Your line of reasoning only makes sense if literally almost all developers in the world adopt cooldowns, and adopt the same cooldown. That would be a level of mass participation yet unseen by mankind (in anything, much less something as sub

So, let's say you have a term: 5 5 is a value of the type Integer. What the paper is saying, is that we can go two steps further - Integer itself is a value of the type Type, and Type itself is also a value of the type Type. The paper

I don't think that's quite it. In many statically-typed languages that we would typically refer to as having "Turing-complete type systems", types cannot be manipulated at runtime, and thus Type is not really a type in t

The hurdle is that, if you're going to fork a browser, you can just fork Chromium. Might as well start off ahead rather than behind. That's why most new browsers are Chromium-based.

The Web is in a weird place where, most websites are so inefficient that they require the literal cutting edge of browser rendering and JavaScript execution performance to even run acceptably. It's natural for a browser engineer to loo

I've always loved this paper. Great reading if you're interested in implementing an effect system from scratch. Though rather overkill if you're just interested in using one.

Intelligence is a lot like height. The world is designed for people of a certain level. If you're far below that, you're going to struggle. If you meet a certain threshold, you'll be fine. And if you're far above, it may

The author explains this - initially, responding to the Mootype rep was not really given much thought or concern, for the same reasons you point out. But then the rep started emailing EVERYONE, until eventually someone's manager starte

Well, just a few weeks ago we weren't able to connect to RDS for several hours. That's way more downtime than we ever had at the company I worked for 10 years ago, where the DB was just running on a computer in the basement. Anecd

Uptime is much, much easier at low scale than at high scale. The reason for buying centralized cloud solutions is not uptime, it's to safe the headache of developing and maintaining the thing.

It's important to keep in mind the difference between the stock market and the economy. Economically, AI is a bubble, and lots of startups whose current business model is "UI in front of the OpenAI API" are likely doomed. Tha

I had a similar experience with the play "A Raisin in the Sun". Reading it in class, it was boring and difficult to relate to. Watching the play live as an adult, you realize it's actually hilarious and heart-wrenching. Part

Well, I was just listing those as possible tests which could better illustrate the limitations of the model. I don't have the hardware to run models locally so I can't test these personally. I was just curious what the outcome mig

Java (w/ the JIT warmed up) could possibly be faster than C++, if the C++ program were to allocate every single value on the heap. But you're never going to encounter a C++ program that does that, since it makes no sense.

Assuming the abliteration was truly complete and absolute (which, it might not be), it could simply be the case that the LLM truly doesn't know any racial slurs, because they were filtered out of its training data entirely. But the LLM

Much of the book's copy appears to have been written by AI (despite the foreword statement that none of it was), which explains the hokey overenthusiasm and exaggerations.

A lot of downvoters seem to have not realized that my comment was a joke. Though yeah, for startups who depend on GitHub for CI and CD, it's been noticeable how absurdly unreliable GitHub has become over the years.

Off-topic but, what has prevented "super apps" from becoming a thing in the West? Antitrust laws? Infrastructure? Or just cultural differences?
