Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
I bet they’ll follow the sports media and, my personal taste in sports media, has recently started to migrate (e.g., Defector editors and contributors).
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
In my experience, the change has been positive. I rarely see feuds on Bluesky and when they happen I find them especially embarrassing because it’s so unusual.

I stopped posting on Twitter around the acquisition but kept my account. When I do randomly check my timeline I’m genuinely disturbed by the disinformation and pseudo-science, especially in machine learning.

You’re not drafted and languish on a practice squad.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
I don’t follow. We have benchmarks that have survived decades and illustrate the steps.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Crimes with Python's Pattern Matching (2022)
What’s the problem using it as a switch statement if you care about typographic issues? I do this so I’d like to know if I missed something and this is a bad practice.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
There’s no evidence that it’ll scale like that. Progress in AI has always been a step function.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on How to Think About GPUs
I agree that “learning CUDA wasn’t particularly difficult to get started,” there are Grand Canyon sized chasms between CUDA and its alternatives when attempting to crank performance.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on How to Think About GPUs
Look at the state of PyTorch’s CI pipelines and you’ll immediately see that ROCm is a nightmare. Especially nowadays when TPU and MPS, while missing features, rarely create cascading failures throughout the stack.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on GPT-5
My bad if I misunderstood. I assumed by your use of “it” and approximation methods.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on GPT-5
You’re making the assumption that there’s one, and only one, objective summarization, this is entirely different than “writing things down.”
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on GPT-5
I’m confused, you wrote “model,” but then specified “system.” I assume you mean “system” because the tools are not being back-propagated?

Well said

It’s always been this way with LLMs.

Reading? Great! Viewing? Great! Training? Not great.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Eleven Music
I don’t think that’s the case. You’re talking about a genre where vinyl and rotary mixers are a standard part of the discourse. While I think your premise is correct, the genre is quicker to adopt advancements, they are also quicker to acknowledge when something goes too far.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Eleven Music
Rick Beato is fine but he’s entirely disconnected from contemporary guitar-based music. I agree entirely with the OP, the quality-expense ratio has never been better for this type of music.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Eleven Music
My point is that the OP named someone that wrote or co-wrote nearly every song she’s recorded undermining there entire argument.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Eleven Music
Who wrote the last 12 Taylor Swift hits?
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Thesis: Interesting work is less amenable to the use of AI
You don’t empathize with the humane opinion “why bother?” I like to program so it resonates. I’m fortunate to enjoy my work so why would I want to stop doing what I enjoy?
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Highly efficient matrix transpose in Mojo
Sure, but Modular’s mission was to provide abstractions to minimize these types of optimizations.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Beware of Fast-Math
Is this sarcasm? If not, the proposed posit standard, IEEE P3109.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Eurorack Knob Idea
Great idea and I’m shocked this doesn’t exist.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Can a single AI model advance any field of science?
It’d be tricky to avoid inadvertently leaking in the prompt since many discoveries seem obvious in retrospect.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on YAML: The Norway Problem (2022)
For _ordinary_ two‑valued classical propositional logic, e.g., YAML, they are congruent.

Latency?
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on A proof checker meant for education
I’m excited to take a look. I like and usually recommend Daniel Velleman’s “Proof Designer” but I’ve heard from some it’s too obtuse for beginners.

Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on The Einstein AI Model
I’m confident that there’s no magic and I’ve spent years understanding “what the weights do.” You’re describing weights as magic and they are not.
