thelastparadise··on John Carmack on inlined code (2014)
I tried this but they just come back with retorts like "OK boomer" which tends to make the situation even worse.

How do you respond to that?

Is there any predictability/patterns for neuron/layer activation? If so, would it be reasonable to have a second tiny model that specifically tries to predict activation and preemptively swap those into memory?

Clippy?

thelastparadise··on TSMC execs allegedly dismissed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as 'podcasting bro'
I (20+ years experience programmer) find it leads to a much higher quality output as I can now afford to do all the mundane, time-consuming housekeeping (refactors, more tests, making things testable).

E.g. let's say I'm working on a production thing and features/bugfixes accumulate and some file in the codebase starts to resemble spaghetti. The LLM can help me unfuck that way faster and get to a state of very clean code, across many files at once.

You're being pydantic =)
thelastparadise··on A terrible way to jump into colocating your own stuff
How about make it so you can smash the whole rack with a sledgehammer or datacenter burn down and system hums along like nothing happened.

You're treated lile a terrorist when you are a law abiding citizen.

Actual criminal? Society will bend over to accommodate you.

Your cynicism is commendable.

Why?

Yep it's just pure jank. Even Apple (especially post-Jobs) can produce jank.

This is a health/readiness probe in k8s. It's already solved quite solidly.
thelastparadise··on Kamal Proxy – A minimal HTTP proxy for zero-downtime deployments
Why would I not just do k8s rollout restart deployment?

Or just switch my DNS or router between two backends?

thelastparadise··on Working in the office 5 days/week to build company culture is a myth: PwC report
I definitely trust PwC on matters of "culture."

> There are the telltale bullet points with bold starting words for example.

Is this where we're at now, really? Basic markdown formatting is a telltale sign that something was written by AI?

Can someone explain simply how these benchmarks work?

What exactly is a "failure rate" and how is it computed?

> but for someone who can and does, the $20/month I pay for ChatGPT more than pays for itself.

Would you be willing to pay even more, if it meant you were getting proportionally more valuable answers?

E.g. $200/month or $2,000/month (assuming the $2,000/month gets into employee/intern/contractor level of results.)

This might drive a positive feedback loop.

Wait til you generate WolframAlpha queries from natural language using Claude 3.5 and use it to interpret results as well.

Raise it up just one
thelastparadise··on Learning to Reason with LLMs
Wouldn't this introduce new economics into the LLM market?

I.e. if the "thinking loop" budget is parameterized, users might pay more (much more) to spend more compute on a particular question/prompt.

thelastparadise··on Learning to Reason with LLMs
Why not? Isn't that basically what humans do? Sit there and think for a while before answering, going down different branches/chains of thought?
