The biggest issue with stenciling is lack of inlining. So for example if the argument to a generic function is an array backed container, then element access will have to go through a method call that cannot be inlined. Besides the call ind

They’ve made it easier. Seems like the will to solve it didn’t exist.

Because the SAT is too easy and gets saturated.

See the new mathematical proof published by OpenAI. I’m not very valiant to verify its veracity. But even if the math is merely derivative it merits mention.

Looks like it still uses python object model. You need auto unboxing for good performance.

What’s the technique? And did they buy it from thinking machines?

Isn’t this a symptom of structural/duck typing where interfaces are not declared? In Java for all its faults this wouldn’t happen because you’d be forced to implement all the interfaces.

How is the byte counting reader supposed to work in user space without putting the buffer in user space? The article claims there is a way but I want to see what is meant by counting bytes in that case.

When is Google coming out with an equivalent Gemini model?

by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
Yes that is what I meant. It’s not the same across reference frames. I don’t find the OP a convincing argument. What is temperature, why can you assume it didn’t change and the measurement also didn’t change commensurately? Why should kinet

I don’t find the answer convincing. It assumes one can measure heat at a distance and it is a conserved quantity between reference frames. Energy is actually not a conserved quantity in Galilean relativity.

That becomes more clear by the day. Zuck has no insight. His sole ambition is to be rich and taken seriously.

Compaction already drops nuanced and salient information. I wouldn’t want any additional amnesia from overly simplistic summarization.

by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
Why would you want a simple summarizer instead of frontier AI doing the summarization for you?

Do you have a GitHub? How do you source your parts?

by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
No. Not everyone. And even those who are thankfully don’t have the wealth and resources to upheave thousands of lives in pursuit of a mirage.

I’ve heard of space based microwave energy weapons. I haven’t looked at the physics personally but I talked to someone who did. Something like a 10MW phased array to create a 1 cubic meter ball of plasma in the atmosphere. I wonder about th

Zuck has read one too many sci-fi novels. He is afraid. Afraid that he will be left behind by the AI oligopoly. Afraid that he won’t get to live in Elysium.

I could accept those mental gymnastics 4 months ago. But I’m afraid the quagmire in Iran has disillusioned me of any competency the administration might have. Trump and co are not playing 4D chess. It looks more and more like 1D checkers.

Why isn’t codex banned? Will the ban be miraculously lifted once OpenAI releases their mythos-level model? The executive is holding American business in a Putin-style prisoner dilemma.

The problem is not the size of the span template, it’s putting whatever logic into a header file instead of a sealed compilation unit. In a void* function prototype, whatever network code or gnarly dependency is all shielded behind a compil

It’s not semantically safe to pass arbitrary vectors into a generic buffer copying function. The T in a vector<T> could have internal pointers or worse things. Either the objects are simple and trivially copiable, or you need a proper

Untrue. Lots of effort is spent optimizing compilation time at big FAANG companies. And there a lot of established techniques for creating “compiler firewalls” and explicitly instantiating templates once.
118.
by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
It’s this kind of attitude that perpetuates bad compilation time. Templates have to get parsed and instantiated over and over again. Then you need link time optimization to deduplicate all the redundant copies of the same code.
119.
by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
The caller still needs to construct the span correctly.
120.
by drivebyhooting 4mo ago
Span will increase compilation time for no useful reason. It’s not any safer at the call site.
