Enough for them to accumulate the work of an incredible amount of persons-hours of graphic design. Is this not ok, and instead to have a 500 watts/h TV on all day is fine? Or having no public transportation whatsoever and move every da

The point here would be that after N years, US workers at the site would gain enough insights to replicate the processes with American companies? Because otherwise what's the point? Will TSMC allow that? Because to just have more inter

I propose a different technique: - Use a large context LLM. - Segment documents to 25% of context or alike. - With RAG, retrieve fragments from all the documents, they do a first pass semantic re-ranking like this, sending to the LLM: I hav

Check my YouTube channel if you have a few minutes. I just published a video about adding a complex feature (UTF-8) to the Kilo editor, using Claude.

I have also many years of programming experience and find myself strongly "accelerated" by LLMs when writing code. But, if you think at it, it makes sense that many seasoned programmers are using LLMs better. LLMs are a helpful to

I'm testing it for system programming brainstorming, code reviews and Python test units writing, and my impression is that it's a Sonnet 3.5 level model for most tasks. I said a few things here: https://www.youtube.com&

It's impossibile to publish free stuff on the Kindle store AFAIK, at least with KDP. Only one week free offer from time to time. This does not help.

For Italian there is liber liber but I don't like how it is run at all. They claim copyright for the cleaning process to produce the ebook: this basically is both illegal in Italy, afaik, and ruins the whole goal of the project.

The examples I made are just a subset of the protection that this provides. Similarly you can't LRANGE a set type, and so forth. So this in general makes certain errors evident ASAP (command mismatch with the key type). This does not m

You totally miss that Redis is more like a remote interpreter with a DSL that manipulates data structures stored at global variables (keys): you (hopefully) would never complain about languages having this semantics. I don't think you

My feeling is that for their use case, it makes sense to have something vertical that just cover the needs of Rails. AFAIK SQLite has a RAM backend, so still you are not going to hit disk. Seems like a good idea to reduce system complexity,

Sorted sets are abstract data structures were you insert elements into a set, but every element is associated with a floating point score. Elements are taken ordered inside the sorted sets, so you can ask for ranges, or a specific element r

Talking about the broken API argument here. Also Redis is particularly useful exactly in other situations compared to what OP says. Leaderboards style use cases with sorted sets are killer applications (super hard to model with SQL) of the

Many non-SQL DBs had query languages that were broken Javascript-ish versions of SQL. Of course, this is wrong, and people will eventually adopt SQL instead. But if your data model isn't anything like relational DBs, non-SQL makes a

Wow, the reasons why Redis commands API suck in Andy's video (linked in the post) are the weakest ever. It is possible to make a case against the Redis API (I would not agree of course but... it's totally legitimate), but you gott

Probably. But statistically to work with 4o is a lose of time for me. LLMs is like an investment: you write the prompts, you "work" with them. If the LLM is too weak, this is a lose of time. You need to have a return on the invest

Exactly, and right now the LLMs acceleration effect is a tool , not "give me the final solution". Even people that can't code, using LLMs to build applications from scratch, still have this tool mindset. This is why they can

The data about Redis can be true only if they mean "commits". This is why I believe they checked Github contributions numbers.

1. The Chinese internal market is huge, and in case they develop models that are better than western models, not using them will be a disadvantage for us, not them. Also I can see many European countries (including my country, Italy) to buy
