It's soldered RAM, which is a fantastic trade-off for specific scenarios (inference). If all you care about is local inference, this thing is basically the same price as a 5090 (I think?) with multiple times the memory, and no need to

What could be interesting is playing against a full-strength engine, that is forced to sacrifice a piece every N moves (I initially wrote "blunder," but the top sacrificial Stockfish move would likely still be a viable strategy).

It's more precise to think of unit as an empty tuple. A tuple is like an ad-hoc struct without names for the fields, so `(int, string)` is like `struct MyTuple { int a; string b; }`. An empty tuple would be `()` (which is the syntax fo

This immediately made me wonder if there's some grand unified sorting algorithm, from which all other sorting algorithms can be derived. Could we somehow turn this thing into a quicksort, for example?

Of the three, QC is different in that it's not a solution looking for a problem. If we ever scale QC to the point where it can do meaningful work (the "if" is doing a lot of work there - per your point about hardware), then

How is the hiring experience? I'm considering Rust (or Elixir, or Go) for the next project at work. We'd obviously need to be able to hire teammates or replacements (as I'm the only current employee with tons of experience be

Look, beyond unobjectionable facts that the government wastes money, that money isn't completely wasted: some percentage eventually becomes salaries for Americans (the rest in some rich person's pockets). For example, all the USAI

I'm not sure about the latest models, but my early-revision BedJet has no smart features at all: it was all bluetooth. It solves much the same problem as the product here: warm/cool the bed, not the house.

You know, the complaint is that R4L would add undue load to existing maintainers (at least that's about the only coherent technical thing I've gathered from Christoph's emails). What also adds undue load to existing maintai

What's the deal with memory? Does it use the system RAM? I've been considering a cluster for local inference.

The problem is the asinine interviews we are going to have to tolerate in order to screen against AI-kiddies. You think HackerRank is bad? Just you wait...

I like that, it's less paradoxical, and likely easier to explain to people with less developed critical thinking skills.

Yup. This is a well-tread philosophical problem: the Paradox of Tolerance. Greater minds have concluded "to protect tolerance, one has to be intolerant of intolerance." And, as always, bsky is a place of business - it is not a pub

I think the funding has had a modest stimulus, and that was always the locus of causation for "perpetually x years away." Private fusion especially (but I do think their claims are somewhat overstated).

Yeah, even I found it doing some dubious things as a beginner. Still helpful for things like how to correctly use certain components, but the svg diagrams it provided were hilarious at times.

I use them as a springboard for things I am really unfamiliar with. I'm self-learning electronics at the moment, and so I can ask it things like "what's a common and widely available cooperator." You will not find tha

This doesn't seem to cover infinite recursion, which is one of the ugliest parts of doing this type of query with CTEs. You effectively need to concatenate all of the primary keys you've seen into a string, and check it each recur
