Python is one the most popular programming languages. Ruby fits into a similar category as Python (high level, interpreted scripting language, very dynamic, has a rich ecosystem with tons of existing code). Being faster than Python makes it

Seems like a good way to waste tons of your bandwidth. Almost every serious data pipeline has some quality filtering in there (even open-source ones like FineWeb and EduWeb). And the stuff Iocaine generates instantly gets filtered. Feel fre

But people aren't using ChatGPT for completing phrases. They're using it to get their tasks done, or get their questions answered. The fact that pretraining of ChatGPT is done with a "completing the phrase" task has no b

The first point isn't meaningful from a user's perspective. There's no difference between me trusting you and you pushing malware to me vs you selling your deploy access to a third party and the third party pushing malware to

Oracle, Nintendo and Apple have all tried this "copyrighted text / logo / poem" thing, never works out for them. For interoperability you're allowed to replicate those parts.

I imagine that's mostly embeddings actually. My database has all the posts and comments from Hacker News, and the table takes up 17.68 GB uncompressed and 5.67 GB compressed.

Nope, it is the thing where people say "blurry" to describe "blurry". https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7992#issuecomme... This is how Zed looks like on my computer too. VSCode

Okay, goalpost has instantly moved from seeing to "seeing and touching". Once you feed in touch sensor data, where are you going to move the goalpost next? Models see when photons hit camera sensors, you see when photons hit your

LLMs are increasingly trained on images for multi-modal learning, so they too would have seen one object, then two.

Nope, as it turns out this was actually a thing until 2025-01-24, where a commit removed this "pretend to be Windows even on Linux platforms" behavior. https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit&#x

Firefox sends an incorrect version and operating system on its User-Agent when the privacy settings are turned on. IIRC it defaults to a Windows user agent even when you use it on other operating systems.

A server returning HTML for Chrome but not cURL seems like a bug, no? This is why there are so many libraries to make requests that look like they came from browser, to work around buggy servers or server operators with wrong assumptions.

Only if you don't use unsafe though. If you look at almost any real-world project written in Rust, you'll find tons and tons of `unsafe` in its dependency tree.

It wouldn't be weird to call an iPhone app an app for mobile phones. If I make an IntelliJ-only plugin, that's still an IDE plugin even if it doesn't work for all the IDEs in existence.
