    Ah, I thought it was opt-out and hidden by default now. (For new accounts, that is)

    It's a good idea. But this would no longer work now that Reddit hides post history, right? Or does the API still provide a user's post history? You'd basically need to be pulling a…

    How did you manage to uncover the operation? Is there any things that tipped you off? Is it like, accounts only posting on a precise subset of subs, or how much a network of accoun…

    I think he must have sworn off any v3 after MS-DOSv3.

    It's also a pretty silly thing to say difficulty = tokens. We all know line counts don't tell you much, and it shows in their own example. Even if you did have Math-like tokenisati…

    Is this sarcasm? Not that Trump's word means anything, but Trump has been against it since his first term. Having cancelled it temporarily in that first term, has said that he'll e…

    Could do something funky like convert it to grayscale, add a 4th "colour" channel and put the grayscale image it that

    What are the quotes? I don't understand, some of them are just a single word like "Art", "Autoimmune", "Cartoons"; or innocuous phrases with no context. What am I supposed to under…

    The first two talks are in the "Ethics, Society & Politics" category, and the third in the "Art & Beauty" category. Why would they need to be about computing? It's a big organisati…

    No I don't think it's the bits. I would say it's the computation. Inference requires performing a lot of matmul, and with more tokens the number of computation operations increases…

    What do you mean? Is mRNA not used to produce the enzyme that these comments mentioned? I don't think they were saying mRNA is gene editing itself. Just commenting on a modified mR…

    Japan's WWII history is uniquely bad but they don't learn about it. Can threaten authors with treason for negative books like he did in an EO recently. Change school curriculums. T…

    Thank goodness the alternative media is bound by the fairness doctrine and don't choose how to cover a story, or if at all, and not incentived to reinforce their audience's beliefs…

    "without a valid reason" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Not only would this idea be impractical and highly subjective, determining what a valid reason is, is the same proble…

    I'm interested for this reason too, even listened to AI TTS books before, but the issue is that they are very monotonous. The tone almost never changes, nor the pacing, it's all de…

    Thanks! Design decisions in terms of backend architecture or the code or frontend design? One big one would be to offload many of the functions from the server to the client. I thi…

    Thanks! I took a lot of inspiration from bananagrams. Good luck tomorrow!

    Show HN: Crossing The Lexicon, a fun Wordle-inspired daily word game

    I'm excited (and a fair bit nervous) to share my new game! I'd been thinking about this project for a while and decided to embark on what I thought would be a quick weekend side pr…

    I'm sure there's a reason, but it seems like an unusual use of Monte Carlo - it's all deterministic and there is no opposing player making choices. Must have something to do with u…

    Wouldn't it be easier to cutoff pre-2020-ish, and ask it to create the transformer architecture of gpt? 1900 is so long ago I doubt most documents are good quality if they've been …

    The main reason LLMs weren't a thing 25 years ago is because they weren't invented yet, or many of the prior steps. And if they had been, we didn't have the compute create them.

    You don't remember the first episodes of Squid Game then - it's very clearly explained to you. The main character has a gambling problem, lost his job and has taken money from loan…

    What do you mean by "on" rice? On the living plant? Or you mean it's growing in a jar of rice? A bioluminescent wood nightlight sounds amazing, surely someone sells them
