> as of 2020 most researchers believe that backfire effects either are unlikely to occur on the broader population level, or only occur in very specific circumstances, or do not exist

from your link

They only proved that one exists; computing the actual construction is non-obvious (the naive way to construct it is computationally infeasible).

> how many work units can run in parallel

not original author but batching is one very important trick to make inference efficient, you can reasonably do tens to low hundreds in parallel (depending on model size and gpu size) with very little performance overhead

> matrix would be everywhere

now i know the bar is 1000 feet below the earth with teams but matrix is still only maybe a foot or two above the surface

i really want to like it but every few months i try it and it’s clearly just not ready :(

most slop is human slop, who do you think claude learned from :)

yeah there is apparently not a lot of overlap between hn/twitter users and devin users, and we don’t really do marketing campaigns either

logos on website if you want to see some of our customers lol

(I work at Cognition, opinions my own etcetc)

True! Devin Review doesn’t make the kind of judgements you mention, it just does its best to find bugs and help you understand the code faster. I managed to review a PR on an airplane (without starlink) with it earlier this week lol

I was scared to learn but then a coworker taught me the 4 commands I care about (jj new, jj undo, jj edit, jj log) and now I can't imagine going back to plain git.

Obviously the working tree should be a commit like any other! It just makes sense!

Codeium (now Windsurf) did this, and the plugins all still work with normal Windsurf login. The JetBrains plugin and maybe a few others are even still maintained! They get new models and bugfixes.

(I work at Windsurf but not really intended to be an ad I’m just yapping)

I think I remember one of the original ViT papers saying something about 2D embeddings on image patches not actually increasing performance on image recognition or segmentation, so it’s kind of interesting that it helps with text!

E: I found the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.11929

> We use standard learnable 1D position embeddings, since we have not observed significant performance gains from using more advanced 2D-aware position embeddings (Appendix D.4).

Although it looks like that was just ImageNet so maybe this isn't that surprising.

Yes! The retransmission logic in Linux NFS is independent of transport (see the `retrans` option in `mount.nfs`).

Weirdly enough this also means that if you’re running with TCP you can have retransmits at the NFS/SunRPC level and at the TCP level depending on your configuration.
