>Hill climbing obviously gets stuck easily in 2 or 3 dimensions. So our intuition ain't reliable. Also our intuition about overfitting from lower-dimensional representations seems to be less of an issue at high dimensions.

>Weirdly, teams seem to adapt better to bad code. The greenfield team usually adapts well to its own buggy code. They know the system so well inside-out that if a bug pops up they have a general idea why. This is bad, because with natu

Sure, but the basic idea of firing neurons is there, and the connection of these "neurons" to a neural network like an LLM does not allow the network to perform computations directly. The level of detail of the simulation has litt

The comparison makes sense though. We're trying to build an simulated brain. We want to create a brain that can think about math. And chain of thought is kind of like giving that brain some scratch space to figure out the problem. This

I'm already sad. I discovered AB last time in the US. This almost guarantees that it's not going to be good next time.

In the stained glass case, maybe you need to go digital where brightness and color don't matter, but only on-off state.

Oh nice, the article already changed. I can't quite imagine it's the exact same though in all metrics. Some graphs of measurement statistics would be even better.

Oh, wow, this is so bad. m usually means "milli" not "micro". At least they could have used u instead of µ, which is a more common replacement when you don't have the keyboard character available.

Great writeup with easy to understand steps. One thing it's lacking though is in the conclusion. I'd like to see a comparison to the C++ implementation.

For me 500km range is also the sweet spot. But it needs to be real range, like including heating in winter or AC in summer. And while I only usually drive 300-350km in one piece, I don't want to buy a car where I have to fear that a dr

I also like the way the Toyota production system puts it with Jidoka / automate with a human touch. [1] 1. Only automate the steps you know how to execute manually very well. This is a prerequisite. This kind of goes in the direction o

Also anyone who has worked on a significantly large C++ code base will be really happy about 17 seconds iterative compile times.

I'd say Ada is a great choice, but I wouldn't call it technically superior. Some Ada features are nice (e.g. delta types for fixed point calculations), some Rust features are nice (e.g. very expressive ML inspired type system with

It's nice lingo, but is it commonly used in the US now? I've never heard it in the US except from Brits.
