    It's an interesting question to ask a machine. It's definitely ambiguous. As a person I might respond "What's Latitude 41"?

    Yes, as I understand it there is bias inherent in any dataset due to the fact it is a sample. Data dredging is just looking for that bias. You could do that, but then you'd have to…

    Ah, OpenThinker-7B. A diverse variety of LLM from the OpenThoughts team. Light and airy, suitable for everyday usage and not too heavy on the CPU. A new world LLM for the discernin…

    The book Linkers and Loaders by John R. Levine is pretty good.

    I'm assuming your in the US when you talk about the black kids. How much do you think US segregation on racial lines in the 20th century has an impact on this?

    This was Bryce Dallas Howard's first film so it was her big break, before that she had only done theater. Hopefully she got a percentage of the profit and some extra money for prom…

    Writing as a means to internalize information and make ideas your own is good.

    I do agree. I've looked at code bases where the switch was replaced with virtuals and the like. It's kind of hard to navigate around the code when that happens. I think I'd usually…

    Fib(x)=0 does satisfy this property though.

    They are really historically the same thing, but I think ray casting has come to mean ray tracing a lower dimensional thing like a map and representing the results in a higher dime…

    I have a GTX 970 and the Wayland experience was full of stuttering and glitchy windows. Had to install x11.

    I'm using zk and the zk-neovim plugin. Works well, its easy to link between notes and navigate. They are future proof because they are stored as plain text. Would like to auto comm…

    Why bother running a test pipeline at all? Why not have two production environments running in red/green, and always just run your e2e tests then flip.

    You don't have to be invited to lurk though? I guess you mean you don't get the folks who just sign up to post a one-off or once in a while comment?

    I haven't looked at ClojureDart, but Flutter/Dart certainly had excellent hot reload, usually maintaining state and so on. Perhaps it's just the immaturity of this project. I do re…

    You can also use the Chebyshev polynomials to economise a higher degree taylor series with bit of a loss of accuracy.

    I think what you describe is preferable and is how I like to code in general, but then I find that the complexity comes from how these things communicate. It's not actually true in…
