Um, the author is clearly familiar enough with Wasm, but probably knows enough to know to avoid a company that tried to trademark WebAssembly. > understandable concerns about the fact we, Wasmer, a VC-backed corporation, attempted to tra

He sold it some time ago. Either it expired, he negotiated out of it, or there was never much of one to begin with. My guess it was a little of all three. I think a lot of what Kong wanted with it already happened - it seems to have helped

I think doctors generally do their best, but it's still disappointing. Doctors can't make food less enticing. https://www.instagram.com/lukesmithrd/p/DBRoWvRSMKx/

It's all based on omni which to me has weird religious connotations. It just occurred to me to put it together with sama's other project, scanning everyone's eyes. That's one aspect of omniscience - keeping track of ev

I'm aware, thanks, but it could have been anyone saying that AI won't threaten your job. It's still a big claim.

That reads like an OpenAI talking point. The smart thing to do as programmers is to keep trying to automate more of our work, but there's no guarantee that it will be like this in the future. A lot of this post resonated with me: http

> But don't say it wasn't (well) designed. I’ll say that it isn’t well designed. I draw a line at treating an unused import as an error. The creators of Go had opinions, and so do I. That’s how it works.

It’s individualism. Wild, but not so surprising to me. For instance, I want people to be able to choose what OS they use on their computers and I’d be happy to see more desktop and laptop computers sold without Windows included even if it h

The word stable doesn’t appear once in the post except for within the word stablecoin. It’s important to get past the name. It’s a pegged coin, the attempted stability is in terms of it being pegged, and people need to do their research on

To me this is a centralized take. The alternative is just trusting someone in the space. With that you have stuff like FTX, MtGox, and even ones that haven’t failed where there are plenty of stories of KYC trouble on Reddit. > people who

The carmaking bro predates SpaceX. He had a BMW in college and got a supercar in 1997. While he wasn’t a carmaker yet he got started with cars earlier.

I guess I think they should study what a neutral position looks like, and avoid going beyond it as best as they can. I had in mind a "progressive" who avoids any hot button issues. Someone with a high profile will be asked about p

I think “progressive” is probably the safest position to take. It also works if you want to get involved in a different sort of politics later on. David Sacks had no problem doing that when he was no longer interested in being CEO of a larg

It seems he was virtue signaling before. So it would be more accurate to blame him for having let himself become an ego driven person in the past. Or to put it nicely and to add the context of Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, who has also been

Every week to me means the frequency, not the duration. So having 52 events in a year that are spread out somewhat evenly but for which many take longer to develop than a week would count. If I count Deepseek as one of these I can’t find an

This supposed project is a bit dull, it is just an ongoing HuggingFace community engagement initiative with a misleading headline. Yes R1 itself is fascinating, but there isn't something like it coming out every week.

Your Linux VM instance is Linux, and I don't think it's an unreasonable request to run a VM on your desktop machine, using the virtualization software provided by the OS.

It also helps refute the point because you could certainly ask an LLM to speak as though they’re a character from the book. And if what it does now is unimpressive, it might be a good thing to use to monitor the rapid progress of LLMs.

There is sure to be lots of training data from people with French as a first language and English as a second language that can be pulled up with some prompting.

Whatever floats Gwern’s boat I guess. I don’t think they’re doing it out of a personal preference but because with what they’ve learned about LLMs it makes sense. I think in particular it seems to be less about rules than linguists thought.
