   Eh, the strong market for virtual goods and the existence of significant virtual economies[1] like those found in Roblox and Second Life lead me to believe that markets can and will always exist, regardless of how far we progress into and b

   For $85, the Orange Pi 5 supports 8K hardware video encoding (H265/H264) via gstreamer, and that's just what I'm aware of. I'm sure there are other single-board computers with similar (or better) features. Unless you&#x2

   Aren't most mixers worth their salt simply an amalgamation of smart contracts? How does one regulate those without taking down an entire blockchain?

   At least as far as a career in software engineering goes in the United States, the field moves so fast and is so thoroughly differentiated that it seems like it might make more sense from both the student's and the employer's pers

    I only ever pay money for physical books and DRM-free ebooks. Otherwise, I just hit up the local library or, failing that, Anna's Archive.

    I cringe nearly anytime I see anything about neuroscience on HN, and yet I keep reading. I almost wish I had studied something else just to avoid that feeling.

    The evidence supporting any specific, direct behavioral function of serotonin in the brain is only marginally more substantial than the evidence supporting any specific, direct behavioral function of serotonin in the gut[1]. If anything, th

    I've been off them for a while, but in addition to permanently worsened tinnitus, I've also been left with reduced "tingly" sensations like those experienced during ASMR and orgasms. I experienced no benefit from the hal

    What does your pyproject.toml (or equivalent) look like? Which linters, formatters, and similar tools do you consider essential to your Python development workflow?

    I mean, if they're building on top of what is commonly understood as a generative pre-trained transformer model[1], then that just seems accurate? Although, I do agree that it's pretty cringe when they do it purely as a deceptive

    You might be able to enforce constraints through logit manipulation, essentially a logical extension of Top-K/Top-P with a more complex conditional ruleset rather than (or in addition to) a probabilistic one. Also, in most models, logi

    I set up a systemd timer that runs `pacman -Syu` every morning, and I keep an eye on the Arch Linux mailing list. It's worked out pretty well over the past few years. There's only been one or two times where something broke to the

    Oh, you're right! And by that logic, Hacker News is a malware vector, too, with all these random links hanging around. Maybe we should petition the moderators to integrate Google's tracking links here as well!

    In my experience, HellaSwag seems to correlate highly enough with model performance for my use case (i.e., complex autocompletion of prose and code rather than rather than glorified chatbotting). MMLU and ARC aren't too bad, but Truthf
