Isn't 1+2 just reverse TDD?

Funny how someone implicitly reveals his political affiliation with a short sentence.

I agree completely. That's why I pushed back on "nothing to do" from the OP. Maybe it was a small contribution, but calling it "corruption" is ridiculous.

I never really understood how people can wear headphones all day. I have the XM5 headphones, and after a couple of hours, it starts hurting my head. What am I doing wrong? I also have the earbuds of the same generation, and they're muc

Isn't distillation done through SFT by having the student model approximate the teacher's output distribution?

They were impersonating an AI. You wouldn't complain that a comic started impersonating a celebrity without saying "I'm going to impersonate X now" first.

Agree with sibling. If you're getting severely deteriorated results with structured output, you're probably doing something wrong. There's been some research on the impact of structured outputs on results distribution, and th

Verifying authorship is an ambiguous task. How much involvement is necessary to qualify for authorship? If someone reads the paper and gives some small feedback, is that enough? What if they were present in one meeting and raised a question

Peer reviews is largely done for free. In some cases, an author needs to commit to reviewing someone else's work for their work to be reviewed. However, this has led to an increase in LLM usage for review generation, even if conference

Maintaining a Web browser is hard. I'm not convinced that an open source community would be able to continue the development.

Reasoning models will frequently backtrack and re-assess what they've said so far. That's one reason test-time scaling is so powerful.

OR has some very interesting algorithms for very interesting problems. I don't do research on it anymore, but going to OR conferences was always interesting. Good mix of practitioners, researchers and end users. I'm way behind SOT

How often have you encountered code that adds a timeout to regex matching?
46.
by maleldil 1mo ago
I think that Swift is the exception that proves the rule. The fact that it is notorious for giving up on certain type checks indicates that it isn't a problem for most languages.

I'm not sure it's what Google does, but on YouTube, The Quantified Scientist compares smartwatches against a dedicated EEG headband.

My experience is so different from this. I love the stock strap. I've never found the watch at 0% on the charger. The charge is magnetic, so it's really obvious when it's actually charging. The apps do everything I need them

The Astral Codex Ten post[1] linked in the sibling comment is interesting. [1] https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/come-on-obviously-the-purpo...

You can have that with generic functions, although Go's lambda syntax is too verbose. The slices package has DeleteFunc, which is kind of the opposite. I don't know why they have Filter. https://pkg.go.dev/slices#D

I don't get why this is a big issue. This isn't some recurrent decision to be made. It's something a lead decides once and the project follows. That's it. Many companies have style guides anyway (eg Google[1]); the choic

Bad example. Ruff's formatter has the same style as Black. It's documented as a "drop-in replacement". The difference is mostly performance. In any case, that's a single decision the project lead takes once.

It's JIT only, and it needs to be in a particular shape to be effectively compiled. It's mostly for numeric code, but there are many other cases where native code would be better.

Haskell has significant indentation and anonymous functions.

I'm familiar with Ai2. I've used their resources extensively over the years. However, no one is using Olmo for "serious" work, and the name is only known to a small subset in academia.

Is there any relevant model that meets that "open source" definition?
