Is it that impressive? It is a model generating short strings from scratch, so I do not think there is significant token parsing or memory allocation going on. In compute performance, 10M tok/s * 4096 parameter/tok * 4 byte/

Yes, but their "run rate" assumes the current level continues unchanged, right? If revenue per month goes down then the projected run rate is optimistic. However, revenue has been increasing, so the reported run rates have under

"Latent" means it (the space) is there all the time but usually not exposed or apparent. Latent space is a high-dimensional space that is not legible to humans, so normally reasoning gets constrained to progress in tokens instead

Yes, it's notable that they mean "production" in the sense of 40 vehicles rather than 40 models or model variants. It's close to prototype quantities rather than production; US law allows the military to build up to 10%

Yes, this. At work, I have side-by-side 32" 4K monitors. At home, I have a 59" curved 7680x2160 monitor that is the same size as the two work monitors combined. My home setup is much more ergonomic than work. Beyond your point

Depends on the source and what you're trying to exercise. M-Code and spot beams are supposed to provide something like 20 dB of jamming resistance, and if your jammer is not right next to the target then the jamming could be a factor

I don't think attitudes have changed on that. The last PM on my current project (in aircraft navigation) was a pilot, and he always stressed that a pilot in charge should have alternatives planned for destination and means of navigati

100 ms might be a good threshold for a lot of purposes, but for when refresh, 30 fps is painful to use compared to 60 fps: it is extremely noticeable when moving windows, but I'm old and can tell the difference even just moving the cur

I think ripgrep does avoid allocations in that innermost loop. That's why this report says all the crashes are associated with opendir() and its memory allocation: the opendir() call is outside of ripgrep's innermost loop but sti

It got arm-waved to a race condition in munmap(). Claude (or a distill of Claude) didn't identify a race, it just convinced itself that was the cause.

I understand all the words in it and follow the argument, but it's still bullshit in the technical sense of being written by someone who wants to sound authoritative but doesn't ultimately care if they are right or wrong. The writ

> It’s the kernel. Nothing a user space library can do should ever be able to call this. I don't follow. An application might see this kind of crash if it has a bug causing it to access a page while another thread is mapping or unm

The ISO C definition of opendir() requires an allocation in practice because it returns a DIR* and it's bad practice for the library to arbitrarily limit how many of those an application has at a time. Maybe a C library could prealloca

As long as the hardware can be used on newer models, hardware costs can be recouped running a future model. But if they're hoping to recoup non-recurring engineering costs rather than just hardware costs, they do need to consider the u

That's one of the nice features of jj: instead of having an index, the working tree is its own commit, and it tracks the history of that when you run most jj commands. This works because each commit gets a "change id" assigne

Not in every case. I would call (in the US) National Public Radio "public media", but Voice of America "government-run". I personally don't know enough about BBC or France 24 to go beyond "government-funded&qu

Base 4 isn't substantially different from base 2 except in granularity. There's a somewhat famous result that base e gives the best expected density for representing numbers, but fractional (and especially irrational) bases are in

The regressions got fixed before a release. Do you count your internal integration branch as "shipped"? 0.02 defects per KLOC is a low density, even considering that it was "just" a port to a new language and before giv

The article is explicit that addition is O(n), with n digits, which is cheaper than multiplication is believed to be. Naive multiplication is O(n*n) -- considerably less than your algorithm.

Did Bun mass-close issues that predated the rewrite? It doesn't look like they did, as the oldest open issue is from 2021 and there are many from 2022, but maybe they did something that killed most of the old issues.

> taking that into production with barely any announcement is what kills off the interest to me. Did Bun v1.4.0 release weeks ago and I missed it? I would call a formal release the point that it goes "into production", and I t

I think the idea conflates price discrimination -- where people on individual subscriptions pay a much lower price per token than corporate accounts pay -- with using venture capital funding for opex. Both are subsidies in some senses, but

At the risk of stating the obvious, California's law only requires property owners to declare the presence of hazardous substances, not to reduce or even identify them.

I would suggest that if you have two similar copies of sufficiently complex logic, it's fair to combine them after they have been stable for a long time. My gut feeling is that the threshold should be a function of complexity times st

Yes, but California requires prominent signs for any business premise where these materials are found, and the incentives are to not provide any further detail about which substances are present. So a gas station will have a Prop 65 sign;

Go is similar: `for/range` has always worked on arrays, slices, maps, strings and channels, and they extended it to integers in version 1.22 and to user-defined generators in version 1.23. It generates one or two outputs depending on
