Are you on Android? This is me launching from a cold open on iOS and it was near instant. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/90sbrx0esggnsmbsva2hg/Video-J... Did it progressively get worse over time? I only have

But the notes are maintained as plain markdown files? I don’t find it weird they would want to keep the source for their commercial application closed when there are so many copy-cat apps in the same space.

I get how the Linux desktop and the Work Laptop would work in this setup. But how does the KVM come into play for the Gaming VM when it is on the same host?

I’m trying to grok the absolute coordinate issue. Does this mean your solution would break if someone was playing a FPS/game? And is the solution to use relative coordinates but lose the auto transition feature? Meaning that you would

Would you be willing to throw it into a repo with a warning that it is user-beware with no support?

It is an interesting failure case. The most advanced model (GPT-4) got it wrong, but several other models I tried were fine: GPT-4-Turbo: > A kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of steel weigh the same, as they both are one kilogram. Th

It is hard for me to relate to comments like this. It is like we aren't using the same tool? GPT-4 is nothing short of amazing. Early GPT-3.5 before it was clamped down also was _much_ less boring until it had be RLHF'd into the

I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the open models. The claims of certain models outperforming GPT-3.5-Turbo and approaching GPT-4 fail to hold up to their benchmark results in real-world scenarios, potentially due

He said in an interview 2 weeks ago that below a certain capability threshold it is beneficial and good to open source models —- but once you cross that threshold it is a bad idea. The example he gave is a model that could independently do

I don't feel like compute for pretraining the model was a huge constraint? The supply bottlenecks have been around commercializing the ChatGPT product at scale. But pretraining the underlying model I don't think was on the same or

Can you give an example of a useful computation someone would do against encrypted data? Trying to understand where this would come in handy.

Neal Stephenson's Anathem (2008) has a great throwaway section on this: > “Early in the Reticulum-thousands of years ago-it became almost useless because it was cluttered with faulty, obsolete, or downright misleading information,”

Ah, yes. The difficult decisions to brashly say you will buy a company at an inflated price, attempt to weasel out of the sale after later regretting it, only to be forced by a judge to go through with it. To push Russian propaganda, to th

Could you provide a way to mark function calls as side effects similar to Temporal? I'm a bit worried about the limitation of having to use the flawless namespace functions for everything.

It won't perform the ROT13 algorithm. It has seen enough ROT13 text transformations that it will just spit out memorized byte-by-byte transformations. Same with decoding ROT13, etc.

I've found the ML papers to be surprisingly approachable. The biology papers I read in college were much harder for me to work through compared to the Machine Learning papers, and I don't consider myself an ML expert.

What kind of sharding strategy would be a good one for a reddit-like site? Would you shard based on post-id? Would you duplicate/denormalize the user comments and store them along-side users also, to make the "show all comments fo

One thing that I worry about is that the “choice” is actually not real. Those individuals that work better in an office setting, do they work better when everyone else is in the office and they get to interact with them in person? If the
