I don’t get this argument. const means you can’t reassign the variable, that’s it. If you don’t plan on reassigning the variable, use const. In the rare places that you don’t use const, you’re telling me that you reassign the variable somew

I would imagine that Europe's biggest problem is that most of its smartest people tend to work in the US or for US companies or universities.

Given that LLMs appear to, in large part, "think" by virtue of feeding its own input into itself, people have consistently noticed that insisting that the model "think out loud" results in higher quality reasoning. i.e.

Tokens are not multiple words, but are actually usually parts of words. The rule of thumb OpenAI uses is that there will be 100 tokens for every 75 words. If you want to just see the tokens for yourself, though, just enter some text here:

I have a tangentially related problem to this, which is that I recently bought a house from a guy that was purportedly some kind of intelligence officer. My new neighbors told me he was often going to “spy conventions.” In any event, the ho

Am I insane or can't a company just fork it from before the license change? I mean, what even needs to change in it? I assume 95% of people were just using it for the features it's had since the beginning anyway.

Probably a good thing to speed up the evolutionary landscape during these rapidly changing times.

If nothing else, the term "tensor" is shorter than "vectors and matrices," and then has the added benefit of representing n-dimensional arrays.

Isn't this just to say that they cracked SHA-256? Seems they're claiming they can find a predictable output from the hash function. For those unaware, a cryptographic hash function should ideally take an input of arbitrary size an

To me security by obscurity is limited to things like this: There is a way to view bananas at /bananas/:bananaUUID unsecured endpoint. I don’t want people to get all my banana data, but as long as there isn’t an easy way to list b

I basically agree with this but some caveats. I often find there are maybe 5% of the tests I should write that only I could write, because they deal with the specifics of the application that actually give it its primary purpose/de

If someone asked me how much it would cost to move a billion Postgres rows, I would say "probably under $100." I just had to move 500 million "rows" into S3, and it came in at about $100. I would expect S3 to be more exp

75% of carbon emissions come from energy production. If this is actually an emergency, the only feasible option at the moment is nuclear power. If anybody is talking about anything other than nuclear power, I question their motivations.

I got 62 then tried again and got 63. Seems to be about where I'm at for programming stuff. I will say that the style of code is slightly different than my own coding style which seemed to also hamper me a bit.
