    Now we need to know from the people that experienced the laser how different this hallucination feels compared to that. Very cool stuff!

    Interesting. Development of the most powerful technology humans could ever hope to build, happening within our lifetimes, "boring".

    Linux and Chromium seem at the edge of the current scale of "ordinary" open-source software. I think perhaps one should also take into account how much money would be needed to be …

    To be fair if they released detailed instructions and datasets on how to rebuild llama (considering that there's some randomness in the process) you still probably wouldn't be able…

    Apparently I can find some matches for games that start like that between very strong players [1], so my hypothesis that the model may just be predicting bad moves on purpose seems…

    It's probably worth to play around with different prompts and different board positions. For context this [1] is the board position the model is being prompted on. There may be mor…

    Yes exactly, at some point I asked to maintain it and kinda redid it. Now I kinda consider it "done", as in "maybe some more work would be put into it, but by end large I don't thi…

    "modern websites" means IE11+ for cash, it's a fairly old library.

    Civet has so many quality of life improvements! It's good that it exists sort of as a playground for ideas that could maybe in the future be adopted by JS itself, kinda like how it…

    Closing hospitals would cut deaths in hospitals by 100%. Like I'm not sure what this measure means, it's not like 26% of people that would die in the hospital would be made immorta…

    Yeah this seems more like observables than signals. Which despite what you may hear on the interwebs are two different things.

    Comment #41444507

    This seems a bit different from the kind of signals frameworks have, where dependencies are tracked automatically (no dependency array), and you can sort of chain stuff automatical…

    Wait, so Flow is not actually sound and their website is lying? Or do they have some "technically correct" definition of "sound" that takes stuff like that into account?

    Enormous humanoid robots for everything! Have you ever watched one of those videos where somebody makes a mini concrete building in a few days? I'd be cool to just scale that up, i…

    I would guess that having 2 zeros is not that useful for NNs, but in general with 2 bits we could encode 4 states, so are there 4 possible states that would be useful to encode? Su…

    It seems tough to do, besides I'm not sure what the benefit would be, with that you can't do the optimized matrix multiplication anymore, and if you need more precision presumably …

    Yes but now in non-linux systems you have the pretty large overhead of that.

    These work with phones though, not _satellite_ phones.

    I haven't really kept track of everything. It may be worth making a blog post with the main findings though.

    Interesting how they say that compiled templates are ~21% faster to update, I wonder why. In theory pretty much anything that they could be doing at compile time could just be done…

    I mean they care to some degree, if they _really_ cared presumably everything would be compressed with zstd and served to the more modern npm-cli installations, and npm-cli would r…

    Funnily enough I've recently implemented [0] a little proof-of-work generator (or more specifically a time-lock puzzle [1] generator), which is the base building block on top which…
