What a beautifully written article. It's extremely that I favourite an article but this is one.

The Hidden Physics of LLMs: Retrieval as Thermodynamics

I found this video to be illustrative as well. Simple and anyone can understand.


Very extremely. Quite a lovely presentation. I'm definitely having a Patrick Bateman-esque appreciation for that delicate cream background.

i am a mathematician wanna-be. I have an undergrad honours degree in maths. As a retirement or pre-retirement project, I want to learn LEAN and contribute to it either via development or via developing the Mathlib or both!

Pointers welcome. As long as they are not null. Btw, I am also interested in compilers.


we have a tendency to look thousands of years in the past for wisdom. weird.


Isn’t that because wisdom is mostly informed and validated through experience?


Python's default is gallop sort however radixsort is much faster and performs in O(n).


> radixsort is much faster and performs in O(n).

Radix sort time complexity is not O(n); it's O(n*k) where k is the size of the largest element. Besides it has an additional O(n+k) space complexity.


I thought it was Timsort?


It was and always will be timsort-ly yours. iykyk.


radixsort isn't a comparison-based sort algorithm, so you're comparing apples to chickens.


R has that too.


really? thought it just function(x)


Totally RAD!


the julia solution was bad


Cos shipping things is not a concern


They should hire English teachers to fix their grammar. “Will hire no more engineers.” Wtf


It's fine to say "X will hire no additional staff" or "X will remain asleep no longer". These are established phrasings in English.


Scammy. I can’t even preview one
