    Yep, I need to compare the new models and update everything. Foolish of me to generate ahead at all!

    Fair points, thank you for the very thoughtful feedback! "Alexandrian who found area from mere sides" is a bad hint because it is fairly obscure, and really just a history trivia c…

    Show HN: Spelling Riddle – Think Spellbee with crossword clue and visual hint

    I wanted a daily spelling game that tested semantic knowledge rather than vocab, and a riddle game with both text and visual hints. So I combined them. Each day you get 9 letters a…

    Just a python script to render then api call with a prompt to check if the render looks right.

    I tried this a few months back with claude 3.5 writing cadquery code in cline, with render photos for feedback. I got it to model a few simple things like terraforming mars city fa…

    Yeah, I definitely see using this for literate programming. Not quite sure the best way to organize it. Maybe use a static site compiler to auto host documentation version.

    It was a stupid and shameful tweet. The thing that elevates this above a drunk tweet though are the "real life" postcards. Should we ignore the fact that the postcards seem very mu…

    It has been interesting seeing the sleuthing on this one. IMHO it is unfortunate to have this happen to a company that has been very pro open source.

    The link just changed. Why? The original was the verge article, that was frankly terrible. It really read like the author had a specific goal.

    Have you tried using ChatGPT to study? It's pretty incredible for learning, particularly interactive exploration. The point of this plugin is to give ChatGPT access to reliable inf…

    This is a shame as bing search api was much better documented, and supported (at least as of a few years ago). Google switched api specs and dropped features at an even faster rate…

    I feel like this headline is deceptive. This is a Jax reimplementation, and it was released a year ago. It is a cool library though. The basic operation of muzero is very simple, b…

    We can define intelligence in a very real, practical way now. We see and identify intelligence all the time in humans and in animals and in AI. We may not be perfect at identifying…

    Maybe that post has been edited into coherence, but when it was posted that summary was misleading or flat wrong about a lot of points.

    I've been using a modified version of lsteins fork since almost the beginning. Recommended! It does lack some of the features of eg automatic1111, but it has good cli, and actually…

    I agree that declaring a win is a bit impolite _if_ the other person hasn't agreed. But changing "farmer" to "robot farmer" because Google won't allow him to generate pictures with…

    The power of allowing everyone to make foundational types and functions that work together is indeed dangerous. I'm not sure you are better off in the even more dangerous waters of…

    How much did Sonos pay to get this article written? It's tripping over itself praising Sonos and repeating over and over that Google should pay Sonos.

    That last sounds wildly implausible. Are you saying they booby trap it to set off the high explosive if someone tampers with it (making it a booby trapped dirty bomb)? Because othe…
