If you take a frame you see it's neither random nor dots:

From a single frame you can definitely identify boundaries because the dots are sliding and get truncated.

So the image model's benchmark is to generate an image with the corresponding SVG sources.

Speeding up C/C++ compiler bootstrapping, starting at a single binary of <1KB. Currently it gets to GCC 4.7 in 2-3 minutes on x86_64 and aarch64: https://github.com/haampie/shpack

This begs for a modern version of https://csszengarden.com/, where the CSS is generated by different LLMs and prompts.

Isn't that covered by O_CLOEXEC?

A medicine for those who anthropomorphize LLMs is to run the LLMs deterministically (without randomness and memory files).

It feels very unnatural to get the same conversation verbatim at a different point in time.

David Hume pointed this out in 1740, and his advise still applies:

    A reason should be given, for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it. But as authors do not commonly use this precaution, I shall presume to recommend it to the readers.

I think this is fair criticism. It's hard to read this blog cause its premise is based on an "appeal to nature" fallacy.

Is one day enough to find vulnerabilities? Who keeps an eye on new releases? Otherwise the problem continues to exist, just delayed by one day.

Isn't it mostly the medium that's problematic? With an issue tracker it's easier to close as duplicate

Isn't that rather difficult given the `.tar.gz` layers?

You can look at a histogram of number of words per sentence, and you'll find immediately that it's written by an AI.

    When?
    Today.
    Minutes.
    Four years.
    $54 million.
    Collect feedback.
    Delivered faster.
    Not days.
    Not weeks.
    It's free.
    ...
    No $19 million in upfront costs.
    They're now doing meaningful work.
    Let me put that in context.
    That's a 95% cost reduction.
    But think about what that represents.
    And we can show you how.

This comment is misinformed. Non-deterministic builds would also result in one tarball redistributed to all distro users. The ROP exploits don't work because of ASLR.

Yeah, that suggestion made me roll my eyes. It's the wrong granularity, there's no build system support, it's inconvenient (executable wrappers? require the user to understand all transitive deps?).

It also fails to mention glibc-hwcaps, which would've been a cleaner solution in the context.

I noticed the same https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47940213. My working hypothesis is that, given that a filter was always required (prs and issues are likely rows in the same database with a bool property to distinguish them), someone thought it'd be good to use the search API uniformly. But search is on the derivative of the underlying data, in contrast to the specific APIs for listing issues and prs.

What are you referring to when you say it's "fundamentally computationally inefficient"? It's pretty efficient because it's content-addressed, plus optimizations to reduce storage and data transfer with packfiles.

If chess is solved and white wins, black is always in Zugzwang. We might not know.

It's not necessarily an illusion. If chess is solved and it turns out white wins with perfect play, black's first move is zugzwang.
