I think, generally speaking, the decision to enforce a linter in CI/CD pipelines is well within a project lead’s or technical director’s purview, and there seems to be a pretty bro…

I think you should just focus on the road because most of us are just trying to get home safely to our families. Some of us are even biking beside the road on a lightly-protected b…

Yeah, because they aren’t in need of a social safety net.

I think you need to give some concrete examples, considering the US happily let its companies offshore a lot of work to China over the years, and Chinese funds own large chunks of …

I’ve found they’re quite good when you’re higher in the compiler stack, where it’s essentially a game of translating MLIR dialects.

Because it doesn’t? Thats why the field of formal methods exists.

Because the code is the actual thing, tests can only show that the code fails in certain cases, they don’t actually prove the code is correct.

Generally speaking, I try to ensure that the LLM is using core abstractions throughout the codebase in a consistent manner. This makes it easier for me to review any changes it mak…

And even then - I still read the code it generates, and if I see a better way of doing something I just step in, write a partial solution, and then sketch out how the complete solu…

This line of thought is honestly a bit silly - uv is just a package manager that actually does its job for resolving dependencies. You’re talking about a completely orthogonal prob…

I think there are 5-7 thousand confirmed deaths by the UN, and medical reports in Iran estimated there could be 20,000+ casualties.

I see the value of the students, it just seems like an odd thing for a government to subsidize via NIH/NSF funding. We don’t really have anything analogous to that in Canada and it…

EVs should do much better on brake dust thanks to regenerative braking, no?

Luckily, the LLM has the text to cite, it can be passed in at inference time, which is legally distinct from training on the data.

Because text analysis is substantially easier than video analysis?

Sure, in the sense that any belief about the law isn’t cut and dried until a judge has explicitly dismissed it in the court of law.

Are you implying that an LLM needs to be trained on a specific piece of text to answer questions about it?

You don’t need any rights to execute the feature. The user owns the book. The app lets the user feed the book into an LLM, as is absolutely their right, and asks questions.

I work on a much easier problem (physics-based character animation) after spending a few years in motion planning, and I haven’t really seen anything to suggest that the problem is…

I think this is an interesting direction, but I think that step 2 of this would be to formulate some conjectures about the geometry of other LLMs, or testable hypotheses about how …

Did he get an actual type theorist for that part of the project?

These companies are also biased towards solutions that will more-or-less trap you in a heavily agent-based workflow. I’m surprised/disappointed that I haven’t seen any papers out o…

Most of these C-suite executives have more than enough money to retire comfortably.

It’s kind of a bummer because this is the exact same playbook as DirectX, which ended up being a giant headache for the games industry, and now everyone is falling for it again.

You would need to identify specific far left views that would be comparably objectionable. I’m not going to be upset if someone has wonky ideas about free market systems or tax cod…
