I wasn't precise enough, my bad. I was referring to the comment about which says that by Switzerland restricting the moves from EU, loses the free movement to EU. My comment says that this is less of an issue -- the real issue comes fr

It's not about free movement, but "free trade"/joint market. Having rich countries support its poor neighbors is an ingenious solution to improving your quality of life. You impose your rules, regulations and monetary po

I did the same after Netflix dropped movies I cared about. First I tried playing DVDs straight from PC which is connected to TV. That was horrible quality and UX. Then I bought a good quality DVD player with hardware upscaling. It provided

My daily driver! Considering how much time I spend with these tools, it's surprising that I had relatively few iterations over the years. I have two major use cases: 1) a TODO list 2) longer texts (project plans, travel plans, shopping

Heavy use of C++ templates can significantly increase the binary size. Same for the heavy use of generated code (e.g. protocol buffers etc.).

IIUC, the Swiss German can't make a cut as there's no standard written form (and with it, not much resources), and the variations between the cities are pretty significant.

I have zero experience in sales and marketing, but I was wondering how I would start if I had to do that. After reading a bit about it and googling around, I stumbled upon Alex Hormozi and his YouTube channel: https://youtube.com

I was in a similar discussion some 10y ago. After a few rounds, we concluded that for a really good reliability you could do the following: - no service is expected to last long enough or to keep your data safe, - a physical medium is the w

What the OP is referring to requires overprovisioning of the high priority traffic and the sine-like utilization (without it, the benefits of the "batch" tier is close to zero -- the preemption is too high for any meaningful w

This assumes the common resources (CPU, RAM, etc.), not the ones required for the LLM training (GPU, TPU, etc.). It's different economy. TL; DR: It's not ~free.

It's about the different ways the language allows you to shoot yourself in the foot. I worked on large Python, C++, Java & Go services. I have 10y+ of experience with the first 3. C++ allows you to write incomprehensible code (even

In my case, it was the integration testing framework built for a large Python service. This was ~10y ago, so my memory might not serve me well. A bit of context: - proprietary service, written in Python, maaany KLOC, - hundreds of engineers

Tesseract out of the box is terrible for anything non standard. I tried using it for the comic books. Unusable. The training for your font is doable, but it's very time intensive (while the tools are pretty good!).

Even though I'm finding this AI hype ridiculous, some of the screenshots look fake (self harm related, profanity, etc.). The filtering at that level is solved ages ago. Are the answers stable/reproducible? (I'm not in a locat

This is amazingly well said! It deserves a huge virtual billboard.

If I understood it correctly, it's not much different from what `absl::flat_hash_map` does. Look for "Metadata information"/control bits at https://abseil.io/about/design/swisstables

That's mostly intuitive. An accurate answer is often driven by a concrete and highly confident fact in the training dataset (e.g. structured data fact, like a birth date from Wikipedia etc.). The hallucinations are derived facts of (ho

In (1) you imply that hallucinations are strictly due to nondeterminism in GPT computation. A hallucination happens (IIUC) because of the numeric imprecision, model regularization and various thresholds. In short, the hallucinations can be

I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case. I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic a

The article doesn't touch upon some major pain points. While the sea side is nice, it heavily relies on tourism and short term rentals. A long term rental is difficult to find during the summer time and it's not well regulated. Th
