I see you already mention diffusion - iirc there was a result not too long ago that diffusion models keep improving with more epochs for longer than AR models do.

Buy your teacher a drink! I went into university with the baggage of ten years of programming experience, mentored by my industry-experienced father. One of our profs had the exact reverse point of view (i.e. "foo == true" was acc

As someone who has always despised the usage of "foo == true" and "foo == false" in predicates instead of just "foo" or "not foo" (or "!foo"), this pleases me. That practice misses the point

Yup, as soon as data is the bottleneck and not compute, diffusion wins. Tested following the Chinchilla scaling strategy from 7M to 2.5B parameters. https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.15857

You'd be surprised how quickly improvement of autoregressive language models levels off with epoch count (though, admittedly, one epoch is a LOT). Diffusion language models otoh indeed keep profiting for much longer, fwiw.

An agent is an autonomous entity that makes goal-driven decisions in an environment it can (partially) observe, and influence through it's actions. It is a very general term.

I went to hacker events where someone would sell lock-picking tools and practice locks like it's the most natural thing in the world.

Yeah, I think it might be a driver thing (or driver interaction with XFCE code). After ~10 years of using XFCE, I recently for the first time encountered flickering, after an NVidia driver update. I disabled compositing and it went away. St

Oh, I thought the added u and the bar were just two different ways to indicated that the o is stretched (the u looking like a workaround to avoid special characters).

You can still find ones that don't need to be registered online and will work without WLAN or app. They will not remember the room layouts and you won't be able to lay virtual fences, but apart from that they work fine.

No. Chaining subroutine calls is an implementation detail that is not inherent in the language, even if it may be a popular option because it is easy to do. The usual implementation options are subroutine threading, indirect threading, and

I just think it seems hugely inefficient for a waiter to ask hordes of non-allergic people for allergies for every one allergic person that could just as well announce theirs.

Took the words right outta my mouth! Of course we want a full list of public functions with all the info. But with just a list of functions it's often still not quite clear how you're supposed to setup and call them, unless you

You mean sub-agent as in the formatting agent calls on the the search-and-filter agent? In that case you might just make a pipeline. Use a search agent, then a filter agent (or maybe only one search-and-filter agent), then a formatting agen
