You're right to complain. Writing code whose principal job is to be compiled and executed by a computer is not at all the same as writing prose whose job is (hopefully still) to be read by a person. Up to a couple years ago, the latter

Indeed, I solve hard problem for a living, but those are mostly design. The actual engineering often decomposes to gluing things together with limited need for new primitives. There are hard problems at every level of abstraction. TAGE pred

Nim is a cool language—not sure why this is being shared now though; this repo has been dormant for some time. A newer effort is Sarcophagus, https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/13879 https://github.com/elcrit

No cell phone period or no smart phone? I'm not sure how people manage the former. Do you have a home with a land line? What do you do when you travel?

Agreed. I use it basically every day. It's almost disquieting how quickly Apple inserted itself into payments, but it's frankly safer than a credit card and the NFC(?) works much better.

I'm not missing the point; you made several. The one I engaged I quoted for you. You can see from the sibling comments that several of us took issue with it. For what it's worth, I agree with your last position about just being ho

As another user suggested, train on the corpus that ends with the white paper publication.

Hmm, what are you disagreeing with here?

I think the truth is in fact asymmetric on this front. People, esp. many SWEs, like generating with AI, or more telling, wouldn't want to give it up in their work. On the other hand, people generally hate consuming the product of gen A

Dario said the same thing about GPT2 when he was at OpenAI. As you can see the digital and physically worlds are now completely compromised and life is a pale shadow of what it was 5 years ago… These guys have poor track records and comprom

It's true. There's probably not a clean rule for when to listen and when not to. I would propose as a heuristic that for the early stage, when your product relies on true-fans, you at least consider the content of a complaint more

This is my thought as well. Fewer severance packages.

We shouldn't set foot on Mars for a long, long time. Read the bit about contamination. https://idlewords.com/2023/1/why_not_mars.htm

Yes. People who live and breathe your product should absolutely be listened to. Especially when they don't have the super-user tools you do for support (or unconsciously rounding off sharp edges).

It's just another measure. It's not ceteris paribus better to have a lower one. From the author, "Strongest hypothesis: elevated parasympathetic tone from the post-sauna cooling phase carries into sleep" AKA, they use it

This is terribly uniformed. Do not listen to this. Cardiac hypertrophy isn't a "bad thing". This is completely contextual. What you don't want, for example, is pathological hypertrophy from things like hypertension, or e

This kind of nation-level hedging has been talked about for years in betting market-aware communities. It's honestly a much better use than fleecing nobodies with insider knowledge.

His account is from 2016. This is not refutation of astroturfing on HN, but in this case, I doubt it.

Yes, it's a losing strategy; no one else is going to do this. They are inviting parties to partner with them, so it's not totally in conflict, but yeah I'm sure there's genuine concern coming out of Anthropic, but I also

Anecdotal, but I do not think e-ink displays are as good for reading or benefiting from handwriting as an actual purely physical medium. They just don't have the affordances of durably occupying physical space. I say this as someone wh

Yes, it is a toxic sub, where the notion that there can be greater happiness on the other side of forgiveness than cutting ties is all but absent.

I agree with you on everything here up-to safety. There are lesser forms of safety than somehow averting a terminator scenario (the fear of which is a bay area rationalist fantasy which shrewd marketers have capitalized on)
