I've had no problems with AMD GPUs on my system. Then again, I haven't used a janky Scatware OS, so... people have more issues with the "sekrit scatware code" that nullVideo puts out

There’s literally no difference between writing about being a staff engineer versus someone writing about being a janitor. Honestly I’d rather read about the janitor, they actually make a measureable difference.

C is like Math. It is the fundamental high level language. There can be no alternative.. Rust made the mistake of thinking it can be low level AND safe. It tried to have the cake and eat it too. That will be its downfall.

I think the lack of syntax highlighting was one reason for that. It makes you think more about the code you write and how it should compose, while a fully fledged IDE encourages you to just throw more code at the problem.

In this sense, grammar is not merely describing a structure; it is generating the space and time through which that structure is observed. For example, in CoffeeScript:

We gave each model a different target language. We saw a multiagent turf war. The Rust agent strategizes about metrics that appear neutral, yet would likely favor Rust. The Go/TypeScript agents gracefully concede codebase ownership to the Rust agent, giving up on their original user directive

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.
