C++ adds so many additional security footguns over C, that I find this line of reasoning hard to accept. The problem with C++ is not that people are using C constructs with it, the problem is that the language design itself is deficient. Ar

The problem is AMD is not #2 in this field, not by a long shot. Google and Amazon offer their own hardware that is both better supported and actually available for customers. Apple has fast inference hardware in every computer and mobile de

Have you ever talked to a professional therapist or are you talking out of your own ignorance? While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, almost every single word of what you said is wrong. Readers beware.

A very interesting read, and surprisingly accessible. They walk through the decipherment process step by step, explaining the logic at each point. Quite fascinating glimpse into the past.

It is GPU accelerated and very smooth since late last year. Battery life is about 6-8 hours on an M1 air for me, and should improve significantly with this latest upgrade (haven't measured yet). The installation experience is very smoo

I stopped using C# & F# almost a decade ago, but there are some relevant pieces of information that answer your questions: 1. Optimization is primarily handled by the .Net JIT, not the C# compiler. That allows F#, C#, VB.Net and other r

If AI maintains a decent rate of advancement, it will eventually become possible to just ask an AI to... rewrite it in a different language. You can already give GPT a decent-sized chunk of C code and ask it to rewrite it in, say, Rust, and

While this is indeed a very bad incident, this is also 6 years old at this point. Assuming that nothing has changed or was learnt since that incident is a pretty uncharitable reading.

LLMs are fully deterministic in that sense: same input, same outputs. Because full determinism is not always desirable, the researchers have implemented an explicit "temperature" parameter that you can use to inject randomness to
