What runtime are you using with the 2x RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell machine? I have the same setup and tried DSv4 Flash on vLLM and ran into a ton of kernel bugs that don't seem to have …

Yeah the Yitang Zhang situation just sounds like a total nightmare all around. There was definitely at least some progress on the problem. I get the general sense that there were p…

I want to preface my response by saying that I don't buy most of what the AI labs say. I don't think that LLMs will replace most white collar labor for example. I also find many of…

I understand the frustration with the constant PR-hype these AI labs keep spewing out, but on other hand I just can't understand this sentiment at all. These are real problems math…

You don't have to train from scratch but you can. Distillation ends up being somewhere in the ballpark of 1000x faster to train [1]. It also comes with the huge advantage of not ne…

It depends on the facilities the language offers to you by default right? C++ offers much higher level primitives out of the box compared to Zig, so I'd say its a higher level lang…

I agree with you that package management has nothing to do with how low-level a language is. That being said Rust is definitely a much higher level language than either C or Zig. T…

The languages trade complexity in different areas. Rust tries to prevent a class of problems that appear in almost all languages (i.e two threads mutating the same piece of data at…

Rust is a world away from Zig as far as being low-level. Rust does not have manual memory management and revolves around RAII which hides a great deal of complexity from you. Moreo…

This has not been my experience with Waymo. I drove a total of about ~3.5 hours in Waymos in LA when I was visiting and their robustness to very unusual situations absolutely floor…

GPT2 was definitely a risk, just not of the same magnitude. It would have (and did!) make social media bot farms way more convincing and widespread. There was specific worry about …

Real median wages have been increasing pretty consistently since the FRED started recording it: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

I don't really understand what you mean by this. The claim is that the same prompt with the same question produces worse results when it's queried in a model that has more than 200…

Does anyone know the font & colorscheme being used in the code snippets?

Wow, I was going to make something almost exactly like this! Really cool work and thank you for sharing

I think that's a fair assessment. To your point `cbindgen` makes the mechanics of the whole thing painless & linking was trivial. That's worth a lot especially when compared to oth…

I have to disagree here a little bit. Calling C functions from Rust is a very pleasant experience, but the other way around is not so nice. You usually have to manually create type…

Likewise Ken Liu (the English translator for the Three Body Problem) has a really good short story "The Perfect Match" about the same concept, which you can read here: https://www.…

There are still a HUGE number of games you can play with Intel integrated graphics all of which are extremely good. Many of the greatest games of all time are quite old or 2D which…

This is a really impressive project, but I wish the Github page had more information about the design of the system, e.g 1. Is it intending to be a unix-like system? 2. is libc sup…
