    A single synchronous request is not a good way to understand cost here unless your workload is truly singular tiny requests. Chatgpt handles many requests in parallel and this arti…

    Of course, we already need to be working in Spaghetti ints or prepping them will be as complex than a linear scan. Can't wait for spaghetti arithmetic. Do we have a better algo tha…

    I think people said the same thing about NNs in general before we hit a scale where they started performing magic. There could be exponential or quadratic scaling laws with any of …

    If you have tight interfaces that fully encapsulate the use of any, you're fine. If you want to return `any` or pass it around outside of an insulated zone, you're gonna have a bad…

    One could argue that what you're describing is one of those alternative business models. You don't care if someone comes to your page anymore for ads if the scraped page is the ad.…
