Congratulations on the quality and the speed of the output! As a usual test for any LLM, I ask something I know a bit about, then check to make sure the answer jives. Your tools did a great job on both a literature and programming test. The

Unfortunately, what a token describes is exactly what an LLM doesn't understand. As I explain in my article linked previously, procedural steps with determinate outcomes need procedural, traditional code rather than predictive LLM re

What you're describing isn't how GPT training works. Mostly, they work on next token prediction without having any understanding of what those tokens actually mean. It works well for text and images but it can't lead to a r

That's definitely an argument within the community. Radio underlies a lot of modern tech like satellites, Bluetooth, and cellphones which are all just implementations of the same stuff you learn getting your ham license. The primary go

The interface provided by the ChatGPT website does not return URLs and does not directly visit ones that you provide, either. Those functions are restricted to Custom GPTs and the API. When you provide a URL, what actually happens is that i

I joined this hobby recently and found that most of the activity has moved to digital radios that use a hotspot. OpenSpot[0] is a high-end version but there are cheaper ones, too. These products create a tiny digital network in your house a

It represents a unique time in the history of computers -- an important gap between the mainframe era that came before it and the standard PC and internet eras that came after it. The wide variety of inexpensive and incompatible machines of

Definitely. And the more you use it with a specific repo, the better it gets. You'll find it can help with auto completion and function calls even in modules several files away.

I would say the short answer is, "No." What you can do, however, is open the repo in VS Code, then ask Copilot about specific sections you highlight. You can ask for an explanation or guidance on how to extend or modify the code.

Turing himself showed that any Turing machine can compute any problem which is computable. So the question comes down to, "Is the universe computable?" It's a good philosophical question! Religion says, "Yes, by a god

Microsoft MakeCode Arcade is terrific. It has both a block interface and real Typescript under the hood, and you can switch back and forth anytime.

No. And how did we get from history to conjecture? We use oil because it's cheap and comes out of the ground, not because of capitalism. If you could get socialists to volunteer to build and run solar energy systems for free, then we w

Socialism and communism are easily defined by Marx's 10 Planks. In terms of raising the standard of living, those are all standard terms and metrics. In terms of causation, money earned by people gets spent by them to raise their stand

Comp sci and math degrees are always welcome in programming jobs, and having a bachelor's in one of these can be a leg-up in getting hired. Most importantly, if she wants to be a programmer she should start being one now, writing and r

This is also not correct. No form of socialism has worked and therefore, empirically, it does not work. Capitalism, however, has raised the standard of living for more people across more socioeconomic classes in more places than any other i

My intent here is not to distort the meaning but rather to apply it, fully intact, to the concept of capitalism.

First of all, it is incorrect to say that the GPT "spoke first." The user created an account, initiated a session, had some number of conversations, then came back later and initiated another (or the same) session. Under that circ

To paraphrase Churchill, capitalism is the worst system except for all the others. Open source doesn't represent socialism, which has a history of mass deaths and economic and literal starvation. Open source just says, "I wrote th

Even System/370 [0] architecture (mainframe) is a great place to start. There's a one-to-one correspondence between assembler instructions and machine instructions, which makes writing and debugging considerably easier. It's

No shade, but do we need a tool just for that? I've asked ChatGPT for help with git and never had any issues. It even knows about UIs like GitKraken and Gitlab hosted, so you can ask about those, too, and not just the terminal commands

Howdy! OP here. I wrote this after not finding something similar and needing to clear up the "black boxes" in my own understanding of LLMs, GPTs, and other AI applications. Would love to hear if it's useful to you, or could b
