Oh, like the LLM OS?

Sure. Reading a book is a much more difficult and ultimately, productive, task than writing a book.

Ok I will bite. Every single example you gave is in a hobby project territory. Relatively self-contained, maintainable by 3-4 devs max, within 1k-10k lines of code. I've been successfully using coding agents to create such projects for

We squash, but still rebase. For us, this works quite well. As you said, rebasing needs to be done carefully... But the main history does look nice this way.

Yeah. It's pretty telling to look at profiles of people who replied to his tweet.

Well put. The standard practice is to hire a scientist and a developer, both with deep expertise, and have them work together. For a successful collaboration, it's obviously desirable for them to have some cross-disciplinary skills or

Some examples: machine learning scientists and engineers; quants and (quant) developers. In either case, you're primarily either a developer or a scientist/researcher. Unless you're at an early stage startup or in a principal

Personally, hard disagree. There were improvements, yes, but the last year felt particularly stagnant to me

That's a good point

Did you claim the same a year or two ago? Why or why not?

I'd argue it's not CEOs job to code his own dashboards... This sounds like a vibe coding side project. And I'm sorry, but whatever he builds will most likely become tech debt that has to be rewritten at some point.

The first comment is the definition of a data race, not preventing race conditions. And data races are trivial (sure, no static prevention in C++)

What does rust have to do with thread safety and race conditions? Is rust going to synchronize shared memory access for me? Speaking seriously, they surely meant data races, right? If so, what's preventing me from using C++ atomics to

The article is focused exclusively on the US. What about the rest of the world? From what I've heard, it's a similar situation?

How does this compare to Asahi in 2025? In my experience, Asahi's been great

This has to be organic and is not guaranteed to happen. You can't just arbitrarily declare a conference "top tier".

NeurIPS scoring system is inherently subjective. People will have wildly different interpretations of, say, 3 vs 4, or 4 vs 5. You can get lucky and draw only reviewers that, on average, "overrate" papers in their batch. The oppos

There's two main problems. First, the field is too saturated -- too many people publishing papers. Second, the reviewers are the same people that publish papers -- it's a zero sum game (regardless of acceptance criteria). Submissi

Respectfully, I disagree. I understand people have vastly different experiences and preferences. In my ideal world, a PR is a unit of work that has an in-state and an out-state. I don't have to see an initial commit within a PR with a

by William_BB 1y ago
PR is the atomic level of work. I'd argue PR-level history (i.e. squash) is often enough and is way cleaner. Why would I care about "commit A", "change parts of A because I misunderstood a requirement", "improv

Could you elaborate on SVE and SVE2? Is that because it's only 128 bits? I think my Macbook (Apple silicon) is one of the two

Local UK rankings have always been BS. The only rankings that really matter are international ones. Even then, I'm a strong believer that the best you can do when ranking universities is ranking them in tiers. The ranking within the ti

Out of curiosity, how would one go about implementing this in C++?

I'm sorry, but this is a meaningless stat when evaluating remote work productivity. Microsoft is a huge company with a lot of momentum and so many products that you can't reasonably conclude anything about remote work from this st

This is so interesting to hear. From what I've seen, probably half of recent yc startups have founders below 30. I wonder how senior talent views being interviewed by people who are essentially junior/mid developers. I'm in m

I studied FP in college. I currently work on a large low latency C++ codebase. I honestly have no idea how I'd use pure functional concepts everywhere in this context. I'm also probably doing it wrong.

Interesting stuff. I'm a bit confused on several points though. If your strategies care so much about performance, can you really achieve the same or comparable performance with Cython? At that point, wouldn't those strategies be

You sound like you subscribe to "Orthodox C++". Speaking seriously, I agree there's definitely a lot of bloat in the new C++ standards. E.g. I'm not a fan of the C++26 linalg stuff. But most performance-focused trading f
