> BMW's own PressClub release described the advertisement as a special surprise for drivers... That one got a chuckle out of me

Lots of nice features but the UX and UI are so painful that it's not worth jumping from the stock kobo reader for me. It's nice to have another option though and if the UX improves…

> As Fry says, the limit to someone's understanding is never their ability to understand. The limit is always in their motivation to care. And she sees her role as being to provide…

Hardly science fiction. I respect a lot of Simon's work, but his credibility gets chiseled away a bit each time he participates in these kinds of echo chamber posts that are basica…

Runs great on mobile!

I wonder how much of the annoying aspects of the podcasters can be controlled by the custom user instructions. I hate sitting through the patter of how "we're not political, just r…

Except for the prize committees outsourcing roughly the same sets of judges, they work a lot like how you’d expect. The judges pickup a bunch of books and choose the ones they like…

> Many other people, observing our current policy context, have also called out how smartphone and social media bans for young adults (and we are talking about that particular grou…

So this is the new hot take? That kids need unfettered access to smart phones and the internet to toughen them up? Absolutely cringe.

My opinion about how people use fireworks changed when I adopted a dog from a shelter and discovered how deeply traumatizing booms are to her. From chatting with other dog owners t…

In rural places where wildfire risks are very high, firework bans are usually enforced and respected.

M series macs are usually used for running these LLMs locally because the GPU and CPU share the same pool of RAM at very low latency. If you upgrade your RAM on a different kind of…

I suspect with those specs, you're not in the game right now for reliably using local models for code generation. The easiest way in is a MacBook with at least 32GB of RAM. This sh…

A very Economist answer to Ryan's question. So basically, no.

So many objects have their own networks now. With a clever SSID and placement in a room full of potential targets, it could be pretty tough for someone to narrow it down to the bul…

I couldn't help reading this article in the voice of Ted Flanders. It's such an insipid point and the writing is so bad. Not the writers fault, but when you find out he lives in Sw…

This is a good pattern because it would allow all the models to "think" a bit before giving an answer even if they don't have reasoning or thinking turn on. Just make sure you have…

Do you understand how problematic this is?

I think we can all agree that this experiment being flawed in multiple ways is TRUE. But I think it's a great exercise in identifying common mistakes people make when using LLMs. T…

Nice! Happy to see the site appearing as itself on the front page doesn't cause some crazy recursive crash :)

There are many applications. I mainly see it used for detecting drift in datasets for ML models. It has a nice benefit over the KL divergence in the case where the two distribution…
