It matters because it means that lab could not train that model without distilling another frontier model, and their progress would slow once they get properly cut-off. If I funded that lab, I would want to know that.
tldr; Starlink doesn't work in South Africa, Elon's home country, because the ANC and its lawfare arm ICASA demands they hand over 30% to the State because of BEE laws.
I’m surprised to see the model names hardcoded as an enum (e.g. `.sonnet4_6`), instead of a string with model discovery so that the user can select their preferred model without having to get a new app version through the App Store to support newer models.
Ooh, thanks for this. I'm going to try quercetin for my histadine sensitivity in red wine, which causes a skin reaction. I thought it was the sulphites, but after trying older wines (which have fewer sulphites), it made it worse. So I've narrowed it down to histadines. The dilemma here is that wines tend to improve with age, but they contain more histadines.
Paredit / Parinfer ruined other languages for me. It lets you navigate up/down/in/out of the Clojure AST with keyboard commands and mutate those expressions, e.g. "Split" will split open the current data structure you're in: `(a| b)` =Split=> `(a)| (b)`, where | is caret. Join is the inverse, and it works for all data structures.
> META II is a domain-specific programming language for writing compilers. It was created in 1963–1964 by Dewey Val Schorre at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). META II uses what Schorre called syntax equations.
The interesting part of META II is that it can be defined in itself on one page (refer page 8 of the paper).
thx that looks much better, but I'll forget that syntax in the next 3 months. nowadays I am just casual commenter on HN spending points on contrarian views that I know will be downvoted and I know no one else will say it.
