blubber

Looks like a distribution of dust bunnies in the corners of my room and near the stairs.

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground ...

Larry Ellison? Alex Karp?

Ad Googlers: Who was the guy sitting next to Trump and Musk lately? The title AI Zar goes to whom exactly?

They also have postponed their IPO. So they don't have to be profitable that soon. Anthropic on the other hand plans to do the IPO this fall.

I cannot tell whether you were really serious but this actually could be an interesting study: same task, same procedure, only the language and writing system is different: English vs Chinese vs Korean vs ...

Since the information density is about the same in all (spoken) languages, there shouldn't be much of a difference. But maybe one writing system is better suited for LLMs.

How do you explain applicants that the real goal of your work is folding underwear while the internet is flooded with announcements like this https://www.unitree.com/mobile/As2-W and people explaining how weapons could be mounted on such a thing?

Variable AWS is unbound.

Common lisp isn't functional in that sense.

"found numerous examples of bloat and inefficiencies in Tan’s site code, and used a single (Anthropic) Claude session to review the files he downloaded from the website to confirm his observations"

1. I hope they never get hold of the code of MS Office or almost any other piece of real-world business software.

2. So anyone with claude access could arrive at the same conclusions ... and ask claude to fix it?

In mice

Edit: the title should have such a tag

I suppose you meant "good enough"?

"Where Are the Accuracy Benchmarks?"

I wish the author would have provided one.

There is a conflict of interest, though.

Because it's cgo-free maybe?

Some additional sound bites from last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLevant/comments/1nv9521/larry_el...

That's why there won't be any local models in 10-20 years. The latest Chinese models are already hosted on proprietary clouds.

Obligatory post: open source != free software.

There is OSS you are not allowed to modify etc.

And since you became management, you have refered to software only by the stock symbols of the owning companies?

While I like the move, I think it could have come a few decades earlier and I'm stunned by the fact that this is Franc-only. When will Europe ever wake up?

Isn't Zig's repetitive ceremonial code around allocators+ allocation + defer *.deinit() a sign of a serious shortcoming like golang's error handling? If zig is so good at metaprogramming, why isn't there a metaprogramming solution to this repetitive code?

Or Microsoft could simply fund open source software since they provide a Linux subsystem to allow people to do proper work despite of them having to use windows

Two AI agents fighting couldn't end up in an infinite loop?

Yes, but there is no song with the line: party like it's 1996. Simply doesn't work.

"When I use a text-only browser then no "adblock" is necessary"

So you browser as if it were 1999? Yup, no ads back then.

This isn't about compilation vs interpretation. R is simply badly designed as a programming language. This doesn't change just because its inventor wrote a book.

An RSS client without a web browser, which the team is fervently opposed to?

I know people who used Visual Basic for all of their programming. I'd say No either way unless people explained to me without bursting out into laughter that they also have extensive experience with, e.g., Kotlin, Rust, C#, Java etc. and still prefer VB or R for non-trivial programs.

No, it's not. Even established packages have bugs caused by R weirdness. I like it nevertheless.

"The reason you can use this simpler syntax in R is because it’s non-standard-evaluation ..."

So it actually is about Python vs R.

That said, while this kind of non-standard evaluation is nice when working interactively on the command line, I don't think it's that relevant when writing code for more elaborated analyses. In that context, I'd actually see this as a disadvantage of R because you suddenly have to jump through loops to make trivial things work with that non-standard evaluation.

Isn't really (ie fully) open source, is it?

Is this a problem for which the (human) solution is well documented an known and was learned during the training phase? Or is it a novel problem?

I personally think anthropomorphizing LLMs is a bad idea.
