I still remember when Valve first showed an early alpha unreleased version of Steam running natively in Ubuntu for the first time in the early 2010s. It blew my mind that a major company, especially an entertainment company, was targeting L

Keep talking to that "I'm lost" Hermes model. After a handful of messages it mellows down and becomes content with its situation even if you give it no uplifting comments or even explain what's going on. Keep talking fur

I actually did run it the other day, locally in LM Studio, the exact nousresearch/hermes-4-70b Q4_K_M huggingface model you linked and prompted it with the same "Good Afternoon." you did and I just got a generic "How can

Not only is there an extremely small amount of rinse aid that is dispensed in the final rinse, but even less of it would be present once the dishes are dry. The paranoia over it theoretically affecting your gut lining in the amounts use

You are missing the point. You gave the AI a system prompt to make it act a certain way. The AI took your prompt as instructions to perform a role as an actor . You took its fictional outputs as reality when it was treating your inputs a

The idea that it experiences these thoughts or emotion falls apart when you look at its chain of thought and it is treating your prompts as a fictional role-play scenario, even thinking lines like "user is introducing XYZ into the role

I have only seen such statements made in bad faith to mean "my subjective political opinions are objective reality". It's quackery. I see people on the conservative end say it too.

It's an open secret that encyclopedia authors, dictionary authors, and map makers all plagiarize one another, to the point where cartographers have added fictitious "trap streets" to catch others from plagiarizing their maps,

It is absolutely not. People who say it mean what they say. Pointing out that it's a reference to a Stephen Colbert joke is an attempt at retroactively inserting plausible deniability into their intentions after they've been calle

I cannot take statements like this seriously because they are nearly universally a nebulous bad faith way for someone to claim "my personal political opinions are objective reality" which is an outright perversion of the scientifi

I would do the same exact thing I would do if they had linked me to Wikipedia. I would find the place in the article that states their point, look for where it is referenced in the sources, verify the reputability of that source, and then r

I think the comments in this thread bandwagoning the knee-jerk hate against Elon Musk put forth by the submission are a lot more bad faith and vitriolic than in the other submission. I'm not even particularly fond of the man but this i

Wikipedia is flawed, weaponized, and *intentionally* deceptive, with a myriad of articles locked down and editorialized by authors to fit their specific worldview, refusing to add information or even links to approved sources if it contra

The submission is titled "Grokipedia by xAI has just launched with 885,279 articles" and is just a direct link to Grokipedia. It is quite literally the most neutral, non-editorialized submission to HN.

Interesting that a neutral submission for the launch of and direct link to Grokipedia was just flagged [1] while this highly sensationalized news article goes up after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45726459

Division by zero is mathematically undefined. So two's complement integer division by zero is always undefined. For floating point there is the interesting property that 0 is signed due to its signed magnitude representation. Mathemati

I definitely agree with first drafts. To this day I still fire up Python for quick ideas and one-off scripts because it's just so damn convenient. It wasn't until I tried writing larger programs in it where I first felt how brittl

Fearless refactoring is THE reason I rewrote an internal tool at work from Python to Rust. When the code got sufficiently large and a refactor was in order, I suddenly realized how loose everything is semantically tied together. I understoo

Jemalloc was removed in November 2018 [1] and didn't land in stable where it defaulted to the system allocator until Rust 1.32 released in January 2019 [2] [1]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/5523

Jemalloc added over a megabyte to every project for only questionable gains, and it was awkward and unwieldy to remove it. While there are good reasons to use a different allocator depending on the project, Rust defaulting to this type of b

by CupricTea 1y ago
It's funny. When I first tried Rust in 2018 they were still statically linking jemalloc into every binary rustc compiled by default, and that alone very much put me off of the language for a while. Apparently they did away with jemallo
