Perhaps the old recommendation of "Deliver a resume in person, shake their hand" that many of us younguns have rolled our eyes at will actually come back?? How else to prove your humanity to the hiring manager?

A couple years ago I realized that I had somewhat subconsciously made the same assumption. The thing that snapped me out of it was my awe in watching Clickspring (YT) try to recreate the Antikythera Mechanism. That device's complexity

Wow, seems surprisingly balanced. I would guess that if it was 50% longer distance than humans would win reliably, and 50% shorter would allow the horses to win?

Yeah, I feel like unless you run a site large enough for google monkeys to write a special case for your site specifically, why not just password protect the entire site but put the password on the login page? Or any other rudimentary captc

I've always thought the "strict invitation trees" or vouch trees would be an interesting way to moderate a community, even before the LLM era. A user can vouch for an unlimited number of new accounts, but if more than 10% of

A "reasoning" LLM is just an LLM that's been instructed or trained to start every response with some text wrapped in <BEGIN_REASONING></END_REASONING> or similar. The UI may show or obscure this part. Then wh

I just append something like "Throughout our conversation, keep your responses brief. Avoid emojis, followup suggestions, and other unnecessary commentary." to every starting prompt. Seems to work OK. I'm sure sibling's

Even funnier when you remember that they own github, the place where arguably markdown was popularized.

Is the data stored on the card, or on the player? My guess is that each card just holds an id?

Caltopo is great for this. They require a subscription to download (raster) maps but you can cache a bunch of tiles before you leave to get the gist. These days this is one of the very scarce use cases I don't use OSMand for.

Not even remotely true. It's part of the context window, so it greatly influences the final output. CoT is tokens generated by the LLM just like normal output.

It's more hallucination in the sense that all LLM output is hallucination. CoT is not "what the llm is thinking". I think of it as just creating more context/prompt for itself on the fly, so that when it comes up with a

The calculator is an extreme example, but I've wondered in the past if the reason they scrub everything is so you can't take the manufacturer part number to buy elsewhere. McMaster is undoubtedly more expensive in many cases, but

Agreed. I mostly meant that I'll never see the actual dataset that I contributed to. That's why I'd prefer to spend my time on things that I can see, like OpenStreetMap :)

Money. The insurance company gives a discount. And honestly, for someone who doesn't share my same strong values for privacy, I don't blame them!
