Well, for one thing, I’d point to all the other anecdotes of developers being made 10x more efficient due to LLM use. But really I’m just comparing against my personal experience. …

> Don't use it to write code. It's a terrible programmer. I see this sentiment often, and I’m honestly not sure where this comes from, as it’s really not been my experience. I feel…

Was it repressed? It doesn’t look to be significantly less prevalent than other 9s from the histogram.

He sold his business . That tends to happen quite a bit.

Yeah, historically it’s been software that’s limited AMD here. Not surprised to hear that may still be the issue. NVidia’s biggest edge was really CUDA.

It’s not that they don’t have it. It’s that they don’t want it.

Software aside, does AMD have a potential strategic advantage in the long term since they are also producing top tier CPUs? Is there some future benefit to tightly integrating thei…

I’ve been wondering about this. It used to be that different chip makers had different efficiencies, and so measuring two different companies chips in gigawatts wouldn’t be a good …

I think maybe this refers to unlearning wrong information?

I have a similar mindset though less focused on the type of questions being asked and more about how many times I have to answer the same question. Ideally, the number is one time.…

Actually, I think humans require much less energy than LLMs. Even raising a human to adulthood would be cheaper from a calorie perspective than running an AGI algorithm (probably).…

I think the big piece that is being overlooked here is the distance. The distance itself poses significant challenges. The obvious things like resupply and communication are much h…

I haven’t kept up with python too much over the past year or two and learned a couple new things from this code. Namely, match/case and generic class typing. Makes me wonder what e…

Oof, yeah, this site is really not great on iOS. The first time I published a site, I was surprised by how much traffic came from mobile devices, even though my page was intended f…

It’s interesting how many different opinions there are in this thread! Perhaps it really varies by field. I was reading mostly neuroscience papers when I was taught this method as …

While that wasn’t my experience as a junior developer, this is something that I used to do with academic papers. I would read it start to finish. Later on, I learned to read the ab…

You’ve convinced me!

It can be more than one thing - it's both, and more.

Well, commutes into a central city is a bit of different beast, and many metros in the US have trains that service the suburbs. Driving in and around the suburbs is what I was talk…

That fixes it for certain types of people, but certainly not for most people in in the north east during winter.

People in US suburbs frequently live several miles from their town center, if they even have a town center at all. Cycling simply isn’t viable to large swaths of the US. There isn’…

Yeah, that’s fair, and something you basically get for free. Also, hi James! :)

I’ve never seen it used for backtests personally. Generally backtested results are saved as a batch of variants following some naming convention as different symbols.

For pricing data, sure, but for things like fundamentals or economics where there are estimates that are revised over time, one way to store this data is with a versioning feature.…
