There’s a difference between raw numbers on paper and actual real world differences when training frontier models. There’s a reason no frontier lab using AMD models for training, b…

What would you say is the current best in class toolchain for .NET (assuming I'm running on a ARM Mac)?

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a "toy" for them, I know some engineers there and someone who joined recently who spent significant time learning Elixir before joining.

I think it's somewhat of a stretch to say our "base model" had billions of years of evolution. Billions of years ago, mammals didn't exist and the only things around were more like…

SumUp (8B valuation) uses Elixir and I'm sure there are more. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/sumup https://www.sumup.com/careers/positions/berlin-germany/engin...

Thank you, this worked! Quite an interesting prompt indeed...

I think my preference is Northrop Frye’s analysis in “Anatomy of Criticism”, his categories of “mythic”, “romantic”, “high mimetic”, “low mimetic”, “ironic” are particularly useful…

One interesting point here is that humans can learn to do things without language at all. If you raised a human baby and never exposed it to any language it would still learn skill…

So apparently I'm in a HN minority (given the current comments) given that I absolutely love this single and in fact it almost immediately made me cry hearing John's voice and thos…

“With whom were you speaking” IS grammatically correct though. “Whom” is the object of the preposition “with”.

But there are many famous paintings out there that I know of because they are famous that I didn’t fall in love with. The argument seems to be that I fell in love with the Mona Lis…

How can you possibly argue the Mona Lisa isn’t inherently interesting or moving? It wouldn’t be the most famous painting in the world if it wasn’t interesting or moving. And no, it…

It wouldn’t be as famous as it is if it didn’t have something remarkable about it. Art is about creating emotion in people and whether you think it has good “aesthetics” or not, th…

If it didn’t have some other appeal the theft would never have led to the worldwide appeal of the painting. The theft may have kickstarted the recognition but this painting has som…
