No, you are confusing Transmeta with Transitive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTransit

They are illegal now in the UK.

'illegal' in that manufacturers add on a usb port and the basic board to tick the reusable check box.

I'm still seeing almost as many of these cast on the streets as I did a year ago.

All of the disposables I've seen have USB ports for charging because they come with more juice than battery power sufficient to vape it all. You will have to recharge multiple times for one disposable. I'm not in the UK, but I have seen something of a shift to separating the battery component from the vape tank such that you can just buy a new disposable tank and reuse the batteries. Maybe something like that might work in the UK grey areas.

Government shutdown. ATC are not being paid.

Sort your country out!

Most Americans have zero agency in the matter. We vote once a year or two, most of our states or districts aren’t competitive, and the candidates we do elect can ignore their constituents easily.

Who are you yelling at? Do you think the Trump administration reads Hacker News? What do you expect the average American taxpayer to do to fix a government shutdown?

"trollied"... perhaps the clue is in the name?

General strike. Certainly government employees should be on strike. Starting with secret service.

Not true though. Internally they can “shell out” to sub-tasks that know how to do specific things. The specific things don’t have to be models.

(I’m specifically talking about commercial hosted ones that have the capability i describe - obviously your run of the mill one downloaded off of the internet cannot do this).

yes, what your describing is not a transformer but a high-level LLM-based product with tool-calling wired up to it

That doesn't appear to be the kind of thing this article is describing.

It's not hard to get right. It's expensive to get right. And that affects pricing and profitability. You have to have a threshold.

Yup. I clicked on it, based on the title, and expected a long-form article. Not a simple library utilisation post.

I hate to say it, but this is because you are not a Java developer. It’s very easy to debug.

They should learn to write a few lines of code themselves while they wait.

Hilarious, have you got any new ones?

You can still do “unsafe” stuff in rust, and people do. It’s perfectly possible to write safe C and C++ these days. And you don’t have to deal with a borrow checker, and a very small pool of developers available to hire.

It's also very hard to do so.

The chrome team doesn't manage that, but perhaps they are just bad at C++ /s

oh, i didnt mean to invoke rust in any technical sense - i brought up rust to introduce an example of the attitude that rust people are known for, namely "why not rewrite everything?", which a lot of people have a kneejerk rejection of.

You've just reminded me NTK was a thing.
