Context summarization will be natively added soon. It's already the case on tools like block.github.io/goose: ``` Summarize Conversation This will summarize your conversation histo…

The point I was trying to express is that Mistral is arguably far superior to the giants if you care about speed! So I wished they communicated this more clearly.

The featured accuracy benchmarks exclude every model that matter except DeepSeek, which is quite telling about this new model's performance. This makes it yet another example of Eu…

That's definitely true, but you also see how some settings make it easier to be virtuous than others right? Also, the success apps like tiktok and instagram does suggest addiction …

It's a while back, but I think it's because you have to be a resident for at least 6 months to be eligible to getting a driver's license in a given country. And getting the driving…

Hong Kong food is rice-based and rice is cheap! Here's some famous advice from Hong Kong's richest man: -- A daily breakfast of vermicelli, an egg and a cup of milk. For lunch just…

Thank you! 1. That would have been a great option had there been one close to the university! Proximity was a top criteria because commute is expensive money-wise and time-wise. Al…

You're both right. It was 10 years ago and my living requirements definitely were low Another reason is that Hong Kong has a lot more affordable housing in the outskirts, like in t…

You're right that this situation was very privileged. But there's not such thing as a "real homeless", it's a continuum. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44215698 Also, virtual…

Author here. I get this view, I just think it's worth underlining how biased it is to the SF Bay area dystopian situation. I've actually gone out of my way to meet homeless in the …

That’s another huge plus yes! I made a point of never bringing my laptop and turning off data on my phone before going every night. Hard to quantify how much of a difference this m…

You're right that I was arguably irrationally attached to not ending uni with too much debt. For the rest, I'm with you it might be hard to replicate beyond this n = 1 sample, but …

Glad you liked this! It was so great I've been meaning to do this again for years but never made the leap by fear of being a nuisance. I honestly think everyone would be much happi…

Yes exactly! It’s UST. Beautiful view :)

So sorry you had to spend time changing the title! Learning the lesson for next time.

Makes sense. Thanks for sharing! Looks like it might have to do with the title, or at least the title was changed before it got unflagged. Good learning!
