    I think they mean it like this: imagine you ask me a random number sequence. I give you a random number sequence. Little did you know, I used a very specific PRNG to generate it, s…

    LLMs can be very good at 2. Finding the best architecture, data structures, algorithms, looking on arXiv to see other ways to solve the problem, etc. You have to work in design mod…

    What do you mean you don't remember, your repo is from 8 months ago, this release is from 18 hours ago. And how does "Gemini couldn't get it to work" translate to "it's broken"? It…

    It's used by most users, that's what they are saying, it doesn't matter that the file format is obscure. If you make a video player based on ffmpeg you take input videos. The attac…

    Just a point about precision, Google Maps fire overlay is based on NASA Firms + some processing, and it's not perfectly accurate. It is currently marking my little town as under fi…

    How interesting I was just reading yesterday his paper "An enduring error" about how we have been miscounting the Archimedean solids for two thousand years. But also, for this conj…

    I thought an industry standard was to use proxy files. Open source editor Shotcut use them for example. Create a low resolution + intra-frame only version of the file for very fast…

    This is the worst to me. It happened to me a few times already. Someone says or writes something wrong. You correct them. They get defensive and justify the error by saying it's wh…

    Social aspect. There is no need but it's more fun to spend the end of the Universe with other intelligences than each in its own place.

    It is counter intuitive but information can still travel between places that are so distant that expansion between them is faster than the speed of light. It's just extremely slow …

    Already a big problem in art, people go on witch hunt over what they think are signs of AI use. It's sad because people that are ok with AI art are still enjoying the human art jus…

    Hurting the enemy is intentional and thus has an implicit "gain" built into it, even if it's just psychological. The physical losses can be deemed acceptable because of it, if the …

    You can change sync settings on a per-profile basis. I have 6 profiles, 4 of which I synchronize between different computers. They use different sync accounts. So for example on my…

    For me that's how it works unless I already have a Firefox window opened. If I have multiple windows of different profiles already open (which happens all the time) it may add it t…

    I do it all the time I'm not sure what you are talking about. I use Tree Style Tabs extension (obviously), so maybe the feature is coming from there? You can definitely drag and dr…

    I've been using profiles for 15 years and I didn't even know it was in about:config . Just add -p in your shortcut to start on the profile manager.
