I replied to a sibling comment. Among other reasons, it treated a very mild inflammation of the ear i had. The inflammation disappears, but it comes back after 5 to 10 days. I don't want to take antibiotics again for that reason, let a

The reason i am doing it, is to smooth out any wrinkles on my face. Not that i have many, one or two, but the ice cold water completes smooths out the skin. I found out accidentally, that it treated a very mild case of inflammation in the e

Well, lying down on a bed or a sofa, and putting a big bowl of ice water on the side. Then immersing the head slowly at first, into the ice water. The nose, is facing the sky. Then alternate between the two ears, putting them as deep as pos

I don't have tinnitus, but i put my head into ice cold water everyday for an hour. I would be very surprised if ice cold water for an hour, does not treat tinnitus successfully in a week. Mind you, ice cold water, not just cold water.

Certain proofs about a program, implemented using types, are useful in high level programming, as well as low level programming. See Rust in the linux kernel [1], and Rust on Android[2]. One way to think about it, is that proofs about a pro

You need a way to track the sequence of comments. Not the comments, but the sequence of them, in a sha form. Some kind of ledger is the first thing that comes to mind.

Lol, awesome fragmede. The program has some defects though. The username, of which the comments it is looking for, is hardcoded into the code. The standard convention for CLI tools, is to create a .rc file, like .hn_reply_notifierrc and sav

I remember back in March, using ChatGPT to generate code, i was not impressed at all. I mean, the code was okey-ish, but nothing that revolutionary. Fast forward 3 months, i learned to use the tool, now i use it all the time to generate cod

Some of the problems you highlight are real problems for sure. I cannot expand any further, there are books on the subject, but i will add 2 more points. >That's opposite to P2P. We don't want bigger torrent seeders, we want mo

When some people are seeding a torrent for 20 years, with no benefit or profit to extract, there is a good deal of idealism involved. That's admirable. I am not trying to downplay their effort. But money gives an answer to some problem

Indeed P2P technologies seem to be fading out of existence. But i expect a comeback, not a small comeback, or a medium one, an earth shattering comeback. The key problem P2P technologies are going to solve, is monetizable self publishing. S

True, and a good way to explain it to a layperson is through a comparison of Html and Python. Are there any implementations of Python in Html? No, because Html is not a programming language. Are there any implementations of Html in Python?

If beginners in Python programming are not capable of visiting python.org, assuming they are genuinely interested in learning Python, it would be very questionable how good their knowledge on the subject can really be.

Nice one. Have you thought of stripping the text of words which do not contribute much to the meaning of a sentence? This way you could squeeze the context window even more. I have written some stories myself, with the help of GPT, i will t

If biology based computers are so impractical, then parent and you are correct. Nvidia will hold a big market share for a decade at least, probably more. I have a different opinion. Cells connected to silicon, even if they are short-lived c

I would argue that trying to estimate the value of statistical engines by taking into account only GPT, text is a narrow domain. How about visuals like SD, text like GPT, and music like Audiocraft? Music is still not very advanced but it&#x

Endgames get sometimes boring indeed, but are other games exciting all the time? Soccer for example has it's exciting moments and it's boring moments. That's why the endgame is called the technical part of the game. More like

Requiring regular users to compute PoW is a terrible idea. Actually it has the exact opposite effect. It will keep the attackers in, and the regular users out. The problem is that we don't know how much is a cheap computation without f

The process of decomposing the task into smaller steps and generate each step independently seems to be the correct way in my experience too. It works very well with GPT (chatGPT or GPT4). >100k tokens is plenty. The context window can b

Replicate has already hosted Llama2 13B, the chat version. My guess is, in a short span of days or weeks they will host the code version too. They charge a dollar for 2000 generations if i am not mistaken. https://replicate.com&#

Yes, of course it is more than that. You can create full songs of several minutes. I have published 20 songs on youtube of 2-3 minutes each. Listen to that song, the best i have made so far [1]. It doesn't repeat at all! I haven't
