Answering myself: I've tried pi and oh-my-pi (omp.sh) in the last couple of days, and the latter feels solid and more effective than CC/opencode/pi. I have not reviewed the code, a…

I use CC at a client because that's their stack. I use (a particular version of) OpenCode for my own work, because it is so much better. Reading this post makes me sad. Because eve…

So, are computing gradients details of backpropagation that it is failing to abstract over, or are gradients the goal that backpropagation achieves? It isn't both, its just the lat…

Nah, Karpathy's title is "Yes you should understand backprop", and his first highlight is "The problem with Backpropagation is that it is a leaky abstraction." This is his choice a…

Its a nit pick, but backpropagation is getting a bad rep here. These examples are about gradients+gradient descent variants being a leaky abstraction for optimization [1]. Backprop…

I am not hiring, but might be able to help with some other parts. DM me if you want to talk.

I use python extensively. I've used bash (+awk+xargs+sed...) extensively. Nushell is already a great improvement over bash _as a shell_. It is even better when using it to compose …

Very nice formalization. One area for refinement: it considers two stacks either identical or unrelated. Consider that stack A;B is actually very close to A;B;C, the difference mig…

I've needed these capabilities often while using awk for converting messy logs/error outputs into tables/commands. Nowadays I like the nushell approach to the composition: echo 'qu…

Mislabeled? sounds like you're SEEKING WORK, SEEKING FREELANCER is for the other side.

I've joined the Tribe community a few months ago, done one project with them, so far very happy with my experience. - Pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable people on the slack. - Brief …

Some applications depend on approximately solving optimization problems that are hard even for small problems. The poster child here is combinatorial optimization (more or less equ…

We see so many examples of regulations having directionally wrong effects... That regulation is adversarial (largest regulated entities are savvy and often propose the regulations)…
