I get excited every time I see a "Differentiable X" library, but this one had me the most excited! Seeing the methane molecule acquire its geometry is so cool. Can it work with more complex molecules like small amino acids?

I use Tailwind for connecting dev machines across two continents and as a free user I think it's an amazing product. It breaks my heart to see people losing their jobs because there isn't enough revenue. I can empathize with the f

I find kitchenwork provides good case studies for computational thinking. Thinking about stacking dishes by their sizes leads to a tour of sorting algorithms and datastructures. Thinking about predicting the prices of different preparations

There's a gut feeling that comes from having gotten your hands dirty enough that tells you if the LLM is being smart or spitting out bullshit.

Ability is a combination of aptitude, skills, persistence, and exposure. More importantly, intention matters and it show up in the quality of your work. If the intention is to cut corners, no one can stop you from doing shoddy work. Number

My ex-boss a principal data scientist wiped out his work laptop. He used to impress everyone with his Howitzer-like typing speed and was not a big believer in version control and backups etc.

Is this Google's answer to OpenAI's browser launch? The first two paragraphs fail to describe what Disco is.

I have always used SwiftKey and Android. This year I switched to Apple because Android was being bloated by Samsung etc. I'm shocked by how horrible Apple keypad is. I also feel like the touch sensitivity of iphone is worse than Samsun

Yeah but it also made me think if deep down neural networks are curated random basis vectors, like in random projections.

Only skimmed the paper and I have no idea how sound or reproducible it is, but the paper is well written, especially the clarity of notation. After reading yesterday's weight subspace paper: https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2F

> all the way to the borderlands of active anxiety—not quite understanding what Claude just wrote. This is a big issue, personally. I write Python and bash these days and I love that we're not bottlenecked by IDE-based autocomplete

People are sheep. Someone somewhere used mathematical puzzles as interview questions. That someone became big. Others assumed it was because their interview process was amazing and followed blindly. Soon enough the process started to be gam

My understanding differs and I might be wrong. Here's what I inferred: Let's say you finetune a Mistral-7B. Now, there are hundreds of other fine-tuned Mistral-7B's, which means it's easy to find the universal subspace U

It might we worth it to use that subset to initialize the weights of future models but more importantly you could save a huge number of computational cycles by using the lower dimensional weights at the time of inference.

Would you see a lower rank subspace if the learned weights were just random vectors?

Because they always have an intellectual itch. They want to go down every rabbit hole, They think things can be done better. And, in general, because they think. Because they have little interest in mundane and repetitive things.

Great work hunting the bug down the stack. The writeup is top notch. I wish I documented some of the nastiest bugs I found in such detail. Funnily, only a few days ago I was thinking about just how far the field has come since 2014 or so wh

The project wide search looks quite unusable compared to Visual Studio Code. You only see the matches one file at a time.

I've used Dolt briefly and loved it. I didn't need real time perf but being able to see diffs and checkout branches was phenomenal.

This is the probably the only explanation of the Bayesian-Frequentist approaches, besides the video on interpreting product reviews by 3blue1brown, that I have been able to wrap my head around.

My biggest gripes with Python are: - exports being broken if code is executed from a different directory - packaging being more complicated than it should be and I don't even have too much experience in the area of packaging, besides o

I have heard of similar experiences on HN a few times. Haven't seen any such conflicts on real projects in the last five years or so, since I started using Poetry and then UV. I deal with data science code and the people writing it hav

I've not written a single line of Rust ever, but I have occasionally looked under the hood of Tensorflow, Pytorch etc. and have been a machine learning practitioner for several years. The succinctness of the interfaces surprised me!

I learned X86 ASM by sinking my teeth into the Intel 8085 manual, then lighting up LEDs on a hardware emulator and later on a 8085 simulator that me and my brother built. What certainly helped was that I had did some digital design and inst
