Funny that you say this, the more common view I've heard is "we made JS way faster why can't we do that for python". I believe I heard Mark Shannon (one of the lead devs on Faster CPython) say this at one point.

I haven't followed things recently but I know that at least initially they purposefully kept the bytecode intact so that existing debuggers and compilers and what not would still work. I believe they put the optimized bytecode in a dif

I always dislike the "requests per month" metric because it seems like a transparent attempt to impress with a larger absolute number: 500k requests/month is 5sec per request, which feels pretty underwhelming

I built something that summarizes hacker news discussion pages for me, and I have been very pleasantly surprised how much nicer it is to read "angryuser1 and angryuser2 got into a heated discussion" than to actually read the discu

I believe the cuda stuff, via Nvidia licensing restrictions, is forced to live outside of these packaging systems (so that you sign a Nvidia eula). Not saying this is a good thing but I think that none of the systems you mentioned would han

I think part of the problem is that it's technically correct to say "my product does X" even if it does X extremely poorly. I'm not sure if this can be changed because any line for "does-X vs does-not-adequately-do-

I don't quite understand this. The returns to scale have always been sublinear (ie "diminishing"), but the scale-maximalists didn't worry about that before. Also I heard Sam tout on the Lex Friedman podcast how amazing i

I think this is amazing that this is written by someone in the field, so it's possible it was motivated by personal experience. I just picture someone saying "ugh my peers are only more successful than me because they're more

Do you have any evidence that this is GPT-3.5 level, or are you just repeating what they said? We have an abundance of claimed capabilities already; that's not what's lacking.

Bold of you to assume that people actually run GPT based loops!

While I'm with you on being against dark patterns and unethical behavior, anti-cheat feels different in that it seems pretty honestly an effort to make the game better for players (the non cheaters, at least). I haven't seen any a

It seems like the people who are massively over-hyping AutoGPT have never used it. It's fascinating how the entire hype cycle can be based on an idea of what's been done as opposed to what's actually been done. As to the tool

Just be careful, it's trained to give you answers you like, and in particular to agree with you. Vaguely similar to saying "Twitter shows me a lot of people agreeing with me", the algorithm does that because people like it.

Here's an example that I think garners more agreement that properties of a limit ("really understanding") don't necessarily mean that any path towards that limit has the properties of the limit. I think there's a lo

I'm a bit rusty on the details, but I think the general reason that GPUs have less memory than you want is because they are typically optimized for throughput, which limits capacity in a couple ways. One is higher power consumption, an

These articles/letters seem to just say "this is an important issue and I really hope someone else solves it!" and feel like passing the buck to me. Maybe it's more defensible from a journalist/author, but even that

I think the silver lining of loneliness being so prevalent is that other people are feeling it too and want to do something about it. Knowing nothing about your situation I would guess that statistically if you're feeling lonely then y

There was a post on here maybe a few months ago (couldn't find it right now) about how a certain percentage of people will just answer polls randomly/adversarially/jokingly, and I think the number they gave was something like

I also discovered a parallel effect that at least in my case is a bigger issue: if you strain while thinking, you can end up engaging head muscles which can fatigue quickly and become painful. For me, thinking hard hurts and I thought it wa

I said this when FTX collapsed: I think FTX at least made a token effort to be legitimate, and Binance does not. Binance just hadn't gotten caught yet -- I think they will end up being worse than FTX. In behavior at least; the crypto e
