Yes, all we know is that things will change, but we don't know exactly how. So - increase your tolerance to sudden life swifts and learn to enjoy uncertainty.

Cool project, thank you for sharing. I've been thinking about something similar lately.

However. "Send, not apply" - sigh.. how shall I put it.. let's try this - eyes_rolling_so_hard_they_fall_out_of_sockets.png

Radiating 1MW at 500K (227C) with a 0.4MW heat pump takes about 200 m^2 flat sheet surface. Inputs - solar+nuclear for double fun. So - quite feasible.

no, not gtk4 - they lost their way after v3

wxWidgets carries too much legacy. A GTK3 fork maybe? Or a functional clone of QML with some improvements.

All Common Lisps can do that, though it is not a part of the standard. See e.g. (sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die)

As a sign in the window of a tiny shop in my quiet suburb says "Laptop and phone repairs - Windows, Linux and MacOS". If that doesn't count, I don't know what else could.

Firing a human is a form of natural selection. The unit here is a human fulfilling a position (job function) instead of an organism, and the adaptation mechanism would be memes/lore/training surrounding it. The same could be done in an accelerated manner to LLMs with some kind of DNA-like mechanism related to weights. It is plausible that LLMs will be bred in the future for specific roles by how well they fit - kind of like continuous parallel finetuning in prod.

As I wrote this I thought - hey, they might gain the capacity to do the same to us humans - and we won't even notice.

Yes. It is all about making uncertain things "certain".

Bullshit. We have more words for flavors of bribery than for types of snow.

Ruby is a strongly typed language. I think you are confusing strong typing with static typing.
