I think so is upper level CS, there are fields in CS that are foreign to me too, there is a lot of depth in CS, computing is a very deep field for instance ML research although may seem simple isn't quite so intuition based as people m

This is not true, 99% is very exaggerated claim, but yeah you can learn 50-60% of the field at a surface level in months rather than years. But you can have a surface level understanding of mathematical topics as well, ofc some topics might

Definitely a lot of people have very surface level understanding of tcp and computer science concepts. I have had folks tell me cache is just cache in actual interviews. When I have asked them to explain the concept to me, but even beyond t

Again, you are underestimating how much effort it takes to understand how an 8086 CPU works. There are a lot of foundational concepts that you are simply assuming the person already understands. That may be a reasonable assumption for a CS

This is also true for almost every other field, even within computer science. The only difference is that a lot of people operate at a very surface level without realizing just how much background knowledge they have accumulated. Think abou

True, Given I am young, hobbyist, and have written a lot of AI libraries for myself and small companies for local deployments, and can't afford any serious Nvidia hardware I will switch to whoever can get me a system with enough VRAM f

To Nvidia the biggest threat is a capex cut from big tech not another company in the same domain, maybe some Chinese companies but people aren't going to be moving off of Nvidia for large deployments in the short term even if some TPU&

The name is probably not the best fit but if we can get a good solution that's not horrible that's easy to self host I and open-source I am fine with it. Though I fear this might not be well maintained or have a good foundation be

This is the first time it has happened to a tool I use and have helped friends adopt it. Again I don't condone it but this gets very annoying to explain that everything is renamed now to X instead of Y to your uncles and friends...

How is that a memory safety issue in Rust compiler? What point are we making here. Am I just too dense to understand, is how the hell is that a need unsafe issue? Or anything to do with compilers???

This is very common in a lot of industries especially physical goods and medicine. You end up leverage for all the goods but the final settlement of payment happens much later, making them hard to survive in without a lot of capital and goo

Speed of compilation feels like a distant second in terms of goals given the weird new generic features they keep adding.. I was fine with basic generics they complicated it quite a bit much for my liking.

I don't want to say this but Nemotron is not worth running on any sillicon, given Nvidia has been doing it for 3+ years, if Nvidia instead gave away GLM or KIMI API for free no one would use Nemotron the reason it's so wildly used

For a first model, and given it's open, I am gaining some faith in American Open research labs again... I couldn't test it since it's not on openrouter or something, but even if it's only as good as GLM5.1 that's mo

I can only say I am a little too optimistic about the technology world in general. Or at least would love to see some good news once in a while given the state of the world.
