    Not that kind of predict. And this reverse-time brain instantly forgets things it saw for the last time. Consider a black box. A person opens it, sees a dice with a number, closes …

    If you consider a person, their brain in particular, flowing backwards in time, the brain becomes a prediction tool. Events-memories (neural connections) appear out of nowhere (fro…

    I didn't read the top level comment as dismissive or 'proving it wrong', but rather as adding context, or even being humorous somewhat

    As with evertything, there's always nuance. If everyone followed similar midset to the comment you were replying to, likely llm generated pr issues wouldn't be as much of a problem…

    What you're saying should make sense. However: 32gb ram no pagefile: crashes 28gb + 2gb ramdisk pagefile: no crashes at all

    No, the question is 30gb + 2gb ram swap vs 30gb + 2gb ssd swap

    So in the described scenario, what advantage does an ssd-backed pagefile has over a ramdisk-backed one? Assuming the same sizes. Because the common recommendation is "you need at l…

    I share the sentiment. I would add that people I would like to see use LLMs for coding (and other technical purposes) tend to be jaded like you, and people I personally wouldn't wa…
