Have you tried pdf reflow with koreader? I find it works pretty well

More training data and token lengths seem to help, given how GPT-4 scores better on a lot of standardized tests than 3 and 3.5 do. We don’t necessarily need to teach it not to lie,…

All of it due to having seen the answer, none of it due to reasoning, because it can’t reason

Definitely not. Electrek bought a LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) truck like this and it wasn’t. They’re unsafe for roads due to lack of many safety features

GitHub’s free code storage, static site hosting, etc. is compensation If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.

That would essentially be at will employment, our current system. “Stopping” at two years is an improvement from our current system because employment (or rather, a salary) would b…

This is a great idea for learning Go! I’ve been trying to pick it up recently and tried to do a CLI for indexing and searching through files. Reading PDFs is such a long hill to cl…

Great article! Enjoyed the argument but I have a few disagreements I disagree with the response to objection 1. Look for more than a few moments at the right side picture and the s…

I’m the same way, not picky as long as I can figure out where to click. I just did the reverse of KDE -> Gnome, I miss KDE here and there but I’ve been able to take the pieces I mi…

I gave an hour presentation on the basics of CSS to my department as a junior. Other asked how I learned it so quickly and where from. I just read MDN and W3 for like a month while…

A fire safe is not a fireproof safe either. Usually they are rated for up to X degrees (my personal one is 1400F) and the papers inside will start to combust around that temp.

> The MetaVerse is a rehash of the Sims (or any other networked RPG game you can pick with avatars) which has now been out for ages, Clubhouse was basically an Internet conference …

Interesting use case for an air tag. Say someone had a PO Box or mail forwarding service and you wanted to know where they live. Mail them an air tag!

The great British “baking show” or bake off, depending if pillsbury owns the trademark for bake off where you’re from.

In college I got the advice that if you couldn’t highlight text on your resume then a bot can’t read it and it might get thrown out. And if that might cause it why risk it? I think…

Go 50 miles away from your nearest city and look at the sky. There’s a ton of places people live that aren’t light polluted to a level acceptable for amateur astronomy.

What plastic did you use to 3D print it? Any worries about steam or other heat softening it over time?

Angular velocity of the edge of the plate is higher, so it is faster than the center. However this only applies to plates that have the same data density on the inside and outside …

Seems like he probably would have been caught either way, but would have costed and taken longer if he didn’t drop his VPN. Being one person in a closed room of people knowing abou…

Can’t imagine a large amount of the data scientists that worked for Meta would like to work for Facebook

I think they fall into more responsibility here because they’ve also designed it to be addictive. If Facebook was easier to quit, I’d hold individuals more accountable.
