The matrix multiplication is only deterministic for sparse-dense products under these settings: > torch.bmm() when called on sparse-dense CUDA tensors And it's not listed under the…

It may be an implementation detail, but in practice, if the only way to get a deterministic output is to run on the CPU, then it's not going to be usable.

Chaitin's constant does not count? Depends on your definition of constructed, but contrary to "easy" normal numbers such as Champernowne's constant, it's not defined by its sequenc…

This would be easier using the Champernowne constant ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champernowne_constant ) which is guaranteed to be normal, not just conjectured.

I thought fair use was decided on a case by case basis, and could not be guaranteed? If true, wouldn't that mean that in other cases it could be ruled differently?

No but you can get it for free with a prescription.

Sounds like it indeed. The balance was... interesting, a single tank could not win against a dozen cavemen.

Openrouter is a startup, what's the indication it serves token at a profit? It could be serving them at a loss to show growth.

> For example, in a variant of environment TR87, Opus 4.6 scores 0.0% with no harness and 97.1% with the Duke harness (12), yet in environment BP35, Opus 4.6 scores 0.0% under both…

No, APIs fall under copyright, but the Supreme Court found that Google's reimplementation of Java's API was falling under fair use. Fair use is decided case by case, one cannot use…

Not quite in my opinion. The output of an LLM from a simple prompt falls into the public domain, but if you also give a copyrighted work as input, the mechanistic transformation pe…

Well I'm implying that someone who's been reading a codebase for 10+ years is the worst person to claim an "independent reimplementation".

There's a difference between "I've read a LGPL code once, maybe I could do something similar" and "I've been reading this LGPL code for 12 years and now I'm going to do exactly the…

Everyone writes as if he just fed the spec and tests to Claude Code. Ignoring for now that the tests are under LGPL as well, the commit history shows that this has been done with t…

Google vs Oracle ruled that APIs fall under copyright (the contrary was thought before). However, it was ruled that, in that specific case, fair use applied, because of interoperab…

The test suite was also licensed under the LGPL. The reimplementation can be seen as a derivative work of the test suite, and thus should fall under the LGPL. This does not even me…

Even the most permissive open source licenses such as MIT require attribution. Releasing as open source would therefore benefit the author through publicity. Bein able to say that …

I'm in strong agreement with this. Even though I'd prefer winter time all year round, I would rather enjoy permanent summer time over switching twice a year. And I'm living in Fran…

Unfortunately it needs push notifications to authorize online payments.

TOTP not accepted, because the confirmation for payment must include the amount to be paid, which cannot be done under TOTP as far as I know.

Not running, but in cycling we have power meters, and some workouts (eg 2 x 20' threshold) will definitely burn in the range of 800 calories in an hour. The energy measured by the …

I' m far from being an LLM enthusiast, but this is probably the right use case for this technology: conjectures which are hard to find, but then the proof can be checked with autom…

The idea is interesting, but I don't think this qualifies as a second factor, as it can be reduced to a factor you have to remember, so equivalent to a password. The second factor …

I don't think old publications will become open access, only new ones.

But the approach here is "write new code in rust", not rewrite.
