And also this assumes base models. The breakthrough where the instruct/chat models which again are much more code than 500 lines of plain training.

The article talked about building a basic version of an LLM. Even basic versions like Karpathy's TinyStories ~100 million parameter models which manage to generate comprehensive English for a restricted vocabulary are trained for hours

This metric from the article is a bit misleading. It's not 500 lines in the same sense as mergesort is 20 lines. The whole of the deep learning stack including nvidia firmware blobs is used by those 500 lines. You may create a small NN

It's nice, but the downside is that relying on TCO can make your Bun-tested code unexpectedly break with stack overflow error if it ever gets run on Deno or Node. So probably a good idea to comment this part of the code and make sure i

Project governance types affect the end result. While smaller projects like Helix have a few (or maybe one?) decision makers, vi/vim/nvim is such a large and decades old community with so much diversity that the proliferation of p

With the risk of being somewhat off-topic, in this thread I'll be the one bringing up Helix first. As a vim user for 20 years, I tried it out last time it was brought up on HN two months ago. I have been using it ever since and I proba

This is not a MS model, only the pretrained one it is based on. And honest question, if you can use it non-commercially is that so bad? So it's open for personal use or offering it as a free service.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or asking a trick question, but I was talking about the pre-Thatcher/Reagan years.

Because unlike what I replied to, many comments here are insightful enough. I am definitely not interested in views of non-experts who have very firm beliefs.

you mean the inefficiencies of the 50s and 60s welfare states that made large investments in education, healthcare and moonshot projects (literally) by collecting higher taxes. Bad old days indeed.

From the abstract: "...after three decades of scholarship that have mapped neoliberalism...". Luckily we have HN crypto-bros telling those academics they did't get their terminology right.

You may learn up to a stage, when a complete beginner, by quickly and repeatedly being exposed to basic mistakes without having to think much. Afterwards it is probably detrimental indeed.

While the fundamentals are always relevant, IIRC this book has been dated even 10 years ago, when Schneier's Cryptography Engineering was already recommended instead if you wanted practical advice. For a more theoretically backed appro

That post sounds like a rant TBH with too many stabs at various people. It could have been a lot more graceful. OTOH I can believe most researchers are human and do not put the progress of shared knowledge first but are very much influenced

It seems they have rejected initial versions of the paper, since there had been later updates and clarifications based on the reviews. So it seems this was beneficial in the end and how review process should work? Especially since this was
