Id love an ELI5 for PLE. Im trying to work it into my back of the napikin math for compute vs memory bandwidth limitations on tok/s in PP vs TG work. My attempt at a simplification of this article on it https://sebastianrasc

Unfortunately, in my experience the more advanced/nuanced/complete of an explanation of physical phenomenon you want, the more math heavy and abstract the "real answer" becomes. Quantum Electrodynamics is some beefy stuf

Some of the effort that folks have put into recording their dwarf fortress experiences, and captureing that special something that emerges out of the game is wonderful. I humbly also submit the illustrated stories of Bronzemurder and Oilfur

If the goal is to provide a distinction between model and agent, i think the "agent system" is doing too much heavy lifting in the example here. A useful extension to this mental framework that i use when trying to make this disti

For those of us on the other side of the ditch: all museums in London are free. and I would echo the sentiment that it makes exploration of them less of a completionist activity to "get your monies worth" and more of an enjoyable

I agree some why could be interesting. I would add to your list, because IMO this is more of a thought experiment-as-repo than a utility focused tool, what can i see by using this that i cant with a more fully fledged starting point?

I have to say I enjoy the brevity and clarity of this idea, given the ease of producing something large and unfocused in the last couple of years. I hope it stays very simple, and would be interested if the author or anyone else can speak t

Its also a common misconception that all glutamates are MSG (thats one salt of glutamate) and that all umami compounds are simple glutamate salts. So while MSG is an excellent "neutral" umami ingredient, fermented products like th

Looking at the statistics that are used to measure growth and performance at a population level are such a great window into how they themselves are opinionated stances. The two measures are both great measures of house ownership that measu

That sounds like a tough realization to come to, and has been an opposite of my experiences in startups (as a non founder). Ive sought them out because the leadership cares so freaking much about what they are doing, and really genuinely wa

I can appreciate this sentiment. I am someone who favors a resign vote over a let it play in 8v8, and when i was thinking about why i think its that in a lobby based system like bar, where there are few games I value staying in a lobby rath

While i appreciate that this is a valid link. I would argue that its political stance is clear: its framing of this as "Biden’s border crisis", and its sourcing is poor: referencing fox news but no other news sources, and no links

In a small team, or an aware team, where AI is being used all the time and we are figuring out the best way to do it, i often just preface my messages with - "from my ai to yours" where ive pointed my ai at some relevant conte

Id disagree with this analogy: "No carpenter is a specialist in drills." and i think its an interesting lens through which to look at the evolution of our tools. I think there are trades where tool (or process if i may be allowed

This is just the best. A very serious company, doing seriously cool and important stuff, also has an anime name/icon. I wish more corps took themselves so lightly, while remaining serious about what they do.

I made the same gut assumption, and it points to either poor writing, or deliberately misreading writing that they mix units like that in the same paragraph, where presumably the idea is that we get a feel for growth in both? Its probably n

Id guess by your smile there is an element of humor in your response, so this isn't a rebuttal, but rather i identified a lot with your point, and I was thinking that this is such a human response to vulnerability. If it was guaranteed
