It’s trading one property for another, isn’t it? Standard beziers with symmetric handles are C1 continuous but not necessarily G2 continuous; author’s scheme is the other way around, which makes them better for some use cases and worse for

If I ask a model to do a change involving editing a file, and it starts investigating internals of my build system, then sure it might not be counterproductive or break the task, and might have taken only extra 30 seconds; but for all I kno

I thought bot protection was one of reasons for using Cloudflare in the first place (next to general CDN hosting)? After all, they do show a captcha-like challenge on some websites, so I thought that even without robots.txt, it still would

Makes sense, they probably don’t want to leak _the_ secret sauce driving the game itself. I saw some eve-specific logic in Destiny repo, like warp enter condition and warp velocity math, or entity visibility between grids. (Also, it’s full

The catch is that it's not really doing anything. It "stores" 16GB of quants by... storing the base 2GB model and quantizing it on user's machine on demand. The extra diff files are only there because the quantization is

Reading this leaves a weird taste in my mouth, since the author tends to regularly make nontrivial >1k LOC PRs (sometimes several per day) and merge them on the same day with no reviews at all. This is even ignoring the LLM aspect; I don

I've seen people like this 15+ years ago on #learnprogramming on Freenode, I'm guessing LLMs just tend to validate that behavior instead.

I wonder how often this happens in practice - by "this", I mean industry/LLM world not noticing* some research until a bigger player repeats it with louder PR. (*hopefully I didn't misunderstand the situation)

> Epic did it backwards — they built the game first, then tried to force the infrastructure (EGS) into existence with money. Didn't Valve push Steam through HL2? It's a different kind of forcing of course, but still.

It already has a fast path, from (I think) 3.11. If you run `object.x` repeatedly on the same type of object enough times, the interpreter will swap out the LOAD_ATTR opcode to `LOAD_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE` or `LOAD_ATTR_SLOT`, which only make

That's not true. I mean: it's true that it has little to do with OOP, but most imperative languages (only exception I know is Rust) have the issue, it's not "Python specific". For example ( https://godbolt

I think CPython already had tier2 and some tracing infrastructure when the copy-and-patch JIT backend was added; it's the "JIT frontend" that's more obscure to me.

I'm been occasionally glancing at PR/issue tracker to keep up to date with things happening with the JIT, but I've never seen where the high level discussions were happening; the issues and PRs always jumped right to the grit
