Is it that wide though? For example, how do you explain why you cannot autograd through sampling (and thus you use either a reparameterization trick, or gumbel). Sure, instead of relying on differenti…

Your ticket is tied to a particular platforms app. And you have to transfer it to another mobile number which also has to be tied to that particular platform. Both of you need to click accept or whate…

The compiler based approach, with jax.cond, purity expectations, difficulty of making stateful abstractions, etc makes sense for large scale deployment, especially to purpose built accelerators like t…

Policies are not of two types. There is just _a_ policy. On- and off- policy are properties of the training process. If you learn a policy using data which was generated using another policy, it is of…

> Then simply `git branch -f a-branch <logical same point on rebased>` for each of the others, done. Yep, and after 2022 you can do this with --update-refs. Situation 1: main has moved ahead,…

It's not that they were not allowed to contribute. If you read the ziggit link up thread it becomes clear why their solution was simply wrong.

There you have a verifier though. As in you have test cases (which are written in JS and thus do not need to be translated). The moment you have a verifier signal LLMs become extremely reliable. Now o…

Ha. I use the letter thing as well. I make it address it to a Mr. Chad G Petey. Only I maintain it for posterity in project/letters and project/letters/responses.

I don't really care for the language. But why is it following the GTK UI language ffs. Every gtk only gets worse.

Why would it lead to litigation? And yeah that makes sense on the returning from the bay part. Many of those people ended up being fodder for startups here to poach. Work with a few of them.

I see you read the srinivas narayan article :P He's moving back close to where I stay. Many others from the big labs are moving back to their core EE field into stuff like optical networks for da…

Yeah it's insane how quickly the platform issue get solved by LLMs for 90% of software. I fixed lots of old tools' issues with using older broken APIs as well this way.

Fundamentally. The disclosure is private. Meaning neither the commit messages nor any public info can leak too much information about the bug. It's usually kept rather discrete. It is impractical…

Yep. I realised the same. No one reads docs, or goes through tests. Either ways it's easy to write useless tests. And easy to write useless docs. Idt most even read the code. Now the difference i…

I use duckdb often too, but the way it is being hyped in these comments makes me feel like I'm missing out on some insane usecase. I basically use it to load csv, jsonl, parquet etc etc formats a…

You can use free models on opencode. Minimax whatever is just free. It's more than enough for these tasks.

How does ASML have any leverage here? They don't have any of the IP related to EUV. It is fully american owned. The actual light source is also physically manufactured in the US. They license the…

It's not that deep man, it's just a blog post about some software library. There's no civilisational communication going on here, relax. This whole thing will become irrelevant in a few…

It happened in india mainly due to regulatory pressure[1]. It also helped that around the same time, Reliance (an oil company) launched at a hitherto-unseen pace an entirely new telco (Jio) with only …

Makes sense. What about on the basic research side? Is that done mostly through academia grants or are there in-house folks in the centers?
