Is LinkedIn a normal social network? It seems like an absolute dumpster fire to me (it even has shorts now!)

I’m quite happy that my friends have labelled me as “an absolute idiot with anything but computers.” It’s much easier to relate to people at that level, adopt a happy-go-lucky attitude, and being wrong about 99% of things. being the smart o

It’s 27b active params vs 13b active params, so you’d expect it to be 2x more expensive when serving multiple users

I think this comes in with the wrong assumptions from the start. The thing that US vs Apple taught us is to not demand access publicly , this puts companies in an awkward spot. If approached more tacitly, gag order etc the company has noth

Bit of a counter point, but I ran a very nice wfh setup at a previous job, 4k monitor and ergo keyboards. I was a bit dismayed when I joined a new co and found that we had 1080p monitors and a generic Logitech keyboard. After a week of the

Stylistically ugly code that is globally consistent (ideally across the entire ecosystem) >> locally beautiful code that is inconsistent with the rest of the codebase / up to authors taste. No one likes black formatting, but it’s

Yeah came here to comment exactly this. And this is generally why I dislike/avoid this type of first principle analysis: it can make very convincing arguments that are just totally wrong due to some misleading assumption

1.0 is actually pretty arbitrary and way too high as a general rule. Something like 0.3 is a more sensible default

And yet the monologue is a complete work of fiction, a script delivered by a talented actor that we still find moving. So what are these authentic experiences to you, or does it not matter if we can’t tell the difference?

Curious how they do a “blind” preference test. To any evaluator I’m sure it’s quite clear which answer is AI vs human.

I joined gdm recently, and previously used (neo)vim exclusively. Begrudgingly Cider-V is very, very good. It might be possible to get by without it, but the system is so locked down you’re going to make a lot of sacrifices. (very few author

Throughput is a metric for the total number of tokens/sec for all users in the system. Latency (ITL,TTFT) are individual user metrics.

While I large agree, when I rely too much on agentic llm usage I come away feeling that I haven’t really learnt much over the session, and the code wasn’t really “mine”. It’s also easy to let your skills atrophy over time if you’re not care

Clearly not from the UK. By US standards Labour would be socialist, and conservative (right) liberal at best.

It’s a quite deceptive paper. The main headline benchmarks (math500, aime24 /25) final answer is just a number from 0-1000, so what is the takeaway supposed to be for pass@k of 512/1024? On the unstructured outputs, where you can’

I get the same feeling that I'm "not being productive" while playing video games, watching tv, etc that seems to kill any enjoyment from doing these things. For me learning piano has been a great alternative to programming in

I usually am a huge fan of “copilot” tools (I use cursor, etc) and Claude has always been my go to. But Sonnet 3.7 actually seems dangerous to me, it seems it’s been RL’d _way_ too hard into producing code that won’t crash — to the point wh

I wholly disagree with the comic, but a anti AI art take I’m more sympathetic to: https://x.com/soi/status/1815584824033177606?s=46

I don’t think this hits at the heart of the issue? Even if we can catch AI text with 100% accuracy, any halfway decent student can rewrite it from scratch using o1s ideas in lieu of actually learning. This is waay more common and just impos

Just another +1 that if you’re going to give vscode a fair shot, it’s much better to go with vscode-neovim than the standard vim extension. You can even map most of your config right over. E.g. (mine) https://github.com/to
