Ah, that makes sense. After all, Anthropic is selling tokens, so they would like you to consume more of them.

I find it likely that we are still missing a few major efficiency tricks with LLMs. But I would also not underestimate the amount of implicit knowledge and skill an LLM is expected to carry on a meta level.

I never thought that it would be a promising approach to build entire web apps using wasm. You don't just have to make it possible to interact with the DOM. You also have to have the right high level language to do this kind of DOM int

idk, debian for example uses plain text files. I have to imagine it would bring some advantages to move that over to an sqlite to improve performance, but then it seems package management designers fall into the two categories of either und

I would argue LWW is the opposite of a merge. It is better to immediately know at the time of writing that there is a conflict. CRDTs either solve or (in this case) don't solve a problem that doesn't really exist, especially for p

Sorry, I am turned off by the CRDT in there. It immediately smells of overengineering to me. Not that I believe git is a better database. But why not just SQL?

I think this is speaking in the absense of sufficient protections like laws. Because how does it help that a hypothetical law protects you if that law doesn't exist?

I am surprised that Taiwan and China are not mentioned in the article or in these comments. Given the threat that China will get to Taiwan and capture control over the unrivaled TSMC, investing into silicon while we can is pure and simple d

The meaning of the term "opt-in" is that it is off by default and has to be manually enabled. "opt-out" means it is on by default and you have to manually turn it off. "opt-in-by-default" or "opted in by d

Well I would say that the machine should not override the human input. But if the machine makes up the plans in the first place, then why should it not be allowed to change the plans? I think that the hilarious part in modifying tests to ma

It's the kind of thing you do with macros in C++.

Far more common than what exactly? Because if you look at the range of the exponent, you should still come to the conclusion that floats can represent more non-integer numbers than integer numbers.

Rebuilding from scratch also takes longer than installing a prebuilt package. So while it might be worth it for a heavily used application, in general I doubt it. Also I think in earlier days the argument to build was so you can optimize th

Just that none of the parsing methods I learned are actually used commonly in most real compilers.

I find it exceedingly likely that they lose money on every kindle fire sold (at least during one of their regular sales), unless it causes more content sales. So the solution is of course to make it as useless as possible for anything else,

Same here. My ISP recently did a promo to try out 1G/1G for free for a few months. I decided not to buy it after the free trial and went back to my old 500/200 line instead of paying 40% more. Yeah, it takes a minute longer downlo

This logic makes absolutely zero sense. If a house is uninsurable, people will choose to live there without insurance. But if the house is insurable for a high cost people will not? They can still choose to not buy the expensive insurable a

I bought an old used desktop computer, a used 3090, and upgraded the power supply, all for around 900€. Didn't assemble it all yet. But it will be able to comfortably run 30B parameter models with 30-40 T/s. The M4 Max can do ~10

Agreed. The workaround (arrays of strings) isn't great as it means an extra transformation has to be done between the reader and the usage. I would go so far as to say this is more important than comments.

It isn't. Targeted ads are much more valuable, to the point that fully random ads have almost no value at all. Btw. you can tell. If you regularly delete cookies you get much fewer ads. They like to say that if you don't allow&#x2

The thing is that without migration, demographics are extremely predictable for a very long time. People that don't exist can't have kids. They can't be coerced to have kids. And they can't have grandchildren either. Eve

Correction: if you want to know if your compiler is correct, you look at the ISO standard. But even as a compiler writer, the ISO standard is not exhaustive. For example the ISO standard doesn't define stuff like include directories, s
