I think you misread the post. He's saying that his ignorance was great, and maybe we should go back towards that. I don't think Tumblr was particularly influential on the neighbors aspect. It never reached that kind of broad base.

Like you, I dislike the "talker" role for people on IC ladders. I often encourage those people to switch to Director+ roles. The flip side is people who get and stay too far into the weeds. Solving little problems here and there i

This is one of the meandering arguments in the post. The whole executive team, in fact. But it doesn't compare how much other executives are making, etc.

I feel there's something in this article, but the meandering really ruins it. Either way, it's obvious that no earnings call would explain the metrics or decisions behind a layoff. But at 7% this is well within "Eh, we want

As aek and dahart said, updating a BVH (refitting) is not expensive. If anything, it's bandwidth limited. The challenge is minimizing the cost of (selectively) rebuilding.

I get that he's maybe a bit into LLMs, but your take is pretty unfair. He's said repeatedly that as a non-native English speaker, his writing will come across a bit strangely. If he'd said: "We all need to learn to be li

But it's not clear that using Sonnet or any other LLM as a "grader" would result in the same improvement. For objective grading, you could be sure that the additional adaptive support is helping. For subjective things like wr

Do you have a larger study planned for the Fall? It definitely seems promising. I'm curious how well you feel this worked because the subject was Statistics (objective grading) versus something more subjective like Civics or Literature

This is nice work, but I found the bug finding example to be weird: > One such bug was in the sign function for zigzag decoding of the datrs/varinteger library. On input Std.U64.MAX, the expression (value + 1) overflowed, causing cr

Technically, we did RTSL before Ingo and then Matt did their stuff at Intel. LLVM wasn't particularly usable in 2007, but Austin and I did try it (this isn't in the paper!). A few years later, I did an actual LLVM JIT for OSL, but

This used to be true, but GCP forced their hand in January of 2024 with https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/eliminatin... AWS matched a few months later: https://aws.amazon.com/b

Yeah, but that missing context is super important. If they want it for local dev work, that's pretty different from wanting a high-performance air gapped object store without rewriting clients. They seem to know what they're doing

Neat. I wish I could select just a couple lines at once though. I feel like the 1/2/3 plus one of the other lines would make something more appealing.
