Lol. The resume includes expert in Mia Khalifa easter egg.

Power abhors a vacuum.

Another thing is that COBOL records commonly have complicated unions (to save space) where a separate code affects how you interpret the fields. You need to understand all the business logic to make sure you are reading the data correctly.

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't...

And if it causes near-universal outrage, what then?

This reminds me of the duct tape X-ray source.

Or worse, pursuing something already proven not to work.

> Huh? How do you think `const char s = "Hello"; const char t = &s[1];` works?

I think you and the parent are using different definitions of granularity. The parent meant that sizeof(t) could be 32 or 64 bits. I think you just meant that the smallest thing the pointer references is the address of a single byte.

Rust already has fat pointers though. A reference to a smaller byte value could be a pointer plus a bit-mask.

I think there is a skill issue. Just like in any other pursuit, some people are going to be better at using AI productively. It is a tool. You are still responsible for the quality of the resulting code whatever the mix of human and tool generated.

The thing I find fascinating is that apparently there is a chunk of behavior that we might define as “intelligent” on some level that seems directly encoded in language itself.

The 737 design is like an axe that had its head and handle changed a few times. Is it still the same axe?

From what I have read, John had a genius for what you might call relentless optimization. Even if they just improve the performance or reduce the hardware requirements of executing an already trained LLM that would be a huge win. Current progress in that regard focuses on reducing the fidelity of the LLM to make it easier to execute, which isn’t ideal.

I was pleased that he called his write up on the industrial design for the computer, a case study.

I remember the doctor explaining that newborns are slippery. All I could imagine was the newborn launching from this contraption with doctor and nurses attempting to catch as the baby slips from person to person while the mother vomits from nausea.
