You keep saying that major models have "tool calling built in". And that by giving them context about available APIs, the LLM can "use the API". But you don't explain, in any of yo…

Rooting your LG TV allows you to install homebrew apps. If you have a device that's at least a couple of years old and has not had its firmware updated, try https://rootmy.tv/

Microsoft also last year released their own Redis-client-compatible key-value store, Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

Human recall failure. Probably wanted "seemingly", "apparently", or even "ostensibly", but who's got time for all that when the publish button's right there.

I remember installing the TCP/IP stack from a treasured special floppy onto win 3.11 machines (giving them RIPE addresses and using NT4 as a router to expose the entire network ont…

Meta has just released another in a series of extraordinary models that are already being abused to flood the crawlable web with regurgitated generative uncanny-valley material. Si…

Do you mean Danish audio description in Danish and English subtitles?

It’s not elegant, but the term is evolutionary mismatch.

Perhaps think instead of human skin as a wretched slimy substrate on which poor, determined fungi have to somehow eke an existence.

This approach was what we had to use back in the late 90s. We called it "iframe streaming", or "forever iframe" (and years later, as an industry term emerged, "comet"). It worked s…

Approximately 1.11%. Certificates issued by LetsEncrypt (the CA for this certificate) are valid for 90 days. Most users automate their renewal.

Hi HN, For those using the free ChatGPT web UI, I've made a free browser extension/addon that will allow you to maintain and switch between multiple custom instruction sets, so you…

If the speculation that the board want to open up everything so that it is truly open/public domain "for the benefit of humanity" turns out to be accurate, I can't see Microsoft be…

Wow - just tried this and struck gold on the very first amateurish-looking GPT-wrapper iOS app I tested.

Lovely stuff. Now someone please use this in a Bioshock-like adventure based in London's semi-apocalyptic west end.

Tesla unilaterally decided to push out a refactored UI to my old Model S a few months ago, changing the location of numerous functions to new sub-menu paths, and rendering years of…

Would be great to have a CDN-based JS distribution for those who want to play without the heartache of JS build systems (npm/yarn/webpack/etc).

I look forward to a next generation LLM being further trained on the entire contents of sci-hub.

A few years ago I built some tools https://github.com/tf318/tamtools to store alignments against two different reference assemblies in an efficient way (taking advantage of the fac…

Equivalently, the energy used to train GPT-3 was the same as the energy consumed by Bitcoin in just four minutes.

Am pretty sure a better answer than any of these would be: Randomly choose *40* more students from this year’s freshman class and email them the questionnaire.

It is odd that as late as April 1994 the info service was migrated to gopher instead of http. By that time, most of the colleges had their own websites up and running. Students the…

Reading this article in a Copenhagen street. Houses built in the 1700s, and are a rich orange. Every car parked in the street is monochrome: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSUWOgsnoA…

Fewest is the correct word. There is no subjectivity about it. They could have said (albeit hideously): "The routes with the least change". In this case, change is an uncountable n…

It’s entirely unnecessary. The data is updated too infrequently to justify anything like this. I built a one-pager vanilla JS site that polls the official Johns Hopkins aggregated …
