One could argue that Solon the Lawgiver did #1 2600 years ago - abolishing debt slavery, supposedly abolishing most debts, freeing some public lands, coming up with council of Four Hundred. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

So what would you use to classify whether a document is a critique or something else in 1M documents in a non-English language? This is a real problem I am dealing with at a library project. Each document is between 100 to 10k tokens. Most

You will have to qualify this statement heavily. We do not have any examples of a grandmaster who learned rules past age 20. One of the 19th century greats presumably learned at 17, it was Blackburne - https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Baby steps, but how useful is a 1B model these days? It seems actual domain specific usefulness (say specific programming language, translation, etc) starts at 3B models.

Just a note that the author Li Haoyi is a fantastic contributor to Scala community. He has written multiple useful libraries. Out of many JSON libraries, his one was the most intuitive and practial. His book is excellent too. I bought it wh

The RFC covers mostly coffee brewing related activities. I've always wondered if you were to have an actual networked Teapot, when would it be appropriate to send 418. I am sure there are some networked teapots already. If someone want

What is a good way to integrate Claude 3.5 Sonnet into Visual Studio Code based workflow? That is how to get the tight integration that Copilot offers but with Claude? I've been using Github Copilot since the technical preview in mid 2

Excellent list but some apples and some oranges up there. Shadcn looks quite nice, but I wish they mentioned that it is React only (as far as I can tell). Some of the above support Vue and React. Some of the above actually seem to be actual

It might be some small comfort that this "fake hiring" situation has always been around and is not limited to US and dev positions. Anecdotally, my wife applied to a large European cross-country multi-billion project as an archite

I was under the mistaken impression that you could not go beyond 2x3090 for reasonable inference speed. My assumption was that going beyond 2 cards incurs significant bandwidth penalty when going from NVLink between 2x3090s to PCIe for comm

Nice work! You've taken multiple approaches similar to what I sometimes do at the national library, I've used all kind of embeddings -> classifiers / LDA. Curious on your prompt: https://github.com/snat-s&#

The thing is we are acting like 99.9% p-zombies for most of our interactions with the world - that is we are acting unconsciosly for most of what we do. The question is where does that subjective 0.01% - the rider on top of the elephant com

Not sure what it says about me or google but my original 2004 gmail until recently had about 300,000 unread emails. Granted most of the 300k emails were in tabs like social, forums, updates, promotion. After a bit of spring purging the inbo

Indeed. For the last few years I've hated getting e-mail updates from Framework that announce their progress. The emails implore to Order Now but alas I can not as my EU country is still not supported. Plenty of businesses sell hardwar

Fantastic idea to start Django with a single file! Some years back when I had to do some quick and dirty projects, I chose to go with Flask because of how dirt simple it was to start. All the Django books and tutorials had this hidden magic

I thought Švejk to be much funnier. Rather I thought Catch-22 to be a so-so imitation of Švejk. Then again I've been re-reading Švejk since childhood. Similarly, how you can tell when Hasek dies before finishing Švejk and his friend ta
