They are like us. If you could take a baby from the past and let it grow up in our time, you wouldn't be able to distinguish it from a baby born in modern times.
If you see value in travelling to other countries and appreciate experiencing the different human cultures there, you should also appreciate experiencing human cultures from the past.
They are separated from us not by distance but by time which makes it harder to experience their culture.
So much was lost that we can only get glimpses on how lives were back then. So anything that expands our knowledge on the variety of human beings experiences is worth it.
They don't. After running, for the values in small_numbers from 0 to smlen-1 they are equivalent.
But if the last value of numbers[] is not smaller than 500, small_numbers[smlen] will contain that value for the first version whereas the second version does not write to small_numbers[smlen].
The more context an LLM gets, the more likely it will start to ignore instructions.
If the LLM runs a context compression, all bets are off. There's a reason Anthropic upped the context to 1M tokens to reduce the chance of this from happening.

I disagree. The amount of commits is not from somebody who is carefully reviewing the new code and considering the changes done. It's from somebody who thinks they are in control and think they can guardrail the AI.
I've seen this at work as well. Maybe it's a small case of the braineater that so many tech bros get when they get older. But they talk about the AI as if it were a being that can be reasoned with and not that it's just a statistical interpolator and autocompleter.
I know when I'm vibe coding. Just last week I needed 5 colors for a green to read gradient for visualisation some states. I ended up with a script that outputs arbitray color gradients in 5 different colorspaces (including a colorspace for which AFAIK there's no support in Ruby as of now) and additionally also considers different color vision deficiencies.
Is it useful? Yes. Would I run this code in production? Hell no.
Show me a forum or topics based platform that handle threads as good as proper mail clients? Don’t mistake the poor HTML view for how managing threads with thousands of replies look like.
Local filtering is the key to ignoring threads you are not interested in. Depending on the client with 2 or 3 keystrokes you are ignoring the whole thread or this particular sub branch of it and automatically jumping to the next interesting, unread message.
Remember that without memory protection everybody shares the same memory and everything is visible to every process. If a process doesn't release all their memory that memory leak will stay even if the process ended.
Shared libraries were typically loaded only once into the system's single shared address space. Any process could potentially overwrite another task's memory or shared library state.
I don't have my old setup ready but if I boot into Pimiga, I get about 60 task and processes running.
If you literally mean "seeing" workflows, because of the small monitors back then, you usually didn't have open programs side by side. The Amiga allowed to have multiple screens that were basically a better version of virtual screens combined with fullscreen mode.
Here is an example of somebody having Deluxe Paint open and the Workbench.
The pinnacle of workflow design on the Amiga was of course ARexx which allowed applications to communicate through message ports and automation scripts.
While the harness can block certain actions (e.g., tool usage), it can’t enforce perfect adherence to instructions because the model itself is probabilistic. The harness can reduce deviations, but it can’t eliminate the fundamental unpredictability of LLMs.
The rules that are fed into the AI are not unbreakable laws to the AI. We should always remember that.
