> 12 to 18 months of linear algebra

Do you mean full-time study, or something else? I’ve been using inference endpoints but have recently been trying to go deeper and struggling, but I’m not sure where to start.

For example, when selecting an ASR model I was able to understand the various architectures through high-level descriptions and metaphors, but I’d like to have a deeper understanding/intuition instead of needing to outsource that to summaries and explainers from other people.

I’m a “Python guy” in that I write Python professionally, but also am like you in that I’ve been extremely underwhelmed by Portry/Pipenv/etc.

Python dependencies are still janky, but uv is a significant improvement over existing tools in both performance and ergonomics.

Super neat. Looking forward to checking out your implementation and learning about this!

I think you want Alto / Montaigne (spelling?). They’re both made by the same person IIRC.

> Think of it this way, if you were going to an event and saw 'buffet available' you'd enquire how to access it. If you saw 'open buffet' you'd know it's just there for the taking.

I think maybe you’re making a different point than you mean to?

- Buffet available = you can view the buffet for free, but you have to pay to use it

- Open buffet = you can use the buffet for free, it’s just there for the taking

Smells like basilisk to me.

It isn’t perfect, but have you tried <datalist>?

Totally agree about tag pickers, I was bummed to see that Bootstrap didn’t have a tag selector component either.

Does TWN provide income data for background checks? I’d imagine that the data depends on your permissible purpose.

This is true for mutual funds, but Vanguard ETFs are available on Fidelity with no fees.

RE: Fidelity Zero

The downside, as I understand it, is that Fidelity Zero doesn’t offer ETFs, and that the Fidelity Zero mutual funds can’t be transferred to other brokerages. Depending on your preferences their expense ratios might justify the vendor lock-in, but Vanguard ETFs are hard to beat IMO.

The order doesn't matter. They often generate tokens at different speeds, and produce different lengths of text. "The one that answered first" != "The first option"

Do you mean the “so you want to ____” format? If so, I don’t think it’s an allusion to HTML Goodies — it’s a decently popular meme that goes back at least the early 80’s (e.g. “So You Want To Be A Wizard”).

What you’re describing isn’t really agnosticism. Agnosticism is about not knowing if gods exist, not about thinking their existence doesn’t matter.

The mix-and-match approach you’re describing is seems more closely related to religious syncretism.
