    I got the same result. I usually use Monaspace by GitHub. Interestingly, they both use texture healing. https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/blob/main/docs/Textu...

    If you look at it that way, I agree. But then the same thing is done for executing Go, which is listed with the other compiled languages.

    As a small note, Swift is a compiled language. It uses LLVM as a backend, same as Rust and Clang (C/C++/ObjC). It's currently listed under "Web & typed scripting".

    Claims of being "10x faster performance than existing solutions" using a HNSW written entirely in Python is enough to raise alarm bells, vibecoded or not.

    I was reading into it and came across your blog post. It's a good followup read. It has better avalanching compared to indexing by `(i * prime) % n`, but at the tradeoff of `n` bei…

    I use "random" in quotation marks because it communicates the topic effectively and is very straight to the point. Colloquially, when people say "random" in the context of algorith…

    Reminds me of a really cool coding trick to get a "random" permutation of an array in O(1) time/memory. https://lemire.me/blog/2017/09/18/visiting-all-values-in-an-...

    And for times you need a fast heap-allocated type, Swift's Noncopyable types have been pretty great in my experience. Especially so for graph data structures, where previously reta…

    I've tried different L-Theanine supplements, and there's definitely a difference in quality across companies... which could help explain the variance in experiences. Unfortunately,…

    Honestly, I'm welcoming this move to Notion. It's much less cluttered than Medium.

    Hi there! I made the initial suggestion to look into Robin Hood hashing when it was first posted on Reddit. Glad to see it make its way into the repo!

    Is it possible to finetune an LLM on the factual content without altering its linguistic characteristics? With Stable Diffusion, you're able to use LoRAs to introduce specific char…

    Btw, the quantized models are on Huggingface, so step 1 and steps 3-6 can be avoided. (The link is 3/4ths into the llama.cpp README)

    I really like the font aesthetically, and I'd use it as a coding font. However, the brackets and parentheses look too similar at smaller sizes, and arrows (ie. -> and =>) don't qui…

    Just curious, but have you tried the `equatable()` modifier? It's doc description seems to be closer to what you need than the `id()` modifier. https://developer.apple.com/document…
