It is a specific type of fasting. Saying only "fasting" can mean a lot of things, saying "water fast" means you only drink water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting

As others have hinted at LLMs aren't really made in a way that makes them likely to play video games (CS/Halo and such) well. I wonder how they'd fare "against" text based adventur…

Sometimes called "high instructional value".

I had some print or poster on my wall in my childhood bedroom in Stockholm. For sure no original but reproductions were, as I remember it, readily available when I grew up.

My previous work provided laptop had a touchscreen and I miss it (for the record, the screen didn't fold 180). It was useful about once a week and I completely forgot about it the …

Yep, old men yelling at "the cloud"!

> The Mona Lisa is a waste of canvas and oil - a hill I will die on Seems like Mona Lisa elicits an emotional response in you as a viewer ;) I get what you're saying though. I alwa…

I wonder about the the service used for the test, never heard of Rapidata but if it's like Amazons mechanical turk och other such services there might be a problem where the respon…

I fully admit that I only skimmed the abstract, but was reminded of an article in Wired about Sergey Brin and his "search for a parkinsson cure". https://www.wired.com/2010/06/ff-s…

There's two hard problems in programming. Naming things, cache invalidation and off by one errors.

Not sure what the selection bias for this report is, perhaps that we care about code and believe in the value of static code analysis. Some interesting results in there either way.…

They tried to find contraband, they found a marching band!

> We do not need more ways for people to be convinced of suicide. I am convinced (no evidence though) that current LLMs has prevented, possibly lots of, suicides. I don't know if a…

Totally agree, try to never be afraid or embarrassed of not knowing. https://xkcd.com/1053/

Interesting how counter intuitive it felt to scroll up from the "landing spot". Even with the instructions right there on the screen I tried scrolling down at first.

You might not have noticed but Microsoft has moving heavily into the open source world. Mind you, they're still a for profit company and you and I might not like everything they do…

This is a level of testing that exceeds what the testers I know commit to. I myself was annoyed the five or so times yesterday we had to sit and wait to check the error handling af…

I think it's quirky enough to be amusing, maybe even better that it's from "another" country. Pre internet age I worked in a store where one "unlucky" guy out of reflex asked the k…

Using well thought out interfaces is a joy wherever we find them. Something in your comment made me remember a DOS based file "explorer". Screen split down the middle with a folder…

I do like having access to stuff while doing similar stuff. Perhaps I'm just a little too lazy to learn that stuff while still getting paid to know other stuff. And I do have just …

This is impressive, but (and probably because I'm not the intended audience for this post) I don't get it, I kind of want to get it though. With "it" I mean making Emacs do X, wher…

I wonder if circular breathing would work, or works, for trombone. If so you could have held that note "forever" with some training.

Absolutely insane 3D camera tracking with free tools.
