    The relevant word here is airgapping, not sandboxing.

    I don't understand the logic of running these models this way without airgapping.

    Many people share this sentiment, many people don't. Who you belong to depend on at least two things: A) How knowledgable is the AI on what you are working on, B) How well do you w…

    This is nothing compared to the peachtreestreets in Atlanta.

    I didnt inspect the rest of the code but I guess the table is fetched from L2 on every call? I think the L1 data cache is flooded by other stuff going on all the time. About droppi…

    I experimented a bit with the code. Various tables with different datatypes. There is enough noise from the Monte Carlo to not make a difference if you use smaller data types than …

    Did some quick calculations, and at this precision, it seems a table lookup might be able to fit in the L1 cache depending on the CPU model.

    "1-bit LLMs" is just marketing. The Shannon entropy of one letter with a 3 symbol alphabet (-1, 0, 1) is 1.58.

    Oo, I'd like to get a roll of these. But I live in Norway.

    I guess they could model the river mathematically. I would not be surprised if there are two or more "stable" stream patterns. Perhaps it resets naturally after one year.

    One of my math teachers in university always brought with him a dry sponge in a small blue bag. (a lighter sponge that you don't wet before use). Brilliant lecturer.

    I wonder why the DOI link on the bottom left of the first page does not work: https://doi.org/10.1145/3719027.3765198

    How come AST parsing fails? Does that imply syntax errors in the code?

    Conversely, I often think about the value I add by being interruptable, by helping my colleague with something that might save him more time than I lose. Good for the company.

    Who cares if it is low effort? I got lots of upvotes for my link to Claude about this, and pncnmnp seems happy. The downvoted comment from ChatGPT was maybe a bit spammy?

    Maybe one shop made these in a big city. Adventurous men bought them, brought them home and gave them to their wife. A great novelty noone has seen at home. So precious they bring …
