The claim that existing languages add inefficiency for LLM's lacks supporting evidence. The complexity of software engineering, both for people and LLM's, comes from issues other than syntax.

Many mobile J2ME games in the 2005-2015 had a similar size and were impressive too. Sometimes a time window appears and creates the economic incentives for optimization ingenuity.

I wonder if the incentive structure shaped by the internal MS metrics has been updated to reflect this commitment. Otherwise, little is going to change.

Before applying sortition to the civil service, it'd be wise to observe how it works on a smaller scale. Some corporations may attempt it. Though it's more radical than the flat structure or other organization alternatives.

It'd be great if it supported stdin&stdout for text and wav. Then it could get piped right into afplay

Is this a request to bypass the sanctions?

Once you enter the stadium or a concert, you become a part of the captive market. There exists an incentive to limit your choices and extract as much value out of you as possible. The limit to that is mostly defined by the organizer decency and the amount of pushback.

The experience is usually better at the smaller venues that aren't a part of strong fandom and more sensitive to the customer sentiment: indie cinemas, comedy clubs, etc.

In USSR they actually recognized gifted students and placed them into specialized classes and schools where they would thrive. They treated it as a matter of national security. The math circles and dedicated schools with STEM had the state support. The "equity" applied to the later stages of life - an engineer or a scientist would earn not much more than a blue collar worker.

It matters where the constraints live. Inside of a codebase they are easier to change. Updating the database schema would be harder. On the protocol level it may be impossible if not all parties can be updated. However, if the protocol is too loosely specified, it could create other problems.

I have good memories about a website with ELF's for the Siemens phones. Its name had "kebab" in it. By any chance, was it you running it?

I am aware that this is a bold claim and that it may be hard to believe. I also wish this weren't true. That's why I put a reference to support it. Check out the section on Public sentiments and politics. In particular, that 60% of population support the statement "Russia is for Russians" and what that phrase implies. If you are curious to learn more, check out studies and polls by any organization that you support - Amnesty International, Russian NGO's, universities, etc.

Most Russians hold racist views. It doesn't change if they are expats. As a result of the colonial conquests, Russia is a multiethnic state. But the minorities have never been fully accepted. The govt balances between suppressing the far right and managing it for its own purposes.

This wiki article has plenty of references, with many pointing to the racist actions by the senior officials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Russia

A game that employs the surreal visual style of the early CGI between the 70s and the 80s. They had a certain style that is easy to recognize. Dark backgrounds, models of the world and characters that are meant to express a technical achievement, high contrast, etc. The animation series ReBoot came later but it heavily relied on that aesthetic.

The content farms get ahead of the organic results for many other areas too. Search for the programming questions isn't so bad. At least, the garbage is easy to recognize. Queries about products and services probably have the worst results.

If I make an app that posts a FB status every time you use a buttplug, I'll call it FacePlug.
