    It can be the case that both: - The physics of the universe can be completely modeled as computation, and - It's possible to pose undecidable problems about the way the universe un…

    This was long before. Google had conversational LLMs before ChatGPT (though they weren’t as good in my recollection), and they declined to productize. There was a sense at the time…

    Both would be understood and are roughly interchangeable. "Sequential" feels more appropriate to me for the task runner scenario where we wait for one task to finish before running…

    You might be using JSON mode, which doesn’t guarantee a schema will be followed, or structured outputs not in strict mode. It is possible to get the property that the response is e…

    I’m not as familiar with the Baby Bells, so this is a surprising comparison to me. Bell Labs was famously so productive while it had the monopoly money hose, and not as much came f…

    I don’t know of any public details on how they implement Context Caching, but that is presumably exactly what they are doing. Just caching the text would be a minimal savings.

    There are many different rules of thumb on this floating around. 1g per lb of body weight is indeed something a number of well informed people recommend, but those people generally…

    You can achieve this without UUID keys if you attach UUIDs to the requests. This has the advantage of working for all kinds of mutating requests, not just creates, but requires tha…
