Just use sanitizers properly. You are done. Everyone doing anything half-professional with C++ has been doing that for years already. And no you don't have to run sanitizers in production. That being said: It is inconvenient and it is

Math is math. There is a very important place for it. But it is a very specific corner. LLMs don't come from math or from people who are 'mathematicians'. They use some parts of math (just like everyone everywhere). It appear

Anyone actually physically doing ML research knows it ... but doesn't write the actual code for this stuff (or god forbid write some byzantine math notations somewhere), doesn't even think about this stuff except through X levels

What do you mean 'low'? :-) The barrier to entry is probably epicly high because to be actually useful you need to understand how to actually train a model in practice, how it is actually designed, how existing practices (ie. at O

'The maths you need to start understanding LLMs'. You don't need that math to start understanding LLMs. In fact, I'd argue its harmful to start there unless your goal is to 'take me on a epic journey of all the thin

Being curious is good ... nothing wrong with that. What I took issue with above is (what I see as) attempt to derail people into low level math when that is not the crux of the question at all. Also: nobody who wants to run LLMs will write

These are technical details of computations that are performed as part of LLMs. Completely pointless to anyone who is not writing the lowest level ML libraries (so basically everyone). This does now help anyone understand how LLMs actually

This is true ... except that it is simplistically naive way of looking at things, because this is just one form (out of many) of anti-competitive practices. It is essentially high-school level elementary basics of anti-trust. In actual real

The supposed 'taxi cartel' were just (some) scummy operators ... not really a cartel. Fast forward to today => you are paying more for what is essentially very similar service (because it literally turned into a monopoly becaus

On one hand I don't understand what all the fuss is about. LLMs are great at all kinds of things around and about: searching for (good) information, summarizing existing text, conceptual discussions where it points you in the right dir

You can copy paste unsourced open source snippets just fine, ain't nothing wrong with that (usually) It is another story whether anyone should do that for other reasons having nothing to do with open source or licensing.

Of course. This is kind of to be expected as it has the benefit of hindsight of 25+ years. It is infinitely easier to design better things with all the accumulated experience and know-how of what works and what doesn't under your belt.

This is true ... except that Rust doesn't actually do any better in that regard. Rust solves 1 category of problems in a way that is not without its costs and other consequences. That is it. There are projects where this is very import

Have a look at any serious job postings. C++ jobs outnumber Rust jobs somewhere around 50:1. Internet hype meets actual industry reality :-).
