That's also my question. What exactly is apple custom LLM, and what is openAI tech ? I'm quite confident in the ability of openAI to provide a great usable LLM tech, but much less so of apple. All the demo they've shown in th

I know the left likes to blame it on the complex structures of society ("it's the system's fault") and have bright scholars that want to go beyond the immediate perception of things, however in this case i don't thi

Note that french people saying "inshallah" say it as a joke (they use this word for fun effect), which isn't the same as really adopting this word. As for arab-derived slang, i know a lot of parents who absolutely forbid thei

I feel that it's really hard to get an intuition on where all this is going. on the one hand you've got sci-fi like openai demos, and for sure their tool is definitely a productivity booster which i use often, on the other hand it

OP provides even more simple examples than double linked lists. It made me realize how pg default isolation level was actually quite a nice footgun and reread the doc about the various isolation levels much more carefully.

Economy as in “making profit and creating jobs”. Which those american tech companies do, and our university don’t. i’m not even sure if you’re trolling now..

I like mistral very much, and this is the kind of company that is still giving me hope. However from a market size POV it is completely inexistant compared to giants like openAI, or even google with gemini. It’s still a very very tiny and f

Or rather preventing moving goalpost. You’re citing nokia, founded in the 19th century, and SAP, founded 54 years ago, as a counter-argument to my assertion that EU isn’t good at creating tech companies. Should I have added that i was talki

I'm talking about tech companies . The list of tech companies you quoted, if that's the best you could find, is definitely proving my point.

I wish the EU were as good at creating tech companies as they are at regulating them.

Funny how MIT sounds like europe in this example..

A bit off-topic, but what's the best method to build cross-platform mobile & web apps nowadays ? I'm talking either business logic + UI , or just business logic ? like gomobile, rust, typescript, etc ? At some point i thought

For sure you're right, it's always a tradeoff. But to compensate for a deficit in popularity, a technology needs to have tremendous merits. Language performance is only important in some very specific cases (I/O trumps CPU

That's the pb OP is mentioning quite early : the benchmark didn't make sense.

Problem with backend dev is that it's 99% about plumbing between components written by someone else ( db, cache, queue, other web services , etc). In that sense, the most important property of a language is its popularity: it will ensu

Wonder what kind of tech they’ll be using on the server side to develop all those services.

Not in the field, but first transformers aren’t really new, they’ve been there for a decade now (only probably underused), but mostly second : i don’t think i’ve ever seen such an explosion of funding in a single tech since the internet bub

Strong emotional reaction to anything is pretty much the norm nowadays. However, i feel like apple's ad made people visualize a true deep concern about the future of art (and humanity) with regards to the recent advancements of AI. The

same experience, same conclusion. I used to hire without coding interviews, i don't anymore. Although i see it as a way for the candidate and i to talk about code in general, and assess his level. No as a simple barrier. i hired a cand

Ok but what makes it specific to volatile ? This pb happens with all memory. Are volatile variables used for atomic memory access semantic ?

I may not properly understand what you're saying because i haven't had to deal with volative keywords. However, i'm surprised by what (i think i understood from what) you're saying: aren't all register restored on p

Correct in theory, false in practice. Case in point : google adwords / adsense. It’s been close to 20 years and counting, and lots of the online ad economy is still relying almost exclusively on it.

terrorism has a very simple definition : to aim at civilians to accomplish a political goal. (and no, israel and the US never aimed at civilians. They've used armies to fight armies.. which doesn't mean there hasn't been ci

hm.. i don't think iran destabilized syria, iraq, yemen, and most of all lebanon, to "protect themselves" from anybody. They're just looking for maximum regional influence, financing every local militia they can. Blaming

pakistan regional influence is absolutely nothing compared to iran. They have border issues with india but that's pretty much it. Iran, without nukes, is already destabilizing at least 4 countries ( yemen, lebanon, syria, iraq, and tha

I wonder, seing the example of north korea and more recently russia, why don't everyone consider this a top worldwide priority. For some reason, only israel and the US ( and some arab countries) are worried. But once iran has the nucle

I had a similar idea (except using kafka) : have all the nodes write to a kafka cluster, used for buffering, and let some consumer write those data in batch, into whatever database engine(s) you need for querying, with intermediate pre-proc
