  1. Hopefully you can write the teased next article about how Feedforward and Output layers work. The article was super helpful for me to get better understanding on how LLM GPTs work!
  2. Thank you!
  3. I remember having this argument with my professor at the school, who insisted that a function should have only one "return" clause at the very end. Even as I tried, I could not get him to explain why this would be valuable and how does this produce better code, so I'm interested on hearing your take on this?
  4. There are missiles in which the allocation rate is calculated per second and then the hardware just has enough memory for the entire duration of the missile's flight plus a bit more. Garbage collection is then done by exploding the missile on the target ;)
  5. It's not really an option. Beside various communication tools, many many banks require you to have a smartphone as their 2FA option.
  6. This only applies to pre-2020 Tesla's and it was around 8-10 years. The more recent ones are designed to last the vehicles lifetime.
  7. I tried to do a very low latency https endpoint with Lambda and Rust and wasn't able to get less than 30ms, no matter what I tried.

    Then I deoloyed an ECS task with ALB and got something like <5ms.

    Has anybody gotten sub-10ms latencies with Lambda Https functions?

  8. At least in Nordics (I'm from Finland) heat pumps are rapidly replacing other forms of heating. One can get a big enough heat pump for a 200m^2 house (including heating hot water) for around 10-15k, with a few thousand more for installation price.

    Adding 10-15kWp of solar panels to the roof is around 6k more. It's definitively a no-brainer as it will recoup the investment in 5-10 years.

  9. It helps tremendously if you have a programming background as usually the developers behind the original format didn't have any need to make things harder than they need to be. Because of this, you can often guess how the format works, aka. "If I was the original developer, how would I do this?"
  10. I used to have a very common name (before getting married and took my wife's last name). Imagine that I have firstname.lastname@gmail and somebody was genius to take firstname.lastnam@gmail.

    I felt this was so stupid, that i quickly lost any willingness to try to relay the emails to their original owner, as the other person had zero interest to change their address to be harder to mistype.

  11. Doesn't Golang support this as well, out of the box?
  12. I'm curious to understand the need to have names for such many different colors and I'd love to hear your take! A naive reasoning would say that names are useful if at least two different persons know the meaning for a name and thus it will help communication.

    Now I'm not sure how many colors are there in that list, but it feels like there are too many to be practically useful. How do you see this?

  13. Highly recommend DaVinci Resolve, way better than Premiere in my opinion.
  14. Would you? I think that EU mandates a mobile connect for emergency services (eCall), but can you point out a legislation which forbits the owner to disable it in the vehicle they own?
  15. HCL is so annoying as it tries so much to prevent user to "do too complex things" and thus it doesn't have proper iterators other similar concepts, which would be very useful when defining infrastructure as xode.

    This has resulted bunch of hacks (such as the count directive on terraform) so that the end result is a frustrating mess.

  16. What dictates that certificate update needs to have a manual change process? I'd bet that it's just legal team saying that "this is how it's always been" instead of adjusting their interpretation as the environment around changes.
  17. Good point and very true!
  18. 10ft is definitely not enough for practical use. In order to heat a rural house with a heatpump connected to geothermal you need in order of 200-300ft deep hole, at least here in Finland.
  19. I'm most impressed with being able to order the CNC'ed metal parts. I'm just a novice cad designer and I'd love to learn that capability.
  20. I'd love to find a tool which could recognise a few different speakers so that I could automatically dictate 1:1 sessions. In addition, I definitively would want to feed that to an LLM to cleanup the notes (to remove all "umm" and similar nonsense) and to do context aware spell checking.

    The LLM part should be very much doable, but I'm not sure if speaker recognition exists in a sufficiently working state?
