The simpler and I think correct conclusion is that the LLM simply does not reason in our sense of the word. It mimics the reasoning pattern and try to get it right but could not.

Such ideas generally interfere with usability. I loath any such automations. Some more examples: the menu changes when the mouse hovers over the item; the window size or position c…

Fourier basis is unique in that the complex exponential basis functions are the eigen vectors of the linear time invariant (LTI) systems. No other transform has this property. Many…

The set of unix utilities have been tested a long time. I just wish the kernel and key utilities keeps fixed and not changed. Unless absolutely necessary. Don’t fix it if it ain’t …

I use DDC and synergy. So no hardware. It is mostly working OK.

Excellent illustration. After reading it I thought this looks like the PHD style. And I checked the author, who IS Jorge Cham. About 22 years ago I was reading his Piled higher and…

Is this the reason modern apps like Mozilla are so slow? Basically OS memory movement is the bottle neck?

Vi was designed for very slow connections, maybe 300 symbols per second. As such it needed to minimize the keys needed to accomplish a task and maximize user friendliness within su…

Last time I checked I disliked the size of search index folders and files. So I am sticking to mairix, which integrates well with mutt and is small and fast.

You are right. Would it be possible to add closure use as another case?

Correct. The “static analysis” section says that it is impossible to catch all cases where address is used which is true. However if the analysis checks for whether address is TAKE…

If I understand correctly the fix requires the new code to add a line in go.mod to use the new behavior. This is about the same as adding x:=x in the loop, and more hidden. Not goo…

Are there open data for this type of research? If someone would like to improve their algorithms.

I have not met him but have used his LetsEncrypt service. I felt thankful for existence of such service. RIP.

I think the reason Vi wins even at infinite terminal speed is that it minimizes the things you need to type to express what you want to achieve/edit to computer. This was motivated…

The discussion is mostly about features of teleconference software which is completely off topic. The point of the article is security. I am not sure if Zoom INTENTIONALLY left the…

Does it fit page correctly according to each page size, rather than the max page size? This is one bug in zathura that bothers me.

On a related topic, for Office365 cloud-mdir-sync is useful because IMAP may not be supported.

I learned how to ride a bike when a young kid sticking one leg inside the triangle frame of the large adult bike. Kind of dangerous now looking back but I still remember the libera…

This actually should be the way codes are written. This is how we reason about codes in our minds.

I suppose the data was an average. If only considering the big cities the ration would be much higher then (even worse).

Modern software are just ridiculously hungry for memory that even many GB is not enough. This is just bad considering that we used to work with only GB of disk. I wish all software…

mbsync tends to be more efficient and robust. With Gmail it has no problems. With outlook IMAP it has problems with some emails occasionally. I haven’t figured out how to sync Mail…

This is possible with mbsync. Take a look at Archlinux wiki page for mbsync.

This is so inspiring. I am a professor and an engineer. But still I think about physics and still hope to be a physicist.
