Unfortunately not for nested inline nodes, like spans of text with formatting. For a lot of uses, that will be OK - but for rendering say, markdown text, Satori won't work. The upstream layout engine handles flexbox layout, and it&#x27

Does this depend on a browser? It looks like it doesn't - which is pretty impressive!

Postgres' query planner is likely considering random vs sequential page costs, and preferring an index scan on created_at. What are the current values of `random_page_cost` and `seq_page_cost`? SHOW seq_page_cost; SHOW random

Oh, I see. That must be frustrating to folks at OpenAI. Their product rests on the quality of their models, and making users unable to see which results came from their best doesn't help. FWIW, GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo via developer API c

Are you aware you're using GPT-3 or weaker in those chats? The green icon indicates that you're using the first generation of ChatGPT models, and it is likely to be GPT-3.5 Turbo. I'm unsure but it's possible that it&#x2

In undergrad, some of us math majors would joke that there's really only three quantities: 0, 1, infinity. So, do we need the -1, and/or would a 2.32 bit (5 state, or 6 with +/-0) LLM perform better than a 1.58 bit LLM?

If you can dig in further - prompt engineer out - the prompt for minors that would be fascinating to report out.

Most university athletic programs are unprofitable, if examined solely through the lens of outlays vs direct revenue. It's of course harder to measure the consequences on recruitment, alumni attachment to the school, etc. https:/

There will always be more data that could be relevant than fits in a context window, and especially for multi-turn conversations, huge contexts incur huge costs. GPT-4 Turbo, using its full 128k context, costs around $1.28 per API call. A

Interesting! Reminds me a great deal of Judy Arrays: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_array Judy Arrays are a radix trie with branching and a few node types designed to be cache line width optimized.

Those businesses operating at a loss are a tiny fraction of the "real economy", even though they may be giants in the future.

Variance would be good, and I've also seen significant variance on "cold" request patterns, which may correspond to resources scaling up on the backend of providers. Would be interesting to see request latency and throughput

Substantially different. Talos is a Linux operating system distribution tailored for running Kubernetes and container workloads. It runs runc, containerd, and other binaries, which spawn containers which themselves run at the same level of

If there were a virtual kubelet per unit of granularity (datacenter, in their case?) then you would be able to use affinity rules just fine.

Important to remember that the distributions here are multi-modal, so averages don't represent the data well. For AAA games I think you're way off. Looking at the 5 top played games in 2023, "main story" to "complet

The Linux 6.6 kernel ships with a new default scheduler[1]. Is the testing methodology in this paper relevant and used to assess the current (EEVDF) scheduler, or is it irrelevant? [1] - https://lwn.net/Articles/925371&

If vendors were required to conform to standards, I suspect we would have had something like RCS a lot sooner.

Imagine a search engine that tries to persuade you a sponsored product is the answer to your problems, and it can use its knowledge about you to do so. I think search products will be OK - it will just be stranger than we expect.

Is macOS Dynamic Caching similar to Windows hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling[1]? That feature purports improve latency and GPU scheduling efficiency. Is the feature here that the OS is delegating more scheduling to the M3's ASC copr

I think that's an ahistorical reading of events. They did have the opportunity, but there were very few languages doing what Go was at the time it was designed. My recollection of the C# 3 to 5 and .NET 3 to 4.5 is a bit muddled, but i

Ah, thanks for the correction! That's right. But: 1. Did JS introduce this change after Go's creation? Yes. (And also after C#.) 2. Did arrow functions support precede let and const support? Yes. Answering the second question and

Oh, today I learned. I think this was an issue in Scala (with `var`), but this seems like a great compromise for Java core. I suppose Java had many years after C#'s introduction of closures to reflect on what went well and what did not

Many languages have made this mistake, despite having engineers and teams with many decades or centuries of total experience working on programming languages. Almost all languages have the loop variable semantics Go chose: C/C++, Java,

The C# language team encountered this as well, after introducing lightweight closures in C# 4.0 it quickly became apparent that this was a footgun. Users almost always used loop variables incorrectly, and C# 5.0 made the breaking change. Er
