Funny you say that: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131154 Looks like this is getting fixed in Rust 2024 :)…

Be serious. Go retry GPT-3 and compare it to Claude Sonnet and come back here.
comment
They were assigned roles to examine the spread of information and behaviour. The agents pay tax into a chest, as decreed by the (dynamic) rules. There are agents assigned to the roles of pro- and anti…

> LLMs are stateless and they do not remember the past (as in they don't have a database), making the training data a non-issue here. That's not what they said. They said that a LLM knows…
comment
Yeah, I can definitely see this being an issue going forward for quite some time. The existence of non-Apple ARM devices should hopefully lead to general interest in addressing these issues, but there…
comment
It's not that these are must-haves: it's that it removes any such anxiety about these to begin with. I can take the laptop with me wherever I'm going, and not have to worry about chargi…

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42016931 , it looks like M4 is very much still in the lead. It's also not just the CPU: the laptops themselves are simply phenomenal. I h…
comment
This is not a comparable user experience to running Linux natively for a variety of reasons, but the most obvious one is the relatively limited graphics acceleration. That's pretty important for …

It can be if you want it to be! Language is mutable :sparkles:
comment
LLVM is a backend: it takes LLVM IR (intermediate representation) and generates machine code. This is a frontend: it takes C and generates its own IR (a simplified version of C). You could glue these …
comment
I would normally agree with you on this, but these projects are in the same realm (language compiler infrastructure), so it's a bit more unfortunate than in the usual case
comment
But how does that change the calculation in the grandposter's reply? You can still do it yourself if you want, or you can hire the automated contractor if you don't have the time or effort.
comment
That's not quite the same thing. There are three layers in the memory hierarchy (there are more, but for the purpose of this discussion, three is sufficient) - CPU RAM - GPU RAM - GPU SRAM The gr…
comment
Moving the weights between the CPU and the GPU significantly limits performance. It's not comparable to having the entire model resident within video/unified memory.

Likewise, glad to see fellow former Facepunchers here :-) Great work!

I believe Harmony NEXT is built on top of OpenHarmony?

How did you get iPhone Syncthing + Obsidian working? I was under the impression that it was basically impossible to share Möbius Sync's directory with Obsidian.
comment
I think they're just short, punchy, and about an interesting subject matter (being a schoolteacher in Japan). The algorithm just fed the cycle once it got going.
comment
No, their claim is that specific lineage of inspirations led to the games we enjoy today. It is very unlikely that the games would exist in the same form without the innovations and discoveries made a…

As deep as is required to actually make your argument!
comment
This is a shallow critique that does not engage with the core idea. Specifying the problem is not the same as solving the problem.
comment
Damn, if only there was a section dedicated to addressing that: https://darioamodei.com/machines-of-loving-grace#3-economic-... I don't even disagree with you - our world economy…
comment
I would and do, but a lot of existing code (especially ML code) is Python and I find myself having to interface with it. It's not an awful lot of fun, especially when there are no annotations to …
comment
They're footnotes and are meant to be read as supplementary notes to the core message.
comment
What can I say, Claude's been good to me for both computer science and Rust :-)
comment
I guarantee you'll get much further than you would have previously done in the same amount of time, just by virtue of it being able to point you in the right direction. You don't need perfec…

kinda sounds like you're complaining, though
