There's a new SOTA model every few months, are you supposed to buy a new chip every new release?

My thought was that ASICs turned out not to be worth it for crypto mining because consumer hardware evolved fast enough to do it, while also being cheaper and having some resale value, while ASICs are useless besides mining and have no resa

Yet it doesn't seem that ASICs will have any particular advantage over consumer hardware since AI is very memory heavy, which is (right now) expensive no matter how you package it. And the compute is just simple matrix multiplication,

Like how crypto used ASICS but then didn't because the scaling of consumer hardware made it obsolete?

But that assumes I have some switch case somewhere right? If I passed an array of "orders" to a downstream function, it knows that what it has is orders, not something else, so it doesn't need to check for anything, and in th

I never fully understood how to work with this "reserved" values being valid instead of errors when you can't allocate more memory, in either case you still need to check if you have a real entity or a reserved/error, ri

Amazing writing, very accessible too. So batching requests is always something I think should increase performance by a lot, but most server implementations make this pretty difficult, but the thing I struggle the most to understand is how

You need some JS in the middle but yes, you write your image to a buffer and share it with JS, then in the JS you put it in the canvas.

Just trying to learn C again, making things from scratch in a multiplatform way, interfacing with X11 on Linux and wasm on the browser. It's been fun dealing with memory and C's weird design in this age of agentic coding.

Interesting aside, BYD (Chinese EV automaker) has took over production in the old Ford factory in Camaçari.

If the model is trained to be a interpreter, then that means that the loss should reach 0 for it to be fully trained? Also, if it's execution is purely deterministic, you probably don't need non linearity in the layers, right?

My current stance with reviewing code is: It's not ok to make another human review the code you made with AI, if you used AI then you're the reviewer, so unless you come to me with a well defined question or decision to make, just

Freeciv was what brought me too the civ world, I'm sure this project will be the same for many children of this generation.

I really dislike this idea of testing in go: only ever use an interface, never the real implementation + mockgen the mocks based on this interface + use the mocks to assert that a function is called, with exactly this parameters and in this

Gemini is quite optimistic here thinking GTA VI will be released by 2035.

The last batch of juniors we hired just completed 4 years in the company, which I would say is a pretty successful batch, but sadly we haven't hired juniors since. Edit: I must qualify that this is for software developers only, we did

Implement the simplest thing that works, maybe even by hand at first, instead of adding the tool that does "the whole thing" when you don't need "the whole thing". Eventually you might start adding more things to it

As far as I know there is no way to do Promise like async in go, you HAVE to create a goroutine for each concurrent async task. If this is really the case then I believe the submition is valid. But I do think that spawning a goroutine just

Go is a great tool for simulating network concepts, I've done it too.

I think I tested very casually some time ago with Go maps and up to like one hundred items the linear search on array was faster than map lookup. Considering that many times when we use Maps for convenience they will have less than a hundre

Not sure about this particular instance. LTT got a video taken down by community guidelines violation just the other day, and they are much bigger than Jeff.

I don't know if there's ever been a language that was announced 10 years before its first closed beta. I don't even know if having a "closed beta" for a language is something that really happens. So there's a l

I was thinking about that just the other day, who it would be really cool if Go had compile time code execution. I think Jai is making that a very prominent feature of the language.

This looks absolutely amazing and absurd at the same time. All IO is synchronous? Writes don't actually write when they say they do? Running 201 queries is as "fine" as running a single one with join? It seems as they got eve

Only 3.4k of C code for a full http and https server? I honestly thought you would need a lot more for it to be fully compliant with the spec.

I remember a few years ago a very good engineer in our company shared a very similar article about hexagonal architecture in golang, and a lot of people started using it, including myself for some time. Now he's not here anymore, and p

You need a separate package to actually serialize protobuf from a congen'd struct, so it uses reflection.

If the orq instruction was really a noop then there would be no problem as well?
