Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?English

Programming@programming.dev•LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to doEnglish
3·3 months agoYou say that, and GAs were used decades ago to design FPGAs to a spec. The evolved design worked perfectly on the test chip, so the design was copied onto a second chip and it failed. The logic gates were identical but the GA had utilised microscopic differences in the substrate and there were large areas of programmed chip totally unconnected to the main circuit. Without them, the first chip didn’t work any more.
There are likely quantum effects available at the size / scale of neurons, and it’s brave to say evolution wouldn’t exploit them if there was some benefit.
That’s true, but neither of those options are POSIX-compliant. You have to set POSIX_ME_SLIMY for clean to also condition.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•CIA tracing those IPv44 addressesEnglish
3·10 months agoThose IP addresses were about the most believable thing in that episode. It’s occasionally amusing nonsense, requires about 1% concentration, and if you fall asleep in one episode and wake up in the next, you won’t need to reach for the remote.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"?English
32·11 months agoThe character was created specifically because when we write we use different length dashes to mean different things—subtraction through to a pause for thinking.
The automated test will have no difficulty telling them apart. Are you saying it’s hard looking at the results of this tests? You might need to use a font that makes that easy (I agree many monospaced fonts don’t, but that’s not the character’s fault. Or include a step that replaces en with 2 hyphens and em with 3.
It’s more that they used to be shipped 2x4 unfinished, and would be planed smooth on site. Once the equipment and distribution was able to do the planing before it got to the customer, they had so much established practice that the installed timber would be smaller, they had to keep to what people were used to.
2” x 4” construction timber is 1.5” x 3.5” because of industrialisation (not shrinkflation)

1·1 year agoAmong this chart’s many other issues raised elsewhere, Ada is in totally the wrong place. Probably more system than Rust right now, and definitely not obsolete.
Geez did they build that page with asp? Is janky-scroll a default setting?
I have been burnt by Dropbox in the past so now use Syncthing between my desktop, laptop, and a private remote server with file versioning turned on. Trivial to global ignore node_modules, and not giving data to a third party.
It’s saved me on several occasions.

Technology@lemmy.ml•2D Chip Breakthrough: 6,000 Transistors, 3 Atoms ThickEnglish
1·1 year agoFrom what I can find, the ratio of ‘theoretical speed’ to current commercial ICs in silicon is about 1:20, so that would equate to about a 25GHz chip, all other things being equal (i.e. if that ratio isn’t some inherent feature of silicon…)
