How does one know whether they actually learnt physics this way. Seems a lot of reading and structure, that's great. Not convinced about whether there is a change in understanding.…

I laughed at this "but the code complexity became too much for me, and I abandoned the project." even Terry Tao finds some code too complex to write. Really bullish on LLMs expandi…

Rewrite in C is the new Rewrite in Rust.

So, and iPad with an attached keyboard.

If it is this easy, surely the trend is Rust output being an intermediate pass of the LLM super compiler. A security subset if you will (like other kinds of optimization), it will …

Good. How does it compare to cuOPT which seems to be 10-5000x faster than existing solvers for Vehicle routing if you believe the marketing.

Not Rust because you won't find anyone to maintain code. Rust is only for rewriting existing code in other language not maintaining it. C++ perhaps because of number of people who …

LOL, the blog gives a lot of detailed reasons, even summarizes it [1] and but some random stranger gives an outdated opinion from the '90s, which is not even wrong just plain humor…

Andy is probably the only person who adores Larry Ellison (Oracle) unironically.

Seems like a bug, it's pulling in all the jobs that have either vision or pro in their text (which is probably everything). Need to put "vision pro" to filter and even select the p…

This is a good resource, however for about 99.99% of people, you are most likely to just use a foundation model like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc. so this knowledge/training will ge…

LOL, this is the list to keep in your head for this so called "manual". Best of luck of those who will work through this. BTW, Karpathy made that comment in 2025 not 2024. Morphabi…

Seems you are paying the Dell tax of 15%. The same setup is $4K from NVidia, Lenovo and $3K for 1TB at Asus. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/dell-pro-m...

You just need to master one package managed in depth and you will get what you really want with Modern C++.

Just like San Francisco and Dallas/Texas (from his article) are very different in the US, we should expect lot of differences in Europe (as others mentioned, he clubs UK with EU). …

Great summary of the year in LLMs. Is there a predictions (for 2026) blogpost as well?

Seems very detailed and comprehensive. Did I miss it, but was there a performance comparison to the PyTorch version at the top?

Three things: 1. The Rise: 2005 - 2010 Google hired Guido van Rossum in 2005 (stayed on for seven years) and gave corporate blessing that made everyone comfortable with moving from…

Confluent was trading at less than 50% of its IPO price when IBM made the offer. The stock and the company has been going sideways for several years now, keeps growing revenues but…

Kind of strange take as though unique to software. Every sector that is large has issues since ambitious projects stretch what can be done by the current management and organizatio…
