Reviving old ideas and comparing them to SOTA is not necessarily bad especially if they provide benefits over the SOTA model. It brings the old ideas into the community idea cache if you will. It’s somewhat annoying if the authors do it thi

As satisfying as it is to point at local first software and say they forgotten history, it’s important to remember that a lot of development happens where the friction is lowest. The target platform for many local first apps is browser beca

You can make a bigger ICE engine (like a container ship engine) and still understand how the whole thing works. Maybe there’s more parts moving but it still has the structure of an ICE engine. With neural networks big or small, we got no cl
