MiniGPT-4 is a multimodal model. The name (a bad one, IMO) is a reference to GPT-4's multimodal capability.

Because there are no advantages and only disadvantages of using async Rust. Async Rust is harder to use, and by assumption you don't need async Rust performance.

Your CRUD web application server almost certainly doesn't need async Rust. Using a blocking HTTP server is not "might be a good idea", it simply is a good idea. I recommend Rouille for this: https://github.com&#x2F

Eh, in that case, you can also just write single or multithreaded Rust code, entirely ignoring async Rust. I do. And multithreaded Rust is much more pleasant experience than multithreaded C++. Which dependency is forcing async Rust on you?

Or OpenAI can stop being stupid and adopt LLaMA-like tokenization, which special cases numbers and tokenize them into individual digits.

In my experience, GPT-4 answers "I don't know" fairly frequently.

They are meant to be evocative, but it is best to consider them as arbitrary tokens. There is no close analog in other languages.

What evasiveness? To me it is very clear what is going on.

Safari is like 30% faster than Chrome on JetStream. I have no idea why people think V8 is the fastest engine around.

Safari has the fastest JavaScript engine by far. It has been #1 on JetStream for years by large margin, JavaScriptCore greatly outperforming both V8 and SpiderMonkey.

Chrome has better network stack. For most other things Firefox is faster, but of course, network is the most important.

I think the fact that it will be added to POSIX was decisive.

Distributing clean needles is useful, yes, but you should still lament why it is necessary.

Inefficiency probably doesn't need any comment (these functions traverse string twice instead of once). His argument that string length should be always known is correct in theory although not in practice.

Yes.

He is not wrong, is he? If you are using null terminated strings that's the thing you need to fix. I still support this addition. If you are doing methamphetamine with needle sharing you should stop methamphetamine, but distributing cl

Celera used HGP data but not vice versa, so that's not a fair comparison. Celera's use of shotgun sequencing was an inspired choice, but even in retrospect it wasn't obviously superior to HGP's chain termination. It was

userfaultfd was ~2015 ( https://lwn.net/Articles/636226/ ), so Microsoft couldn't use it at the time. It could be better, but yes, Linux is making progress. Even in current form, userfaultfd is useful for GC, s

For example, Windows kernel's write watch feature is useful for writing a GC. Linux lacked (and as far as I know, still lacks) this feature, so Microsoft had to rewrite .NET runtime. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotne

I think competition driven by low-cost carriers produced enormous value by lowering fares. From my admittedly uninformed viewpoint, I am not sure why airlines market can produce competition benefiting customers and rail market can't.

Re: debugger. It's the opposite for me. rr is the best debugger period, so I am miserable whenever I need to debug on Windows or macOS where rr doesn't work.

Have you tried it? You are right in general, but even if you don't write anything in Python, CPython runtime constantly writes to heap, so everything is copied. You need specific support from CPython runtime to exploit copy-on-write. T

True. But it is also self-correcting, since monopoly profit will attract competitors. AMD seems to be the most likely candidate.

NVIDIA became a monopoly by building superior products. It's not like they became a monopoly by anti-competitive practices.

Yes, it was controversial in 2017, but the dust settled and in six years since it was generally accepted to be legal. My point is that Red Hat is not trying something new. There are precedents and it is an explored territory.

How is it against freedom 4? You can distribute modified versions to the end of the world. You just don't get access to future modifications made by Red Hat. You are not entitled, neither legally nor morally, to Red Hat's future m
