I'm assuming Intel's is a 10-nm part, which I understand is roughly equivalent to TSMC 7nm. I believe that Apple is producing a 5nm part. When Intel's designs start rolling out of TSMC's 3nm production line, the wattage questions may shift somewhat, but Apple and Intel will be on (more) equal physical footing.

Second, Intel has much more legacy hardware to support than Apple. Fujitsu doesn't support anything outside of AArch64 for their supercomputer, for example, but I am assuming that Apple retains AArch32, Thumb, Neon, perhaps the Java extensions, and others. Intel has a much larger tract of legacy support, going down to 8086.

I am confident that Intel will always have more legacy baggage, and higher transistor counts as a consequence. Still, when both designs appear at 3nm, it will be somewhat more fair to compare them.

Note that the Gargoyle router software has the ability to force all traffic through Tor. Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT, so this is likely an option there, too.

I don't think that our species is capable of inflicting a Permian-Triassic extinction event upon our biosphere, but I could be wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...â"Triassic_extinction_event

Read my .netrc script, in conjunction with the pwfile patch. I think it helps.

As I remember, the Alpha designers confronted management with the fact that they couldn't compete with Intel.
