[EDIT] My idea there, is that internally fat individuals[1], are having trouble exercising parts of their body located near their center of mass, even if they are athletes. Not all athletes obviously, but most of them. Being hit by some oth

Thanks. I have read Anatomy books and other medical textbooks. When I have an idea for exercise, I always research it to find out what might happen in the human body.

OpenSCAD doesn't seem to be bad at all, but not thrilled with a custom language to write scripts on it. I found a Rust crate which might help. I haven't managed yet to write Rust and interoperate with FreeCAD or Blender, so if it

In the absence of actually lengthening the telomeres, everything falls short in the anti-aging department. Most lifestyle habits contribute to shorting the telomeres as little as possible, which guarantees good health no matter the age, but

I may start using Blender if that's the case. I was waiting for some kind of success modeling 3D shapes using code, and automatically generating the code with LLMs, for quite some time.

Very encouraging results. Spatial intelligence of LLMs was very bad, one year back. I spent quite some time to make them write stories in which objects are put into up and down positions, left and right, front or back, they always got hopel

It is only in the last century or so, that statistical methods were invented and applied. It is possible for many people to be very competent at what they are doing and at the same time be totally ignorant of statistics. There are lies, sta

Every jj action is translated to a git action, but the git protocol is used only as a low level filesystem underneath, completely abstracted away. Akin to how C abstracts assembly as far I understand. No need to know assembly to use C.

It must have been somewhat the same when chess engines started to beat human players. The chess community should be fairly divided about the usefulness of such a tool. After a while things settled down, and all players use the tool in some

No one is hiring though for reading code. I have read 10 million lines of code, roughly, I have written not one line. Now I have produced a lot of programs, just by reading them. People should also learn how to read programs. Most open sour

Prompting sits on the back seat, while context is the driving factor. 100% agree with this. For programming I don't use any prompts. I give a problem solved already, as a context or example, and I ask it to implement something similar.

They could do that, but a regular gomboc would be totally fine. There are no rules for spaceships that their corners cannot be rounded. Maybe exoskeletons for turtles could be more useful. Turtles with their short legs, require the bottom o

The more specific are the instructions, the better they perform. There is a huge difference, between trying to find omitted text, or omitted words, or omitted sentences. If omitted words are to be found, put each word into it's own lin

I just tried qwq-32b using the numbered headlines of HN right now, with 26 items [1], I removed 3 headlines, still found all 3 omitted items first try, perfect, and it didn't even consume 50.000 tokens. [1] https://gist.gith

Poor benchmark. I tried their prompt [1] using 3 numbered items, qwq-32b got it right with no problems at all. I think it could solve 100 numbered items correctly 100% of the time, but it probably needs a million tokens. Probably even more,

Python's startup cost is terrible. Same with Node. Go is very good, but Rust is excellent. Even if a GC'ed language like Go is very fast at allocating/deallocating memory, Rust has no need to allocate/deallocate some amo

Amazing mr Emad. Open datasets are hugely important nowadays. I was thinking in the future I could make myself a database of small programming problems and solutions, 5 to 10 lines each, but a lot of of them, so as new LLMs become better an

Depending on the story, the examples have to be adjusted. But of course, logical reasoning from humans cannot be replicated just like that, by the machines. The real question is this: Suppose a person was great at reasoning the last 100 yea
