That's just incorrect. Every letter you're looking at now is vector and no different in terms of performance of rendering to SVG.

It's so funny this article features a timeline graphic that's a PNG with a lot of text on it. On Firefox + M1 Macbook, the first image is not up to scale for high resolution screens and each pixel is blurry, rendering the font har

Regarding quality, on my computer vision benchmarks (specific querying about describing items) it's about 2% of current preview of GPT-4V. Speed is impressive, though.

Serious question: what is the issue with these paritcular sizes? I know that features/look these websites have are definitely achievable with less JS at a higher engineering cost, but what's the problem with it? 10MB loads in two

I'd assume Azure's TOS does not allow foreign secret services to use it for its operations. I remember TOS of iTunes mentioned you can't use it to build nuclear bombs. In that sense, there's no way that what Microsoft di

I love how the user made "Microsoft is spying on users of its AI tools" from "Microsoft found out that hostile governments of authoritarian countries use their AI tools to conduct illegal activities" and forgot that you

They totally missed 4-5 events of mass interest in leaving Twitter and now have to scramble for any interest.

The point is that the article states "averaged across 4 diverse customer tasks, fine-tunes based on our new model are slightly stronger than GPT-4, as measured by GPT-4 itself" and then proves it with nothing tangible, just the 4

I want an interactive prompt box with some example prompts and answers from the model and a comparison with GPT-4. My random guess is that this finetuned Mistral-7B is better at nothing or almost nothing than GPT-4 and that's why inste

SSR is almost always slower than SPAs. It's forcing a waterfall on first page dispaly (you can't stream HTML of something that hasn't been fetched from the database yet), and generally SPAs fail mainly at SEO. If you're

I had it while I had ear inflammation and it went away by itself once the inflammation was cured. I'm sorry to hear that your case isn't as easy as mine.

You falsly assume that the intent of people building that device was to make it efficient - it wasn't. They wanted to make sure the fuel, heated up to the right temperature, will yield energy gain and that happened. You can think of a

On what premise? It just says we can't make it economical anytime soon, but you have to start somewhere - or should we all agree that unlimited clean energy is not worth trying because it's a long shot?

Everyone mildly interested in the topic knows about what's written in the article. There are popular scientists making youtube videos about what is Q, etc. It's the gain factor of the fuel itself, not the entire system that achiev

Completely incorrect, the practices were in general not very present in middle-aged Poland compared to the Western Europe. The reason for emerging anti-vampiric practices in the 17th and the 18th centuries were epidemics and folktales from

My prompt was: Imagine you have to draw a SVG of an object. As a model that does not have any idea about how things look, you have to draw "blindly" - as there's no visual feedback, the only feasible tactic is to first list t

The prompt must be particularly bad. I managed to get a nicely looking unicorn at the first (and every subsequent) attempt.

Revisit this in December, please. This headline is a problem, not an achievement. The amplitude in output of renewables in good vs. bad weather makes it impossible to install photovoltaic panels in many places already now. But yeah, Germany

No. The Moore Law has been declared dead since at least 2010 and nothing changed in terms of increase of density of transistors in chips. Doubling every two year, just as stably as in the 90s. https://ourworldindata.org/grap

I agree with you, however modern services (like Vercel) solve those problems pretty well. They provide you with the CI you'd otherwise write by yourself.

There should be no CI/CD code - build the product instead. Fundamentally, outsource devops to some service. Use Firebase, Vercel, etc. Building proper multi-environment CI/CD is where you're doing devops with the belief you&#

You can start storing JWTs in the database to regain control over their validity, but then you fundamentally have sessions, just done in an unnecessarily complex way. It goes back to some Xbox vs. Playstation/Android vs. iOS type of ar

I agree with you, but that's one of the things that will have to be rewritten if you're in a regulated business - unless you go for some hybrid "JWT but stored in the database" which is, basically, not a JWT.
