Similarly, I will never understand Central Park in New York City. I was there a couple years ago and the vast majority of the grass is not meant to be walked on. Most of the paths have a little mini fences surrounding them and there’s tons

Whatever happened to ironpython? I used to do a lot of C# development and remember dabbling with ironpython back in the day. It seemed like it was important to Microsoft, .Net added the whole concept of dynamic data types mostly to support

What's the best way to run inference on the 70B model as an API? Most of the hosted APIs including HuggingFace seem to not work out of the box for models that large, and I'd rather not have to manage my own GPU server.

My understanding from asking several people, since I hate discord and want to know why people insist on using it, is that it’s a free alternative to Slack. Simple as that. But it’s crazy, people are aggressive about Discord for some reason.

Yelp started doing this years ago. They slowly cut access to their mobile site that used to work perfectly well. Sure I could install the app, but the obvious disrespect to the user pretending that the mobile site didn’t work perfectly well

The keynote says you will set your own design which other people will see you when you call them. So it’s not based on the contact photo you have saved in your phone for someone, it’s based on the information they set to be shared with you.

They claim this new version has a fancy transformer-based text production model. Assuming that same engine powers swipe prediction, we might finally see an improvement here. Here’s to hoping. Voice dictation has also gotten worse over the p

According to [1] on the accompanying blog post, this brings the Whisper 44.3 WER down to 18.7, although it’s unclear to me how much better this is at primarily English speech recognition. I’d love to see a full comparison of accuracy improv

The original iPhone was cheaper than iPhones are today, but it was ridiculously expensive compared to every other phone on the market including smartphones. It was $800 after the carrier subsidy with a two-year contract. Most windows phones

If you actually check, they do offer subscriptions in the app. I just downloaded it and checked it out myself. Click the … icon, then Settings, then “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus”. It’s the same price point as if you buy directly from OpenAI, b

Two spaces is less tokens, might actually be a good thing overall to limit token usage so you can fit more code in the context window. It’s easy enough to have your IDE convert it to your preferred format after generation. But I am a diehar

Unfortunately having uncapped gigabit Internet isn’t an option for most people. I would gladly pay for that if I could. But I’m stuck with Comcast. I’ve lived in 4 different cities in the last decade and I’ve always been stuck with Comcast.

Beyond that, boutique hotels are often substantially more expensive when you book directly. Which is weird, because you think it would be cheaper since they’re not paying the affiliate booking fees. But no, even if you call them directly or

Siri hard codes this afternoon to mean literally right after 12 PM. So if at 1pm you ask it to remind you to do something this afternoon, it will put it at 12:00pm the following day. I just double checked it right now. It’s currently 12:18
