Post Mendeley shutdown, zotero has been an awesome replacement (while not being controlled by Elsevier). Given the amount of PDF's that I see during researchy times in my life, it's been an absolute godsend. Highly reccommend!
Zotero is the best. However, if your brain is highly tuned to use Mendeley Desktop, note that they backed down on killing it, they just won't add new features (where that leaves security updates I'm not sure).
I love this kind of research since it correctly identifies some issues with the way the public interacts with LLM’s. Thank you for the evening reading!
I’d love to see future work investigating
- how does this compare to expert users (doctors/llm magicians using LLM’s to self diagnose)
- LLM’s often provide answers faster than doctors, and often with less hassle (what’s your insurance?), to what extent does latency impact healthcare outcomes
- do study participants exhibit similar follow on behavior (upcoding, seeking a second opinion, doctors) to others in the same professional discipline
You’re conflating a person trained in a craft (medicine) with a person good at asking a next-token-generator (anybody) and sussing it off as if it is a given. Its not.
I love the vibe of squishing formats together — like APE.
I’ve had this problem in the past (shudders in Bazel’s WORKSPACE file) and what eventually ended up saving my bacon was org-babel.
Yes, it does mean that emacs is a build-dependency, but honestly literate programming pretty excellent for untangling the complexities of a large build.
fantastic — I’m sure folks who have poked binaries or written patches have all had the desire for something like this. Glad to see that it exists!
I’m definitely going to use this for solving some problems that i’m currently facing.
For anyone curious about what hare-brained scheme that one could hatch with this, i’d like the ability to do something like a PGO’d shared library —- watch the process run and exit, tracing all dlopen’s to create a new shared library with only the right functions from all the referenced libraries.
Hopefully this works, and if not, i’ll at least fail at something interesting :)
One of the cited references is Guillermo Webster — and while the article lists uncmin as the desired artifact, the project that uncmin was developed for takes the concept beyond layout to back solving for desired program outputs.
Carbide [0] is the project that encapsulated some of this in a workable demo. It’s really cool!
My favorite illustrations for the concepts discussed here (in an accessible form, not the processor optimization manuals) has long been [0].
For me, this really makes working with a modern microprocessor a science, as anyone who has written benchmarks knows -- it's difficult to reason about the complex behaviour and performance cliffs without testing.
Another excellent example of the weirdness has to be JVM anatomy quarks [1]
It was very good, I learned a lot. Actually more high-quality info than I can absorb in one sitting, but I bookmarked it to come back to.
I'd love to see an updated version. The article talks about how out-of-order execution has a high power overhead and produces relatively small performance gains, but the M-series chips from Apple have deep OOO and low power consumption; I'm curious to learn what they did differently.
+1 to miscommunication, but host_volume is indeed what I’ve used to allow host files into the chroot. Not all drivers support it, and there are some nomad config implications, but it otherwise works great for storing db’s or configurations.
