This site is excellent. I emailed the author to thank them after reading it cover to cover, and they replied and asked if anything was unclear or if there was anything I wanted to see explored more. Quite the dedication to a free resource!

But this document does not. Note it says 12.5%, not 12,5%. 1 TWh on the scale of a country is very little - a 1 GW nuclear plant operating continuously would generate over 8 TWh a year. Nevertheless the back of the napkin math of land requi

Ember is an absolute treasure. Often you'll see articles on HN from places like Elektrek which are blogspam linking back to Ember's original reporting. Their electricity data explorer is to my knowledge the most complete on the op

Could you macroexpand your claims a little here? "An example of the unaddressed complexity: use of acquire-release semantics for head_ and tail_ atomics imposes no ordering whatsoever between observations of head_ and tail_." The

How did you test with 1024 players - were they real? Often synthetic loads are very different to those caused by real players.

I owned an i9 MBP with a discrete GPU. It absolutely was too thin. The CPU and GPU ran hot, it throttled like crazy. It would drain battery while USB-C docked while idling. Worst laptop I've ever owned. The M1 Max I replaced it with wa

It's all about relative difficulty. It's not trivial to convince LLM vendors to include your pet new language in their internal synthetic datasets, and you can build your own and publish it but it'll be fiddly and expensive.

Coding is a verifiable domain, so I think you actually have it backwards on that first point. We can now synthesize Stack Overflow sized datasets for an arbitrary new language, and use those to train LLMs to understand it. It's expensi

It would have been a super reasonable reply to talk about the history of TypeScript, why fundamentally its types exist to retroactively describe complicated datastructures encountered in real world JavaScript. And why when TypeScript overst

Nah, the analogy for your argument is: Two Americans and ten Chinese are on a lifeboat. The Americans are each eating two sandwiches a day and the Chinese are eating one. Supplies are low. You do the math and note that the Chinese sure are

But how did he find out about that line? If he was intentionally reading the notes his wife took of attorney meetings regarding their divorce, you may want to consider the possibility that the DVRO was genuinely sought.

Parakeet V3 is over twice the parameter count of Moonshine Medium (600m vs 245m), so it's not an apples to apples comparison. I'm actually a little surprised they haven't added model size to that chart.

Proceeds going to charity is a must for me - it keeps it friendly and significantly reduces the impact of counterparty risk. There's a reason Long Now uses this format, and I'm happy to use their platform and pay the fee: https:&

Claude Code would have been science fiction five years ago. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth over a few papercuts.

No, they're generally pretty solid. Once an hour one will crash, and sometimes there are performance problems, but it's a very workable setup.

I think this is doable for very long tail experts that get swapped in for specialised topics - say, orbital mechanics. But for experts that light up at, say, 1% frequency per batch, you're doing an awful lot of transfers from DRAM whic

Yeah, I've got a 7950x and 64gb memory. My vibe coding setup for Bevy game development is eight Claude Code instances split across a single terminal window. It's magical. I tried the desktop app and was shocked at the performance.

by reitzensteinm 8mo ago
I think part of the issue is that in production deployments, you're batching high enough that you'll be paging in those long tail experts constantly. Unless you're handing that in some kind of fancy way, you'll be holdin

Loom does exhaustive search, with clever methods to prune it. On real world programs, you have to set a limit to that because it obviously grows extremely quickly even with the pruning. I've built something similar to Loom, except it&#

Well, even if the levels are well made and I've just got poor taste, Half Life was such a tightly designed package, introducing new weapons, things to play with (like the trains), enemies, environment modifiers at a steady pace. Replac

Black Mesa is an almost exact copy of Half Life at the start, and where that's true it's incredibly well done. Feels very much like a remaster. Unfortunately, by the end of the earth levels and certainly on Xen, the levels switch

But coding is largely trained on synthetic data. For example, Claude can fluently generate Bevy code as of the training cutoff date, and there's no way there's enough training data on the web to explain this. There's an agent

It's a good call out re: tokens vs letters, but I think you might have misunderstood my point - you can't do it a token at a time unless the intermediate KV cache is stored after each token is generated. This won't be the cas
