You are right, sometimes the simplest answer is the right now. Don't trust Meta. Life is going to be much simpler. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me continuously for 20 years, shame on me.

Alas, it writes so much better than the average human that it's what everyone started using. Hence the utter familiarity and now contempt.

How does one know whether they actually learnt physics this way. Seems a lot of reading and structure, that's great. Not convinced about whether there is a change in understanding. Typical university/college classes have assignmen

I laughed at this "but the code complexity became too much for me, and I abandoned the project." even Terry Tao finds some code too complex to write. Really bullish on LLMs expanding code development by a very large group of peopl

If it is this easy, surely the trend is Rust output being an intermediate pass of the LLM super compiler. A security subset if you will (like other kinds of optimization), it will move from Rust specs to some deeper level of analysis and ou

Good. How does it compare to cuOPT which seems to be 10-5000x faster than existing solvers for Vehicle routing if you believe the marketing.

Not Rust because you won't find anyone to maintain code. Rust is only for rewriting existing code in other language not maintaining it. C++ perhaps because of number of people who already know it, but only for performance sensitive are

LOL, the blog gives a lot of detailed reasons, even summarizes it [1] and but some random stranger gives an outdated opinion from the '90s, which is not even wrong just plain humorous. If slave labor, how come everything else is also n

Seems like a bug, it's pulling in all the jobs that have either vision or pro in their text (which is probably everything). Need to put "vision pro" to filter and even select the product (Apple Vision Pro) to get about 74 job

This is a good resource, however for about 99.99% of people, you are most likely to just use a foundation model like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc. so this knowledge/training will get you neither here or there. I would suggest you look i

LOL, this is the list to keep in your head for this so called "manual". Best of luck of those who will work through this. BTW, Karpathy made that comment in 2025 not 2024. Morphability - natural language as morphable code Ab

Just like San Francisco and Dallas/Texas (from his article) are very different in the US, we should expect lot of differences in Europe (as others mentioned, he clubs UK with EU). Housing is a general problem for all major cities thoug

Great summary of the year in LLMs. Is there a predictions (for 2026) blogpost as well?

Seems very detailed and comprehensive. Did I miss it, but was there a performance comparison to the PyTorch version at the top?

Three things: 1. The Rise: 2005 - 2010 Google hired Guido van Rossum in 2005 (stayed on for seven years) and gave corporate blessing that made everyone comfortable with moving from Perl to Python. It was seen as the language of scientists a

I think this is the key, it can do impressive stuff but it won't be fast. For that, you have to put in a NVidia data center / AI Factory.

Seems this is basically DGX Spark with 1TB of disk so about $1000 bucks cheaper. DGX Spark has not been received well (at least online, Carmack saying it runs at half the spec, low memory bandwidth etc.) so perhaps this is way to reduce buy
