Yes, that's kinda obvious isn't it? And yet I haven't done it in over a year since they introduced the "paper and wood". Why? Because no one sells them where I could buy it in person, and it seems extremely wasteful

>To most people Propaganda is only things they don't believe. But if they believe something, its reality. Interesting. For me propaganda is simply any broadcast that has a hidden agenda. Propaganda can lie, it can tell the truth, or

Perhaps it is area dependent in UK. When I lived in the North I think access to toilets was a lot worse than down South. We went visiting to many tourist places like the east coast, Yorkshire moors, various historic places. All these trips

I second advice to focus on embedded systems, but I'd stay away from raspberry pi. I'd much prefer something you could debug easily from outside. There are plenty of arm chips one can debug with openocd and gdb. Sometimes being ab

Customisability is the biggest selling point of emacs. I tried it many years ago as a user of Visual Studio. This way way before LSPs became a thing. I decided I much prefered Visual Studio at that time. Then I transitioned to doing a lot l

I'm often amazed how old people that lived the majority of their lives under a communist regime (in my country) that exposed them to propaganda all the time can fall so easily for for various "youtube revelations". I feel if

Yes, plastic waste should be limited, but some of the worst examples is McDonald's (here in Europe) replacing plastic straws and ice cream spoons with their "paper and wood" versions. I absolutely hate the taste of paper stra

Man, that is tough. (IANAL) Here in Eu(and UK) if you're made an offer and they cancel later after you accepted you would have a good shot at suing them. Especially if you quit your current job or decide not to pursue another offer and

I'd bet $50 in 18 months "the crunch" will still be in full swing (and Raspberry Pi will still be "bringing huge volumes to the market any week now"). There is no way in hell all these expensive fabs will pay for th

Beam search is well known. I mean strategies like beam search, but one's we don't know about. I can imagine some, for example like beam search but you score every option with a smaller model. Of course one can say "but we see

Yes, you did. Back then I went to their github page and I found no mention of x86. Now I see it is there. Great. I'll give it a try. Also I see something much better. The same guy behind llama.cpp authors a universal ml library that do

I hope popularity of large models like this one drives more work on CPU inference of quantized models. It is extremely disappointing one can't run 4 or even 8 bit quantized models on a cpu. Inference I did with fp32 on a last gen AVX2

Probably every single thread comparing gpt (3.5 or especially 4) needs a copy paste caveat that it's not really fair to compare a "bare" model like falcon (not even its instruct version) with chatgpt _service_ the service par

Wow, I can't believe no one though about this when the system was created. Here in Poland if one wants a driver's license (or an extra endorsement) one registers a "candidate profile". You then use that candidate profile

It certainly does in Poland. My partner's publishing contract contained a provision for the publisher to do it.

That's interesting, many countries have laws(or customs) to submit everything published in a form of a book to the national library. I know here in Poland this is done too, because my partner was having her book published by a small pu
