Oooh, that is very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Why do they show different information (temperature, rain etc.) for the same location?

I'm missing a good way to turn on/off plugins and settings depending on the directory. Eg turning off rust-analyzer on some projects, or using pyright instead of mypy as the LSP.

You have to indent the text by two or more spaces to count as code. Hacker News doesn't use Markdown, so backticks don't work. FWIW, this is clear in the "help" link by the textarea.

No, you don't. There have been technological advances beyond just "more random Internet text", and they lead to more powerful models with more refined emergent behaviours.

I don't see how this is proof, and not just that the model got the better. You're comparing models a year and a half apart; this is a lifetime in LLM development.

You can still have extensive "compile-time" checking with linters and static type checkers. This makes Polars even better in typed Python, as it type-checks much better than the dynamic mess that is Pandas.

It's quite an effective strategy, sadly. People look at Cuba and see a failed state without considering the material conditions.

Why would a colonialist power ever be benevolent towards its colonies?

WSL2 is also a virtual machine.

The UK is banning the sale of tobacco to people born on or after 1 January 2009 entirely. That will eventually kill the industry (which is good).

No mention to Mistral?

It's not the same as running on an x86 Mac, though. Asahi's efforts are herculean, but it will always be an uphill battle. Many things are still unsupported, even on M1.

You're definitely right about that. I couldn't tell you where I found out about this keybind.

I don't see how these are incompatible. The PhD prepares you to be an independent researcher. The way you prove this is by studying the same topics for a few years, and by the time you reach your viva, you'd be expected to know a

There's no pretense. That's always been the whole point.

In an ideal world, sure. In reality, a PhD[1] is about publishing papers in the hope that you learn something along the way. [1] My experience in ML in 2026.

I took GP as asking for evidence that the reduced-cost Sol is actually a distillation of the previous-cost Sol. AFAIK, providers distilling or quantising models and offering them as the same model have not been proven.

> not "23 lines pasted" If you mean what Claude Code does when you paste longer text, you can just press Cmd-V again to show the full text.

That's not the same as smart pointers like std::unique_ptr.

> Moving ownership between containers to avoid allocations was possible That's not the biggest upside of move semantics. You can't safely express smart pointers without move semantics. They tried with std::auto_ptr, and it didn

By "web features" you mean things Google decided they wanted and neglected to put through the actual process. This is why Firefox is important; the alternative is letting Google control the Web like Microsoft did.

Yeah, publishing in ML can be annoying because of that. What's wrong with "I thought this problem was interesting"?

Isn't 1+2 just reverse TDD?

Good luck getting accepted in another program.

Funny how someone implicitly reveals his political affiliation with a short sentence.

I agree completely. That's why I pushed back on "nothing to do" from the OP. Maybe it was a small contribution, but calling it "corruption" is ridiculous.

I never really understood how people can wear headphones all day. I have the XM5 headphones, and after a couple of hours, it starts hurting my head. What am I doing wrong? I also have the earbuds of the same generation, and they're muc

Isn't distillation done through SFT by having the student model approximate the teacher's output distribution?

They were impersonating an AI. You wouldn't complain that a comic started impersonating a celebrity without saying "I'm going to impersonate X now" first.
