I don’t think I really agree with the author’s approach here, but I will say LLMs have been a huge help to me as I’ve been reviewing linear algebra and diving into signal processin…

I’m not talking about the actions we take or how we might perform at certain tasks, I’m talking about how our brains actually work. My point is that we have no idea how I’m able to…

All arguments like this boil down to semantics at a certain point, but yes large language models can “intuit” because they can generalize between examples. The issue then becomes h…

I would imagine the extension system they built would be much more difficult to manage. They could have opted for Lua, though, I suppose.

I’ve often thought of this kind of concept for a programming language. Maybe it’s the qwerty keyboard or my bad typing habits but certain characters break my flow when typing.

Agreed, but I do think this is a wholly different kind of hype. With crypto currencies it was the promise of modernizing value exchange, with some zealots promising the end of trad…

I’m kind of curious why the decision to have implicit casting like this was made in the first place. I can’t think of a single upside other than not having to type out cast(foo as …

Not sure who you’re following on LinkedIn but this is most assuredly not the case for me or anyone I know

Extremely cool. This got me thinking that I would love to have a mermaid-like dsl for creating full tabs and apparently it exists![0] [0] https://github.com/0xfe/vextab

Interesting! I’ll have to try a cooking the recipe for shorter. I am a bit skeptical since my family’s sauce is the best in the world already :)

Haven’t heard of forever sauce but my family makes sauce by cooking it pretty much all day. If we ate it every day then yeah we might as well keep a pot on the stove all the time

A lot of those things you mentioned have sticking power because they’re familiar to folks and migrating to something else is a big deal. I can’t imagine most people would be able t…

I always thought that area of research had the coolest name, too: “mechanistic interpretability”

I assumed they were talking about cars and other motorists. I drive a scooter (Genuine Buddy) and have crashed before due to drivers not checking properly when at a two way stop

Interesting thought but I assume a lot of samples in the training corpus are examples of translation between languages and the same text in different languages.

Even if you could understand human cognition to the level required to say, confidently, that it’s done one word at a time, it’s likely not! Natural language is not a prerequisite f…

They will absolutely be missed, maybe not by any individual but the impact of them leaving will be felt. People willing to go to bat for code quality and who are also careful about…

I don’t play multiplayer stuff like Fortnite or Call of Duty, so I might not be your typical user. I use Steam for everything, as well. But I fully switched to Fedora a while ago b…

There’s more than two options here. It was already difficult to deal with self diagnosis for doctors, now we have a machine that outputs recommendations, and does it with confidenc…

Where can you not run LuaJIT? Genuinely curious

both the Julia and Rust programming languages use curl -> sh to install

Seconding Reaper, great software. Renoise is also extremely fun to use if you’re comfortable with trackers (for midi input not that they track you) and you make electronic music

Aren’t LLMs notoriously bad at recognizing negation? EDIT: In long context I mean

It’s possible that there’s a set of words or phrases that route deterministically to save money on obvious stuff. I kind of wonder, though, which model they’re using to do the rout…
