LLMs need to compress information to be able to predict next words in as many contexts as possible. Chess moves are simply tokens as any other. Given enough chess training data, it…

Adding to my sibling comment, time is also mostly used as a coordination system. Being offset by a few minutes would make aligning meetings with your remote coworker an even bigger…

Using caps doesn’t make this affirmation any more true. While you’re correct that it does massively help, money is only a resource, which you can use to trade for a lot of things, …

You’re checking the return value of the command here. Do you wrap all calls in an if? I believe the author was talking about set -e (often used with -o pipefail), so that any unhan…

> there is no demand for (paid) background removal anymore as every iPhone can do it nowadays. PhotoRoom begs to disagree with this statement.

… brings a counter theory to the parent comment to clearly explain why conclusions are hard to draw, then explicitly states that it’s inconclusive. The bad faith and passive-aggres…

Stranger than speaking out loud with your headset on?

Smart people don’t consider themselves better than people around them. This article is so annoying. It has some truth to it, e.g. the mismatch between incentives and success, or ev…

Of course you patch it, but you don’t assume that every system affected by this 0-day got exploited. You try to check if some were and it’s obvious that people at Microsoft are doi…

Great article, the example makes the point really clear. It probably applies just as well to other languages by the way. Two small notes after completing my read: 1. You're using `…

Sorry but gotta say it the way it comes to my mind : « no shit, Sherlock ». Listen to your body. Always.

Congratulations on the launch of such a nice replacement (and improvement!) of Algolia Places. It's much needed in this space.

Just wanted to say after trying out a few searches how blown away I am by this. The level of understanding is indeed not there yet to rival directly with competitors, but you’re do…

I’ve computed the 30% of GDP using the same maths as you did before, by taking 10K per capita over 34K of GDP per capita. Yes taxes are higher in France. Yes some budgets and jobs …

You are trying to disagree here. Otherwise, you’d have looked at other comparable economic powers worldwide that provide a more socialist alternative and see that they are nowhere …

On a single platform, no.

I don’t disagree with your point that there’s shared responsibility. But a big reason the welders aren’t the focus of the blame is that they were the first ones to die in the explo…

I’ll just chime in to say that Algolia runs on an home-made C++ engine. [I work at Algolia]

Do you have an even worse source? This Navigant « study » keeps coming up in comments about Tesla without any explanation on the methodology whatsoever.

The first article you link to sources another article as its source, which itself calls bullshit on the ranking. Your link: > According to Electrek, Tesla trails behind other compa…

There's indeed no OR, as you'd be able to type those three queries with instant results. If you really wanted to do that, you could use the optionalWords feature at query time usin…

Custom-made C++ engine - baked into an nginx plugin - no elasticsearch nor lucene in the stack, except to gather analytics on the side. It has been made to solve user-facing search…
