How does their top tier subscription compare in usage limits to the $200/mo Claude usage limits?

Totally matches my experience, and it feels bizarre inside-looking-out that nobody else talks about it. Hardware from 2010-2020 was remarkably stable, and CPUs are still as stable as they were, but we've had this large influx of money

But that's kind of my point, they already are. You can write python bindings for basically everything, everything is python-adjacent.

Yikes, gross. That’s like an option of last resort IMO. I’d rather maintain the clean loop-based code unless I had evidence that the compiler was doing the wrong thing and it was in my critical path.

I didn’t write the GP comment. I wouldn’t call this basic and essential, but I would say that compilers have been doing similar loop simplifications for quite some time. I’d expect any mid to senior developer with C/C++ on their resume

Whether they get the question exactly right and can pinpoint the specific compiler passes or algebraic properties responsible for reductions like this is totally irrelevant and not what you’re actually looking for or asking about. It’s a ve

This is such a weird project. Like where is this running at scale? Where’s the realistic plan to ever run this at scale? What’s the end goal here? Don’t get me wrong... It’s super cool, but I fail to understand why money is being spent on t

The fundamental problem with bubbles like this, is that you get people like this who are able to take advantage of the The Gell-Mann amnesia effect, except the details that they’re wrong about are so niche that there’s a vanishingly small g

If you do this, you forego both backwards and forwards compatibility. You must follow the driver release cadence exactly, and rebuild all of your code for every driver you want to support when a new release happens, or you risk subtle break

What constraints/coordination exists with this, in terms of host driver support? What enforces that Nix does not attempt to use a newer cuda toolkit on a host with an older cuda driver?

I love how you can clearly make out the VFR EAA approach going into Oshkosh from Ripon. It’s only one week out of the year, but there’s so much traffic in that week that it still stands out.
