Why is it unavailable in Canada?

This is an abberviated version of the same yes, I'm surprised though that the vimeo link isn't working without login. I don't have an account with them and was able to play it without issues.

It's the classic shovels in a gold rush model. I just wonder what happened to the shovel makers after the gold rush petered out...

That's too bad. At first sight NZ has great geography for mass scale EV adoption. Temperate climate and distances not exceeding 1000km. Why are they flopping this much? Are there no significant savings to be had by switching away from

Pages and pages treatises about orbital mechanics, PhD dissertation on how space station docking works. Seveneves fast paced? yeah, no.

My first and only exposure to Stephenson was Seveneves. I think he writes for autists and I don't mean this in a derogatory sense. Stephenson's focus on technical details in his novels buries the story and any character developmen

I've never been to a European house that has drywall over concrete or brick. The only time I see drywall used there is in finished attic areas to cover slanted roof rafters.

My system nets me about 3.3 with the starter being GREAT followed by BOILS. If these don't uncover enough I enter DUCHY. between these three words I have half of the alphabet covered so I practically never need five tries.

Well yes I can but it is a moot point because my spouse cannot so the situation as a whole isn't any better than if I was limited as well

Cases make phones bulkier, sometimes significantly so. No thanks.

I wonder how much worse accidental UI interactions will be due to smaller bezels. I alredy despise phones that I have to pick up _really_ carefully not to engage some completely unwanted gesture.

Mostly because they positioned themselves as being a revolutionary AI shop that can crack the 2D->3D mapping with AI. They are not branding themselves as an outsourcing shop but from the circumstantial evidence presented in the article t

Yeah, this is why I call this the bargaining stage. Acceptance will come later.

The Republican party really embodies the old adage that the Americans will always do the right thing after they tried everything else. Looks like they are at the bargaining stage now.

Don't build with shitty materials. There are ways to sound proof apartments to the degree that it's a non issue. Adding a facility in the vicinity for parties solves the issue of neighbours wanting to blast loud music (unless they

I get angry hearing opinions like that of the gp poster. While Covid certainly did not reach the levels of catastrophe of Black Death, it very much was a big problem. Anecdotal evidence from my family points to a massive problem with four f

Yeah, after my initial honeymoon I'm souring on blueprints fast. Working with them on a team using version control must be a bit of a nightmare. Not having a way to export them into a human usable formal (say a good quality Lua style D

Lovely simple Unreal project. It's amazing how much can be accomplished with Blueprints when all the necessary functionality is at your disposal (although it can be hellish when it's not). I have such a love/hate relationship

My first job was with SGI O2 workstations. I have very fond memories of Irix and its environment. And Nedit. Nobody should ever forget Nedit. Or the flying buttons[1]. 1. https://youtu.be/gVyCjweagJM?t=586

OK then so the idea is that the LLM writes the response. This is useful for certain types of endpoints (e.g. summarize) but not a generic way to program. Additionally the cost of an LLM eval is currently too high to use this in any high vol

by abraxas 3y ago
Let's get this clear, the endpoint responses are hallucinated by an LLM, right? So this is mostly a tool to experiment with endpoint design in a non-committal way? Or am I missing something fundamental here?

Ironically, deployment, management, monitoring and security of a single (even clustered) EJB app server was a much more straightforward affair that today's cloud based Rube Goldberg machines that I encouter in practically every "m

You could do multi level summaries etc but yeah this is all just band aids around token limits.

I wonder how many web devs manage to keep the complexity of these server-client interactions straight in their heads and how fun it is to troubleshoot this Rube Goldberg machinery when stuff goes wrong.

Because a document model is not a representation of a widget tree. UI toolkits came with preconfigured set of widgets that were rendered in a uniform way, had predefined behaviour that was controlled by the operating system (say for accessi
