Your speculation is pretty accurate afaik. Mark commented that releasing open source models is what is needed to retain the best so it is what they will do (paraphrasing) on his interview with Lex Friedman.
Afaik you're describing something akin to a recurrent neural network, and the problem with that is that it doesn't parallelize well to modern hardware. And vanishing gradients.
Did you watch the video? The author has nothing against trucks themselves, it's SUVs (light trucks) in suburbia and cities that he argues is the problem. Specifically, the many cases where people never even use the capabilities of the larger car (off roading, towing, stuffing it full of shit) and instead the choice of a larger car becomes an overall negative for society (more dangerous for the other guy in any collision, harder to see around, harder to see kids or pets as the driver, headlights more blinding to oncoming traffic die to their greater elevation). Anyhow, you sound very angry and closed minded, maybe give other opinions a chance, you don't have to agree but you also don't have to be an ass about it
Can you explain? I'm (semi) familiar with the heap and definitely hated on first fit and next fit in favor of beat fit. I get that its gonna take significantly less time to find a block to allocate but why does listing files benefit so much from it and not run into a memory usage problem. Unless your splitting the block on allocation but then i would think you still have a peoblem cause you'd have a high degree of external fragmentation.
I typed a lot so i can be better corrected, not because I understand what is going on.
Not sure how relevant this is since it's a third party app, but using Harmonic on mobile the original link would allow me to view the PDF without downloading it (albeit after hitting an empty HN page) while the direct link requires me to download the PDF before viewing.
Tbh I'm just happy to have hacker news, continue as you are.
