I guess it's the 'large' part that turns me off. If it's actually far away so that you need to scroll a lot to get there, it just feels like it's more work to me. Sort of replicating one of the less appealing featur

I don't get the hype for scrolling WMs. It feels like the app switcher view on phones. Never thought I needed that on desktop, normally it just freaks me out with how much stuff is open. If you like this, check out stacked tiling. It c

Agree on compiled languages, wondering about Go vs Rust. Go compiles faster but is more verbose, token cost is an important factor. Rust's famously strict compiler and general safety orientation seems like a strong candidate for LLM co

Huh, I thought Claude Code was a tool for tinkerers - it even says so on the landing page. Aren't there dedicated enterprise-grade solutions?

One thing that kind of baffles me about the popularity of tools like Claude Code is that their main target group seems to be developers (TUI interfaces, semi-structured instruction files,... not the kind of stuff I'd get my parents to

Think of it in an end-to-end way: produce a ton of examples of final results of supervisor-worker agentic outputs and then train a model to predict those from the original user prompts straight away.

You can let them play complete-information games (1 or 2 player) with randomly created rulesets. It's very objective, but the thing is that anything can be optimized for. This benchmark would favor models that are good at logic puzzles

True. But it's worth mentioning that normality is only required for asymptotic inference. A lot of things that make least squares stand out, like being a conditional mean forecast, or that it's the best linear unbiased estimator,

One interesting property of least squares regression is that the predictions are the conditional expectation (mean) of the target variable given the right-hand-side variables. So in the OP example, we're predicting the average price of

There's a difference between what you call DPI (which I called payment system) and central bank money. A CBDC is both, Pix and UPI are only DPI sans central bank money (so neither is a CBDC). My point is that you can get all of the ben

Neither do the authors in the book, and I'd argue that after (only) reading the book, the reader wouldn't be equipped to attempt this either (see my other post in this thread), so I think the parent poster has a point.
