So you're telling me the speed difference between Python and C is due not to
the logic that the programmer uses, but rather the optimization capabilities
of the compiler?
(An interpreter includes a compiler, it just runs it in a loop rather than a
single pass)

something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist

it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about

also it's only undefined behavior because the order of the bits aren't
defined, so if you do bitfield "pointer arithmetic" then you're screwed if you
try and be portable with it. However if you're just using bitfields as
compressed data storage then you can safely access integer.a integer.b
integer.c etc safely and easily. The compiler doesn't care what order they're
in if you don't write logic that requires them to be in a certain order

nobody wants to write computer code that lets Java programs call Rust
functions.
An LLM is excellent for this task, since it's relatively easy busy work that
doesn't
reflect any meaningful implementation decisions besides "I should be able to
call that Rust function in my Java code"
In addition, it is technically efficient at it as well, because most of
compatibility
is matching up two sets of documentation. Easy for a text-processing machine.

Coding superpower:
Start thread
While(true):
Run();
Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
that run() uses to call a function
At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

it's trivial to run a C compiler inside of a lua interpretation of a script.
And vice versa - you could totally run lua functions from C. Just point to the
spot in memory where they're stored / operating, and call
"update_class_exhibitor_type_d()" and the linker will come along and say "huh
this looks like something from this library that's part of the requirements up
above" (the "includes" section is where you say which files include the
functions you're going to be calling) and in this particular case it would see
that you need to start up a lua interpreter inside of the [either compiler or
running program I can't remember] to properly execute the function of the
function that you're pointing at with a lua-pointer style data object which is
part of a struct that stores all the other lua functions in a spot in memory.
this would enable you to write computer programs in whatever language you
choose, and build them into one large project. Essentially opening up software

concurrent is when the two lines are split up into chunks and the program
switches between them - like this: -----_----
enter alternate universe
parallel is when two programs operate on the same axis - usually time - and
never interfere with each other. the OS will switch between them as
appropriate to make sure they never intersect. Sorta like this: -----_----

there is a reason to be annoyed, and that reason is that storing numbers as
"dynamically typed" string values is both inefficient and frustrating due to
the bugs it provokes.
Not sure how common those bugs are in HTML, but dynamically typed languages
like Python and Javascript have a whole class of potential errors that are
significantly more difficult to debug than on C or Rust where the variables
are statically typed

I love this a lot! I want to put function pointers in a "matrix architecture
array" and make them point to different functions at different points in the
program. I bet you could even point them at each other, so like if M and Y
then point at N, A, Y or something.
this is really cool I like stuff like this tomorrow I'll take pictures of

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

the neat thing about BASH is that it's the glue that holds all your other code

be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add

installed from many different sources and correctly configured each
installation to be able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite
libraries are installed, even if they're installed for a different system.
Then, when running, every time it encountered an error, it moved one more
dependency over to the native package manager until eventually everything is
in order.
... or something like that, truth be told I'm a junior

yeah that's probably better too since it'll be easier so there'll be fewer
bugs, especially since processing audio isn't usually performance critical ^_^
TBH I just want people to make more threading primitives like locks,
semaphores, and iterators. Like... thread pools, or hashmaps that run a
function on each record stored within every time each of the threads passes a
checkpoint, or paginated arrays of data that run a function on themselves and
the records near them (with slightly different input values, of course) idk
what those are called but I can't resist putting them in everything
Anyway I do think multithreading programs that don't need it will teach you to
be a better programmer, so... depends on what you're working on I guess. Are
you preparing to be ready and working, or are you ready and working?

trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and
frameworks at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem
they face.
the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
people can't even understand when to *use* them much less how they work.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

AI that can't run on a laptop is useless.
But AI that can run on a laptop (even now) is still useful.
Just, don't ask it to compose a masterpiece, solve all your problems, or write
elegant code. It's not for that.
Instead, ask your chatbot "hi can you fix these syntax errors?" on your
pseudocode.
Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or
perhaps "can you ask these numbers in the form of a question?"
Use your tools not for their intended purpose, but rather for your own stated
goals. Make things easier for people, make things work.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with all the boilerplate I just start coding
and making stuff. Doesn't matter if it works, doesn't matter if it says /*
FIXME */ all over the place, doesn't matter if it includes header files that
don't exist yet, as long as you're hacking out the mechanics of whatever
operations you need to perform then you can figure the rest of that stuff out
later. The creative urge doesn't last forever, which is why projects get
abandoned, but with discipline you can keep bringing yourself back to fix all
the /* FIXME */'s and the compiler errors.

I think you're right. Every letter in the variable name is another byte the OS
has to keep track of, which was a bigger problem in the past than it is today
(when it's been made irrelevant)
it's interesting how habits persist though the conditions that caused them
have faded. like a personal reflection of the environment you learned in.
"A a = new a();" is much more concise and (crucially) you can fit more words
to the right.
"a + b = c; c -= 2; f_z.write(c); f_z.close();" could conceivably be written
on a single line if you have short variable names. and when you only have so
many lines...
glad we're not constrained by those things anymore. the skeletal code that we
look at daily is much clearer - scope is more important, and so it makes sense
to encourage a coding style that illustrates it. however I can't help but
think block formatting like this could be useful in some situations, such as
when you'd normally be compelled to write a function for an operation that
runs once or more.

may be accomplished more ethically. It's okay to say "let's leave this as

it doesn't compile, it's not finished, but I wrote it as-is

because mastodon thinks it's an invalid file]
[actually .txt didn't work, try .png]
[hmmm it realized it wasn't a valid png file, okay try screenshotting the
code, there's only 300 lines]
[sure glad there's only 300 lines]
[too bad it won't let you send .zip]
[won't let me name it main.png, presumably because they already have a
failed-verified version on their machine. will rename to main-src.png instead]

it's trivial to script together a local LLM that can process your stuff 1s
slower every time you click the mouse, but like... who cares, right? everybody

then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a

and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it)
like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could

there's SO MUCH of your text-based information that they could process
ANYTHING.
well, anything that's been performed before.

All I want for my mobile computing is the ability to use the interface of
android to access resources and perform tasks that are relevant to my primary
computer. Like, a mainframe with the phone as a terminal. Except instead of
text, it's buttons and sliders and all the things that mobile UI experts have
spent so much time carefully crafting.

Branches cause cache misses which are slow when done on repeat.
Better to structure your code to avoid them, if possible, for example by using
an array of function pointers instead of switch statements.
unrelated, but once the data is cached from memory, operations like bit
shifting and arithmetic are essentially free. The slowest part of the process
is moving data from RAM to cache so that the CPU can use it.
That being said, CPUs and compilers are VERY good at optimizing that type of
thing these days.

maybe the user could tell their client what fields to expect and how to

that extracts the most common 6+ letter words so you can tell at a glance what
the rant is about, this other field could be for calendar invites (plain text
of course, but interpreted by the calendar program) etc)
plus, if it's encrypted with PGP keys by default, there'd be few security
concerns. Unless your friend got hacked, or you got hacked, but, well... make
sure everything's sandboxed and don't do any remote code execution and you're

hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
raspberry pi's except risc-v
also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
jpeg compression but for text.
Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
utilities like that for connectivity.
oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
about it. I might even be able to pay you.
(everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
encrypted, etc etc)
