I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it’s a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

  • I wish they would have chosen to use software to maintain threading in comments and I’m not sure that really Discourse gamifies it’s posts. After a quick look at the interface of myBB, I can say that I personally prefer Discourse. But I think non-accelrated-time-decaing forums are way better than Reddit for things like a project hub. I think what I liked about having many of my interests in on Reddit was the context switch for a topic often didn’t require a context switch in interface to benefit from the network effect of many people participating in the topic.

    But at the end of the day, knowing where to get quality assistance and casual discussion about a topic or project is all I’m after. Reddit has been a place to find what I was after, oftentimes as a signpost to find where people are gathering. And now the threadiverse is providing that function much better and sooner than I expected despite its many shortcomings.






  • From the main section of the paper published in Nature (which is available for free):

    Using AlphaDev, we have discovered fixed and variable sort algorithms from scratch that are both new and more efficient than the state-of-the-art human benchmarks. The fixed sort solutions for sort 3, sort 4 and sort 5 discovered by AlphaDev have been integrated into the standard sort function in the LLVM standard C++ library

    It seems they did find improvements for sorting variable sized list but only the sort 3, sort 4 and sort 5 algorithms got implemented in LLVM.
