https://projecteuler.net/problem=76 does this have a closed form solution? vast majority of the problems don't seem to have a closed form solution

What would you choose if you went to college tomorrow?

I tried this for "GPU architecture" and "DRAM technology". The hallucination rate for cited wikipedia links was quite high. I think the reliability of the facts weren't good enough either. I think this is more of a function of the learning material's domain(computer hardware stuff) not being as good as say math or programming.

It took you 10 years to get him to give up bread, sugar, potatoes? This approach would be hard to scale.

...so mewing is real and it is not a coincidence that it's suddenly a thing now?

Actually it's way easier to search for the information in an LLM compared to an 8 tb harddisk.

The search is vague, and the result is nondeterministic, but in a lot of cases it's still the better method.

I get it but really, we eat food to retain its nutrients while we read books to retain knowledge(sometimes).

in other words, solving ARC is necessary but not sufficient for AGI

Free lunch good

When kids are asked to memorize the multiplication table, they are actually supposed to memorize it.

General intelligence somehow just emerged from dirt and water + @.

Eloquent Javascript is better suited for someone who already has some experience with basic programming and wants to learn javascript while also exploring more advanced concepts in programming in general.

Javascript was not my first language, but I have refered to javascript.info from time to time and it seems to have a gentle introduction.

I don't think this is a good book for someone who wants to learn programming for the first time.

okay

What's there to farm on your CV if everything is on LinkedIn?

I don't get it.

How can UB on double-free, use-after-free, dangling pointers, etc lead to optimizations?

Your wish is Sora's(or its successor model's) prompt.

Should nukes be open source?

Regardless of that hypothesis, this experiment was a huge success.

There are good screens and bad screens.

As a big fan of spaced repetition I appreciated your previous courses. Going through the python course right now.

What you do you mean by junior not existing in Big Tech?

All the Big Tech companies I know regularly hire interns and new grads.

I appreciate the honesty in this article.

There is so much virtue signaling online when it comes to testing and using debuggers.

Overall I enjoyed this book. However their opening paragraph to floating point numbers is offensive.

"programming languages support numbers with fractions, which are called reals in mathematics. Here are some examples of reals:

3.14159265... (pi)

2.71828... (e)"

fractions are called reals in mathematics

immediately gives pi and e as an example

what do you mean by N+1 algorithms?

This is incredibly sad. What does Dr. Boaler have to gain from crippling math education?

Maybe Youtube could have a limited number of ad skips meant for emergencies like these. Like 5 per month.

It would have been unambiguous in a world where we all agreed that both months and days start at 0 :)
