The Wikipedia page of PyTorch does list C++ as a language. And you can just check the code. It's C++.

And the average product is solving much easier problems (in terms of low-level programming, which is where the worst bugs tend to be) than a high-performance database.
Maybe some math departments could pay OpenAI for access to their models, but I doubt OpenAI would want to deal with most of them.
Yes, and the machines can do intellectual work now.
It's funny to see some commenters here cheer as the leopard eats the mathematicians' faces, when we can all see that the software developers are next in line.
They hack better (faster, at least) than humans if you have thousands of dollars to spend.
Can you afford to spend that money regularly pentesting all the code you have your AI to write for you, though?
And if you can't, then what link is there between being good at hacking, and being good at writing secure code?
(Those aren't rhetorical questions.)
Another one: When will Bun (at this point a mostly Claude-written project, managed by Anthropic themselves) become at least as secure or reliable as Node.js (a mostly human-written project)? If you're right, it should be any day now. And maybe you are right - maybe by tomorrow Claude will have written a formal proof that Bun is memory-safe and it'll never segfault again.
Don't the bots still need to do the proof of work for Anubis? They can't "async" their way out of that work.
> Another web is possible but web populists don't really believe it.
How? Sharing knowledge with the world used to be an obviously good thing. Now it's a way to help tech companies replace people with machines. What alternative web could change this state of things?
For many people it's shame. Feeling like you're mentally a child while everyone around you is an adult can't be a good feeling.
But why would you even want that? They like it in the simulation, and nobody really wants to deal with them outside the simulation.
Maybe it's about the joy of learning something new every time you cook. Having Michelin star restaurants in your neighborhood would add to that joy, not take away from it.
> I would like to believe that many people will still choose reality and real relationships.
Why would you like to believe that?
We are watching machines rapidly match and surpass humans at countless skills that were considered uniquely human mere months ago - skills that demanded a lot of creativity and insight. Some of our oldest fields of study (e.g., mathematics) are turning into a game of who can spend the most tokens.
I think the humans are entitled to complain a little.
Right, their decline is because of the thing that they've been accused of since the very beginning, and not the trillion-dollar technology that replaces them. Brilliant take.
It can be an ethical stance based on facts, rather than religious-like. AI has no shortage of ethical issues that could stop someone from using it.
Comparing these people to religious or MAGA types - who believe in things that are false or at least unprovable - is farcical.
STAR has been used approximately nowhere. STAR is also one of the few seriously advocated-for voting methods in which it's possible for the first choice of a majority to lose, although that isn't likely to happen in practice.
Plus, if a human puts the effort into writing something, that signals to me that it's worth something, because human time is much more scarce than LLM time.
It's not green threads (and maybe not lightweight threads; there are so many names for things that may or may not be considered the same...) in the sense of stackful coroutines, but either way, it's a userspace implementation of multitasking on top of a smaller number of OS threads, which is the part that's relevant to my question.
