I'm pretty sure it's a lot more reasonable to use a fixed set of frequences and use the timezone for offset

Can we please do content addressing one day?

Air (or rather, nitrogen -- oxygen at that pressure is something you'd rather avoid) can be pressurised to that degree too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_pool

Different pros and cons -- SQLite is smaller is the big one

You know, I'm pretty sure post-slurping the text is still there...

There is also the deep magic... https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs

Would they ever have done so without a lifetime of listening to the music and culture of others?

Eh. On one hand -- phones are evil, and the world is no longer 2004. On the other hand, I would not be the same person if I didn't get that laptop.

Not if the datacenter itself is operating at the same internal pressure as the water around it

So I suppose I should have added a bit of a disclaimer: I genuinely believe free access to computation and information to be a human right; up there with the press 100 years ago. R…

Though no one cares, I feel compelled to put down my 2 cents. Such a "speed limit" is an unfathomably bad idea, in every way, and moreover is a violation of fundamental human right…

Thanks! Apologies about the tone -- I meant it as a syllogism, not a snark! I'll try to be clearer next time!

This explains a lot... I feel bad when I think about staying put. Forward always feels better . It's like one of the fundamental axes, I guess.

"Some 5 year olds could use a gourmet meal. Giving them a mass-produced TV dinner is no different than sedating them with opiates* and pouring garbage on them instead of being a pa…

I suppose there's nature -- i.e. physics -- and Nature, i.e. the false god of the status quo. These are not, in fact, the same thing. Small-n nature says (as best as I can tell) th…

I'll wear the dunce hat if I have to, but I don't want to be an animal . I am one, now, but I don't have to be one. I refuse to be limited by what is "naturally" possible -- my nat…

Controversial opinion: at the time, it was. To be able to live well now with much less of that may not have been possible without the sacrifices that came before.

The raw pretrained models make the errors, I believe -- we then reinforcement-learn them out.

a) yes it does b) it is literally trivial to buy a tiny RISC chip for a dew cents that can handle HTTPS just fine

Will you? That's only if both violins are tuned the same way, and one must continually tune them lest they get out of sync. Similarly, an LLM can be extremely consistent if tuned p…

To be fair: a voice, personality, and personal history sounds a lot like training data. I don't think LLMs are people in any sense, at least as they're constructed now -- but they …

Absolutely -- why on earth would I spend more time and effort than I have to? Now I can focus on the reason why I wanted to learn German in the first place, like appreciating Germa…

Ah yes... the exceedingly dangerous "Fallout New Vegas" trojan

Exactly! Think of how an image of a car and a car in front of you may look indistinguishable in 2D -- but due to your 3D vision you know they're not the same thing (but also know t…
