> Not at all the take I got, it was a specific, very corporate, section about ”say nothing bad about LLMs” It was merely a “can we please not start a flame war on LLMs and focus on what is relevant to the Rust project itself”.

TL;DR; the author feels betrayed because the Rust leadership didn't take a strong stance against LLMs like the Zig team did. IMHO LLMs are causing lots of issues in the software world, especially in the open source communities but I do

Linen is the most underappreciated fabric. It's cool in both ways. I don't understand why so few people wear linen in summer.

For that to work I would need to define a custom component from JavaScript, wouldn't I? (and I thought custom components had to contain an hyphen in there name, is that wrong?)

Not really. This would not be different to <table> and associated elements, which are arguably better than a div soup.

GP said: > completely orthogonal and swappable css. You're talking about having a single CSS and HTML page for multiple layouts, there aren't the same thing at all.

LD50 is a very poor measurement for this kind of stuff though, there are plenty of stuff that can severely harm you on the long term at relatively low doses but will never realistically kill you in the short term no matter how high the dose

Maybe it's just because reducing treatment makes produces more fragile, which means by buying organic you end up eating fresher stuff just because it couldn't withstand the logistic that heavily treated food endure.

by littlestymaar 4mo ago
The problem is that there's a part that's true (the “organic” label is based in part on “appeal to nature”, allowing certain stuff on the basis that it is natural, which truly isn't a great way of drawing the limit). So of co

So, it's D-Flash but at each transformer layer and share the KV cache of the original model? Very smart!

Stylometry has existed for decades, and there's no way an LLM is stronger at that job than a specialized piece of software (it's not more realistic than expecting Opus to beat Stockfish at chess). In practice, you've never be

How can a medium-sized model like Deepseek-V4-Flash be cheaper than a much smaller models like Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. It's five times bigger in both total and active parameters!
