    how does this compare to Arrow IPC / Feather v2?

    The fact that GPT-4.1 was the judge does not convince of the validity of the bench.

    Sad. This guy was such a force of nature and a uniquely wonderful, creative personality.

    This is not true in my experience. Cranking out code is obviously the bottleneck, unless you have the luxury of working on a very narrow problem. The author describes a multi-modal…

    Complete nonsense. Intel 18A, were yields good enough, is competitive with TSMC N2.

    Based on their heavily biased view of the Gaza conflict, based on their Arabic affiliations and the Hamas-run Gaza government’s reporting.

    LoRA and QLoRA are still fine tuning I thought? Just updating a subset of parameters. You are still training a base model that was pre-trained (and possibly fine tuned after).

    You can’t possibly be naive enough to believe that Nvidia’s Titan class cards were designed exclusively for gamers.

    Moving away from color and race blind hiring to discriminatory hiring was not woke, by your definition.

    Yes there should be. We don’t want to pay literal 10x markup because the card is suddenly “enterprise”.

    2.5-3 micrograms per deciliter is nothing. Wouldn’t even come up as elevated by current childhood screening guidelines. I very much doubt 2-3 IQ point difference.

    This is not what premature optimization is the root of all evil means. It’s a tautological indictment of doing unnecessary things. It’s not in support of making obviously naive alg…

    I read it as “most people don’t connect put 2 and 2 together - the doctor could be the boys father”. It is poorly worded, but not strictly wrong I think?

    Correct. An open source project that doesn’t receive in kind development cost reduction benefit from free contributors should not stay open source.

    It makes sense to anyone who has tried to build open source software as a sustainable business. It doesn’t make sense to people who contribute small hobby projects or work as resea…

    In reality open source is very difficult to build a business around, which means that software can’t exist long term. It’s not about not wanting to be open source, it’s about reali…

    Then think of what it means if you have a person in their 40's that is really investing times in startups. Either they're stupid or they are committed in a way that 20 year olds li…

    This is explained in the article: “ That does happen, of course, but research shows that it is not the full story. A study of more than 17,600 overweight and obese patients from 41…

    I don’t think they have a plan B. Architectures take half a decade of work. Porting from risc-v to arm is not a matter of a backup plan, it’s that of a very costly pivot.

    Yeah the comment reads as originating from a person who has never tried to sell something. You need to ask to get attention
