That's kind of hilarious (...ly sad) to read knowing that I have on my desk https://browser.engineering so I literally went the opposite direction some months ago. Not only did I actually build a Web browser myself, from sc

Reminds me of Z notation, good times... sure it's nice to have a harness, or a series of test, but they only insure you that what's it done within it, is done within it. If it's poorly done, then the result if still within it

Also something that makes the whole process very hard to verify is what I tried to address in a much older comment : whenever LLMs are used (regardless of the input dataset) by someone who is an expert in the domain (rather than an novice)

If I understood correctly you are giving an example of a "success" of using the technology. So that's addressing that the technology is useful or not, powerful or not, but it does not address what it actually does (maybe some

Yes... yes let's make tasks we rely on LESS predictable. Sorry but what the heck? We should NOT standardize irresponsible behavior, in particular for repeatable tasks. This is particularly maddening when solutions like dependency resol

Don't buy anything physical, benchmark the models you could run on your potential hardware on (neo) cloud provider like HuggingFace. Only if you believe the quality is up to your expectation then do it. The test itself should take you

Well the "source" is arguable. If you want stock parts it's definitely Mouser (or their suppliers) but if you want a project, namely something new made out of parts provided by Mouser then it's still CrowdSupply. I didn&

From my experience I never felt "ready enough" to apply. I also underestimated, despite knowing how slow the process would be, the time required not to submit a proposal for funding but how long it would take to receive an answer.

Brings me back... I did use Fossil in 2010, cf my notes on https://fabien.benetou.fr/Tools/Fossil but like most I only switched due to the popularity of git, not because any specific feature was missing.

Tools documentation is in text, either directly e.g. tool -h or indirectly e.g. man tool plus they are countless examples of usage online, so it seems clear that a textual mapping between the tool and its usage exists in text form already.
