$100M+ from the IPO isn't enough to being set for life, it has to be $1B+ from the buyout?

"I'd like a car that goes 300mph and gets 100mpg while doing it. I'm aware of a car that gets 100mpg but it is extremely slow." You are describing fundamental tradeoffs. Getting more performance relative to model size an

Most benchmarks can be trained for as well, so they are over-representative of model's engineering skills. The entire nature of a benchmark is collapsing some qualitative work (software engineering task, architecture choice, code qual

Let's say you to render conditionally when `x` is present. You do `v-if="x"`. Now you want to refer to `x.y.z` in the body, while `y` is optional. Can you be sure that the value is present? How do you check for it? What does

JSX is a very thin layer of templating logic inside JS. Meaning you have all the language features available while templating. Some arbitrary JS can result in templating. Vue's DSL is whatever language the developer implemented. Which

What about other benchmarks? Benchmarks where the contents are freely available have become useless for evaluating models.

Scaling law is a power law , requiring orders of magnitude more compute and data for better accuracy from pre-training. Most companies have maxed it out. For RL, we are arriving at a similar point https://www.tobyord.com/wri

The ability to learn and infer without absorbing millions of books and all text on internet really does make us special. And only at 20 watts!

Math and coding competition problems are easier to train because of strict rules and cheap verification. But once you go beyond that to less defined things such as code quality, where even humans have hard time putting down concrete axiom

In simpler terms - they create an MCP server, essentially an API that the coding agent can call, that can fill in context about previous decisions done by the coding agent earlier in development. Agent equivalent of asking someone who'

Red meat (a known carcinogen) at the top is gold. All that saturated fat the energy will come from (not from protein or veggies) will probably cause heart problems and plaque formation in arteries, not to mention insulin resistance just f

i would interpret physical fitness as cardio exercise routine and depleted muscle glycogen stores: so breakfast is very welcome and without it is not possible to keep up exercise routine

Yes, but it is not syntax. It's a contract with the library. React is completely usable using vanilla JS syntax. Same cannot be said for Vue and Angular. It feels a bit like talking about apples and oranges in this thread.

You can write const [a, b] = useState('x') in vanilla js and typescript. Hence it is not magic syntax .

The swapping is indeed faster as the SSD is on the SoC and so fast to access. To the point that an 4 year old 8gb M1 Air is enough for simpler development work, at least for me.

I'm speaking from experience regarding mental illnesses and exercise. And I never discounted medication. Just that exercise is critically underprescribed, I'm fairly sure it would work better for milder cases compared to meds. No

If you have to measure time spent and do cost/benefit analysis, you're most likely not going to stick with it for the entirety of life.

In Amsterdam they are commuting, and in a fantastic infrastructure where cars get red lights when bicycles approach on an intersecting cycleway. That's probably the main reason for safety and why they ride so much.

Instead, people try to fix it with antidepressants, benzodiazepines or something else. It feels a bit like the US approach to pain management – instead of massages or physical therapy, some opioid pill is cheaper to prescribe.

It was also tested only in overweight and obese patients. Pretty much most people are overweight and obese in the US as well, I wouldn't draw any results from this study for people at normal weight.

And yet they have the clickbait headline. Overweight and obese people already have their body in a constant state of inflammation, and their blood sugar control probably isn't great either. I wonder if they controlled for insulin resi
