Fast as in time-to-market

VC vs bootstrap is usually based on company TAM. There are certainly high growth bootstrapped businesses.

Not common in Silicon Valley, but much more common in the rest of the country. There’s an archetype for bootstrapped tech businesses: - highly vertical specific - couple hundred mi…

It’s a tensor stored in GPU memory to improve inference throughput. Check out the PagedAttention (which introduces vLLM) paper for how most systems implement it nowadays.

They slightly restructure their MoE [1], but I think the main difference is that other big models (e.g Llama 504B) are dense and have higher FLOP requirements. MoE should represent…

You can easily do a fermi estimate based on the information given. They are comparing GPU hours. See: https://planetbanatt.net/articles/v3fermi.html

I might be missing something, but DeepSeek’s recipe is right there in plain sight. Most of the cost efficiency of DeepSeek v3 seem to be attributable to MoE and FP8 training. DeepS…

LLMs are inherently bad at this due to tokenization, scaling, and lack of training on the task. Anthropic’s computer use feature has a specialized model for pixel-counting: > Train…

Author: @fandzomga Username: fsndz Why try to funnel us to your paywalled article?

Conditionally yes. There are many libraries that cannot be tree shaken for various reasons. Libraries typically need to stick to a subset of full JS to ensure that the code can be …

GraphQL is very powerful when combined with Relay. It’s useless extra bloat if you just use it like REST. The difference between the two technologies is that LangChain was develope…

To be fair, LLM-based chatbots are much better about this because you don't need to discover the magic incantation to talk to a human. It's a trade-off because that same property i…

It depends on the business, but the kind of metrics you are talking about are measured and taken seriously. People have absolutely gotten fired for CS quality KPI drops.

While it may not happen for you, “too lazy to look it up” is the vast majority of CS requests. My understanding from talking to a couple of CS execs is that these have been a slam …

> AppStore would be dead on arrival Certainly not. PMF was already established via the jailbreaking scene and Installer.app / Cydia. Millions of people went through the annoying pr…

If you’re saying that economics is a foundational driver of progress, then yes - almost by definition. Banks and investors provide liquidity to the system, which is just one of man…

Yes, this is a fundamental weakness with LLMs. Unfortunately this is likely unsolvable because the search space is exponential. Techniques like beam search help, but can only intro…

They fall under a few buckets: Driver: - node-postgres - node-mysql2 Query Builder / Other thin clients: - knex - kysely - slonik ORM: - TypeORM - MikroORM - Objection.js - Drizzle…

Its a two sided marketplace and companies only care about the conversion they get from different channels. If demand dries up, it will be reflected in more attractive pricing - I d…

Css modules would be great, except there’s bad tooling in VSCode. Autocomplete through Typescript is the killer feature of Panda / Vanilla extract, not that you can style.

I was thinking about this too, but the wife of an actor and someone two years out of her masters were not the caliber people that should have been on the board of an $80B company. …

Firing a CEO is an extraordinary measure only taken in dramatic situations. Yes, the board can do it, but the legal and reputation risks are such that at the very least you let the…

You’re right - the board construction is remarkably bad. Seems like it was a classic case of centralizing power by stuffing the board with relative nobodies.

It’s incredibly common in every East Asian coastal cuisine. If you live near the coast, you can easily forage your own too.

Mexico has been a victim of corruption since before it was a nation. Its political system under the Spanish was designed for efficient resource extraction and labor exploitation. I…
