I didn't know about the static cache, that was a nice learning for me. The rest is pretty obvious /too lengthy for everyone who ever did profiling/benching. Also, the text has a lot of LLM slop-phrases in it that need cleanin

AI doesn't need to be AGI to be useful. Surely, you've tried Claude Code before and found it more helpful than Clippy?

That's not how I remember it. Excitement for python strongly predated ML and data science. I remember python being the cool new language in 1997 when I was still in high school. Python 2.4 was already out, and O'Reilly had put sev

I think you're underestimating what AI can do in the coding space. It is an extreme paradigm shift. It's not like "we wrote C, but now we switch to C++, so now we think in objects and templates". It's closer to the

I assume TPU TCO is significantly cheaper than GPU TCO. At the same time, I also assume that market demand for GPUs is higher than TPUs (external tooling is just more suited to GPU -- e.g. I'm not sure what the Pytorch-on-TPU story is

I grew up in the Internet at that time, and it's certainly not how I type. So you might want to be more specific about which sites or subcultures you think this style is representative of?

Arguably both Go and Python also have great stdlibs. The only advantage that JVM and .NET have is a default GUI package. Which is fair, but keeps getting less and less relevant as people rely more on web UIs.

I don't think "inference" as a verb has become technical slang. At least not in my bubble.

As someone who worked at both Brain and DeepMind: their cultures were very different. Brain was bottom-up, open-field research whatever you want/care for. DeepMind was much more narrowly focused and massively more top-down.

I guess it depends on use-cases. I use ChatGPT a lot for "trivial" questions a la "how do I uncommit a specific file in my last git commit" or "how do I paste from one PIL.Image into another one". In the past I

Some very weird things in this. 1. The title makes it sound like the author spent a lot of time on this project. But really, this mostly consisted of noting down a couple of URLs per day. So maybe 5 min / day = ~130h spent on the proje

It does sound like you're in a particularly bad mood, so yes, maybe our outlook does change. Maybe it helps to think of a darker timeline where Google would have kept all of these advances to itself and improved its ad revenue. Instea
