If someone spends significant effort to gather documents proving that their family was forcibly relocated from Poland, they may be able to become a Polish resident and then spend a year or so doing paperwork, bringing all of the documents t

These example queries really do take fewer tokens than the SQL queries, and the syntax is apparently designed to minimize token count. My impression is that letting the model write SQL queries is not a typical baseline for RAG. It's un

This question in particular could use an answer about like "use an up-front design that will not prevent subsequent performance work", so it is sad that it has two similar answers. But also, it's not really reasonable to map

With an algorithm that can make the result worse according to your preferences if you vote compared to if you did not, or with some other algorithm?

> You focus on efficiency and performance. You like to work close to the metal, optimize for speed and memory usage, and prefer direct control over system resources. well, it's not wrong, but i feel like a lot of these questions are

Memory leaks are unrelated to memory safety. That is to say, code that leaks memory is memory safe. So I'm not sure what RAII is supposed to help with. A problem not solved in C++ is the need to reserve a single bit-pattern per type th

by anonymoushn 1y ago
Well, for example you may have some functions which accept types and return types, which are not compatible with some input types, and indicate their incompatibility by raising an error so that compilation fails. If the program actually doe

A lot of Zig relies on compilation being lazy in the same sort of way.

I don't have any experience running the Vite or Bun bundlers or the typescript compiler on the client, but I think these are not really supported use cases.

I think it is a bit more troublesome to ship a this comptime implementation and a minifier to the client so the specialization may be performed there than it is to ship just a c preprocessor implementation.

I have read the examples, and it seems like this cannot be used for aggressive hoisting of conditionals by writing "if (comptime foo)", resulting in the the body of the if statement being executed unconditionally or omitted. So it

I have asked for like the ability to apply a filter that maps real strings from real users to a very small number of character classes, so that I may run some codec on data that is equivalent to user data for the purposes of the codec. I ha

Yes, it is very important to test performance work on data distributions that are representative of the production data distribution. I hope the author has another go at using SIMD that actually makes it into use :)

wuffs is extremely cool, but you do find the expected blobs of intrinsics for specific simd extensions in this code.

i replied to a comment by the hacker news user called pyman which claimed incorrectly that distillation was repackaged as "subliminal learning". so if you are asking me, who is talking about subliminal learning, which is unrelated

"subliminal learning" does not even work for use cases like distilling o1 to R1 because they do not share a base model

In some workloads, you can benefit from paying the latency cost of data dependencies instead of the latency cost of conditional control flow, but there's no general rule here. It's best to try out several options on the actual tas

A while ago I talked to some team that was planning a migration to GraphQL, long after this was generally thought to be a bad idea. The lead seemed really attached to the "composable RPCs" aspect of the thing, and at the time it s

Really great. I wonder, for the "types encoded as code" approach, is there any benefit to fast paths for data with fields in ascending order? For some json parsers with types encoded as code I have observed some speedup from eithe
