Isn't the ovum supposed to be a single cell? Eggs of various species can be substantially larger than this.

Interesting categorical framework. It helps make precise the distinctions between interpolation (retrieval), extrapolation (composition/search), and discovery.

How about having a large pool of unified memory and expanding the next layer (L3?) of cache to accommodate more of the CPU's the low-latency RAM usage?

1. Do you expose this dependency graph so folks can play with it / build interesting things on top? An interesting example would be to understand whether/how a version bump on one of your dependencies might affect your code. 2. Wh

Note that any cache (eg LRU-eviction) is just a specific speculative model for future usage :-) The cache can be backed by hardware/lookup, or by a cheap computation. The line between functions and data is really blurry.

Maybe have a second model that is configured to nudge the first model in the direction of exploration, and have the two of them work in tandem?

Even if companies decided to move away from expensive models from the major labs, it probably much more economical to pay a cloud provider to host some open weights model which could then be amortized across all (internal) users and do infe

I was curious about whether one could layer email-ids as an interface on top of ATProto, and get all the decentralization benefits of the latter while being easy to move on from the former. A bit of searching threw up Comail [1]. Curious to

So there's input (prompts/requests/tokens), then there's outputs (lines of code) and there's outcomes. How much have the outcomes improved? Not just yours, but I'm more curious on the outcomes with regards to t

Huffman coding assumes your corpus is a string of discrete elements (symbol strings) without any continuous structure (eg. topology/geometry). With that fairly mild assumption, it gives a recipe to reorganize (transform/encode) yo

Daniel Lemire's points about low-level hardware optimization notwithstanding, it's worth pointing out that binary search (or low-level implementation variants) is the best only if you know nothing about the data beyond the fact

Is the cost of laying fiber (via a public utility) to each household counted as part of the monthly internet bill, or is that funded separately? (eg. as part of property taxes)

Yes, and that becomes more intuitive when you "un-curry" the nested lambdas into a single lamba with twice the number of arguments. The point is that the state of a constant does not depend whatsoever on the state of the (rest of

But that also just means that BEVs will become way cheaper as companies rush to optimize value and capture users at more attractive prices.
