Today's models are far from autonomous thinking machines. It is a cognitive bias among the masses that agree. It is just a giant calculator. It predicts "the most probable next word" from a sea of all combinations of next words.
Anybody out there who has tried to convert js to ast and back and got OOM?! (I tried @babel/parser). I pray this one doesn't disappoint.
Oh, and comments!!! My general observation is that one cannot capture the comments when code is generated from ast. Although esprima has something in the standard to this effect, implementations generally stuck with weird commenting styles and how to generate code from them...for e.g
Did anyone do an analysis on what happens after the test? Like in nodejs if we keep the application running after the so called test and left it idle for 1 or more hours. Does the memory come down?
A raspberry-pi might do better than this calculator. Besides comparing different things, a calculator's main design goal should be to assist with calculations and last for a long time. Anything beyond that it is overkill. If your goal is to visualize-and-study, use a PC.
The language died because of Microsoft tried to woo java developers into using the .net ecosystem. So whenever the CLR got more features, C# (rather than VB) started supporting them more readily. Experience wise, it looked more elegant in c# than in vb.
VB originally wasn't thought of as an OOP language. But through vb.net when that paradigm was "imported", the language lost its charm.
Further more, web development took flight. No one was interested to build desktop applications anymore.
Also I wouldn't say the influx of java developers into the .net ecosystem was that considerable. (Or for that matter other platform developers like python, delphi). It was definitely slow during the 2002s. Because the java ecosystem had achieved code-once-and-run-any-where paradigm. You could write desktop applications developed on windows, on, linux machines. From a business POV why would application developers "want" a different ecosystem to achieve this?
Not sure if AutoHotKey is the tool for this, but, I am looking for a functionality such that, when I get a ping from MS Teams (say), I want some other system in my home network to notify me of it - perhaps a notification in my android phone?
It does, but it is extremely limited. The StreamDeck plugin covers essentially the entire (local) API surface. From what I glanced, it might even have been created for the Stream Deck plugin.
For everything else, you can either parse a log (have fun!) or ask your AD admin to create credentials so you can use graph API after an OIDC handshake (also have fun!)
Harari doesn't pose the question to the reader! Europe's obsessions with exploration and conquests were driven by the scientific revolution. He does say that China could have very well done they part in it, but the Chinese rulers had no such global ambitions. With all this, it is a little premature to conclude that we are what we are because of our history. Although that is apparent if you look at it with that kind of objectiveness. But it could have been very well the Chinese if fate wanted it to be.
It was a DIY pre-covid project. It was meant for me to locate my bike in an open-air parking lot meant for two-wheelers. The circuit wasn't perfect. Here are some videos/pics:
