The train/test split is one of the fundamental building blocks of current generation models, so they’re assuming familiarity with that.
At a high level, training takes in training data and produces model weights, and “test time” takes model weights and a prompt to produce output. Every end user has the same model weights, but different prompts. They’re saying that the constitution goes into the training data, while CLAUDE.md goes into the prompt.
> Use caution when using the manual door release; the window will not automatically lower when the door is opened and damage to the window or vehicle trim may occur.
Manually opening the rear doors is a destructive operation!
Is it actually "destructive" or is it more of a "cramming the door seal over the window and flexing the widow assembly in a way that would result in more failure under warranty than they want if done regularly" type thing.
> To support the cluster’s massive scale, we relied on a proprietary key-value store based on Google’s Spanner distributed database... We didn’t witness any bottlenecks with respect to the new storage system and it showed no signs of it not being able to support higher scales.
Yeah, I guess my question was a bit more nuanced. What I was curious about was if they were fully relying on normal autoscaling that any customer would get or were they manually scaling the spanner instance in anticipation of the load? I guess it's unlikely we're going to get that level of detailed info from this article though.
Neither "roasted" nor "steamed" are completely appropriate for this cooking method.
While there is steam in the vessel, it comes only from the water lost from the meat, not from any additional water, and the meat is heated by the microwaves, not by the steam.
Without keeping a lid on the cooking vessel, the loss of water is too rapid and the cooked meat becomes too dry. Even so, the weight of meat is reduced to about two thirds, due to the loss of water.
In the past, I was roasting meat on a covered grill, where the air enclosed in it was heated by a gas burner through an opening located on one side, on its bottom. With such a covered grill, the air in which the meat was cooked would also contain steam from the water lost by the meat, so the end result was very similar to the microwave cooking that I do now, also preventing the meat from becoming too dry, unlike with roasting on an open grill, while also concentrating the flavor and avoiding its dilution by added water or oil.
> In 2022, the fatality rate for people traveling by air was .003 deaths per 100 million miles traveled. The death rate people in passenger cars and trucks on US highways was 0.57 per 100 million miles.
Planes travel about 10x-20x faster than cars, but that’s still 0.06 vs 0.57. Seems like quite a difference. Which numbers are you using?
> I want everything that passes through a function to be a copy unless I put in a symbol or keyword that it suppose to be passed by reference.
JavaScript doesn’t have references, it is clearer to only use “passed by reference” terminology when writing about code in a language which does have them, like C++ [0].
In JavaScript, if a mutable object is passed to a function, then the function can change the properties on the object, but it is always the same object. When an object is passed by reference, the function can replace the initial object with a completely different one, that isn’t possible in JS.
Better is to distinguish between immutable objects (ints, strings in JS) and mutable ones. A mutable object can be made immutable in JS using Object.freeze [1].
Thinking on this subject a bit more. I have to wonder if C++ made references just so there is a fast an efficient way to mutate without having to make a copy?
Maybe someone should work on a way to make references in javascript land. Sort of like immer but baked in.
I guess in javascript world, the phrasing I am looking for would be
I wish all arguments were copies unless I put some symbol that says, alright, go ahead and give me the original to mutate?
It seems like this way, you reduce side effects, and if you want the speed of just using the originals, you could still do that by using special notation.
It's not a "belief"; that's what computability is. This definition is the whole point of the work by Church and Turing that resulted in the lambda calculus and the Turing machine, respectively.
