By that definition, wall street would be a lab, and so would be a casino. I guess we could call them, "data refineries."

Re-arrange x+(y+(z+w)) into (x+y)+(z+w) to accomplish a distributed sum. Shared bus, interconnect fabric. This is a supercomputer on a chip.

Attention calculations aren't shared across more than one vector during next token prediction (thinking and writing) which this sounds almost perfect for. Per attention layer, for deepseek at 1M context, you want to broadcast a single

I'm not seeing the reason why typical engineers can't vibecode. Non-coders can vibecode. I have read hundreds of posts claiming that senior engineers can vibecode but not a single one saying that juniors cannot.

Tailwind removes the C and the S, leaving only the S in CSS. (In long form, CSS is supposed to encourage modularity and a separation of concerns, concepts totally abandoned in the world of per-element styles.)

Let's subject that claim to some basic arithmetic. A university would expect maybe eight undergraduate level courses, four credit hours per course, and you are expected to do three hours of study per hour of credit per week. That'

> In practice I don't think any harness (happy to be corrected here!) uses the lesser capability models for writing code. The cost trade-offs are rarely worth it. That's not something I understand very well. The less expensive

That's a great analogy - everybody knows you forget pretty much everything after a few years away from the line. It should be seen like one of those studies that proves smiling is correlated with happiness. :-)

Expats have to pay taxes in their home country. The US is very difficult to temporarily not be in.

I'm sure he's just overjoyed to be tried without representation or evidence in the court of public opinion, a big step up from being punished with no process at all.

As someone who was born, I can attest that the experience of not being born consisted of billions of years passing by in an imperceptibly short instant, followed by being five.

I understand this story, and I have heard it many, many times - but I do not understand how something that is possible for thousands of hobbyists writing text editors on their weekends is not possible for professionals! "You can't

What are these plugins? Could any business choose to use one, or are they highly specialized?

That's a great question. The answer is, the stuff you are reading in this thread is not right (you figured it out). The real version of the story is, there is this thing called the "Christoffel symbol," which tells you where,

In English, the word "known" is generally placed in sentences like, "known sympathizer," more often than in "known Democrat." Compare, "suspected," contrast the more neutral, "is an."

I had a good laugh when Haiku's thinking summarization referred to mayor Mamdani as a, quote, "known anti-Zionist." :-) Probably a good thing to remember is that the value added in RLHF is not partly biased, or biased, but it

It is not going to take 15 days for short selling hedge funds to right-price these IPOs. It is going to take something closer to a few seconds.
