I dig the spirit, but if I'm meant to understand it in an afternoon, why is it codegolfed to such an extent? It's like reading the output of a minifier, not idiomatic Go.

But that means it had to be a trend already to be overrepresented in the training corpus, right? Or was it just something the RLHF evaluators got a kick out of...

It's a menu with natural language search and potentially natural language form input.

Maybe even an off-the-shelf microlouver privacy screen protector?

Similarly, it blows my mind that all trees are made of air, specifically the carbon in it. I used to think that the biomass must come from the soil, but reality is more interesting…

It's doesn't have to be non-gaming purposes. Say you want to install something not sold on Steam like I dunno, World of Warcraft, or Minecraft.

That's a really cool connection, and even the Wikipedia article mentions the similarity to birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloton#Formations It doesn't mention V shapes, thou…

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Fenix 8 Solar is still MIPS but I can see why AMOLED is the "premium default" that they'd de-emphasize in their flagships. MIPS just shines less in the s…

> Garmin discontinuing their e-paper smartwatches Wait what? Do you have a source? I can't find anything about that, and I see the Instinct 3 is still being sold. Very disappointin…

Depends on personality I guess. That would be sooo unsatisfying to me. E.g. not wanting to accept that languages have exceptions "just because" is what got me interested in histori…

Do one thing and do it well, right?

Reminds me of the SCP-like article / short story about the first executable snapshot of a human brain, with similar horrors of realization. https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

At least for Nix itself, that's pretty much it except via Dutch. > The name Nix is derived from the Dutch word niks, meaning nothing; build actions do not see anything that has not…

I like https://viznut.fi/unscii/ - meant for ascii art but still works well in a terminal, and still gets unicode updates

Yup, that's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network It's the daydreaming/mind-wandering state that occurs when you're not focused on an external task. With all the s…

Specifically a clanker that itself would rather hallucinate something than say "I don't know".

It reminds me of how LLM hallucination is attributed to "I don't know" being underrepresented in training data, and it being a better strategy to guess on evaluations rather than a…

No FFN is blowing my mind. This is pretty much "Attention Is ACTUALLY All You Need". Reminds me of BERT Q&A which would return indices into the input context, but even that had a F…

Makes sense that the agent can refine its search terms/strategy based on discovered context. But it still has to enumerate synonyms to find things. I would assume it's very domain …

Looks and feels premium, but ultimately fundamentally disposable. This pattern extends to so many goods in modern life. Washing machines, microwaves, etc aren't worth the time of a…

Thanks for the perspective! I guess it depends on the outcomes in question If they're measured by traditional academic metrics (parsing, recalling declension tables, translating in…

If anyone is interested in learning it, there's nothing better than Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. It's entirely in Latin, including grammar explanations, but it starts …

Sure you can. defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 2 defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int 2 Replace write with …

Right and modulo agents, they're just describing event-driven architecture like Lambda.
