That Sam Kriss article is a wonderful read!

"If you let AI do your writing, I will come to your house and kill you"

Thank you for posting.


Dipa Chaudhuri and Puneet Gupta, who undertook the epic translation project, tell us about the many challenges they faced, and the fun they had along the way.

The entire commencement program is here. Woz speaks at around the 42-minute mark.

This one looks completely different from the short as well. There are now 3 known versions of this same line and all are different. Is it possible he gave the same speech to multiple audiences on that day?

There're like 3 commencements

I thought this was a thoughtful take by an American based on a trip to China. The author's New York Times feature was also worth reading in full.

Great read about a niche topic!

I know almost nothing about Vietnam, but this article felt like I had visited.


One more fact that might be interesting about natural diamonds: not all of them are extracted by digging mines; the oldest way of extracting diamonds is by sifting through alluvial deposits.

This method originated centuries ago in India. In fact, until the 18th century, this was the only known method. The most famous origin of alluvial diamonds is the Godavari-Krishna river delta in the old Golconda Sultanate. This particular site was exhausted about 200 years ago, making Golconda diamonds especially precious now.


Ha, ha! I thought the same thing: LLM slop. But soon I remembered having seen this Linotype ad before. It's a genuine image. Almost 140 years ago, some human writer came up with short, punchy copy.

Look what these AI companies have done to us. We see the shadow of slop everywhere.


The poster didn't use "quietly", so I knew it wasn't slop! (Seriously, what's the deal with "quietly" in AI writing?)


For understanding this type of question, I highly recommend the C FAQ compiled by Steve Summit based on Usenet discussions in the comp.lang.c newsgroup.

You should start here:

https://c-faq.com/expr/evalorder2.html

I cannot recommend the C FAQ enough. It is written in an accessible way and contains proper references to textbooks and standards.

Disclosure: I was one of the contributors.


Congratulations, and good luck! It should become very popular.

We enjoy going to a similar pinball museum here in Pawtucket, RI, which you might be familiar with:

> WFC is a console application that depends only on the standard library. Get .NET Core for Windows, Linux or macOS...

Not very familiar with dotnet: does the above sentence mean it's an SDK that can produce svelte binaries that depend only on the C standard library? I thought the final executable required a whole runtime?


Read that as "only depends on the base dotnet runtime." I think the C# compiler at least can emit native code these days, but I'm not primarily a dotnet dev either so not too familiar with that.
