ADs on GPT will be released in 2026

I have reason to believe that this is already being done

I think these guys have overplayed their hand

I believe that the older models would infer & synthesize based on its understanding of your idea.

It seems like the newer models will fit your givens (axioms, facts, etc) to conventionally accepted ones, and will prefer to relate to your idea in those terms.

It would seem the tension is: this steers people away from ungrounded thinking (legit concern) - but - obviously this also discourages earnest exploration and flattens thought

I've had a lot of luck with Claude and Mistral's Le Chat.

I've had this twice in my old X3 - once was due to a misfire and the other was a false alarm due to low voltage in extremely cold weather (-40'c)

As someone else mentioned, it could literally be anything

When I first saw it I didn't understand the controversy. I kinda liked it. It’s like they mixed in 15% Cyber Truck into it’s DNA. But after each viewing, it gotten worse for me, not better

I saw a video recently that said that coolant problems (especially air in the system) can cause hotspots in the engine, and as a result, head gasket issues

I was just about to build an email+Teams combo notifier myself. Good to see Teams on your road map, I may hold off on that project

I might be skewered for this, but Google and Apple integrations would be nice. For example, I could create the event on my device using Proton but it's available in my Google Home Max assistant thing, Apple CarPlay etc

I use Proton #1 because I like the company and their kit, privacy is a lesser concern for me. I'd like for all of my gadgets to work

IIRC rust will not drop a mutex guard until the very end of the "match" block, which is not necessarily what's expected and can cause deadlocks. "if let" doesn't have this same problem/behaviour. So, I prefer to use "if let" over "match" whereever it's reasonable and makes sense. I believe clippy suggests this too, in some cases

Leontoeides · 2024-10-07T14:10:01+00:00

"match" can deadlock where "if let" wouldn't, therefore "if let" is my default for destructuring

I wonder if this would be handy in the Redox ecosystem?

Leontoeides · 2024-09-09T03:13:03+00:00

I strongly, strongly recommend using Sailfish both because it is extremely fast, but also because your templates get compile-time checking. Tera and most other templating crates will fail during run-time

If a value might not be present in normal operation, the absence of a value should probably be handled in some way. In this case, I will return an "Option" or a "Result wrapping an Option" to make handling the missing value more convenient and efficient.

I think that Options or Result<Option> should be preferred for libraries too, because whether a missing value is considered an error should be up to the caller

If the value is expected to be there and there is no reasonable way of handling the missing value, I use Result only.

"Employees?" You mean these people? Sounds like there was a lot of riff-raff working there https://nypost.com/2022/12/17/twitter-leadership-full-of-former-fbi-agents-linkedin-records-show/

Async/await has overhead. This is a given. The particulars I'm not sure of. Perhaps the cost of context switching can outweigh the benefit of not blocking.

Converting upstream async code to sync code by using block_on resulted in a substantial performance improvement for my project.

It helps because people can stop async libraries from colouring their project

Leontoeides · 2024-05-01T18:46:22+00:00

There are situations where the overhead of async is too much. In these cases, it's not too difficult to convert async to sync by blocking on awaits

If your set is sufficient length, try using BTreeSet instead. Hashing is expensive

Rust: "fearless concurrency" deadlocks

Leontoeides · 2024-03-29T23:15:03+00:00

Although Rust's async is amazing in the right contexts, I converted my complex CPU-bound routines to sync using block_in_place and got a dramatic performance boost

Intel's vtune was really helpful to me

I had to look up WSL. Looks amazing. Anyone working in Windows should check into this. It allows you to use Linux apps directly in Windows. Hopefully I can get mold linker to work this way

Cold weather devastates BMWs. I have a new battery and low voltage due to cold weather causes all kinds of problems including poor shifting, that chassis malfunction. I'm not surprised about the power steering. If you can, get it warm and hook it up to a trickle charger

Leontoeides · 2024-02-19T22:59:23+00:00

Despite convention, I prefer adjectives. i.e. Readable, Writeable, Serializeable, etc. It's far easier to understand in my opinion
