It might be a helpful framing to think of handling emotions and dealing with adversity as life skills, like cooking. There isn't one single "correct" way to cook. Most people pick up some cooking skills naturally as they grow

If it was said about e.g. accounting it could come off as snobbery. Everyone knows that being a poet requires imagination, so no one is going to see it as anything other than a light-hearted joke.

It's Japanese for river, presumably following the same naming logic as e.g. Flume.

> Also, lightweight printf debugging is often more appropriate than using an unwieldy debugger. Then use a good one! :) This is tongue in cheek, of course, but think about steps 2 and 3; this is where you want to verify that you understa

This Raymond Chen guy should probably look into what debuggers are available on his platform of choice, he could save time by avoiding all this printf() style debugging.

There's viewings, showings, hearings, shootings, cuttings, smearings, belongings, holdings... It's not like the pattern doesn't exist even if it doesn't hold for all verbs.

From https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html if you construct a Vec with capacity 0 via Vec::new, vec![], Vec::with_capacity(0), or by calling shrink_to_fit on an empty Vec, it will not allocate memo

I didn't think Caliper was still maintained - looks like there's been some recent commits, but their last release is 2 years ago and says "Caliper is currently in maintenance mode and we don't expect to make changes to i

If you read that much code you could code in your sleep. So far that seems to be a good intuition for models based on LLMs - how well can you code without most of your higher reasoning facilities, just glancing at the previous text and typi

Specifically they are using a 1024 bit accumulator register to hold intermediate results for 64-bit posit operations. You can get more precision for IEEE float operations as well if you're willing to just add loads of extra bits! It&#x

I suspect you could make a simple dotting marker for whiteboards by taping an eraser to a whiteboard pen. I release this invention into the public domain for the good of mankind.

They're opaque to anyone with less than $250k in the bank, which is almost everyone. If you are large enough player to be visible in the "systemic risks" picture you should be helping to stabilize the system, not just throwin

Spreading the deposits out is the point, it's not a hack at all. If 1/3th or 1/5th or whatever of your deposits are locked out you can still make payroll and carry on while the odd bank hiccup is sorted out, and a haircut wil

You'd ideally want to do something like dataloader, where you look up your N Xs in a single cache query, and then do a single database lookup for the (N-C) Xs that weren't in cache. You can then either eagerly load the Ys with the

In relevant studies, people attempt to discriminate lies from truths in real time with no special aids or training. In these circumstances, people achieve an average of 54% correct lie-truth judgments, correctly classifying 47% of lies

Interesting that gRPC is too slow for the latencies they're aiming at, maybe Cap'n Proto would be a better match. He doesn't go into details on how they handle packet loss, but the paper[1] says: Receivers use a simple ti

I noticed there's a couple of open issues on llama.cpp investigating quality issues. It's interesting if a wrong implementation still generates plausible output. It sounds like an objective quality metric would help track down iss

So they were having trouble getting money into the bank? I'd like to understand how all these startups came to use SVB in the first place and what part the VCs played in that. I've seen people here say that they were required to

A course in high performance computing should include some material on computer architecture and SIMD, though the focus is more on parallel programming and GPU. To get into the right mindset for SIMD optimization, play Zachtronic games. You

They don't need to be individually gullible at all - the causes they fight for are real and important to them, and the social schisms already exists. Outright misinformation is not necessary to drive a people apart, it just helps if

I think you are overestimating the amount of difference the special tokens make. GPT will pay attention to any part of the text it pleases. You can try to train it to differentiate between the system and user input, but ultimately it just p

In particular Vector can do simple transforms on the messages (or quite complex transforms using Lua script), and insert directly into Clickhouse. I respect the simplicity of Redis here, but personally I would consider Kafka if I wanted to

For one thing a classic way of downplaying metrics, "we're only logging X bits of information", turns into 3000*X. And here X is huge already. If I get access to detailed metrics from go, gcc, make, tar, gzip, bash, python...

This is something we understand well about LLMs, for once. The only things they can "leak" through ordinary conversation are their prompts (easily), and contents from their training set (frustrated by their innate tendency to make
