Looks super promising! A couple of questions:
For new open weights models, will you need to adapt model code and optimization for your inference engine by hand?
It's true that BS=1 is king when it comes to agentic workflows, however these kinds of system serve multiple requests concurrently with dynamic batching. Do you think it will scale as well ?
Any plans to release it open source?
Congratz again for the release
As ADHD dev that thought about something similar (but never worked on it) I'd love to see the code. Please make a post when you intend to release it as opensource, it seems super interesting
It takes very little energy to digest fat, a moderate amount for carbs, and a high amount for protein.
Carbs are the easiest to digest, proteins and fats are the hardest. That's why they make you feel satiated for longer.
However fats are more calorie dense (9kcal per 1g, vs 4kcal per 1g of proteins/carbs). Which means, if you're not careful, you can binge eat fats more easily (I can consume 1000kcal of almonds without even noticing).

I agree but a big problem remains. How do you make it scale for 100k applications?
"Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B. Rosenberg is a wonderful book (I picked up from HN) that explores this concept very well.
Definitely recommend a read

I just get
"I don't have enough information to do that. I'm a large language model, able to communicate in response to a wide range of prompts and questions, but my knowledge about that specific video is limited. Is there anything else I can do to help?"
I was wondering how it performs in a more complex (and realistic) benchmark like Bird?
I'd love to see how it performs in some benchmarks, specifically against Spider (https://yale-lily.github.io/spider) and BIRD (https://bird-bench.github.io/)

Hi everyone! I'm Christian, one of the few software engineers from San Marino ! First learner then engineer with 4 YoE. Currently working at Corsi.it, an e-learning platform based in Italy. Here I had the pleasure to work in many different areas: mobile, then web as a fullstack, then a bit of infra. Would love to find a place to specialise more as a backend dev, or even as a SRE.
My other passions include tinkering a bit with hardware and SBCs, some light pentesting with Flipper Zero, code puzzles and writing programs for stuff I need or out of spite.
I'm always amazed by all the brilliant people here in HN and I feel this is the right place to find challenging and fun opportunities!
Maybe it was the 1700 anniversary on 2001? The official founding date is 3 September 301 AD
I live in San Marino, let me chime in!
The historic center, which is called San Marino Città, is a gorgeous medieval town and it's also part of UNESCO heritage. I definitely recommend a trip there, if you happen to be somewhere near.
When I went to school there, I regularly missed the bus so I had the chance of doing a few walks down to my home. It's a bit steep, since the town is located at the top of mount Titano at 700m of height, but it's truly charming.

yeah but in the 90s you didn't have a measurable and significant increase in teenage suicides and depression, right?
Independent studies show that it's among the best but not quite on par with medical grade devices. I suggest to have a look at this channel
I assume those excess deaths would've come because of the failure of health system and its inability to aid curable cases of Covid
Have you tried transcripts with swearing? Last time I tried, it censored "shit" with "stuff".
Not ideal, maybe I should've asked to censor with asterisks instead of changing the whole world
I bet Apple will include a switch (off by default) to allow side-loading. Less tech-savvy folks will not even know how to enable side-loading.
Mostly all of American iPhone owners
Actually this is wrong. They did not receive any funds from the Government. There is an article in Italian with the words of one of the founders.

Thank you! After having seen so many pessimistic comments about the merge it's refreshing to see someone willing to change its mind.
I loved day 19 because I managed to use some Automata theory I studied at uni. Something like, I cannot simply use a regex because it's a context-free grammar. Then I learned about recursive regexes and how they could be used to parse a cfg. Aaah fascinating, really.
That sounds a lot of info you managed to extrapolate from this little context.
