I did look at the skills file but I still don't understand how it can possibly pull from my other interactions. Is that skill file loaded for every one of my interactions with Claude, for example? like if I load Claude cli and ask it t

Could someone explain to me how this works? When I run an agent, I don't normally leave it running. I ask Cursor or Claude a question, it runs for a few minutes, and then I move on to the next session. Some of these topics, where agent

Agreed. But these things have a way of not working out, and one the sadness, one forgets to celebrate the intermediate victories. I wanted to share an intermediate victory before reality crushes the joy.

thanks for the explanation! sorry i had misread the AI summary on "semiseparable". i need to firm my intuition on this first before i can say anything clever, but i agree it's worth thinking about!

fair. thanks. i'll sleep on it and update the paper if it still sounds right tomorrow. probably my nomenclature bias is that i started this project as a way to find new preconditioners on deep nets.

by rahimiali 8mo ago
just to be clear, semiseparate in this context means H = D + CC', where D is block diagonal and C is tall & skinny? If so, it would be nice if this were the case, because you could then just use the Woodbury formula to invert H. Bu

Good q. The method computes Hessian-inverse on a batch. When people say "Newton's method" they're often thinking H^{-1} g, where both the Hessian and the gradient g are on the full dataset. I thought saying "precond

It's neat to see an attempt at writing a compiler in Python without using a compiler toolkit and without writing it in Haskell. But also, I think you're running past some of the hard problems without solving them. For example, you

I doubt an LLM would have written this: # Parameter in Stack-Slots laden (für MVP: nur Register-Args) # Semantic Analyzer markiert Params mit is_param=True # Wir müssen jetzt die first 6 Args aus Registern laden

One of the three rules on the page do not apply to either Persian or Urdu. The article “Al” isn’t used in them, so the third rule doesn’t apply.

sorry, yes, you mention in another comment the use case of multiple readers operating on different versions of the db simultaneously. that'd be difficult to do with git for the reason you mention.
14.
by rahimiali 4y ago
don't you get the same benefit if you version controlled the db file with git? with git, each commit saves a diff from the previous one as a blob. the difference is that in git, in addition to the diffs, you also have to create a worki

It sounds like you're in an average FAANG team. You could try switching teams. Here's why I think you might be in an average team: >"I have tried over the past 2 years to propose different solutions to hard problems and I

Thanks for making it crisp. This argument was in the article, but somehow it wasn't popping at me.

could someone explain the benefit of storing energy as natural gas? once you burn it, doesn't it result in co2? doesn't that defeat the effort? also is natural gas really easier to pipe around than electricity? I know I'm mis

I’m not getting the problem Anthony is trying to solve. I get that people are trying to keep him at bay, but what is he trying to do that they don’t want him to do? I get that he’s trying to identify pockets of innovation, but what will he

You’re right. A whistleblower has to report illegal activity, and that’s not what the petition does. My phrasing is bad.

I’m not suggesting it. I’m merely clarifying what he wrote. Did I misunderstand what he’d written in his tweet?

Brian, you have legitimate points. Here are my edits to your tweets to help people receive them better (i've tried to not change the message, just the tone): """ I’m deeply troubled by this, but not for the reasons you m

Also to mention soda’s kernel was patched to kprint() a rootcow at boot, before even the network driver was loaded. Dedication to style.

The article is fun to read, but I’m not convinced C’s lack of generics prevents it from supporting fast generic sort. Imagine qsort() being a header library, and a compiler that can inline heavily. What would prevent C from inclining the co

the matrix example is a good example of latex being too verbose for its markdown host. \underbrace and \begin{cases} are two others ones that seems antithetical to markdown. and maybe the fact that \left[ and \left( are not the default ver

for what it's worth, i was grateful to be called out on my gender assumption. that assumption can cause widespread harm. i'm less concerned about my pronoun assumption.

my bad. I shouldn't have assumed gender.

Basically, Foone ends up disassembling a device that has no off switch, and leaves it disemboweled on his desk as a warning for other devices.

Agreed. This ends up being a test of one of a few things: 1. Whether people of different age groups agree that random sequences are more complex as defined by the study’s notion of complexity. 2. Whether people of groups have the physical

My take before reading the article was that “earth is already collapsed”. After reading the article, this still sounds like a fine explanation. Am I wrong?

> "What you really want is a compiler, isn’t it?" The thing is, Python is just as compiled as, say Java. Python converts your code to byte code, then executes that bytecode in its VM. These are the same steps Java takes. So thi
