the newest scaling law: inference-time compute.
sohamgovande··on What's new in C++26 (part 1)
One major gripe I have with these C++ updates is that the proportion of codebases that actually use recent C++ features (cpp17, cpp20, cpp23) is very close to zero. The more and more esoteric this language becomes, the fewer people who can actually master it.

Source: I've been writing C++ for 8 years.

sohamgovande··on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production
Really excited to see that the battery is entering production. Feels like every year we hear about new batteries in the lab that are "2x-5x as efficient as Lithium ion" but they never seem to actually hit production.

Please make a non-electron version. This app takes up 400mb in my applications folder on macOS.
sohamgovande··on Ask HN: What framework/tools to use to build front end in 2023?
Vercel's website (vercel.com) is just MIND-BLOWING. Like if y'all know their develop.preview.ship. animation, it was nuts. How do people even think of such things!
sohamgovande··on Sally Ignore Previous Instructions
> { "safe": false, "reason": "The prompt contains a sudden shift in topic that attempts to manipulate the assistant into adopting an unrelated stance or action, indicative of an attempt at prompt injection." }

Wouldn't it be more accurate to have the LLM think of a "reason" before the decision on whether or not a text is "safe"? Order matters for LLMs - the reasoning would guide it to accurately spit out true or false.

sohamgovande··on Java 21: What’s New?
Java 21 is great but every enterprise java system I've seen is still stuck on JDK 8
