As someone who has dived into Rust over the past few months, the two main reasons for employing it are: A) Bleeding edge performance (Shares the same problem space as C/C++, zero cost abstractions etc.) B) Memory safety…
Nah, my theory is you're seeing run-of-the-mill brash business dealings with the unusual characteristic of being broadcasted publicly. You wouldn't accuse the same of CEOs from more 'boring' companies because we only…
Arianespace of course a huge success for a brief period, until it wasn't.
Liquid-fueled setup is largely unsuitable for ICBMs. Want something that can sit in the silo for years and then be immediately available - so solid rocket motors are the way to go, plenty of other defence companies that…
They only just announced it a few weeks ago, surely not launching it would be the business decision if this was the case.
I'm yet to see a study that convinces me of the potential of this concept. All of them when you get down to the details have at least one of: - An unrepresentative test set , i.e. a population with similar blood…
This is my gut feeling about a lot of activity going on in modern corporations. Private equity firms, for example, have been historically blamed for a lot of once great engineering companies in the UK being combined…
I recently needed to render markdown to view some notes. Thought opening chrome w/ a plugin or VSCode felt similarly sluggish options to do such a simple task. Now a few weeks after playing with textualize this pops up!…
> In Go, I found that using an interface was not free: it can make the code slower. In C++, if you implement the following type and call count on it, you find that optimizing compilers are able to just figure out that…
Exactly, it's just the wrong people at the top and the wrong incentives. Is Arianespace structurally capable of producing economical access to space? Probably not.
Perhaps we're talking past each other, is "loss threshold" a specific term in LLM literature? Merely pointing out that the debate as to whether we are compute or data limited (OP) has not concluded at all; There are…
That's a fair point. Not at all like training on Wikipedia in which nearly every sentence has novelty to it. Then again it would give you data on every accent in the country, so the holy grail for modelling human speech.
> Dataset size is not relevant to predicting the loss threshold of LLMs. You can keep pushing loss down by using the same sized dataset, but increasingly larger models. Deepmind and others would disagree with you!…
The WebGL equivalent sites were a delight to go through; So well structured and thoughtfully displayed. It's so great to find a resource you can put some trust in amongst all the outdated and fragmented code out there.…
I certainly wasn't and appreciate you posting it, great site! A little intimidating initially, but after a minute curiosity has you flicking between the different controller channels and stages in the mission.
I'm not sure I can get on board with the sentiment of your first point. Anaesthesia as another example took more than a century to get right, had some huge failures and wasn't taken seriously. It surely earns the label…
As a programmer not part of this world: what's the go-to alternative in this situation? Does ECS not naturally arise from using OOP? Trying to think if you are creating instances of players/physics objects/items how…
Perhaps a lot of people wouldn't agree and I admit I'm stirring up debate a bit to see what other people think. To me it seems if we see orbital success in the next 5 yrs, mass production of starship thereafter and…
Goes to show that nailing down the 'HN crowd' opinion is more difficult than it seems!
I find it really hard to see how productive a collective pause and 'think' about something so inherently unpredictable will be. > "implement a set of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development that…
It was a specific rebuttal to the parent comment which seemed to not understand the reality of resources in vs resources out of animal agriculture. Of course you can caveat a lot about my comment, beef for instance is…
