So basically you get hired with 10-15 years of experience and you start nothing but by earning trust fixing small problems for how long? That sounds like a great way to get into the "does not meet expectations" territory very quic

I don't think it's fair to call out Anthropic to have become evil-ized while they were quite literally forced by the gov into that decision.

Ah, I see. Do I understand correctly that this means that for a given instance of polymorphic object I can switch between static polymorphism and dynamic dispatch, and use them both simultaneously? How is this useful in practical terms, lik

by menaerus 8mo ago
Exactly but they are not orthogonal as you try to make them to be. That's just trivializing things too much, ignoring all the nuance. You sound like my uncle who has spent a career in the IT but never really touched the programming but

I'm not conflating one with each other, I am saying that "coding skill" when dealing with difficult topics at hand is not just a "coding skill" anymore. It's part of the problem.

On one such engineer there's hundreds or thousands of others executing the idea into work so your premise about "Code is a very small part of the overall picture" is obviously very wrong. You wouldn't need to hire that m

by menaerus 8mo ago
Different type of "coding skills" and different type of complexities make these two impossible to put into the same bucket of "still easy". You've probably never done the latter so you're under impression that

Ok, then I may have misunderstood what you were saying. If the only thing we are interested is to store all the weights into the block RAM or LUTs then, yeah, that wouldn't be possible. I understood the OPs question a bit differently t

Reading from and to memory alone takes much more than a clock cycle.

Not sure what you're on but I think what you said is incorrect. You can use hi-density HBM-enabled FPGA with (LP)DDR5 with sufficient number of logic elements to implement the inference. Reason why we don't see it in action is mos

Sure, the workload was with both the readers and the writers, and it was a pretty "bursty" one with high volume of data which had to scale across all the cores. So, not a particularly light workload. It was basically a hi-concurre

What are some of the other problems with rwlocks? I genuinely ask because I used them with quite good success for pretty complicated use-case at large scale and very high concurrency.

Why would you go and work for a company that markets itself in the blog post that they just managed to automate a substantial part of the software engineering work?
225.
by menaerus 8mo ago
As if asking someone to support their pretty substantial claims is all of the sudden called entitled attitude? No, that's just how people reason about different views. You should understand that when you say something you should be abl

If you read thoroughly through Stripe blog, you will see that they feed their model already with this or similar type of information. Being plugged into the meetings might just mean feed the model with the meeting minutes or let the model l

by menaerus 8mo ago
I mean if the model can reason about making the changes on the large-scale repository then this implies it can also reason about the change somebody else did, no? I kinda agree and disagree with you at the same time, which is why I said mos

Agents can already do the review by themselves. I'd be surprised they review all of the code by hand. They probably can't mention it due to the regulatory of the field itself. But from what I have seen agentic review tools are alr

They mention "Why did we build it ourselves" in the part1 series: https://stripe.dev/blog/minions-stripes-one-shot-end-to-end-... However, it is also light on material. I would also like to hear more technica

It wrote a solution by itself, from the scratch, with dozens of little type traits, just as I would do. Really clean code. And the problem at hand is not the mathematical, linear algebra one. I gave that example just for easier understandin

I think you meant to say incompetent leadership.

Did you already forget about the AlphaZero?

by menaerus 8mo ago
I don't know ... as of now I am literally instructing it to solve the chained expression computation problem which incurs a lot of temporary variables, of which some can be elided by the compiler and some cannot. Think linear algebra e

In high-performance teams it is. In bike-shedding environments of course it is not.

Ok, I see, thanks for the example. Is this technique used to avoid the potential runtime performance cost because one would otherwise need to keep that object elsewhere/heap and not on a stack? Or is the problem definition something el
237.
by menaerus 8mo ago
I don't understand this example: you're taking an address of local-scope stack object, storing it into a global list, and then use this address elsewhere in the code, possibly at different time-point, to manipulate with the object

LLMs as chatbots are the least interesting application of LLMs.

No, I just didn't find any evidence that ASML licences "their core tech" from US. Let it be EUV but I still can't find any sources on it. Do you have some?
