As a diver, if you jump into moderately warm water (the Great Barrier Reef for instance), that won't save you either. Mine overheats and dies after 15-20 minutes. It took diving ne…

You might have to mess around with the software to figure out the details, but from a hardware perspective a hall effect keyboard should be at least able to infer the speed a key i…

There are a great many of them, you just can't see them in the dark forest. https://www.paradigm.xyz/2020/08/ethereum-is-a-dark-forest

Hey, Replit employee here. I'm pretty sure this isn't us (definitely isn't our marketing team's MO AFAIK). Can you email me some examples at james @ replit dot com so I can look in…

It reduces the degree of regressive, but as long as lower-income people spend any money at all on nonexempt goods it will never make it neutral.

GST and VAT are the same thing, different countries just call them different things. As an example, GST in Australia is in the price on the shelf. You can also claim back the GST y…

FWIW, I had the same issue with my 3090 (though I believe that uses a slightly different port?). I was using a custom cable like this guy. Nvidia replaced it under warranty, and I …

> they are assistants. They aren’t inventors or prognosticators. They cannot predict how the market will react to a product or idea. Can you?

TLDR: If he buys a car a year, and drives the same number of miles as the average American, his total emissions are probably equal to someone who drives 28k miles a year. Carbon em…

A lot of analysis is done using CSVs being pushed in and out of Excel. Doing so strips the formatting. Please understand the workflows being crying “skill issue”.

The model they use (BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5) produces embeddings 384 wide, at float32 that equals 1536 bytes each. The size of all the vectors for 100 items is 153kb. Calculating th…

That is exactly how one-pedal driving in a Tesla works!

The function you pass in can keep track of how many times it’s been called, and provide different values on each call.

This is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's website (the Australian national broadcaster a la the BBC). As a whole coverage is pretty good, but the website has gotten more cl…

CDK for Terraform ( https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cdktf ) is the best of both worlds. We've been using it at Replit with great success.

We actually announced that Ghostwriter is now free for all users last week: https://blog.replit.com/ai4all . The free tier is using a smaller model for chat than the paid version f…

Apple left for TSMC, not to do in-house chip fabrication.

That isn't what is being described here. They are just providing additional context to ChatGPT using its plugin API. It's still trained on large amounts of public text data.

I'd say it's more "doesn't bother to tread" rather than "doesn't dare to tread". There probably is not a lot below 1.5km that would be of much interest to the US Navy.

GPTs are not trained on themselves, and what little knowledge they have of their own capabilities is limited to the discussion of it in their training set. This is a hallucination.…

This is most likely lawyer CYA, rather than any real attempt to stop kids from playing games. Is it absurd? Yes. Is anyone going to have any issues with it? No.

LLMs being bad at math is a known issue, but what they are good at is writing programs. For example: >>> Write a program that calculates if 120 is greater than 0.7. >Sure, here's a…

Immigrants subsidize the citizenry. They pay enormous amounts of taxes, and consume no welfare.

By that logic babies are bad for workers, they grow up and take their jobs! Except that is obviously ridiculous, because people on visas induce their own demand in the local econom…
