When it comes to the economy, some monkey business is going on, but i think you can be more optimistic about the capabilities technology like that unlocks for everyone on the planet. Being able to control machines just with our voice, we ca

Yes, of course, probably sometime in the following days. Some people mention it already works in the playground. I was wondering why OpenAI didn't release a smaller model but faster. 175 billion parameters works well, but speed sometim

It is a limiting factor, due to diminishing returns. A model trained on double the data, will be 10% better, if that! When it comes to multi-modality, then training data is not limited, because of many different combinations of language, im

I use GPT from API in emacs, it's wonderful. Gptel is the program. Although API access through Groq to Llama 3 (8b and 70b) is so much faster, that i cannot stand how slow GPT is anymore. It is slooow, still very capable model, but ma

Sanskrit is an important one IMO. I have tried to learn sanskrit in the past, didn't manage to do so, too few resources. Dead languages, might not be dead for very long, machines do better in grammar and syntax nowadays.

golden-ratio is very convenient. I also split the frame to two windows at most, and most of the times i focus on one window, and the other window takes just 25% of the screen space. What i have not found a solution yet, is when one window i

If there were only two programming languages in the whole world, just two, no more; one better fitted for OS kernels and one better fitted for game programming, which one would be considered a general purpose language? I would argue, OS pro

Computer chips do not need to use energy useful to humans, BTC and also deep learning algos just to name a few. Sam Altman should go to Saudis and plug GPUs directly as petroleum gets out of the ground, and then transfer the trained bits to

They are also getting paid by the drugs they prescribe, not by the diseases they cure. Incentives guide actions of many people. Not saying their actions are dictated only by incentives and nothing else, but still, a strong influence there.

When it comes to only writing code and executing it, then Emacs is not the best editor. I used Lapce for Rust, and it is fast, lightweight and modern. Lapce also has some keyboard shortcuts and it is a joy to use. Emacs has some features

"Write once, run everywhere" is pretty important goal to achieve. When a project has to be written for a platform, and then ported to other platforms, then some ports or all of them turn out to be pretty bad. Essentially the progr

With comments, it depends on the case. When reviewing code, or on an architectural refactoring with no new code being inserted, comments being more visible is certainly desirable. In a normal setting of writing code, comments should fade ou
