No, AGI is not possible. It is perpetually defined as just beyond current capabilities.

I may ultimately stay away from full face helmets, but surprise impacts like t-bones and rear-ends are precisely why I find full face helmets appealing. For one, I can't really control how I fall in a surprise crash. And two, I'm

Locking the helmet to the scooter with a cable definitely sounds like an interesting option! I'll have to look more into that. Unfortunately I can't store gear under the seat on my scooter because it is a standing scooter :D I&#x2

This summer I got into electric scooter riding, and along with that I have been interested in finding appropriate gear for my riding. My go-to so far has been to wear a fairly cheap half helmet that I used to wear longboarding, and a pair o

It's also the best place to be to maximize damage if you happen to rear ended. It's also illegal where I live (edit: for specifically e-bikes).

The nice thing about using a language model over using a traditional search engine is being able to provide specific context (ie disambiguate where keyword searches would be ambiguous) and to correlate unrelated information that would requi

People often bring up the incredible efficiency improvements of LLMs over the last few years, but I don't think people do a really good job of putting it into perspective just how much more efficient they have gotten. I have a machine

It certainly should be able to tell you it doesn't know. Until it can though, a trick that I have learned is to try to frame the question in different ways that suggest contradictory answers. For example, I'd ask something like th

This is the "they're holding it wrong" of search engines. People want to use a search engine by querying with complete sentences. If search engines don't support such querying, it's the search engine that is wrong a

They are about as different as C for Unix, C for Windows, C for microcontrollers, etc. They're all really the same language; the biggest differences are the available libraries. Just pick a Lisp and go for it! :) If you're on a GN

React with hooks should have been a new framework. The only reason it wasn't was because of branding. It's an entirely different paradigm.

It's interesting that people are disagreeing with you in a way that they're making it sound like they're elaborating on your point. To the people reading this, please don't just disagree with an "obvious counterexam

Busses stopping or slowing down at intersections is a bug that should be fixed. Other busses is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. Passengers getting on and off can be a cause, but that is probably a symptom of boarding accessibilit

Lacking windows is incompatible with high quality housing. Cars are incompatible with high quality transportation.

I never have to wait in line or had issues with supplying power while charging my electric vehicle in my bedroom. The problem is thinking gas car and electric car are your two options.

Not only is the default behavior of `jj split` exceptionally good and not susceptible to the issue they described, but you can easily specify an external tools like the meld gui to offload these operations to as a configuration option.

> Everything is in the git history and is recoverable. How do you recover from accidentally deleting a branch that you never checked out? Assume it was deleted on known remotes also.

Apparently git sparse-checkout exists! I'm going to stop guessing features that git doesn't have now.

Jujutsu repos only exists locally. There are no Jujutsu remotes, only git remotes. Repo properties unique to Jujutsu (repo history, stable revision IDs) are not pushed to git remotes.

Ah, I was not familiar with that feature in git. In that case, I'll swap out jj workspaces for sparse checkouts :-)

by Zambyte 1y ago
That lets you see previously checked out revisions. Jujutsu keeps track of all previous repo state. In git, you can pull a new remote branch, delete that branch, and push the deletion. If you want to get that branch back, git reflog will
