    You might like looking at Dafny. It is more imperative focus, but has many of the same software proving functionality that Lean has. It is different in that it uses SMT instead of …

    I followed the initial instructions and the 7B model worked just fine. I tried the supplementary instructions to download some of the models (7B, 13B, and 30B), and it didn't seem …

    Ray tracer or a simple roguelike. I've got pretty good experience with both, so knowing the algorithms is helpful. Where it gets harder isn't the language itself, but usually the i…

    Can anyone else get beyond the 2nd level? I am getting stuck because it returns the values in slightly different order than is expected. And I don't see a way to report an issue vi…

    I didn't read as much as I normally do, mostly due to school, but I really enjoyed "The Midnight Library" and "Recursion" for fiction. I am mostly done with Antifragile, and it's p…

    Yeah, I hope it continues to live up to the hype you've heard. I had a hard letdown, but I hope that doesn't happen for you.

    I'm not exactly proficient with GeekBenchery, but what I see here is that the M1 Max per core barely outperforms the M1? https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10496766?basel…

    The most recent, full guide is available on Amazon for $2.99 on Kindle, and a reasonable $17 or so for the paperback. I'm not sure that this version is legal to host, though it is …
