Docker runs better on Linux. And Linux doesn't reboot unless told to do so. And you can SSH into it rather than run some sort of long winded GUI. Oh, and it doesn't phone home all the time with 'telemetry'.
I do my work on this PC. And even though almost all of it is on WSL, the rest of the OS just works better than any Linux I've tried. And I'm no stranger to Linux. My first was the Ubuntu Dapper Drake CD they used to mail out for free. So I put up with all the abuse :(
I have a fully functional Arch Linux on a secondary SSD, but it's just a pain to deal with all the Bluetooth audio quirks, the uncanny valley GUI, incomplete app support, etc. I'll muster enough willpower one day to fully make the arch boot by default.
I switched to Linux in 2018, and I hear you on the quirks. But now, an LLM can fix basically any quirk you hit. I’ve been surprised multiple times. I’m also on Pop OS, which feels more batteries-included than Ubuntu.
Kinda cuts into their revenue streams if they can't release anything better/faster/stronger.
Also for all the hype for AGI, or whatever the current tag is, it is getting stopped dead in it's track if they can't go beyond private release to the public.
And if they do release these to the public, are the releases going to be so brain dead due to brain-blocks, is it going to be worth it?
What is the whole point, then, of making these models bigger/better?
I wish these articles would provide some idea as to the development environments. Are these captive large C++ environments, or general 'everyone does this' web development with React, or something in between?
You could try running notepad++ in wine, the windows emulator
But I suppose that doesn't really answer your question. Linux is/was a compendium of a bunch of little tools you string together. Many/Most/All of the items in Notepad++ can be found as smaller independent tools.
The real addicts will use console tools like VIM or EMACS to do their editing (not really GUI, but powerful).
As an alternate alternate, try using Visual Studio Code (VSC). Not quite as light weight as Notepad++, but very functional.
On Linux, I'll use KWrite to do my basic editing. I'll revert to VSC when heavy editing is required.
I'm not a Rust programmer, yet, but this is enticing. This appears to be building a language to be compiled with LLVM as a standalone executable.
However, in C++ there is a mechanism via libraries such as Boost::Spirit where a parser can be built inline and compiled inline (no separate compilation step) and used within the C++ application on input streams.
Is this a capability available within the Rust ecosystem?
Will these intro AI systems then mature to be senior devs who can then mentor more junior AIs? Then we won't need any devs? Isn't that the end goal, AI runs the company and we can all go fishing?
To go along with this, the ACM has a recent article on Automatically Translating C to Rust. It gets into the challenges of 'understanding code and structure' so that the end result reflects the intent of the code, not the actual execution paths.
Is there an easier way to get around all the complicated cookie selection? I don't care if they have 183 trackers. Do I need all those? Are the important to me? I suppose they are important to them. Isn't there just a 'no to all' or at least a 'just the bare minimum for state management'?
'The trade, dubbed a “box spread,” carried a kind of mystique. By combining two opposing options positions — one bullish, one bearish — Yang built a strategy that mimics a fixed-rate loan: upfront cash now, repayment at a set date, and a locked-in cost in between.'
Not entirely; it's doesn't necessarily involve taking advantage of price discrepancies in different "markets" of the same asset, or contract so to speak in this case, and so it doesn't necessarily lead to "guaranteed" profit in the way that arbitrage does.
