Hash collisions are possible but can be provably so rare that they’re not a relevant concern.

It’s a useful start to move away from “it’s just random” but it’s just so different it doesn’t help in many cases. It’s not approximately the same.

It doesn’t need to do all of a job to reduce total jobs in an area. Remove the programming part then you can reduce the number of people for the same output and/or bring people who can’t program but can do the other parts into the fold

It’s about what you want to tie to which system. Let’s say you keep some data in memory in your backend, would you forbid engineers from putting code there too, and force it a layer out to the front end - or make up a new layer in between t

I think the point here is that it’s not adding agents on top but the improvements in the models allow the agentic flow.

Do any providers do this level of granularity? Anthropic require explicit cache markers, for example.

It gets used massively in a conversation, also anything that has a lot of explain actions in the system prompt means you have a large matching prefix.

While I know there's going to be a lot of complications in this, given a quick search it seems like these GPUs are ~$2/hr, so $4000-4500 if you don't just have access to a cluster. I don't know how important the cluster

I like the way that people add “a friendly reminder” like they’re just jogging your memory of a well known fact. Publishers have been fighting OA for an incredibly long time. They are not foisting this on people because it’s a new great sch

Thanks for making a service where people can pay for a thing to happen, rather than an account and subscription and … I often get frustrated at how hard it can be to give someone money to perform a service I want them to do and they want to

That has nothing to do with this, those are things that should still be solved at a much higher level of abstraction. Tax the energy, pollution, waste - those have problems regardless of what caused them.

This is further info because I think it’s interesting rather that any sort of correction but fMRI doesn’t quite measure blood flow - at least not directly. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood have slightly different magnetic properties. So th

Arguably the outcome you’d want there is to be able to add your own kettle to the coffee maker, so you can have the best value/option for you if you want it. Want a cheap thing or none? Fine. Want one with remote start and modded temp

I think you’re picturing the unit test case the opposite way around to me, but what I see relies on having something generated for you. While a unit test case will also pass the weak specs, there exist spec meeting implementations that don’

Disposable income is essentially just income after tax. It’s the amount you have where you get to direct where it goes / how you dispose of it. It’s not money after essentials. There are many ways to slice it but the US median income i

There are three takes that I think are not depressing: * Being excited to be able to write the pieces of code they want, and not others. When you sit down to write code, you do not do everything from scratch, you lean on libraries, compiler

A few things here, one is that getting them mixed up isn't the same as them ending up in the wrong place. Looking fruitlessly for a missing user with id 9287dfn9384f that has some support ticket only to find out later that this was the

He's not talking about intelligence though, he's saying it has no knowledge or understanding, whereas something like a decision tree or neural net object recognition model does.

I'd argue that his point is worse than this. He's not comparing them to humans, he attributes knowledge/understanding (enough to pass his bar for "is AI") to yolov5 models, xgboost trained trees and as far as I can
