In what context do you need to maintain multiple frameworks? My use case for fastAPI is very specific (we only maintain APIs for ML models), so I'm curious to learn about this.

Most of these corrections seem stylistic / "I would say it this way to make it clear" rather than actual mistakes.

I think you're missing the point. Offshoring (moving the job of, say, a Canadian engineer to an engineer from Belarus) has a one time cost drop, but you can't keep driving the cost down (paying the Belarus engineer less and less).

I strongly believe it should be illegal to post something automatically by an LLM without clearly identifying it as such. I hope countries start passing these laws soon

For this to be true, real wages would have had to collapse (at the very least ~50-70%) for a household of two workers to be less rich than the household of one worker x years ago. This is just not true. If people feel worse it's becaus

Hard disagree and it sounds like you're extrapolating from the traditional software area without considering the nuances. From the point of view of academia, free transformative products that build on other stuff, transparency, possibi

I think it's useful because many people consume quantized models (most models that fit in your laptop will be quantized and not because people want to uncensor or un-unlearn anything). If you're training a model it makes sense to

If the model wasn't optimized with a parameter = 3.08 (that is, the optimization figured 3.08 increased the objective function), why would it be better than parameter = 3.1 ? (This applies to functions of parameters too)

Wolfram is serious about his software, but, to my mind, has been closer to a crackpot scientist than a real researcher the last few decades. Him backing something up diminishes my subjective probability that this is something "serious&

That's a good point. Latin letters map to a big number of IPA sounds. I think this is specially true with consonants. Vowels, however, might be the same. For example, Spanish has five vowels (a, e, i, o, u in IPA). Japanese also has fi

I get your point, but the author is proposing that Europeans loose their working rights or start working 70 hours a week. I think the biggest suggestion is that the EU should standardize their legislation for creating and keeping a company.
