The difference is that the act of writing a book is a type of knowledge generation/curation/distillation that Socrates didn't know about. I don't think the act of writing prompts f…

Far more companies just go belly up and leave whatever is left lying around. If we are lucky the land or whatever supports someone else tearing it down. In software we build withou…

My real name (542, top 9%) is quite a bit under my username (692, top 6%).

This is neat. I wrote https://github.com/zombocom/rundoc . It has a similar feature. The main driver is to produce tutorials so it also puts the output of commands run back in the …

You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I'm happy to accept the fault for poor communication. But you're making it hard. You're signaling that any clarifications on my behalf wi…

Search the topic. It is historically documented. It might no longer be true though. A way to test might be running an open model locally, directly (without a harness) where you cou…

1) That's not related to chain of thought I was replying to. Someone asked about the "bad at math" and pointed out "but it seems good to me" so I added the color of why that might …

They are bad at math. But they are good at writing code and as an optimization some providers have it secretly write code to answer the problem, run it and give you the answer with…

Thanks for all your work Maxime!

You got your reply already. To add: YJIT is the one that does "basic block versioning" (Which was Maxime's thesis) while ZJIT is a more traditional design. I am confident in that d…

Pedantic point: YC has ads, they are just blend in much better and are delivered in the same medium. Hiring posts (definitively) and tech posts (maybe) by YC companies. The whole p…

Needs (2015) in the title. Five years later, I wrote a novel algorithm for rate limiting GCRA clients https://www.schneems.com/2020/07/08/a-fast-car-needs-good-br... .

Thanks. I was a genuine question and you answered it well. For some reason I've internalized that closures can capture variables sometimes, but I guess I'm not sure the conditions …
