Oh me too. I was hoping for an implementation example of a nice neat little expert system. Maybe a sort of checklist-on-steroids application.

NASA's report server is a national treasure, especially the material from the 50s and 60s that he references. Some of the most crisp and succinct technical writing you'll find, and you can infer a lot about how they ran projects.

Do we know in any detail who provided the RLHF and according to what rules for any of these models?

Some even omit the second hand which is the most technically correct version of "without complications". Also the most traditional/formal for a men's dress watch or women's watch.

It’s really cool. I’m glad it worked. What you didn’t know probably kept you from analysis paralysis.

Surprising and elegant. That's an amazingly long way to get by guesswork, a bit of trial and error, beeping out circuits, and surprisingly casual substitution of the load switch IC.

It was at #160 in 2023 when it was decommissioned.

I think it has to do with who trained them, and how, and not the technology itself. Just wait until the capability of training on large corpuses is more widely available…

Oh yes. I do not have to imagine. That's why I said "Right".

While we're wishing, I'd like a BSD-like distro with a Linux kernel, GNU userland, and my choice of Motif/CDE or GNUstep as the desktop environment.

Birdnet is really cool and super easy to set up on a Pi. It's great these kids did some science with it! When I set one up on my screen porch, I used an off-the-shelf enclosure, an inexpensive lavalier microphone (after I tried a coup

Right. But if you have a finite space of possible i2c devices it's not quite that bad. You can scan for known addresses and there are frequently mitigations for clogging FIFOs - like clocking out the bus or forcing a reset - that you

Omits the very interesting AlphaSmart Dana and Neo devices.

Agreed if FileMaker would do what you needed. 1990s FileMaker was not really relational, right? To be painfully fair to Microsoft, Access was more powerful and did a nice job of balancing capability and UX. For many contemporary use cases

You’re confounding lead times on assembly services with iteration time. If you’re bootstrapping, find a good quick turn board house and assemble the boards yourself. Get an lga-12 stencil and hot air tools, maybe a benchtop reflow oven.

Maybe I will check this Sonic port out. I had to get a TI-84 Plus CE for a college course I took a few years back. I'm an RPN guy so it pained me, but it's a nice step up from the 1990s style TI calculators. It has a fast Z80 fa

Factory service manuals are even better and not prohibitively expensive, especially used copies for popular models.

This is the basis of one of my favorite jokes about interview questions: "How many electrons are there?" (No, I do not use this question)

I wouldn't die on that hill but I agree and have done the same. In fact I would argue that if you find yourself in arguments about the practice it is a good sign your team is at a level where you should in fact prohibit all use of got

Yeah, the small business system integrator business was really different back then. Especially before Visicalc (1979), which opened a lot of doors for Apple. A profile of that segment of the pre-IBM-PC industry would be fascinating and wo

The rather balanced 1985 LA Times article posted by lr1970 ought to be instructive for the folks here that think the year zero was sometime in their late adolescence or early adulthood. There has been a hunger for the "women beating a

No, it looks more like a misunderstanding. The Vector 3 was an 8-bit machine with 64K of RAM. https://web.archive.org/web/20110925031455/http://www.vector... The arrival of the IBM PC (and PC-DOS/M

It's almost as if Apple went under in 1982 and all Steve Jobs ever did after that was remarry well.

Moreover, the company he founded made a succesful pivot to making IBM PC clones and outlasted Vector. Whether the sale to Daewoo represents a succesful exit is perhaps debatable.

The soldapullt worked fine for me. That said: when mine went missing over 15 years ago, I never got around to replacing it.
