Just to clarify the above: 1. I use the term "performance" slightly vaguely. It's comprised of two distinct things: the time it takes to compile the code, and the execution time. The issue is the compilation time: there are c

That's part of the answer, but there's a bit more to it IMO. The syntax is a bit weird; python, swift, rust, and zig feel more parsimonious. I absolutely love multimethods, but I think the language would have been better served by

Interesting article! FYI I clicked on joinkith.com and got: "Application error: a server-side exception has occurred while loading joinkith.com (see the server logs for more information)."

This is going to make the US look less predictable to adversaries, and that's, on balance, perhaps not such a bad thing. It will be interesting to observe how the aftermath unfolds. If the US succeeds in installing a gov't which g

First, wine was widely panned for years before it stopped sucking. Second, you're simply ignoring that parent poster mentioned Ladybird, a non-rust project which is advancing much more speedily than servo. And I think they have a valid

C != C-derived languages In C++ this was possible already in C++03. OTOH, it wasn't until recently that you were able to write something like `std::array<T, N>` in rust. Even now, there are restrictions on the kinds of expression

Rumelhart et al wrote "Parallel Distributed Processing"; there's a chapter where he proves that the backprop algorithm maximizes "harmony", which is simply a different formulation of error minimization. I remember r

Excellent write-up! Many thanks for your effort. IIUC, the iterators stuff basically makes the task of creating iterator adaptors easier. Note that boost already provides similar facilities in the STLInterfaces library: https://w

The authors of the paper address this argument in the QA section.

Anyway a 2-5-1 is the rotation of a diatonic substitution of a 1-4-5 (2 for 4). Only one note difference between those two chord changes.

Agree completely. I assume OP means major or minor 7th chord - they can't possibly mean dominant 7th, because...does there even exist a single blues song which doesn't have that chord? And let's say you take maj7 chords - &qu

One of the drawings had the inscription 'I am a wild beast' -- that's 5-7 year old territory. Ofc it's possible that I'm missing some cultural nuance, but the picture is consistent with precocious-little-kid-with-vi

Interesting comment, but Germany's much-vaunted Mittelstand is in its initial death throes. Key industries and IP are being auctioned off to the highest bidder, not the least, for lack of heirs. It isn't universally acknowledged,

I see what you're saying, but looking at the video, which shows playgrounds and notes, I'm quite excited to try this because it looks a lot like jupyterlab. Jupyterlab is familiar to any data scientist, but while it's easy to

I totally agree, and this community far is from the worst. In trans communities there's incredible hostility towards LLMs - even local ones. "You're ripping off artists", "A pissing contest for tech bros", etc.

This is true. In addition, the "good German bureaucracy" is a farce, run by paper (and fax!), with opaque, antiquated rules, expressed in impenetrable _Beamtendeutsch_ -- which expats need to hire professional help to navigate. Ad

I guess if undersea cable sabotages were to increase, you would want to be long Starlink. I suppose that's not immune to sabotage either, but you need a rocket programme to do it.

Could someone explain how this is implemented? I saw on Meta's Llama page that the model has intrinsic support for structured output. My 30k ft mental model of LLM is as a text completer, so it's not clear to me how this is accomp

For me, copying to the cloud is a deal-breaker (I switched to proton mail for a reason!). Fortunately, there's Thunderbird. I don't trust Microsoft not to do dodgy Google-like things with my data at this point.

Interesting comment. I'm not an expert in CNNs but what you're saying makes a lot of sense. Question: are you saying the final layer is "in effect" a linear combination? At least in transformer architectures, the dense e

There's definitely xor type nonlinearities going on in factor models of personality types. The interaction between two factors is often very different at the extrema of each factor - often flipping sign. Regression models can't ca

It seems every language starts with free functions and classes (even mojo). They then realize that isn't so great: third parties are at a syntactic disadvantage (no dot fn's). And then, the language designers "fix" the p

I would drop it where an interlocutor is specifically referenced. So 'oh man' is ok. But c'mon man usually expresses disagreement with a specific person. So while I would certainly say c'mon man to a trans or cis masc (

Heya, I really appreciate you actually listening to what I said, instead of splitting hairs and arguing with me! Empathy is such a lovely quality. To answer your question, I would (did, hihi) drop the 'man'. If you want to remain

Isn't the 'hey man' a bit of a leap? From the username it's hard for me to tell, and the profile doesn't mention preferred pronouns. I don't want to start a fight, and basically agree with your comment. It&#x27
