Learned from an NYC exchange 10 years ago that Java can be written so as to not use garbage collection. Fast and no pause for GC. 1. Resource and reuse objects that otherwise are garbage collected. Use `new` sparingly. 2. Avoid Java idioms

Given chat and API needs for low-latency, llama.cpp is probably still the best choice for self hosted models with or without GPU support. And Ollama is the leader for wrapping llama.cpp. Because Tokasaurus was mentioned as better than Ollam

Evidence that the path to ASI is not extending the capabilities of LLMs, but instead distilling out and compiling self-improving algorithms externally in a symbolic application.

On the other, asking the LLM to generate the source and test code for a poker game would be more productive. Could actually be a better player than some people with an AI algorithm for decison making.

Fascinated by spiders and insects growing up in Upstate NY - the largest jumping spider there gets 20mm long. Their eyesight and reflexes are fast enough to stalk a landed house fly and catch it on its takeoff. Still feel comfortable today

GPT 4o-mini is 1000x less expensive than o1-pro and works well for coding tasks when examples are given in the context. Plus if your application can run queries in batches with high latency, then OpenAI batch API offers half price fees.

This well-thought article restricts the notion of code review to pull request assessment - diff file - on an existing code base, perhaps a mostly human-written legacy code base. As a Java code generation researcher, I would appreciate any c
