Cool project! I tried something similar a while ago [1] - I wanted to load up an embedding model and semantically order texts, all in the browser. So I pull ONNX weights from Huggi…

Oh wow, they are still around! I used to keep a Knoppix disk around for times when my desktop would run out of space and wouldn't boot (if I remember right). Boot it with Knoppix, …

You usually see this kind of analyses in conference papers, esp. if they have a datasets track. The NeurIPS Datasets & Benchmarks (D&B) track is a good example. But you will have t…

These "You're right to push back" scenarios are scary for me. I mostly code ML implementations, and some of the errors Claude Code (CC - have only used Opus 4.7) makes are very sne…

Reg PRs - for the ones with complex requirements what I am seeing is that time to initial PR is very short, and a ping-pong between the reviewer and developer begins, because in my…

I should go back to this (like some of the other comments suggest) - I think there is potential in suggesting multiple lines, and I would have really loved it to work, but it is cl…

I am not particularly bothered by the speed but the AI suggestion clutter is quickly becoming an issue for me :( I type fragments of a line and it will suggest the next 5-6 lines. …

They are great for specialized use-cases: (a) where the problem is not hard enough (you don't need reasoning), or (b) diverse enough (you don't need a world model), (c) you want ch…

I notice you mentioned dspy - do you also support prompt optimization?

This is an amazing quote - thank you. This is also my argument for why I can't use LLMs for writing (proofreading is OK) - what I write is not produced as a side-effect of thinking…

I once modeled user journeys on a website using fancy ML models that honored sequence information, i.e., order of page visits, only to be beaten by bag-of-words (i.e., page url bec…

I use Claude Code within Pycharm and I see the git diff format for changes there. EDIT: It shows the side-by-side view by default, but it is easy to toggle to a unified view. There…

Thank you. Your comment about LLMs to semantically parse diverse data, as a first step, makes sense. In fact come to think of it, in the area of prompt optimization too - such as M…

I was not aware this existed and it looks cool! I am definitely going to take out some time to explore it further. I have a couple of questions for now: (1) I am confused by your l…

Thanks for the example. Yes, true, this is for expensive functions - to be precise functions that depend on data that is hard to gather, so you interleave the process of computing …

Timefold looks very interesting. This might be irrelevant but have you looked at stuff like InfoBax [1]? [1] https://willieneis.github.io/bax-website/

You don't - the way I use LLMs for explanations is that I keep going back and forth between the LLM explanation and Google search /Wikipedia. And of course asking the LLM to cite s…

Love awk. In the early days of my career, I used to write ETL pipelines and awk helped me condense a lot of stuff into a small number of LOC. I particularly prided myself in writin…

I'm curious to know if Anthropic mentions anywhere that they use speculative decoding. For OpenAI they do seem to use it based on this tweet [1]. [1] https://x.com/stevendcoffey/st…

Wouldn't this be an optimization problem, that's to say, something like z3 should be able to do - [1], [2]? I was about to suggest probabilistic programming, e.g., PyMC [3], as wel…

Hadn't seen this before, very nice read, thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment!

Aside from secondmind [1] I don't know of any companies (only because I haven't looked)... But if I had to look for places with strong research culture on GPs (I don't know if you'…
