I am not thrilled to use java, but it really does what it says on the tin. A customer copied the jar file I sent them to their as400 and it just worked. There is nothing quite like it.
That is not the case at all, considering that he himself started using and tweeting about llms for coding fairly recently. He's probably less experienced in that area than most people who started using claude cli last year.
He is a researcher who understands neural networks and their architectures exceptionally well. That is all.
It feels like the richer a company is, the dumber their software and more expensive their upkeep gets. Something you could do with optuna in C++ on a single server now requires clusters of GPUs with LLMs at the helm.
It can be about any resource. You get it when two concurrent functions access the resource without a queue, atomic operation or wait, and one of them modifies it.
> caveman from 200K years ago would have been just as intelligent as any of us here today, despite not having language
There is evidence to the contrary. Not having language puts your mental faculties in a significant disadvantage. Specifically, left brain athropy. See the critical period hypothesis. Perhaps you mean lacking spoken language rather than having none at all?
Of course I specifically avoided invoking that language's name within the context of kernel programming in fear of summoning a Linus.
And he's so right. I didn't think like that back then, but new/delete (which have to be overloaded for kernel) behind allocators behind containers, vtables, =0, uninitialized members, unhandled ctor errors, template magic, "sometimes rvo", compiler hints, "sometimes reinterpret cast", 3rd party libraries, it would have been a disaster 20 years ago. Now he's being nice to Rust partially to spite that lang I love some more.
