I take an almost opposite view. I think there is actually an issue of trying to use a document model as a basis for an interactive user interface. In that sense flutter is actually an improvement over things like React. The whole idea of re

Typescript transpiles to JS with a bunch of runtime checks woven in resulting in much slower code than equivalent barebones JS. There are benchmarks that show this.

I played with it and subsequently turned my back on it in favor of alpine.js and some vanilla JavaScript to handle client state with Flask on the back end. The reason I gave up on Pynecone is that these things transpile to other already hig

Well then, people should also stop doing that with Typescript because it's often as slow as Python and much slower than JavaScript.

Very nice. I assume the two hidden layers are fully connected?

Sounds like we already have full blown cyber replicas of politicians then.

I'm not particularly prone to motion sickness so I usually end the session when I'm too tired to continue. That said I rarely play any titles that don't have 1 to 1 movement tracking or teleportation

To each their own. I don't really like gaming but given the choice I will pick up the VR headset rather than play on the screen. I like VR for rhythm and workout games. Those are far less compelling on a flat screen with stuff like wii

I started my career in the early nineties. It's different now. Not sure if worse or better. Different. What I enjoyed about the 90's is that there was still plenty of meaningful work implementing published algorithms. I remember f

Java was perceived (quite rightfully) as a C++ with the rough edges filed off. It gained a ton of mindshare by making it trivial for C++ developers to jump on the bandwagon. This was critical because in terms of desktop development (that&#x

The so coveted Transformer architecture came out of Google for one... I don't like what Google has become but I can't deny them the amazing work that both DeepMind and Google Brain have done over the years.

I wonder where this puts Geoff Hinton in this new hierarchy. He still works for Google, doesn't he?

It says more about popular music than it does about AI that it's so easily replicated by a computer program.

These grapes, they are very sour. Maybe TruthGPT could help to file the claim?

The trouble is that's not how any of the ML or data science Python code is written at the moment. Such practices could help although I think more elegant solutions should be explored.

The issue that I have with Python type hints is they they don't go nearly far enough in describing the data being manipulated. Specifically, I'm thinking of stuff like the dimensionality and cardinality of Numpy arrays or Pandas f

Few tactile experiences are more satisfying than turning the dial of a nice rotary phone. I feel bummed that most young people have missed on this little pleasure.

I think the greater risk is when a technology this powerful gets monopolized by a handful of massive corporations. Look what happened to the mobile ecosystem. Compared to the openness of the PC architectures it's a terrible experience

We really need to one of the two things happen. Either the models are somehow able to run in regular CPU DRAM or we see the GPU makers to finally give us sensible amounts of VRAM. It's a travesty that a card I bought in 2016 still has

I guess that's one way to give that shitty Tesla robot a fitting brain.

Right, but for this to work, that cohort has to include some incredibly talented people with relevant experience so the pool he can draw from is vanishingly small. I doubt people like Hinton or LeCun or any of their successors in the field

If there is no afterlife then by definition none of us will experience what it's like to be dead. Or even what the final moments of life are given that there is going to be nothing to recollect those.

Oh I bet that it won't be long before you get cars plastered with ads. Add free paint coat will be an extra $6000. Absolutely see it coming.

I mean, that's all but inevitable. I can't imagine any industry not sitting up and taking notice of LLMs all of a sudden.

In the context of tech it was a period of stagnation. I’ve been working in the industry since the early nineties. All of the nineties was a period of dizzying acceleration of compute with new possibilities opening up every year. Things slow

The scholarly consensus is that there was a historical Jesus but what bothers me is that the same unbiased scholars reject just about every event of the New Testament as being improbable (eg the Jesus Seminar). This leaves me with a real hu
