I can think of some other equally popular but far more profitable plants in Cannabaceae family, I wonder if they enjoy the same conditions.

I'm a Wolfram-skeptic, but I liked this article. I'd never considered the islands-surrounded-by-fuzz before, but it makes me wonder a few questions - is there a programmatic way to identify the "islands" (without using a

I guess my objection - besides the tedious style - isn't that it's incorrect, but that it's _bad_. I find it deeply unnerving when corporations act like people. I don't want to have a "conversation" with a comp

Personally, I can't believe I ever fell for this bullshit, but it is nice to remember the optimistic feelings I had during that era. Now, I am a cynic, and that I ever thought "markets are conversations" was a profound idea a

I remember implementing this a long, long time ago for that purpose. It was a novelty then, didn't know it was still being used. https://github.com/Miserlou/OnionChat

I think he _hopes_, but doesn't believe. The actual papers around this project don't mention aliens (but they're ever-so-slightly hinted at, if you read between the lines). They treat it like an interesting metallic meteorite

Dang, this is awesome. Now I'm going to have to spend an hour trying to find the tune that's been stuck in my head since 2004.

I thought I knew functional programming from knowing Python, but looking back I didn't really "grok" it until I moved to Elixir. Now I like it and prefer it. I don't run into any of the types of bugs I used to create in

This is a cool and simple technique, it seems like the sort of thing that should have been discovered 50 years ago. Not only is it more cycle efficient, the lines are more stable in animation, which to me seems like the primary benefit. Ama

The idea of a superintelligence becoming a bond villain via freelance software jobs (or, let's be honest, OnlyFans scamming) is not something I consider an existential threat. I can't find it anything other than laughable. It&#x27

Can anybody who really believes this apocalyptic stuff send me in the direction of a convincing _argument_ that this is actually a concern? I'm willing to listen, but I haven't read anything that tries to actually convince the rea

Some, but most plant growth is nitrogen limited, not CO2 limited.

Yes, but a quick search suggests it was used at the turn of the century as a way for academics to say "porn on the internet", which isn't really what I'm talking about.

I am not worried about an evil, monstrous AGI suddenly emerging and blowing away humanity, but I do worry about things like this. Hyperpornography seems a squarely apocalyptic trend.

I've got access, it's _blazing_ fast and seems very good. Solved some of my little puzzles that other models couldn't. I haven't tried ChatGPT-4 yet, but it's the best one that I have used.

In the README they even call it "Modified MIT", the modification being where they turned it from a very permissive license into a fully proprietary one. Very cool model though.

From a discussion with a friend today.. Are embeddings a hack? Is building out tooling and databases and APIs and companies around embeddings all going to be for naught as soon as there's a solid LLM/API with a big enough context
