Non composita legio heroum. Heroes sunt quos legio necat. (Please tell me how I'm butchering my Latin here, still learning!) Yeah, I get nothing from a quick search too. I wouldn't even think to know who would have said something

I'd take any subreddit's population with a cubic meter sized solid salt crystal. It's just like all the stories that are a wall of text without a TLDR at the bottom; you know they're totally made up entertainment.

Oh man, I can't remember the exact quote but it went something like: "Silicon Valley is just making companies that do for you now what your mom used to" With AI rom-bots, it's not exactly that, but that feeling of bein

But then they would just have to make a list of each year's CPI basket and it's changes, and then have to calculate that going forward for forever. Like, the differences in the 1991 basket to the 1992 basket are pretty small (plea

Pro tip for any spouses out there on that first night in the hospital: Tell the nurses to screw off if baby and mom are doing fine. We had a similar issue in that they would come around every hour and do 45 minutes of testing. Let mom and b

Time out. You're dinging people for being too long ? I mean, what are your metrics for a cover letter then?

Aside: Mr. Beast's shtick is both genius and so dumb to me. Like, the entire premise of his videos is money-money-money. I mean, of course he's going to get some views with that formula. And yeah, I know he really does have a go

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad to hear you are healing in your own way though. I'll make sure to hug my own extra hard tonight.

This is HN, so I think I can be pedantic without reservation here. In Rober's video the drone is not any less loud, it's just that the power in each frequency is smoothed out. In that, the total power is the same, just now more ev

Given what they have been doing in Rwanda with blood delivery, yeah, I do think they have something going here. The tech is 'mostly' proven to me. The question is one of scale and usage.

Man, this would be so good for the US to implement. The exact tax details and how money is exactly moved around are, of course, the devil in the details. But, forget all those very important but very arduous details for a minute, and just i

We finally became real adults the other year, in that we were hosting a big Thanksgiving at our own place. When we pulled out all the fine china that we'd been handed down we found that we were going to be short some table settings. We

Consumer of LLMs for a F500 here. We know it's all hype (We do the same to our customers too, by the by). The LLMs still give us huge savings and (hopefully soon) some advantages in the marketplace. 15x time savings seems common. Our c

Adding my memories: My little brother woke me up that morning. Said that the Twin Towers were falling down. It was just the start of my sophomore year in high school in the SF Bay area. My first real indication that everything was going bad

For fiction writing, all of them work more or less the same. The trick to get the AI to produce more iteratable content is to use a really long prompt. The more specific you can be, the better. So, don't say 'in the style of Hemin

I use these various AIs for fiction writing. I think Margaret misses some of their utility. You would never just squeeze out a novel with AIs as they currently stand. They are far too primitive and the context window if far too small right

Even at ~1/4th caf as my once daily cup, I still got ~3 days of headaches when I finally quit entirely. After that, I slept much better. I could finally fall asleep, it wouldn't take me an hour to nod off. I stayed asleep, I wasn&

Problem's that Elon ain't trustworthy. Sure, verified users today, but next week? I mean, the guy lies like ducks quack. How long has the cyber truck been a year away from purchase now? His reputation is garbage.

I'll chime in here too. I gave up caffeine on a lark during lockdowns. Man, great decision. I've never slept better and my anxiety went way down too. I'd had no idea what that stimulant happened to be doing to my system. I ha
