EU doesn't tries to force a law. Some politicians does. EU is just a group of institutions.

> velocity should never be a first-class concern

Some people have not learned that velocity at small scale without global synchronisation is just thermal agitation.

At some point would it be more cost efficient to replace DRAM by SRAM or some other technology and use standard cpu/gpu silicon wafers to build ram chips ?

Interesting.

Just a little nitpick on the repo root: "This is not the readme you want, Please go to the src directory." => But there is no readme in src directory

It's seem completely crazy to me to give your card to a waiter.

Looking at the history it looks like a bot.

- quite young account

- all comments are roughly the same size

- only top level comments, never reply to other comments

I don't use Node.js or Bun, so I'm little out of touch. But what need 1 millions lines of code as the js engine itself is a library ?

I don't know why but AI and LLMs seems to make people to lose basic sense of rationality. I didn't think we would have seen so many comments such as "It’s all the same just different syntax" after a full rewrite some years ago.

So probably very old accounts

> What's your imagined ideal outcome when you comment... this, exactly?

That you take more time to search yourself before asking other to do it.

> Advice: just put the link and skip snarky commentary

As usual, the one requesting compliance to other is often the worst offender.

> Apart from the guy claiming an imaginary "all security bugs will be fixed" which I already said I disagree

That was exactly the point of the 'bluedragon1221' initial comment you were responded to. So finally you agree ?

> Which part of the comment comes off as fanatic to you?

I didn't use the word 'fanatic' neither the previous comment you were responded too.

> Can you discuss productively without attacks?

So you thing someone telling you "look a little harder" is a "personal attack" ? After I took some time to give you a link you ask for ?

> I'm not seeing fanaticism.

You are the only one using this word in this discussion.

"bigiain" comment, in the same discussion is an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48120707

There is comment like this everywhere, if you don't see them it's just that you don't want to see them. There are a little less frequent than 5 years ago but still frequent enough in each c, c++ or rust discussions.

It's strange to count this as single machine. But if we go this way, the north Chinese interconnection and the continental Europe interconnection are bigger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid).

There is some interoperability provision to patents and copyright in European union if I remember correctly but I don't know how broad they are and if they apply to this.

There is already 100000 workstations in a branch of the police with this Linux distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GendBuntu

It's not performative.

I don't work regularly on it but I have a proof of concept go to c++ compiler that try to get the exact same behaviour : https://github.com/Rokhan/gocpp

At the moment, it sort of work for simple one-file project with no dependencies if you don't mind there is no garbage collector. (it try to compile recursively library imports but linking logic is not implemented)

It's probably just a technical accounting update. Old assets are often kept valued at their buy price and not reevaluated every year to avoid taxes (Banque de France is not exempt from taxes). As they swap a type of gold by another and do a sell/buy action, the new gold is valued to current market price while the old one was valued in accounting at an old value.

They had a deficit last year, so they can probably avoid to pay tax this year by balancing last year loss with this year profit.

  > Someone didn't get the memo that for LLMs, tokens are units of thinking.
Where do you get this memo ? Seems completely wrong to me. More computation does not translate to more "thinking" if you compute the wrong things (ie things that contribute significantly to the final sentence meaning).
