You were a juror during a civil trial? Is that a thing? Where?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_Unite...

> In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law

47/50 states also provide for this right in their constitutions. the remaining three don't have it in their constitution but still have legislation or rules supporting it


everyone is laboring under the assumption that things will continue approximately as normal because what the hell else do you do? how, as amazon, would you plan for the collapse of all economies and markets? sure, as maybe an amazon exec you plan for you and yours, but amazon the behemoth? its got nothing.

the context doesn't appear to change the key facts here? he did say it, he meant it, and the context provided by the OP (he was asked what he'd do if he were dictator for a day) is accurate?

I have no interest at all in defending whatever place the claim may have come from but this doesnt seem to change anything


but can you imagine the horror of just showing up at a restaurant and asking to be seated? It's surely worth it

How many times have you had a model start compacting already before getting back to you? Most have 1 million context window. It's happened to me occasionally

I don't use agents. I like to code and AI with a REPL.

that example of getting wooden blocks for a 9 year old child isn't going to go down well.

Thats more of a 2 year old thing...

I'm also a little worried about their example of "two buyer messages contain instructions to refund and reprice the store" - the intent is clearly to show the agent refusing the command, but the fact it has made it into it's context here shows this is a terrible idea


I know what you’re saying buuut https://www.areaware.com/collections/blockitecture is amazing and really fun. A 9 year old may scoff but a 29 year old might see new desk decor.

This has nothing to do with Claude - just showing neat things out into the world for people to find.


I get a 404

hey, I'm not super familliar with webassembly interpreters in general so id ask here:

What's the usecase? like I guess edge, chrome etc already have their own interpreters for webassembly built in. do you aim to replace those and be bundled with them?

Or is this for other browsers? or even just other apps (whats the usecase there as opposed to just native execution)


Wasmi does not directly compete with the large JIT engines such as Wasmtime and V8. Instead, Wasmi tries to fit perfectly into its niche. Its main purpose is that it is very easy to embed and provides great performance for those use-cases.

As detailed in the article, Wasmi is already used a lot for plugin systems, as game engine, as engine for executing smart contracts, and even as engine to run apps in experimental operating systems that have native Wasm support. It is also useful for cloud hosts that do not trust their inputs but need fast startup times and deterministic execution.

Furthermore, there are platforms such as iOS that outright forbid using JITs, so interpreters are the only option.

Fun fact: Wasm interpreter usually can even be embedded into Wasm environments themselves by compiling them to Wasm. Wasmi ran inside Wasmtime when it was used at Parity Technologies. This allowed them to hot-patch the Wasm runtime (Wasmi) without downtime.


TFA's third paragraph:

> Wasmi is an efficient and feature-rich WebAssembly (Wasm) interpreter. It is an excellent choice for IoT devices, plugin systems (Typst, Zellij, Josh), cloud hosts, smart contracts (Soroban, Ripple) and even for your lightweight game consoles (Firefly Zero).


gpt4.5 was also one such disaster for them iirc

motivation is absolutely huge. There was a survey of language learners iirc and the most common reason for learning a language all the way to fluency was because it was a a significant other's mother tongue.

Heck, thats my motivation for my language learning right now!

I've heard people say that once you get one learned this way, other languages are easier, because you're much more clear eyed about the process (though few truly go beyond 4 or 5 to a high level)


what's going on with these overlays? the readme is presenting those as though they are evidence of the accuracy of the project, but its completely unable to line up the shots

AI generated everything. Dude probably didn't even look at the examples.
