Can we move on to the next grift yet?

True, but what percentage of phone owners will actually do this. Less than a fraction of a percent? The remaining 99 percent chuck their phone in a landfill when it gets slow.

If you give an LLM a word problem that involves the same math and change the names of the people in the word problem the LLM will likely generate different mathematical results. Without any knowledge of how any of this works, that seems pretty damning of the fact that LLMs do not reason. They are predictive text models. That’s it.

I find LLM’s to be much worse than the junior engineers I work with. I have tried copilot and I always end up disabling it because it’s often wrong and annoying. Just read the docs for the things you are using folks. We don’t need to burn the rainforest for autocomplete.

Dog no they don’t lol. My family has been in both ecosystems over the years and by far the iPhones outlast the Android phones they buy both in quality and in updates.

Yeah, it’s annoying, but the polyfill is like 3 lines.

I think that would probably fall outside the norm. My information might be outdated, but I was under the impression that JavaScript usually wins in most algorithm benchmarks because the JIT is so good.

I literally use BigInt on the backend every single day at work lol.

I’m really tired of this discourse. The JavaScript ecosystem is the lingua franca of the web. Furthermore, while a segment of the programming community has sat around complaining, JavaScript has gotten really good and continues to improve every passing year. Incremental progress is the key to making progress, not giant paradigm shifts.

WASM is slower than running JavaScript on V8 in almost all scenarios and will likely continue to be for a very long time. Also, many of us don’t want a compile step.

The US government needs to fast track breaking up Google asap. Chrome needs to be torn from their festering lich hands, so that the web can be free of their self serving, and frankly bad, proposals.

I gave up a few years ago and decided that I was willing to deal with any drawbacks of buying and playing games on consoles rather than dealing with Windows. I only have so much time to sit down and enjoy myself and I would rather not fiddle if I just want to play a game. It turns out that you can buy a PS5 and a Switch for less than the price of a decent midrange gaming rig.

Insurance companies are best incentivized and informed to make themselves a requirement, take your money, and then resist all efforts to actually pay you when you need them.

Yes, and that rethink should be that insurance of all forms is a racket.
