I was basing this more on the fact that you don't have to look at C code to understand that non cached transformer inference is going to be super slow.
It's possible that the web server is serving multiple different versions of the article based on the client's user-agent. Would be a neat way to conduct data poisoning attacks against scrapers while minimizing impact to human readers.
I found reading Linux source more useful than learning about xv6 because I run Linux and reading through source felt immediately useful. I.e, tracing exactly how a real process I work with everyday gets created.
Can you explain this O(n2) vs O(n) significance better?
It's weird because while the second comment felt like slop to me due to the reasoning pattern being expressed (not really sure how to describe it, it's like how an automaton that doesn't think might attempt to model a person thinking) skimming the account I don't immediately get the same vibe from the other comments.
Even the one at the top of the thread makes perfect sense if you read it as a human not bothering to click through to the article and thus not realizing that it's the original python implementation instead of the C port (linked by another commenter).
Perhaps I'm finally starting to fail as a turing test proctor.
