Very nice font! However, I wish the default line height would have been a little bigger. It's a bit too dense for long paragraphs.

I think you are completely right. Of course, typing "Write a Tetris clone in Javascript" and having the bot generate a clone is quicker than coding it yourself. But that assumes you don't care about the details. If you do, yo

It's very common in the industry today. They let some journos be the first to break the news. In return the journos write a glowing review. A symbiotic relationship.

Then the article contradicts the slides because it states that OpenAI choose not to disaggregate prefill and decode. Idk you men with "predict"---conventional LLM serving comprises only two phases.

The article is a bit naive: > However, as previously mentioned, Jalapeño’s results are obtained without speculative decoding and Vera Rubin’s results use speculative decoding. Speculative decoding leads to a ~3-5x reduction in cost per t

You recall wrong. :) The evidence that tipping is inherently unjust is overwhelming: https://freakonomics.com/2008/03/the-racial-tipping-point/ The post about race but the results very obviously apply to othe

How long will a business employ a waiter that is tipped so badly?

Also, many Europeans have the "equal work, equal pay" mantra drilled into them. Tip-based salaries are the complete anti-thesis to that. It is obvious that better-looking younger women get more tips than those without those charac

So either they care about the safety of women and children, or they want to have some brown skinned and "weird" people to heave their hate on. I know which possibility I think is most likely...

IKEA's naming is pure genius. I bought a few NÄMMARÖ garden chairs for my garden a few weeks ago. And the chairs really feel like the furniture the people on NÄMMARÖ - an island somewhere in the Bohuslän archipelago - have used for age

I use LLMs to criticize my writing. Whereas Grok is absolutely useless at it, I can actually get Claude and ChatGPT to give me reasonable feedback. They point out when I've forgotten an "s" after the verb, when "which&qu

I'm assuming nothing -- the party that burns 12B of taxpayer money on subsidies should show that it works. It is plausible that there are no new potential market participants as building power plants is expensive and the entrenched pla

by bjourne 2mo ago
What's to say that encouragement works? Does the 12B subsidy stipulate that more plants must be built? If not, keeping supply limited and price per Watt high may be more profitable.

Exactly why would one or more middle men trying to extract profit save taxpayer money? What's your evidence?

Props for using a correct nomenclature. Reference counting is a " kind of automatic garbage collection. Tracing garbage collection is also a kind of automatic garbage collection.

Ok, but this has nothing to do with contrastive learning. Your argument applies to all kinds of self-supervised learning methods.

by bjourne 2mo ago
While there is much to suggest that sleep is important for learning, why contrastive learning in particular? It seems to me that the "deactive IO" argument could apply to any learning technique. Similar to how railroad maintenance

You only need 3-5 fps SD video and with motion sensing you only record when there is a customer at the self-checkout. Technically, it is absolutely doable.

Keep in mind that this is a synthetic benchmark. The task is to remove outliers and for that the roughly 99% correct guesses of the branch predictor is perfectly fine.

This problem is called stream compaction and there is a wealth of research on it. The best methods use prefix scan. They first efficiently compute the index in the output array of each element that satisfies the predicate and then they gath
