Deno does not have its own type-checker. The `deno check` command is a wrapper for `tsc`. It will use the Go version if given a flag. The code is not first-party and is not in Rust.

Yes, the video has a transcript available. You'll find a "show transcript" button in the description.

That said, you'd be missing a bunch of hand-made illustrations and animations from one of the best math communicators in the world. If that's not appealing to you, I'm not sure the transcript will do much for you either.

The pitch is that it's a fully-general model, so you can skip training/tuning/selecting a particular categorisation model for each task.

Sidebar: if you're also mitxela on youtube, I just had the strange experience of reading this comment while listening to your voice from a different window!

On Macintosh keyboards it's ⌥⇧-. On the iOS soft keyboard, it's a long-press on the hyphen key. People often point out that various software will turn a double hyphen -- into one by default. We're overflowing with different ways to type an em dash, for those with any curiosity to learn.

I have to be honest. While this is obviously a smart and useful idea, it misses one of the core features of Jev: its confidence scores. Partial confidence could easily be mapped to fractional spaces, using unicode characters like U+2009: THIN SPACE. As it stands, this package is not harnessing the full power of Jev.

Be more specific. Is he a bad person for having an amateur interest in mathematics, for exploring that interest through language models, or for writing a blog post about his experience?

That's an excellent question for the maintainers of the MacPorts project! It can supplement the very clear and polite answer you've already received from a maintainer of Homebrew.

That's just derision, not an explanation. And it's a bad way to treat someone humbly trying to learn.

Google sells (and also owns) domains with exotic TLDs. It's reasonable to expect them to get handled gracefully.

And as the article explains, it was the prefix (web.*) and not the suffix (one.*) which turned out to be tripping their validation rules.

With an open-weights model, anyone with the hardware to run the model can act as a provider. The median provider pays nothing for the model, so they do not contribute to the cost of training it.
