It’s important for you to hear that this kind of syntax thing really, really doesn’t matter that much. Having this kind of complaint about languages is a sign that you haven’t worked on compilers or learned about the…
Scraping would be costly in this world: scrapers would have to spend tokens in order to get the webpage. But, in this world, the website owner would receive tokens that they can then use to do whatever they want,…
For Excel?
Who’s “we”? I don’t want to do that work. I don’t think kernel maintainers do, either. Do you?
I think a reasonable story could have been told that goes like this: local models aren’t as good as frontier models with a $20/month subscription, and the hardware costs a lot. So only a few enthusiasts will buy Apple…
Surely this is not something that motivates the vast majority of people using local LLMs.
There’s a big difference between DRAM and SRAM. SRAM stores bits in the state of a couple transistors. DRAM stores bits in the charge of a capacitor. A CPU is mostly transistors, so SRAM is made of the same “stuff” as…
I’m genuinely curious: why should it be on a separately managed DNS record?
In the context of microcontrollers and electronics, the likeliest intended meaning was shipping from China, South Korea, Taiwan and perhaps Japan, because that’s where the bulk of the fabs are.
Again, I’m genuinely curious: can’t two parties sign a contract that says “you pay for all tokens required to produce the answer, but you only get the final answer tokens”? My understanding of US law is that there’s…
When you hire lawyers or consultants you usually don’t know how many hours they’ll bill you. It will depend on developments in the case that you cannot in general predict. For example if the other side files a motion…
> If they charge by the token, all your tokens are belong to you I’m not sure this argument is correct. You can sign whatever contract you like with the model provider, right? Including “you are entitled to the end…
I think it depends on whatever contract you signed. If you signed a contract that says “you pay per minute of screen time but only get the end result” then I bet that if you went to court demanding the screen recording,…
I’m pretty sure the person you’re replying to means stealing in the context of information, IP, copyright, etc. This thread and this entire topic isn’t about stealing physical goods or money. We can all agree that if I…
But are you willing to pay 10-20% more for that joy? I personally would rather pay less money to fly, not get to see out the window, and spend those dollars on, say, a fancier meal at the destination. Or to have an…
Yes, exactly this -- it's a fast and convenient way for my code to just write the pixels into a spot in RAM (the CPU's RAM, not VRAM) and have those pixels end up on screen. On modern architectures this nearly always…
I went through this a few months ago in Rust. I wrote all the code by hand, no LLMs. Then I went ahead and added a small "game" on top, plus some special effects like pixelization shaders and chromatic aberration at the…
That's technically correct but consider the following: You're implementing quicksort. The actual algorithm is a conceptual piece of math. You write the code. But sometimes the code produces output that isn't sorted. The…
Hey! Thank you for posting. This a great project and an excellent illustration of progress in technology: commodity hardware and open source software got good enough that you could do this at such low cost and as a solo…
What do you mean not serious? He’s developing visual aids to teach students and to accompany his mathematical research papers. Also, not in this post, he’s been actively using LLMs to do real math research, that is, to…
Thank you and yes, I agree! It's neat to use the binomial theorem to see this, because that's the tool the article uses for the main trick/insight it's explaining.
I love complex analysis, and that's the branch of calculus that is most associated with number theory. For example, it was critical in the original proof of the prime number theorem and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in…
I've had a similar experience with Apple Store employees many, many times: I walk in and vaguely describe what I want, and they steer me to the cheapest item they sell that could possibly meet my stated requirements.…
Maybe you mean it's a crime to professionally provide advice of this nature without a license? It is generally not a crime to casually provide advice of this nature without a license. For example, if my friend tells me,…
As you say, "the fundamental theorem of algebra relies on complex numbers" gets to the heart of the view that complex numbers are the algebraic closure of R. But also, the most slick, sexy proof I know for the…
