Following that logic, they’ll have to keep spending quite a bit to get to the user base of the current hyperscalers, some of which are already ahead of OpenAI in terms of LLM perfo…

Not entirely sure if you could use it, but wondering if you’ve heard about the origin private file system feature of modern browsers? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/A…

The same goes for anything that provides value right? If you make some useful software, by that logic I should be allowed to copy it and use it in whatever way I see fit (including…

Is it just me or is Hono being astroturfed pretty heavily on HN lately

Wouldn’t they still need to pay tariffs on all the parts they manufacture in china? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the tariffs but it sounds like Chinese companies would have to build …

Obviously there’s a balance to be struck here. We could legalise fentanyl and tell people to just not use it, but that probably wouldn’t have a very positive impact on society. At …

Pretty sure the romans had public executions too

Hundreds? The bread and games thing is literally a quote from the Roman Empire, and I’m sure they didn’t invent it themselves either.

Overfitting on test data absolutely does mean that the model would perform better in benchmarks than it would in real life use cases.

The article asks the following: > I can’t help but wonder if there’s a reaction-diffusion-model-esque effect at work here as well There are continuous approximations of the game of…

Anonymous functions don't have names. This makes it much harder to do things like profiling (just try to find that one specific arrow function in your performance profile flame gra…

> they’re not art directable or dynamic This is not true I believe. There are plenty of papers out there revolving around dynamic/animated splat-based models, some using generative…

Can’t you just instruct your llm of choice to transform your prompts like this for you? Basically feed it with a bunch of heuristics that will help it better understand the thing y…
