Didn’t Patrick McKenzie (patio11) do this already with appointment reminder?

A soundtrack so good they made three separate soundtracks. The last one was entirely music that wasn’t in the movie. Fantastic.

The 90s was a time when computers were doubling in speed every 18 months. I remember office 97* being lightning fast on. A 366mhz celeron - a cheap chip in 1998. You could build fa…

Obsolescence Guaranteed Is a good name for a replica retro computer store. If I ever retire and run a bar on the beach^w^w^w^w retro computer store, that’s what it’ll be called.

So what (if anything) is taking strangeloops’ place?

I’ll add when I say “learning” I mean memorization. Memorizing on a higher level than facts. I would love to spend the time and see how altering the query alters the reasoning path…

What I further got from this is the models are learning the methods, but not evaluating themselves along the way. They don’t check for errors. So once they go down a path they can’…

It's interesting that you note the unreliability. I always assumed tubes were unreliable, but thought anything solid state (even those card based systems) would be "reliable enough…
