Does anyone else remember when they were mad about student loan forgiveness people said yeah but what about these covid loans and it was like pffff that was to keep business in business dumb child!
Agree. Codex just read my source code for a toy lisp I wrote in ARM64 assembly and learned how to code in that lisp and wrote a few demo programs for me. The was impressive enough. Then it spent some time and effort to really hunt down some problems--there was a single bit mask error in my garbage collector that wasn't showing up until then. I was blown away. It's the kind of thing I would have spent forever trying to figure out before.
I've been writing a little port of the SeL4 OS kernel to rust, mostly as a learning exercise. I ran into a weird bug yesterday where some of my code wasn't running - qemu was just exiting. And I couldn't figure out why.
I asked codex to take a look. It took a couple minutes, but it managed to track the issue down using a bunch of tricks I've never seen before. I was blown away. In particular, it reran qemu with different flags to get more information about a CPU fault I couldn't see. Then got a hex code of the instruction pointer at the time of the fault, and used some tools I didn't know about to map that pointer to the lines of code which were causing the problem. Then took a read of that part of the code and guessed (correctly) what the issue was. I guess I haven't worked with operating systems much, so I haven't seen any of those tricks before. But, holy cow!
Its tempting to just accept the help and move on, but today I want to go through what it did in detail, including all the tools it used, so I can learn to do the same thing myself next time.
Interestingly it found a GC bug in my toy Lisp that I wrote in Z80 assembly almost 30 years ago. This kind of work appears to be more common than you'd think!
Or even just get the passover ones in plastic bottles here in the US when they're in season. It tastes different. Whether you care or like it better or worse, it tastes different.
According to the WSJ this is because "Food scientists have noted subtle differences between the sweeteners: High-fructose corn syrup’s sweetness intensity tends to peak earlier, enhancing fruit and spice flavors, while sugar’s profile is broader and lingers."
>> We don’t hire skills. We hire people, with personal qualities. They are a whole package. We ask about academic attainment on the basis that it – all the way back to school days, even for a candidate later in life – is a strong indicator of many personal qualities and abilities, including performance at work.
Huh, interesting, considering that they knowingly hired a convicted child rapist.
You know why. So does everyone that uses this copypasta argument.
