My guest appearance on fulltimenix is out now. fulltimenix.com/episodes/hor…

never in my life I have seen normal Haskell programmer, they are either very weird people or ultra giga chads

You are not a functional programmer if you program with objects.

James Watt invented the unit of horsepower to market to mill owners to let them know how many horses they could get rid of if they bought a steam engine. As far as I know nobody has coined a marketing friendly term for measuring automatic intelligence so allow me to introduce the *apepower*. It is defined like so: *Apepower = (tokens/second) x SWE-bench verified score* So if a model runs at 150 tok/s and scores 0.5 on SWE-bench verified: 75 Apepower Then you can divide by the number of forward passes per second to get an equivalent of torque. *Clench = Apepower / (forward passes / second)* Therefore *Clench = (tokens / forward pass) x SWE-bench verified score* And so Clench is effectively *reasoning depth*. Which makes sense because torque is essentially a function of engine size and design quality. And for apes it's the amount of balls you can juggle at once before your face starts to do this: >.< So a high clench low rpm system is like an excavator engine. Very expensive to run at full weights and physically cannot rev very high. Low clench, high rpm system is like a diesel hatchback. Good for every day simple patterns but drops off on hard novel problems. Larger parameter count models at similar quality will tend to have higher clench because there's more useful computation done per pass, but overkill for find and replace jobs.

An old Geordie proverb: One man's chicken dinner is another man's bath.

Lovely church.

Say no to monorepos.

I still honestly think that cardano's market cap would be 10x what it is now if people would just enable -Wmissing-import-lists and keep it enforced.

Here's the article. lesswrong.com/posts/kdG4T9jt…

Nix fixes this.

May all your types be checked, and may all your holes be filled with witnesses.

This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone mental.

Once in middle school someone put a piece of Toblerone on my coat and it earned me the nickname Coatlerone for quite a long time.
