A minor inconvenience when GPT-4 has no problem learning how to use a code interpreter.


> But can't access it through my home internet, but my phone is just fine if I turn off wifi.

Thanks for the tip. I can't access it via my home provider, but T-Mobile works. Interestingly enough, I'm getting new email notifications on my home provider; I just can't read the mail through it. They're probably using an unaffected Google service for notifications.


"store them for debugging purposes" is a bit concerning if they then become available if law enforcement requests data, or if you guys are hacked and everything leaks.


Edge already refuses to install it through the .CRX file, even in developer mode. I have it installed by loading the unpacked version using these instructions:

I bought a Miele canister vacuum in 2008. Still going strong after 15 years and many pet hairs. They're built very well.


Soulver's WolframAlpha support is great, too. No need to switch to a browser to bring in some real world data.


How do you do this?


Settings > Calculator > Wolfram|Alpha. You provide a Wolfram ID from WolframAlpha and then "= ?" in a sheet will query WolframAlpha for the previous variable.

If you are on macOS, HistoryHound is a decent browser search. It supports many browsers and even text you may just want to search from a directory.

Type systems of functional languages are generally capable of representing more. You can have the type system validate application state at compile time for you, for example.

If it compiled before and worked and your refactored version also compiles, chances are you didn't break anything.

And I would say that if somebody never worked with Haskell (or some other language with a strong type system like Idris) they can bit fantom what is possible to encode in the type system.


> He clearly wants https://nim-lang.org/

I think a lot of people want Nim, but either don't know about it, or some language feature turned them off. There are a few polarizing language design choices, but every language has something. Perhaps it just needs a killer app using it in some visible fashion (e.g., Lua in Neovim and Hammerspoon).


I was turned off by the Windows Defender issue. I can't release consumer software written in Nim if every executable compiled with their toolchain is flagged as malware and the downloads silently halted.


The Nim team has been working on the false anti-virus flagging issues: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9358

For context apparently Nim had a few articles written on how to write “red team” software with it and it also got popular with malware writers. Ultimately there’s an issue with AVs being lazy and flagging all Nim binaries as malware. Some of them even ignore binaries properly signed with good keys. Just another reason AVs are terrible.


Glad to see progress on this, because I really liked Nim when I learnt it and this is my only blocker to consider it for a few personal projects.

I understand the necessity to detect known malware, but AVs are definitely terrible if they're unable to fingerprint the actual malicious code rather than the general traits of the toolchain used.

Also, signed binaries have proven close to useless since newly released binaries/installers raise a warning on Windows until several people run them anyway.


Sounds like this: http://jsquiz.wtf, but the website is now down.

Thank you for the link.

But once again, this is not it :(

This website shows you snippets of code and you have to guess the answer. The website I'm talking about showed you outputs, and you had to guess the snippet of code.
