Interesting. Portuguese (at least Brazilian, not sure how it is in Portugal) uses você for the 2nd person pronoun (and doesn't maintain a formal/informal distinction), and você came from vossa mercê. Since that's where usted,

This just shows how great of an acquisition GitHub was for Microsoft. Having access to all that code is a real differentiator for training. I've heard that code helps models more generally, with reasoning and language, because it'

I mean, I wouldn't expect problems if the thing were called "Buttercup" would you? Or what about "Button"? "Saturday" (which has "turd" in it)? Are there problems with a Harpoon ("poon"

Why? I think it's a fine name, better than most, because it's a normal English word that says exactly what it does / what it's for. You're not just saying that because the word happens to end in "butt" are

Confusingly, Pro is the free version. Ultra is the paid one. What some people have access to here is the next-ish generation of Pro, 1.5, which sports a huge context window. I haven't heard anything about an Ultra 1.5 yet. (As a payi

Wow, I'm impressed. I pay for GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra, just to try to keep tabs on where the latest and greatest are. I recently had a slack conversation with some friends, and someone introduced the made up acronym DILCOLTK, in the con

Everyone on Transformer News will be talking about the latest web framework for GPT-7 and how to horizontally scale their system to handle dozens of requests a second, and how when you need to scale beyond that it will "be a good probl

I think this is all a bit silly, but if we're complaining anyway, I'll throw my hat in the ring as an American of Hispanic descent. Maybe I'm just being particularly sensitive, but it seems to me that while people are complai

Maybe I'm stretching the analogy too far, but are we in the transistor regime of LLMs already? Sometimes I see these 70 billion parameter monstrosities and think we're still building ENIAC out of vacuum tubes. In other words, are

That's why the "highly clinically meaningful" part of the quote is there.

Oh, is that what they mean? I set "Search Mode" to "newEditor" immediately whenever I configure VSCode on a new computer, since the default behavior of opening in the side panel is such hot garbage. I entirely forgot t

Mmm, -ish. I searched for an extension in VSCode when I saw it in Zed, and that extension came up. But it looks like you still have to open the editor tab to save it and stuff. It was much more streamlined in Zed. You just made the change r

I don't seem to have that. There's nothing to the right of my "x results in y files" summary. Maybe you have an extension installed?

He'll be paying $1.7B on the sale in taxes federally. It looks like by moving from Washington State he's not paying those $0.6B to the state, though. If I'm understanding that article correctly.

I don't use Zed, but I noticed José Valim using it when he was live streaming a coding session. I mostly use VSCode, but one feature he used in Zed was really compelling: he did a "Find All", which was similar to VSCode in th

That's interesting. It made me think of a potential feature for upcoming cameras that essentially cryptographically sign their videos. If this became a real issue in the future, I could see Apple introducing it in a new model. "No

I'm pretty excited about the increased context length (e.g. in my other comment here[0]), but I'm kind of disappointed by the examples here. The codebase is 100k lines, but the tasks it gave it seemed to be focused on just hundred

If I understand correctly, they're releasing this for Pro but not Ultra, which I think is akin to GPT 3.5 vs 4? Sigh, the naming is confusing... But my main takeaway is the huge context window! Up to a million, with more than 100k toke

Eh, I had one and in the end I just didn't find it that great. It was slow, the resistive touch screen was finicky, and there wasn't good apps or software for it. I remember being in a bar once with a friend and we were racing to

Ever since Elixir 1.12, which introduced the `Mix.install[..]` at the beginning of the script, Elixir has been awesome for this sort of thing. Prior to that, it just wasn't worth it. I'm surprised the testing worked like that, wit

I had our gas furnace replaced this past November, a 100k BTU Rheem one, for $2,200. This was outside Chicago in Northwest Indiana, though, which is a pretty low cost of living area. I spent some time trying to get a heat pump instead, but

A follow-up comment by the author indicates much of this is a bug having to do with Excel specifically, since a lossless PNG screenshot doesn't exhibit this behavior.

FYI, a monthly bill is essentially useless information. How big is your house? What are you using it for? How efficient is your fridge? Your A/C? How much is the fixed cost part of the bill? Etc. I'm assuming, since you mention Sa

I've only read your link there, but aren't you mischaracterizing it? The Chevron doctrine isn't what allows agencies like the FCC to make rulings like this, it's what protects their decisions from being overruled by the
