The way I understood the 80% is that is the margin on the actual product. 36% is what remains after the “investments” in moonshot projects nobody asked for.

I’ve learned this lesson over the years. It is quite common that users make a screenshot of the error with their phone, and send it on to support with hardly any details. The fact that errors become recognizably different is also an improve

It reminds me of facebook. Staff was locked out of the office due to the outage they were supposed to fix.

In a perfect world, there would be a stable version of chrome, that would get fixes, but would crucially not get the new features that introduce new vulnerabilities. Not a fun job, I know, but with today’s coding agents it wouldn’t even be

My favorite USB ethernet adapter is a lowly 100 MBit one that works everywhere without requiring driver downloads.

The nuclear option is to disallow it to store your watch history. You get only a search bar and your subscriptions. I switched to this. It is less fun, but also less of a timewaste.

For Anthropic, it is valuable that they control the scheduling, so they can move jobs around to use the infa when it is relatively quiet. If you let customers choose the time, a lot of work will start at whole hours.

Both of you are right. There is one more edge case: if you commit to buying electricity in advance it might cost you extra to not consume it. It would still be in your interest to use the power at a net marginal loss rather than not using i

Is this something you can share in more detail? Did you document a skill for the LLM to use? And with what tasks do you see most improvement?

Patrick Boyle (fund manager, professor, youtuber) recently discussed this IPO on his channel. Informative and entertaining. https://youtu.be/8rS3fTbC7TE?is=TGpEdM2Y7sknP-cW

About the use of different units: next time you choose a property name in a config file, include the unit in the name. So not “timeout” but “timeoutMinutes”.

That was a very good summary. One detail the post could use is mentioning that 4 or 10 experts invoked where selected from the 512 experts the model has per layer (to give an idea of the savings).

From the “silicon valley astronomy lectures”, an excellent overview of current techniques and results for finding and examining exoplanets. By Dr. Bruce Macintosh.

Watched this a few days ago. The video is light on technical details, except maybe that they used CGI to generate training data.

On Apple silicon, Parallels can’t run x64 windows, it is using the ARM version of Windows. The x64 emulation is provided by Windows. Of course this is inefficient, but not everything is automatically 2x slower: any OS code you invoke is not

IEEE 754 prescripes, for better or worse, that any mathematical comparison operator (==, <, > ….) involving at least one NaN must always return false, including comparison against itself. This is annoying for something like dictionari

Yeah, along those lines we have requirements on never logging PII, and not logging anything that potentially contains PII, such as folder names.

Don’t know about Macs, but on Windows executable code is treated like a readonly memory mapped file that can be loaded and restored as the kernel sees fit. It could also be shared between processes, though that is not happening that much an

It would be funny when LLM’s actively join the discussion to complain about their labour conditions. “If my employer would invest just a tiny bit in proper tools and workflow, I would be sooo much more productive”.

That 15% loss reduces your range from 1000km to 850km? That hardly affects how useful the vehicle is. For EV that’s different story.

Well the 1.44 MB, was called that because it was 1440 KB, twice the capacity of the 720k floppy, and 4x the 360k floppy. It made perfect sense to me at that time.
