    "I'd like a car that goes 300mph and gets 100mpg while doing it. I'm aware of a car that gets 100mpg but it is extremely slow." You are describing fundamental tradeoffs. Getting mo…

    Most benchmarks can be trained for as well, so they are over-representative of model's engineering skills. The entire nature of a benchmark is collapsing some qualitative work (sof…

    Let's say you to render conditionally when `x` is present. You do `v-if="x"`. Now you want to refer to `x.y.z` in the body, while `y` is optional. Can you be sure that the value is…

    JSX is a very thin layer of templating logic inside JS. Meaning you have all the language features available while templating. Some arbitrary JS can result in templating. Vue's DSL…

    How many of them can run infinitely? Or be re-triggered by humans to continue where they left off?

    Tai's Model ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai%27s_model ) is a perfect example of this

    What about other benchmarks? Benchmarks where the contents are freely available have become useless for evaluating models.

    Scaling law is a power law , requiring orders of magnitude more compute and data for better accuracy from pre-training. Most companies have maxed it out. For RL, we are arriving at…

    The ability to learn and infer without absorbing millions of books and all text on internet really does make us special. And only at 20 watts!

    Math and coding competition problems are easier to train because of strict rules and cheap verification. But once you go beyond that to less defined things such as code quality, wh…

    In simpler terms - they create an MCP server, essentially an API that the coding agent can call, that can fill in context about previous decisions done by the coding agent earlier …

    MCP server with RAG to feed it back to agents when they are working on a piece of code, and bob's your uncle

    Treating T2D and preventing T2D are completely different things from a dietary perspective. Same way you wouldn't give chemotherapy to a healthy person to prevent cancer

    Yes, but it is not syntax. It's a contract with the library. React is completely usable using vanilla JS syntax. Same cannot be said for Vue and Angular. It feels a bit like talkin…

    You can write const [a, b] = useState('x') in vanilla js and typescript. Hence it is not magic syntax .

    The swapping is indeed faster as the SSD is on the SoC and so fast to access. To the point that an 4 year old 8gb M1 Air is enough for simpler development work, at least for me.

    If you have to measure time spent and do cost/benefit analysis, you're most likely not going to stick with it for the entirety of life.

    Instead, people try to fix it with antidepressants, benzodiazepines or something else. It feels a bit like the US approach to pain management – instead of massages or physical ther…
