I think he’s more like a broken clock that is still right twice a day… I’ve seen too many solar panels installed on the north side of a house, under a tree.

I’ve always wondered if there is a hidden system prompt or perhaps direct tuning of the weights. A lot of human written literature is fairly concise. Yet LLM responses seem overly …

Should also add disk space to the requirement list. People will be shocked when they realize word didn’t require gigabytes…

Weren’t electronic health records supposed to solve this problem almost 20 years ago? I would have figured there would have been a massive financial interest in providers not havin…

How does this actually work in practice? I suppose altering instruction count or size still dooms the executable to become non-functional? Or do all absolute & relative code & data…

Nice writeup! Only needs a Rick Astley QR code (;->

Just convince the auto industry to use USB cables for electric car charging! My desktop “server” with two 4K monitors doesn’t even reach 240W !

If only McDonalds charges $20 for a burger instead of $10, people will go elsewhere. If everyone charges $20 for a burger, people will still go to McDonalds. In such a state, no in…

Name one thing cheaper than it was 6 years ago…

Hasn’t Ken Shirriff been doing this for quite a while? (:->

Silly question but how does a 4m aperture focused onto a smaller area not concentrate the heat and melt the instruments?

I’ve always wondered how hard it’s logging/uploading data for autocomplete/spellcheck…

Managing a single commodity device is pretty simple. Could even be a shell script with a few IPMI commands. Managing 100s of devices from a mix of vendors is possible becomes itsel…

There has to have been more going on, it sure doesn’t add up - unless Ebay was run by a group of cruel Kindergarteners.. At every place I’ve worked, the employees likely had worse …

I don’t get it. Were there revisions or optional features of v1.2? I thought the 1.2 spec was the frozen spec.

I suspect they were thrilled at the prospect of a better made product (not encumbered by historical baggage) that cost less, had a lower friction sales process, made by a company a…

Wonder if the subconscious could simply be another LLM with a higher temperature setting… Have long thought that creativity is little more than a finely tuned filter driven by nois…

Oil paint would be a bit more controversial if it painted the picture all by itself…

I’ve seen this too and it’s darkly humorous. We published 1-2 releases of our component each month. Eventually another (internal) team would pick it up along with others, test, and…

At some point, it becomes hard to assert “we are NOT going to test the product the way a customer would actually use it”

Imagine paying $100/year for the privilege of running homemade software on your desktop computer… Aside from Apple, running homemade software on a phone was free of cost, even back…

Quite true. Our own individual ancestors were not perfect people. But we only exist today because they survived.

Wow, never considered the possibility of a “flood” mode for traceroute. This is hilarious !

Or an exceedingly rare random bit flip very subtly altered the simulated physics behavior…
