I use Pydantic Settings for this, would be nice to see a comparison to that. I do like the idea of keeping this in a configuration file.

Pre-training mean exposing an already-trained model to more raw text like PDF extracts etc (aka continued pre-training). You wouldn't be starting from scratch, but it's still pre-t…

> Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in hav…

Solved how?

Writing a calculus book that's more rigorous than typical books is hard because if you go too hard, people will say that you've written a real analysis book and the point of calcul…

I tried and failed to find some kind of concrete methodology that they used to get to the number 30 months. I'm still waiting for quadratic algebra to make my knowledge of linear a…

It's confusing but you just have to read the official docs https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/arc...

I like the subway analogy. I'm sure I've heard some version of it before, but maybe because I was younger I didn't really get it. It really is a little strange to tell kids who hav…

Child-proof caps are easy to take off but difficult to accidentally take off.

You're right, I was confusing TensorRT with Dynamo. It looks like the relationship between Dynamo and vLLM is actually the opposite of what I was thinking -- Dynamo can use vLLM as…

It sounds like you might be confusing different parts of the stack. NVIDIA Dynamo for example supports vLLM as the inference engine. I think you should think of something like vLLM…

I believe this is a question you should ask about vLLM, not llm-d. It looks like vLLM does support pipeline parallelism via Ray: https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/serving/distributed_…

In Hindi, “gandi” means dirty, which I guess is appropriate for marches

I don't know if it would be right to call MCP pure request/response, since unlike HTTP, it's a stateful protocol.

I don’t see that graph anywhere on the Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effec... I do see other graphs that tell a different story. Namely, tha…

A cool result, but it seems like it should be called a computer science conjecture

This just made me realize that we're 10 years past the 100th anniversary of Einstein publishing about general relativity. Which made me realize that we're a quarter of the way thro…

I see several people complaining about this in this thread. Are you talking about their old interface or the new one they released a couple years ago? I find their new one to be de…

Collecting names without revealing theirs and vague demands. Seems like a fed honeypot.

The Tyranny of Structurelessness and The Gervais Principle are the two essays that I think about a lot at work.

Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compa…

Even this seems to imply that there are also dishonorable parts that we are assumed to be aware of. Seems like a disrespectful way to talk about people who agreed to be your photog…

It's disrespectful to candidates time to play misdirection games like this. If the form wasn't put up to mislead people, it would be different. There's a reason most places don't d…
