They deemed getting to the market fast was more important than hardware costs. If their architecture is good, then they were probably really quick and flexible using Python to glue their architecture together which would have been the devel

I scan through files in chunks, with particular questions for the LLM, building up a context that is eventually used to write the test.

With regards to 1, I think these companies are the wrong ones to target. Oil companies are not the ones who are emitting CO2, they just bring the hydrocarbons to the surface and put it in containers. It's the big buyers of those contai

That's it precisely. I'm working on the exact same thing GPT-migrate is doing, but I'm approaching it from the other direction first. My project is trying to generate a test suite that aims to cover the full original function

I think a lot of us are working heads down in isolation because we don't have a shareworthy project yet. In a week or two I think my system will be fancy enough to write a blog post about and maybe make open source. HN has been a prett

Don't directly expose your servers to the web, proxy them through some other provider so that whenever that provider falls under pressure you already have the infrastructure to move to different ip addresses and you don't have to

I'm building a tool using system, and one of the problems I had is that it would hallucinate the tool answers before actually sending the question to the tool. It really is just a system that completes documents, it doesn't care a

I've not seen that number before, what paper is that where there's a loss of less than 1% on the validation/test set?

Thanks, I didn't realise the usable address space was so "small", those numbers are well within reasonable usage so that's definitely too limiting to just say it's infinite and not worry about it.

I thought on 64 bit systems the stack could basically be infinite for all practical purposes. Is this only a problem on more limited (i.e. <64bit) systems or am I misremembering when I last learned about stacks 10+ years ago?

It suffers from the same problem C++ does though, it's got a broken "prelude" and the committee just doesn't have the courage to ever fix it. Weirdly a long time ago the opinion was that since the language was academic t

It's more complex than that, they are trained to model their language and understanding of a concept to match the author. There is not enough memory in the network to remember the actual text. It's like giving a talented an artist

Trump's election proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the elections are as fair as they could ever be. Not in a million years would anyone in any establishment left or right have wished for Trump to be president in 2016. Yet it happe

I was just yesterday wondering how I was going to incorporate search into my autonomous agent. I think I'm going to have to wrap an agent around Bing but if there was a cleaner option with per query pricing I'd definitely try it o

If Mesos has managed to be slightly more useful, it would have been a Kubernetes written in C++ situation. Of course in my opinion it being written in C++ was the whole reason it had limited usability so it probably would never be.

Just to set the context: I like Golang as a language, but I think writing a program that's more than ~10k lines of code in Golang is a mistake (honestly, the limit is probably a lot lower), and I also don't think they should'

You had the right understanding in your first comment, but what was missing was the fine tuning. You are right that there aren't many documents on the web that are structured that way, so the raw model wouldn't be very effective o

I think they're talking about GPG, not SPF/DKIM/DMARC. Which is a risky thing to do, because most people don't associate GPG with positive feelings about well designed solutions, but they're right in that it works w

If your kid can achieve absolute pitch in geometric space, like.. epsg:4978? That would be epic. Your kid could always tell you what coordinates you're at if you're standing at a known angle.

Thank you! I think you're right and I'm mistaken. I'm basing it off one time eating a gyros in a residential neighbourhood in Athens that had a delicious soft cheese in it that tasted like feta but was not it. Someone told me

by tinco 3y ago
It definitely is feta, but it's old. It's also definitely good, I don't think even Greek people would object to it. Obviously eating feta that's made the same morning you eat it isn't a feasible thing to always do.
