Unfortunately I really don’t understand enough to judge about that. Could you tell me some things that made you go with a “buzzword salad” sentiment? Not as a gotcha or anything, just out of genuine curiosity. The FPGA portion (second bulle

Why can’t your two criteria be applied to projects with human contributors without further due diligence?

I’ve actually started ignoring services where that’s the only login possibility. Sorry even if your platform is the greatest thing ever, but I’ll find a different tool. I’ve read one too many stories about Google (or Apple!) closing the e

That’s the downside of requiring infinite (in the sense of “never-ending”) growth, and not being content “just” with profit.

As another anecdata-point, when we did this for a now already fairly old roof installation of about 15kWp, it was more than “just about worthwhile”, since the panel area is contiguous: cost seemed to scale up less quickly than the wattage&#

Bun uses JavaScriptCore, which is Safari’s JS engine, for the actual interpreter portion of its runtime. Which makes the parent comment’s “Bun performance hacks and optimizations” sound a little far-fetched, at least in this scenario I don’

Wasteful by whose standards? If you’re an alien civilization with several dyson spheres, surely at some point you’d have sufficient energy/resources even for such a “hopeless” science-y project, right?

10 to 15 years from now the scale of LLM efficiency improvements is, quite literally, unpredictable . It could be that the company valuations crash tomorrow, and (almost) only performance gains achievable on hobbyist-level hardware come to

Exactly. AFAIK none of the popular "open Chinese" models have published the full pre- and post-training pipeline, so the models are only partially open, if at all (plus the openly shared final weights, of course).

Yeah, I think that’s the one case where it’s actually appropriate to use that card. Like it or not, banks are legally mandated to do KYC, and this is essentially the same, except for information or communication being “moved” instead of m

Glad to hear! By the way, I never got a chance to thank you: The fireside you held at CDTM InnoLabs (I believe early 2024 was when I attended?) completely changed my thinking on direct air capture/DACCS and, to be frank, on carbon cred

First off: I’m not really well-versed in terms of UX design, so these next guesses are as good as anyone’s: - Six boxes communicate “== six digits, != password” (try to imagine the least tech-savvy user) - Some people might not be able to q

If you allow, I’m curious: If you felt familiar with the language just as much as with C/Zig/Odin, would you prefer Rust for a completely greenfield project that requires no C interop (or none more detailed than say providing a

Is the server side open-source too, as gruez brought up in the sibling comment? Technically they can still do potentially any- and everything undetected there; and for what it’s worth, even with a closed-source client bad behavior would get

Same goes for money: It enables greedy jerks to be more greedy and more of a jerky, and it enables people who e.g. voluntarily donated already to do much more in that direction, too.

It’s just inherently a difficult problem to solve, I think (just like with human individual contributors, where there famously also doesn’t exist one universal, automated process). “Good” benchmarks to gauge development skills at the moment

While that's true and pretty funny, it does make for a meaningful distinction IMO: Just like you wouldn't look at the "all Ds" student, but not the "straight A" student in order to get an impression of students
