I was just coming to ask about word frequency. I get that cadence being jumpy might be less enjoyable, but having a look ahead that validates if a “likely to be hard to one-shot” word is coming up and slightly ramps down the pace, might make this an even better tool! Love it!

What is it bringing from those languages? The FAQ reads like it is just altered syntax for C#, no difference in semantics or function.

I am very fond of Gohu font. I have used it on a recent static blog formatting adventure <http://dntbl.ink>, converted to woff2. I couldn't be happier with how it renders and gives that VAX feel.

Why not use Claude one single time to create a service that does this? I have this same question with 90% of the 'simple' use cases I see for these task runners, it always seems more efficient (not to mention consistent) to have it generate the service.

>> Even if it only catches one small, it could save thousand of dollars down the line.
Or it could send a design team down thousands of dollars in false positives/false negatives. With zero benchmarks provided, it is very fair to question a product that could have material negative impacts on a hardware team.

This is really great, both from a specific application perspective, but also the approach. Really enjoyed looking through the repo and was inspired by your work.
C#/dotNet has Ahead of Time compilation that works very well with containerization. Obviously there are still overheads for the AoT runtime, but it is pruned.

My assumption is that there could be higher dimensional 'token' representations that can be used instead of vision tokens (though obviously not human interpretable). I wonder if there is an optimisation for compression that takes the vector space at a specific level in the network to provide the most context for minimal memory space.

Re:A love letter to the CSV format
on Thursday March 27, 2025 @08:08AM (#43492743)
It’s all a pros and cons.. the benefit of those characters are they are not used anywhere else, hence you never have to worry about escaping/quoting strings. But obviously most of my csv usage is automated in/out.
Re:A love letter to the CSV format
on Wednesday March 26, 2025 @09:40PM (#43489572)
Using ascii 'US' Unit Separator and 'RS' Record Separator characters would be a far better implementation of a CSV file.

Re:Async Await Is the Worst Thing to Happen to Programming
on Thursday November 14, 2024 @06:56AM (#42135355)
The only real landmine for c# is the default thread synchronization. If it was inverted, the language would be much better off. I think they also made a mistake in removing the OOTB method for throwing away the sync context, but I guess there are many third party libs that provide it.

Re:The Hearts of the Super Nintendo
on Monday April 01, 2024 @01:47PM (#39896881)
Later SNES games also used a timing check for region locking to identify PAL vs NTSC clock frequencies. The mod I did, nearly three decades ago, was to add a toggle switch with a second crystal that would change the clock frequency and allow the PAL game to be played on an NTSC system. Wait a few seconds while the game booted up and then switch back and enjoy the unreleased in North America "Terranigma".

You should look at LINQ in C#/.net . The SQL-like syntax always has a function-first equivalent, that gets across this point fairly eloquently.
