There is also another Mistral implementation: https://github.com/EricLBuehler/mistral.rs Not sure what the difference is, but it seems to be just be overall better received.

You are correct; however, it should be noted that even the top 1% overworks themselves to some extent (e.g. American CEOs work on average 63h per week). They do it for a different reason, though.

If you're in the office for 12h it won't matter if you're proompting, pushing pens or working your ass off. You gave that company 12h of your life. You're not getting those back.

First off, let's say I'm wrong about Alpha Evolve. Fine, I made two more points; address them as well; that's just normal manners in a conversation. Second, I question your idea of what Alpha Evolve is. You seem to think it&#

I've met more Software Architects that coded their asses off for 10+ years than pure-type astronauts. Does that make them real software architects?

I'm arguing your writing is unclear and confusing. You can't continue a sentence and pretend the new sentence isn't related to the previous one. Alpha Evolve is made from LLMs, but it's not the only part. If anything, it

You can be wrong on every step of your approximation and still be right in the aggregate. E.g. order of magnitude estimate, where every step is wrong but mistakes cancel out. Human crews on Mars is just as far fetched as it ever was. Maybe

First off Alpha Evolve isn't an LLM. No more than a human is a kidney. Second depends. If you told them to pretrain for writing C compiler however long it takes, I could see a smaller team doing it in a week or two. Keep in mind LLMs p

By recently I assume they mean since Windows 7. Alternatively since Windows 10. 2009-2015. Last decade it was misstep after misstep.

Where is the cope? I said things will suck. US gets hotter, Europe gets colder and there are cascading effects from those. Changed weather patterns and biodiversity loss as temperatures rapidly shift. That said, a new ice age it will not be

AMOC makes Europe hotter than expected, and US east coast colder. Europe is already hotter than expected. AMOC collapse in a heating world wouldn't mean much. It seems to me that whatever cooling from it will be offset by global warmin

by Ygg2 8mo ago
"Brute force" here is about the amount of data you're ingesting. It's no Alpha Zero, that will learn from scratch.

Compilers don't change output assemby based on what markdown you provide them via .claude. Or what tone of voice in prompt you gave them. Or if Saturn is in Aries or Sagittarius.

> I don't see that as a problem. It kinda is. Because it was made in the 1970s, and it shows ( cough null-terminated strings uncough ). Or you know having a 64-bit wide integer. Reliably. You did read the article, right?

Except the author has moved on from Rust, and is still fighting ABI hellscape in different language - Swift.

That only applies in an apples-to-apples comparison, i.e., same data structures, same algorithm, etc. You can't compare sorting in C and Python, but use bubble sort in C and radix sort in Python. In here there are different data struc

If the difference in performance between the target language and C++ is huge, it's probably not the language that's great, but some quirk of implementation.
