I naively assumed that https://19hz.info would have a terrible search ranking, but it actually ranks #1 for "19hz". Fantastic website, been using it for a while.

I wonder if using a different allocator in SQLite ( https://www.sqlite.org/malloc.html ) would improve performance in their workload to a greater degree than any amount of Rust or io_uring. I can understand how io_uring incre

The book Bird Sense by Tim Birkhead covers birds’ magnetic sense in Chapter 6. Research has demonstrated that seabirds have a magnetic map and compass that they use to navigate home, but it doesn’t discuss how this knowledge is inherited. I

Yeah, I’m also curious about that. Does combining ASR and NER into one model improve performance for either?

The BYD Shark is ~$60k, but it’s being only available in Brazil and Australia. Ford is making a Ranger Sport PHEV, but only for Australia and Europe. CATL launched its Freevoy hybrid battery, competing with BYD. It’s certainly being worked

I see – my initial interpretation of OP’s “special case” was “Theory 2: GPT-3.5-instruct was trained on more chess games.” But I guess it’s also a possibility that they had a real chess engine hiding in there.

I have found combining these things to be useful: breakpoints that print stuff and auto-resume the program. Allows you to attach trace points at-will without requiring a recompile or losing state.

GPT-3.5 did not “cheat” on chess benchmarks, though, it was actually just better at chess?

C++ interoperability is neither niche nor theoretical. I imagine it would allow them to rewrite bits of the existing compiler, written in C++, into Swift. The type inference time explosion issue is a known and well-documented flaw. Fixing i

I actually evaluated and used jsmn and almost mentioned it in my comment. It was really quite cool, but I believe I couldn’t use it due to the lack of UTF-8 validation. Because UTF-8 validation is in the state machine for libjson, I can act

Or maybe, if we’re lucky, they’ll have to compete on quality as well as price. When Verizon laid down fiber optic cable in my (former) neighborhood, it was so much better than Xfinity’s service, and everyone I knew switched. Not to say that

Nope. The ergonomics are really bad at the moment. I also had to revert any places I used them in API surface. I haven’t had a use case yet where I could use them privately in the internal functioning of a type. I thought borrowing could st

Yes! In Swift there is no need to do this sort of differentiation, though, which is more ergonomic. Different trade-offs.

Doing that in Rust can be a footgun if the synchronous code blocks for too long. You often want a separate threadpool for calling those functions. It works great in Swift, though! Swift mitigates a lot of the function coloring pain: synchro

They actually allow you to opt out of ARC in Swift 6 by marking types as non-Copyable (~Copyable), along with “consume” and “borrowing” keywords. There are restrictions (i.e. their use in generics is limited), but it’s pretty great for opti
