csjh··on Common Rust Lifetime Misconceptions (2020)
Since static lifetimes last for the entirety of the program, it can sub in for any other lifetime (as it is guaranteed to exist until the end of the other lifetime)
csjh··on Minosoft: Open-source Minecraft client, written from scratch
hypixel is an impressive minecraft server, not mod
csjh··on Inflection-2: the next step up
I disagree, IMO for any model that isn't open source model size is just an implementation detail. If someone released a 10 trillion parameter model that's better than GPT4 it isn't somehow inferior because it has more parameters.
csjh··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
Hard to imagine it was so major that it lead to him being fired while still being so quiet that it hasn't hit any news outlets
csjh··on C++: The most important complexities
Never heard of `execution`, great tip. Is there some big caveat or just generally unknown?
csjh··on WASM by example
If it couldn't take parameters what point would there be in it?
csjh··on OpenAI releases Whisper v3, new generation open source ASR model
Only 3GB, interesting to see how small SOTA models in other domains are compared to LLMs like Falcon-180B.
csjh··on GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
I think it must be based on usage (some GPTs could be using more credits than others)
csjh··on Cooperative C++ Evolution – Toward a TypeScript for C++
Claiming "many people" and proceeding to link to 4 posts that use Svelte as an example is a bit silly considering Rich Harris has said, numerous times, that the decision in Svelte's codebase should NOT be taken as advice for what to do in your codebase, because their decision only pertains to a very specific set of circumstances.
csjh··on Building a unikernel that runs WebAssembly – part 1
But it's an opt-in GC? It's not accidental by any means
csjh··on Progress on No-GIL CPython
That would be nice in a world where Mojo is more complete but it is nowhere near that level right now
csjh··on Requiem for a stringref
Yeah, builtins seem like a bit of a specialized case. If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't even really give a Wasm-side method to create strings? Bit of a shame.
csjh··on Requiem for a stringref
I think string builtins seem to be the direction the wasm committee is moving towards anyways? Unless I'm mistaken
csjh··on Passkeys are now enabled by default for Google users
Don't they need both physical access to device + fingerprints/face?
csjh··on California nearly decriminalizes psychedelics – but governor hits brakes
similar in ottawa
csjh··on ASP.NET Core Blazor
It "works", but there is a pretty ridiculous amount of latency.
csjh··on Show HN: Unity like game editor running in pure WASM
I believe that's at least part of what the GC proposal is moving towards.
csjh··on Large Language Models for Compiler Optimization
LLMs are definitely not AGI
csjh··on Exllamav2: Inference library for running LLMs locally on consumer-class GPUs
Python pseudocode:

```py

output = prompt("My favourite animal is ") # returns a generator

start = time.time()

tokens = 0

for token in output:

    tokens += 1

    print(token)
print(f"Outputted {tokens / (time.time() - start)} tokens/second")

```

csjh··on Exllamav2: Inference library for running LLMs locally on consumer-class GPUs
You measure how many tokens are output in a period of time and take the average?
csjh··on Fine-tune your own Llama 2 to replace GPT-3.5/4
What makes you think 3.5 is significantly smaller than 70B?
csjh··on Fine-tune your own Llama 2 to replace GPT-3.5/4
Is there a source on that? I've never seen anyone think it's below even 70B
csjh··on Falcon 180B
ChatGPT wasn't surpassed by competitors in less than 6 months, what model would you say beat it that early?
csjh··on Astro 3.0
Isn't that just how the view transitions API works?
csjh··on Can programming languages boost each other via instruction tuning?
Fortunately we’ll get revolutionary new products from it, such as calendar app (with AI integration), email app (with AI integration), resume builder app (with AI integration), and more!
csjh··on Reaching the Unix philosophy's logical extreme with WebAssembly
I doubt the gains from React rewritten in Rust would be significant; the expensive code is the stuff you write in components

Also Typescript -> WASM exists in some form through assemblyscript

csjh··on Lfortran: Modern interactive LLVM-based Fortran compiler
Would be cool for there to be a `llama2.f`, like https://github.com/karpathy/llama2.c, to demo its capabilities
csjh··on Lfortran: Modern interactive LLVM-based Fortran compiler
WASM -> x64 as in a full WASM AOT compiler? Don't those already exist? What's the benefit to making one specifically for LFortran? Unless I'm misunderstanding

Super cool stuff though

csjh··on Moonbit: Fast, compact and user friendly language for WebAssembly
No clue, maybe they performed too well :p
csjh··on Moonbit: Fast, compact and user friendly language for WebAssembly
Based on the name, I’d imagine part of TinyGo’s raison d`être would be a smaller binary size. Plus, seems optimized for speed rather than speed-of-compiler
