I've had a soft spot for CSS-Tricks for over a decade. I grew up on it in my early career.
That said, it's a really tough time both for ad-driven online media (as more information is summarized by bots and users never see the ads), and for manual coding materials. I wish the new owner all the best, but boy, this seems like an uphill climb.
The writing had been on the wall though, ever since Bun's rapid success with their alternate strategy. Deno quickly started removing its opinionated stances and playing catch-up on Node compatibility.
I loved their original vision, and I'm glad they tried. They had some really cool ideas for a better world of JavaScript, and I do think they placed some pressure on Node and made it better in the process. I'm also glad they're getting a buyout for their hard effort, even though it's probably more about hiring a team of skilled JS runtime engineers than about acquiring the technology.
Oh, so an M2 will support GPU usage? Can you run CoreML and unsloth models in the same way you would use them on regular MacOS? Are there benefits to using Linux/Asahi for running models on Apple hardware?
You wouldnt be using coreml since thats apples software, but likely vulkan versions of llama.cpp or pytorch or what have you. How well that works at the moment i dont know
The entire administration has been operating on empty threats (see Brendan Carr's FCC speech policing). But most companies don't call them out on it, they just roll over
Just imagine if the threats were to improve worker wages and conditions. Companies are showing that they are paper tigers. We will remember that. Looking forward to a future AOC or some other dem soc administration to just try to fight for the common man for once.
One thing people have pointed out is that well-specified (even if huge and tedious) projects are an ideal fit for AI, because the loop can be fully closed and it can test and verify the artifact by itself with certainty. Someone was saying they had it generate a rudimentary JS engine because the available test suite is so comprehensive
Not to invalidate this! But it's toward the "well-suited for AI" end of the spectrum
Yes - the gcc "torture test suite" that is mentioned must have been one of the enablers for this.
It's notable that the article says Claude was unable to build a working assembler (& linker), which is nominally a much simpler task than building a compiler. I wonder if this was at least in part due to not having a test suite, although it seems one could be auto generated during bootstrapping with gas (GNU assembler) by creating gas-generated (asm, ELF) pairs as the necessary test suite.
It does beg the question of how they got the compiler to point of correctness of generating a valid C -> asm mapping, before tackling the issue of gcc compatibility, since the generated code apparently has no relation to what gcc generates. I wonder which compilers' source code Claude has been trained on, and how closely this compiler's code generation and attempted optimizations compares to those?
I had something similar happen after sleeping a few times with my first-gen airpods pro. I think something must have gotten filled with earwax or something, because the noise cancelling got more and more broken and had more sudden sharp sounds until they were unusable
But since then I've had two pairs of airpods pro 2 and bought the 3s on the first day, and I've had no such issues with any of them, including sleeping, and flying twice with the 3's so far. YMMV
