Aha, thanks!
You've exactly described the answer, but to people who don't know much about dependent types, this may be a little unclear. The point is that there are two sorts of dependent types. When people who don't know much about…
To me as an American this sounds perfectly fine.
I’m not sure that’s true. We have literal billions of years of training.
I absolutely cannot remember the details, but we did typesafe, macro based generic data structures in C in an undergrad class I took ~20 years ago (CMU Operating Systems). The idea has definitely been around, though I…
Take it up with Isaac Asimov, I guess.
Well, we were using it to talk about things like cache invalidation and lax memory models rather than properties of algorithms.
As other comments have pointed out, this is just not true in general usage. When I was a grad student studying this stuff (~20 years ago), we used "parallelism" to mean running on different cores at the same time and…
> You could literally "reduce" and array of integers to a cancellation token, or a state object, or anything else This is what reduce does, though? It reduces a list to a single thing. It seems like you're thinking of…
You can disable this misbegotten feature with stty -ixon
This is a readline feature. You can enable it in bash (and other shells?) with: bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward' bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'
Interesting; I assumed the write to stdout would just hang for the writing program.
Sorry, by "official support" I mean that there is support within MSR to investigate these tools as a research project, no that there is a plan to actually do the conversion.
As I pointed out in a sibling comment, the plan isn't for it to work. This is a job posting for a researcher at MSR to investigate what it might look like someday.
It's less one guy's plan and more one Microsoft Research team's research goal to investigate technologies that might enable that in a few years. So probably more institutional support than just some guy, but less…
I enjoyed this Terence Tao post the other day. The relevant quote is > one might naively expect that the natural question to ask with regards to a given problem X in a field is "What is the answer to X?". But in many…
I don't understand what you're saying? An LLM is a transformer model trained on a large corpus of natural language, often with some post-training. An image model is a different type of transformer model. What's…
Sure, and those aren't LLMs?
This isn’t talking about correctness of SQL. It’s talking about correctness of queries.

I think this is true when you realize "customer" means "coworker" or "person on the next team over" or "management" or "your intuition about the problem". Which all sort of have the same shape.
There are in fact rough breathing marks there on the articles, stacked under the inverted breve accents. Which is an alternate form of tilde.
Sort of. Romans didn't handwrite like that. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_cursive . Note that the "u" character in both ancient and late ancient Roman cursive is more like the modern "u". (Source: not an…
Absolutely that is not the point of programming. The point of programming is finding good abstractions, writing clear and concise code, creating beautiful algorithms. If I wanted to make a product, I'd be a product…
Jack regularly mixes up words to humorous effect, so knowing that may help with the joke. But yeah, I agree the joke doesn't really work here.
