I think the builders of the past would be amazed by modern technology like argon filled double paned windows with advanced window films to reflect the heat instead of letting it in. But yes, let's bring back the awnings too. Sometimes

I never said that there isn't need of any further study into LLM's. What I did say is that doing a study in which in which the results are skewed by avoiding using one of the most fundamental best practices for interacting with LL

The problem is that they did both, and then in their analysis of the results they do not distinguish between the results from a shared chat context, vs the results from isolated, independent chat sessions. This allows them to cherry pick th

You don't need a study to find this out, you just need basic competence and knowledge of how LLM's work. A study to discover that previous content still in context window influences future answers, including causing hallucinations

Did you even read the article before commenting? This article is about a low tech solution: just a basic trough carved into the sidewalk so that the charging cable can go through the trough rather than hanging in the air or laying across th

You are correct, the nondualism prevalent in Eastern thinking is not mutually exclusive with wanton disregard of nature. I'm just suggesting that this idea of "intrinsically valuing nature means devaluing the human" requires

Perhaps the author plans to develop the core argument better in subsequent chapters but I find this weak so far. I think my issue with the core thoughts of this piece can be summed up in this statement from the article: > To place intrin

In this case the "greening" is not mutually exclusive with "Mad Max". One of the major points of the article is that the greening arid areas are also highly vulnerable to brush fires. CO2 is captured temporarily but then

Generative AI chat is incredibly useful for learning, especially tasks that require a lot of inline learning such as software engineering. I use generative AI chat constantly, because it is basically a Stack Overflow that is near instant wi

I'm mostly with you but "other incredibly stupid ideas, like e-scooters" just sounds like a personal vendetta to me. I don't see anything SV specific about e-scooters, not is it a dangerous bubble or stupid to use compac

Amazon employee here, seven years at the company so far. This is my personal opinion only: I don't know that there are many articles I've read about Amazon that have a balanced view. I will say that many people who are anti-Amazon

I think the way this is worded is deliberately misleading. It's worded as if she needed to actually reduce the costs in eight days, but it can also be read as "create a plan in just eight work days". And that should certainly

Yep very true. My guess would be that the feature was implemented by someone very new to this whole AI generated image thing. They had fun implementing it, but did not do a ton of deep research into how to implement it safely, with negative

Nah, it sounds like a simple latent space adjacency problem. When you give an image generation model the "swimming" keyword, that makes it much more likely to produce bathing suits and bikinis, and once it is already generating th

I have not used Jekyll, but I think it's important to note that VitePress is Vue specific. It's designed to be used with Vue components, and it's designed to produce a single page app where navigation happens client side (tho

There is that, but even without cache the Go code for Hugo is blazing fast compared with the the JS bundler for VitePress, sadly

by NathanKP 3y ago
Yep that's right. Every page has it's own statically rendered bundle. But if you have JS on then it can fetch a chunk and rerender the page client side as a SPA.

For me it's like my head has a large cluster of art that I've seen, all organized. It is the "memory palace" basically, if you've heard of that approach to memorizing things. Except my memory palace is very, very la

I'd bet it's this, plus something even stupider like hashing a connection timestamp millisecond as the "uniqueness" of the hash. I've seen a lot of terrible code implementations that assume that there will never be
