How do you deal with target-specific inline asm like tcgen05.mma?

This. It's for renaming.

Eventually the utility will be correctly priced. It's just a matter of time.

It's orders of magnitude cheaper to serve requests with conventional methods than directly with LLM. My back-of-envelope calculation says, optimistically , it takes more than 100 G…

I try to avoid this ambiguity by calling such variables "values".

It's a TSP route over the highest 48 peaks of NH.

How this works is the LLM predicts the probability of the next token and then an arithmetic coder turns that probability distribution into bits. So it will never hallucinate. In th…

My main point is that these jobs are fundamentally different and people spend their time differently as a consequence. At this point, I am more curious about how what I argue even …

Not writing code doesn't equate to not working. Thinking, documenting, designing, discussing, etc are all important parts of their job. I don't understand why you seem offended by …

In this instance what would qualify as “pursing fundamentals” for a producer as defined by the author?

NFL players wouldn’t have time to do drills if their games last 8 hours and they need to play everyday.

Training is work but their main “events” are just much shorter than say that of a programmers. Even the longest athletic event like TdF lasts only several weeks. A programmer or la…

Athletes and musicians pursue fundamentals because they have time; their “work” occurs in intense but short bursts of performances, leaving them the rest of their days to practice.…

They are both randomized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_algorithm#Relation_t...

I think he's referring to threads as a programming model, not the physical implementation.

> Sprinkling printf statements is an efficient debugging technique. Debatable.

> Functional programming doesn't have state, so you don't need locks, so you can get better concurrency. This is not true. Many algorithms are intrinsically imperative (e.g., quick…

It's related to intelligence in the sense that being able to predict well requires intelligence and helps compression. If you have an intelligent model that predicts new words with…

The counterpart of "Contracts" in C++ is "Traits" not "generics".

maybe use fences?

This is probably not useful for production, but volatile is a great way to see what kind of code compiler generates in a realistic setting. For example, if you want to see how comp…

Program verification. E.g. when you want to prove that certain condition/path (e.g. asserts) is unreachable.

This seems odd. I've known no one who learns programming by reading books. Reading books help, but most people get proficient by working on projects.

This is unlikely to happen because of the performance penalty it would incur (e.g. defining outcome of all out-of-bound memory accesses).
