<p>Cold showers - good for immune system.
Heat expose - good as well.

<p>So we do at least agree on the fact that quality of human language <-> embeddings transition depends on how good target language is represented in the training dataset?<p>Even if it happens at the edge, on every conversation turn, I may assume non captured small subtleties of meaning over time can accumulate into significant error.</p>

<p>> it’s clearly not the case that these things only make use of Spanish training data when you prompt them in Spanish.<p>It’s not! And I’ve never said that.<p>Anyways, I’m not even sure what we are arguing about, as it’s 100% fact that SOTA models perform better in English, the only interesting question here how much better, is it negligible or actually makes a difference in real world use-cases.</p>

<p>It’s just a subjective observation.<p>It just can’t be a case simply because how ML works. In short, the more diverse and high quality texts with reasoning reach examples were in the training set, the better model performs on a given language.<p>So unless Spanish subset had much more quality-dense examples, to make up for volume, there is no way the quality of reasoning in Spanish is on par with English.<p>I apologise for the rambling explanation, I sure someone with ML expertise here can it explain it better.</p>

<p>Because 90% of training data was in English and therefore the model perform best in this language.</p>

<p>Fair enough! Indeed, there are ways to build performant microservices on Java, e.g. Qwarkus + GraalVM, but I've never seen anyone in enterprise world is doing it - 99% of services are still being build on Spring Boot, so in my mind Java in SB are inseparable.</p>

<p>I’ve Been stuck with Spring for many years too and I think it’s just awful choice for micro services that need to scale, simply due to startup time.<p>Not to defend Nodejs ecosystem - your points are 100% valid.<p>With that in mind, I think Go is much better option.</p>

<p>I use Colemak DH for many years and Dvorak before that and I am of an opinion that alternative layouts are way overrated. I even somewhat regret inventing so much time in learning them. QWERTY is just fine!<p>The matter I want to preach about tho are split ortolinear keyboards. I believe absolutely every typist should use them. Conventional keyboards are just bad from ergonomics perspective and eventually it’d have a toll on your wrists health. And many of these keyboards stores key mappings directly on the chip so no need to mess with weird mapping software.<p>Having said that, my split keyboard is one of the best investments I did in my life.</p>

<p>I didn’t really realize the degree of their slowness, until I migrated one of the projects on a self-hosted gitea and runners. This setup is just breezing! It’s an order of magnitude faster we’re talking about.<p>Granted, self-hosting git is not feasible for everyone, but GitHub + self hosted runners seems like a very good option.</p>
