Ooh, this is a nice link. Totally going to add some of this stuff to my practice.

Looking at that paper, they appear to be saying that 6.7B is where the problem becomes so intense that no single quantization method can keep up. From what I gather, the paper clai…

It doesn't need to be two huge models. If there is an advantage to doing this, I'd expect that you would see it even in a small test case. I'm sure we'll see something by the end o…

The important and popular ones are absolutely available, but those are usually important because they have entered the realm of "common knowledge," at least in a particular sub-fie…

I think this problem comes down to two core issues: discoverability and terminology. You're going to be lucky if a paper from the 70s or 80s is available in a searchable database a…

That really depends on quite a few other factors: how big is the team? What development methodology do they use? Does the leadership understand how to manage and direct a rewrite? …

10 years isn't really all that much, is it? From my experience that's around how long it takes for developers to get a big head about how much they know, but 5 years less than what…

Just looking around, general available figures for public internet (as opposed to tor) suggest that anywhere between 0.1% to 1.0% of users have JS disabled. These numbers have also…

Was Zen 2017? Last I saw had it dropping in October of 2016. I actually decided to hold off on an upgrade for it.

> I'd also argue that if tension 1 were really a problem (i.e., Reddit staff were wrong), Reddit would be obviously going downhill, while tension 2 can fester as organizational deb…

I took a look at the website you linked at the bottom of your post. The first thing I noticed is that most of the front-page articles are testimonials. Fortunately there was an art…

> Civil eng is very conservative in terms of the kinds of language and graphics that can be used to express a design. I would argue that programming is far more specific in terms o…

> shouldn't it be a commonplace thing that doesn't take so much work to get around to explaining and using? Why? It's a reality of the world that more complex things take more time…

I feel a major problem with mathematical proofs is that the language of these proofs is so complex that in order to understand what it even says you have to be extremely smart, and…

I wouldn't say he's describing "adding another system to the mix," at least not in a traditional sense; it's more along the lines of two distinct systems working towards a similar …

What area do you work in though?

While that is a perfectly reasonable solution to the minimal example I provided, there may be reasons to abstract away the concept. Personally, I like having some sort of structure…

I think a lot of people use the "self-documenting" excuse without knowing what "self-documenting" really is, and what it brings to the table. Self-documenting code is a good fit fo…

This has always been a pet peeve of mine with projects like rails. Usually when I work on a piece of the system I'll be working on a single component, be it user, product, report o…

The speed at which he switches hosts implies he's got quite a sophisticated tool chain set up for this. The level of skill really becomes parent if you read the rest of the log tho…

Having multiple modes of work is critical in the field. It's an unfortunate reality that the theoretical complexity of programming projects is limitless. Unfortunately that means y…

I'm not suggesting they should have broken up all the teams and made new ones. There are much smarter ways to merge teams that involve gradually easing them together. However, havi…

From my perspective, AMD really screwed up the AMD/ATI merger in the worst way possible. When AMD bought ATI they were well positioned to beat everyone to market to release their A…

If your memory usage and gc speed are of critical concern, then you should really know that ruby is just not going to provide the tools you need to handle that. That's like using a…
