What exactly is the ask here? Do you want input for a programming model? Practical advise for building a compiler? Do you want to target real hardware or a software simulator? > I'…

I think this question mixes up two orthogonal dimensions: transactionality (i.e., OLTP vs. OLAP) and data model (relational, document-based, graph, vector, ...). Regarding transact…

If you had <50% accuracy in expectation you could improve your analysis by inverting it, I suppose...

My read is that investing into AI is the trendy thing to do in 2024. No CEO will have to justify pouring money into AI; they would probably be seen as negligent if they don’t. It’s…

Umbra was recently spun out as CedarDB [1]. And Hyper is alive and well at Salesforce/Tableau! The team working on it is still in large parts the original Hyper team from TUM. You …

Thanks, that seems to be exactly what I was looking for! Any insights on the business model? Is this just to advertise the pro tier or do they monetize usage in another way (e.g. s…

I would like to toy around with LLM assistance (Chat/Copilot) for my coding side projects. Given that I will only use this sporadically (20hrs per week max, with variation between …

I believe this is a rational assessment in general. A lot of the discussion around this topic seems to be negligent of market dynamics. However, the crux is in the details: > You c…

First few lines are almost verbatim ChatGPT (without knowing your exact prompt): https://chat.openai.com/share/a7a9c996-f655-427d-bc23-4e9161... Look — I appreciate that you want t…

As someone who never owned cryptocurrency and frankly never cared that much: could you ELI5 the idea of a Bitcoin ETF? Is it just a vehicle to trade Bitcoin (as in a single cryptoc…

Hypothetically, what would happen if you fed Bing AI's output to curl and the result back to Being AI? Someone mentioned in an earlier discussion that Bing AI could actively simula…

Sorta-kinda: VSCode lets you execute code from regular Python files in a Jupyter session [1] by demarcating code cells with "# %%" [1] https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jup…

15-445/15-721 got me a job. Thank you so much for making them publicly available.

David Sinclair's "Lifespan" Podcast changed my relation to food (although I can't vouch for scientific accuracy).

What's your strategy for retaining knowledge from lectures, papers, textbooks, talks, etc? Specifically, 1) Do you take notes? 2) Do you compile/rewrite notes? 3) Does spaced repet…

Absolutely. I also believe that Copilot is getting more flak than appropriate at the moment. To rephrase my comment above: I don't want to blame the team behind Copilot for not get…

What amazes me is how predictable(?) all of the recent issues were. Don't get me wrong, the folks behind Copilot are clearly, without any doubt smart, creative, and capable. But th…

This might be a fair assumption from a birth statistics viewpoint, but completely misses immigration. I met a lot of brilliant people from all over the world during my undergrad at…

I use a setup like this. Essentially, I use pyenv [1] to manage Python versions and Poetry [2] [2]( https://python-poetry.org/ ) for virtualenvs/dependencies. The workflow for crea…

Hi, this might be somewhat of an odd question, but anyway: I might soon move into a small studio apartment with just enough space for either a desk or a small dining table. Persona…

I don't pretend to know the numbers, but my guess is that Survivorship Bias might account for that to a substantial amount. I just can't imagine that there are people with glass bo…

I loosely followed the work of the "Kohlekommission" (i.e. the panel that was responsible for negotiating the exit plan) through various German news outlets. The strategy agreed up…

They do. As an annecdote, the professor who formerly held the "Machine Learning" course at TU Munich left for VW's AI research group ( https://argmax.ai ) a few years ago. Whether …

Phew, you have some courage, questioning the foundations of modern Mathematics in a place like this. But I can relate to your concerns about Cantor's argument. When I first heard i…
