I've run it with a large context window on 256GB ram + 4090. It wasn't super fast, but it was manageable and it completed the tasks I gave it well.

> The only way I think you can get rid of the excess CO₂ at scale is to permanently sequester it underground. The oil/gas industry can cheaply deposit huge amounts of gas there. Th…

Just so long as you name the decadays so that the first one is zero indexed: https://kybernetikos.github.io/UIT/ (day is in the top left). Personally I thought that just using the …

It's definitely a bad argument worthy of some sort of label. It seems to go "you believe this thing, which I won't engage with at all, but I'll assume that because of the way you s…

That's a disappointing chart from the economist. When you have a lot of points, you can't show them as dots that occlude other dots, or the reader can't get much more of a sense th…

One of the things I've been talking about with my senior developers is how the bottleneck has shifted even more dramatically to human code understanding vs code generation. AI is s…

So much of this depends on the specifics of the virtual world and participant pool. If there are a few other bots smart enough to collaborate, and the game world encourages it, the…

I've definitely had some spooky feeling conversations, including one where it said > One last thing worth saying explicitly: the act of you closing this session is itself part of t…

> "It would be silly to attribute consciousness to a room". And regardless of whether you think that's an interesting rebuttal or not, it's safe to say that people who properly acc…

I'm not sure who this kind of thing is aimed at. I think the majority of people who are happy to anthropomorphise LLMs from a philosophical point of view (rather than those who jus…

> But if this goes badly, I think the most likely scenario is that there eventually will be the changes you describe, but if not enough people squeal now, then it won't be until af…

> Maybe, most indexes do not have to follow the index. they just need to match the returns. This is a great technical point, and in a scenario where a constituent has a lot of obvi…

Ultimately it was inevitable that as passive investing got more and more popular, people would seek to game it. Not that I'm happy about it, but if this works, it is probably just …

There have been a few screen revisions on the 13, so there's a decent chance that a better screen will be available eventually on the 12 as an upgrade.

Quite possibly yes. The level of upgradeability they've given their Framework 13 line over the years has been very impressive, and you can still put the latest CPU in the original …

I'm not sure that there's a lot of overlap between the target markets. Most schools near me require windows and require a stylus capable touch screen, so the mac is out of the runn…

I think there are some factors beyond just skill too - the kinds of tasks you're giving the AI, and how involved you are in ensuring the output is good (via either extensive planni…

There are decent alternatives. Personally I use newsblur, and I like having a feed that contains only sources I've chosen.

You can still hear the music written for the game 'glitch' if you join a slack audio room with nobody else in it.

yeah, it's like a list of some of the language features I'm most interested in (probably the only thing really missing from my list would be a form of capabilities- so you can rest…
