I’d wager it can probably a few percents of the full runtime. But no matter the variation in the time it takes for LLMs to generate outputs (depending on the nb of tokens produced/input size) likely drowns it completely. Like 5s+/

For me it has helped with: - boilerplate/quick prototyping - unit tests - quick start with a new language/library that I don’t really know But yes, once the codebase starts to grow ever so slightly the only use I found is a glori

Yes, used to work on a system that has elasticsearch and also some custom Word2Vec models. What had the most impact on the quality of the search is ES and on the quality of our W2V model were tokenization and a custom ngrams system.

I have seen lab grown diamond being quite a bit cheaper than mined ones for a while now. As in ×2 to ×3 times cheaper even. And yes, funnily it seems that the purer a diamond is (clear, few impurities etc) the higher its price/carat, u

At least depends on the approach and use: stuff like outlines ( https://github.com/outlines-dev/outlines ) that actually changes the sampling to adhere to a grammar and can be used with local/custom models shouldn&#

Back in University the prolog class required us to pick a game and write a small "AI" opponent for this game in prolog. Either people loved the whole different paradigm of logical programming and were really invested or they just

I am just glad to see I am not the only one making up imaginary scenario where I bring people from the past to have them marvel at our world.

Yeah, I did enjoy the books, but the characters are not great and the prose pretty basic, the romances fall flat etc. But the more you go on the more interesting science fiction are brought up. Overall I thought that these were some great a

I think the issue that most people have is also that companies expect a certain level of respect and dedication from their employees but are not willing to reciprocate. Make sure to work as hard as possible for us, pleas work extra hours if

As much as I agree that people should try to avoid companies with bad ethics, it is not always that simple. I know some junior in tech that need to send 300+ applications for even just an internship and it is not uncommon for even more seas

Yes. I feel like people often solely focus on CO2 emissions as the only metric. Especially some detractors of ecological pushes and regulations. Like "it doesn't really decrease CO2 output, so what the point", or "it&#x2

I guess that depends on habits and preferences, but I much prefer my sturdy reusable bags over the basic plastic bags. Sure I do sometimes forget to bring my reusable bags, but even environmental reasons aside I hate plastic bags. It makes

It is a bias that many people with only a passing interest in history sadly have: that the more far back you go the dumber/less sophisticated people were. The more you look at historical evidence the more you see that, quite logically,

Reminds me of the Chauvet Cave in France, which also holds cave-painting, where the large number of visitors changed the atmosphere of the cave, causing mold and damaging the paintings. To preserve it a replica cave ended up being built for

Yes, that whole Fukushima radioactive water release polemic was a little bit ridiculous.

From what I remember wasn't it just drama for the sake of drama and general fearmongering? The radioactive water that was released was treated and diluted, to have a radioactivity way below what is allowed and safe for ocean release. T

I would disagree. Windows users care about the bugs, but not about reporting them. How many times do I see reviews on steam like "great game but too many bug / game breaking bug X" so 2/10. Most users just experience the

Wondering too. It does look like it though. It has that noisyness / fuzziness that makes it sometimes a bit too random compared to earth continents. I found that it works best for earth like map simulations (with water basically) when

True. Just because someone uses some else research to push a bad narrative doesn't mean the initial research is bad. But in this case it fairly certainly is. Either by lack of scientific rigor, if not worse. Doesn't make much sens

Exactly. There might be some traces of human passage dating 10000 years ago. But basically what we have is: surface-ish level construction, then a bunch of stones they interpret as old masonry but that is more likely natural, with deeper po

I think where I have seen people take issue is that there seems to be a push for "10000 year old pyramid". In short the measurements are correct the conclusions wrong. They split things into 4 big layers, unit 1,2, ancient soil fi

As they briefly mention in the article, the dates provided are, to say the least, debated. Contrary to what they seem to imply the consensus is that the pyramid is much more recent than 10000 years. As a general better be weary of all those
