But hopefully erratic behavior of such callers may actually bring some change because Karen is definitely going to complain about him once the manager asks why the fax machine is down.

this is magic. hope Spotify doesn't spot it and stop it!

> Mamba-3 is a new state space model (SSM) designed with inference efficiency as the primary goal — a departure from Mamba-2, which optimized for training speed. The key upgrades are a more expressive recurrence formula, complex-valued state tracking, and a MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) variant that boosts accuracy without slowing down decoding.

Why can’t they simply say -

Mamba-3 focuses on being faster and more efficient when making predictions, rather than just being fast to train like Mamba-2.


This is sort of what their first sentence states? Except your line implies that they are fast in training and inference, they imply they are focusing on inference and are dropping training speed for it.

It's a nice opening as it is imo


They don't say anything about dropping training speed.

> a departure from Mamba-2, which optimized for training speed.

?


Yes? Mamba-2 optimized for training speed compared to Mamba-1. Mamba-3 adds optimization for inference. These are pretty much version numbers.

Agreed. What you wrote was probably the input, what we see is the LLM output with the directive to "make us sound smart, put gratuitous em-dash"

The first sentence basically does though, no?

Of course my only objection was the language. LLMs are now old enough to leave the jargon behind and talk in simple easy to understand terms.

I’d argue the opposite, the terminology is fairly mainstream by now and “inference” has a much more specific sense than “making predictions”.

The blog is technical, technical terms in the TL;DR seems relevant to me.

Found the guy who made the Windows error messages say “Your computer did an oopsie :(“ instead of including any useful information.

I don't get the downvotes, as I had trouble understanding the intro as well. It seems it was written for a very specific audience.

Yes, it is written for a specific audience.

That is not a reason for snark.

As other commenters have noted, it’s well written.


> I don't get the downvotes

Because the blog post is a technical one and the intro contains very common jargon, and the proposed alternative was wrong.


I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. As a longtime editor your version is immensely better. Looks like the original was probably not human-written.

Why would the simpler version be better for a technical audience?

I kinda feel the same way when I visit Home Depot once a year


oxidation is a chemical process where a substance loses electrons, often by reacting with oxygen, causing it to change. What does it have to do with JavaScript?


Oxidation of iron produces rust. Rust is the language of implementation of that compiler, and of the entire Oxc suite.


But rust is named after a mushroom?


Rust is the layer in immediate contact with the metal :) That's what the official version says, at least.


:shush:


It is written in Rust…


most .ai domains are taken. How I regret not buying watermelon.ai for $85, next day I see it was gone :-(


Which shocks me, I always percieved .ai as a meme domain ending, but startups seem to think it's cool.


Ideas were “cheap” before because implementation was harder. Now I guess the coin has flipped.


A huge part of implementation is how it’s done. A lot of companies made mp3 players, Apple made the iPod. Their implementation was different. It was done with more care and thought. The idea was cheap, 1,000 songs in your pocket. An implementation that connected with people and brought it to the mainstream was hard.

Someone quickly vibe coding something might fulfill the requirements of an idea. However, their implementation will likely be poor and lack the care needed to connect with people on a way that makes them want to use it.

I think understanding this has always been the key to standing out. That doesn’t change in the world of LLM, it becomes more important than ever.


More than writing code the IDE itself makes me anxious. Especially Xcode. Wish they make the IDE interface somewhat simpler by leveraging AI.


With sufficient AI integration, we won't even have to worry about the interface anymore! (I very much look forward to that day for Xcode.)


I just hate CNN subscribe screen. It completely locks my iPhone chrome browser. I have to kill the browser and reopen it to go back.


I recommend AdGuard. Blocks tons of annoyances like that


Ironically people who fall in not doing the thing category of this article are valued more than those who do the thing.


Sometimes that's because they're making it worthwhile, by connecting the thing with those who will benefit from it and explaining how to use it, which is as valuable as doing the thing.

I.e. by making sure that they're doing the right thing.


Are they "not doing the thing", or are they "doing the different thing"?


Selling the thing isn't doing the thing, but it pays more!

Life is tough like that
