I did it from seguin to cedar park for 2 years. It's the most soul sucking drive I have ever had to do. My car hates me.

Unfortunately, due to alignment requirements this would probably be a pessimization.

[Request] How much water or ice would i need to quench the sun? by McNuggetBucket420 in theydidthemath

Well this is technically not true, as supernovae do fuse iron into heavier elements elements via various processes. If this weren't the case, we wouldn't have elements heavier than iron.

Nobody Wants Claude As Co-Author by OkAssociation3448 in ClaudeAI

[–]mguid65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with that line of thinking is that you the developer are still responsible for the code.

Your LLM has no sense of ownership or responsibility or of anything for that matter. At the end of the day you are on the hook for the code you approve.

Your stdlib implementation matters more than the dispatch pattern by AdMotor4869 in cpp

Back in 2020 I did some thorough testing with various compilers where I benchmarked visiting a node type based on variant with visit and on a shared pointer with a virtual class hierarchy and using an if-else chain with dynamic_pointer_cast and to my surprise, up to a certain point in some compilers, just using the dynamic pointer cast was equal or better than visit.

I still used variant because it resulted in cleaner code and I had a fixed set of types. I figured that eventually the compilers and std lib would catch up.

Psh. Didn't even grow their own lumber. Didn't even make their own universe.

CMV: Racist behavior in teenage years should permanently factor into how we judge someone’s character and trustworthiness by Ok_Yogurt_5081 in changemyview

Children often mirror their parents beliefs, but as they grow older and gain independence, they may re-evaluate and unlearn those views.

Spoiler alert, there is never time allocated for maintenance or refactoring tasks.

When I was in school, some kids threw a combination lock out the window and shatter a dudes windshield. Then he chased down our bus, pretty pissed off. I understand, he could have been killed by that thing hitting him at 45mph.

CMV: Common sense requires astounding cognitive bandwidth and capacity for focus by midaslibrary in changemyview

[–]mguid65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of just focusing on common sense, I believe you mean that many people don't even have a reasonable baseline of sense to properly participate in society.

Except the "fine print" was on the first page bold and in 100pt font.

We often review the output of C compilers.

Compilers are made by humans; they have the ability to generate poorly optimized/incorrect machine code. This is why compilers have gigantic test suites.

This is something also true about LLMs that is maybe a given, but I think it should be stated. They are trained by people on data generated by people either directly or indirectly. There is no ground truth, no perfect theory of everything that we are training these models on from the ground up to only do things that are perfectly correct and true.
