    I didn't know about the static cache, that was a nice learning for me. The rest is pretty obvious /too lengthy for everyone who ever did profiling/benching. Also, the text has a lo…

    AI doesn't need to be AGI to be useful. Surely, you've tried Claude Code before and found it more helpful than Clippy?

    > The project owner strongly emphasize the no LLM dependency, in a world of AI slope this is so refreshing. The project owner is talking about LLVM,a compiler toolkit, not an LLM.

    That's not how I remember it. Excitement for python strongly predated ML and data science. I remember python being the cool new language in 1997 when I was still in high school. Py…

    I think you're underestimating what AI can do in the coding space. It is an extreme paradigm shift. It's not like "we wrote C, but now we switch to C++, so now we think in objects …

    I assume TPU TCO is significantly cheaper than GPU TCO. At the same time, I also assume that market demand for GPUs is higher than TPUs (external tooling is just more suited to GPU…

    I grew up in the Internet at that time, and it's certainly not how I type. So you might want to be more specific about which sites or subcultures you think this style is representa…

    The sentence is constructed, weirdly, but it's meant to say that fever is "killing off unknown foreign bodies"

    Arguably both Go and Python also have great stdlibs. The only advantage that JVM and .NET have is a default GUI package. Which is fair, but keeps getting less and less relevant as …

    I don't think "inference" as a verb has become technical slang. At least not in my bubble.

    "developers can prototype, fine-tune, and inference [AI models]"... shouldn't it be infer ?

    I think what is distinct in this proposal is that there are n 1:n channels

    Why? I fail to see how using chromium as basis for other apps has impact on who has the power to innovate in the browser space?

    > The geometric mean of the timings improved from 218 to 12, a ca. 20× improvement. Why do they use the geometric mean to average execution times?

    As someone who worked at both Brain and DeepMind: their cultures were very different. Brain was bottom-up, open-field research whatever you want/care for. DeepMind was much more na…

    I guess it depends on use-cases. I use ChatGPT a lot for "trivial" questions a la "how do I uncommit a specific file in my last git commit" or "how do I paste from one PIL.Image in…

    Two questions: 1) Going by the Runtime vs GLUE graph, the ModernBERT-Base is roughly as fast as BERT-BAse. Given its architecture (especially Alternating Attention), I'm curious wh…
