Oh yeah? And I know people who do extreme sports with an extreme schedule whilst simultaneously breastfeeding. None of this invalidates the people who find any of the above to be too stressful. I’ve been to congress, will probably attend mo

It all depends on how *off* off-site really is. You know, *off* isn’t a binary, it is a spectrum.

I see the same happening on iOS, but on Plexamp. I wonder if this is a shared subsystem or some weird JS bug.

No, most often I listen to my own collection.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are optimising for producing more code, because in the long term, more existing code means they can sell you more tokens to maintain it.

You do realize that letting the LLM produce more output means that maintenance will be more expensive? I can easily see a world where claude and gpt are producing more tokens to sell you more tokens.

I never paid for the licence for I never used iPlayer and the investigators were welcomed into my house to take a look at the chromecast dongle.

I stream on youtube to discover and purchase LPs and FLACs on bandcamp and tickets for live shows to support the artist and not the rent seekers.

Thank you for your input - it genuinely is very interesting.

Do you have any thoughts on the question you posed? Amdgpu and mesa is working out fairly well for amd, but yes, there is also still a proprietary userland for it too. Intel I think is using mesa code for their Windows drivers too. How are

I do not understand why vendors believe their software stack is a moat. It is an obstacle to me.

What about support in mesa?

Those services aid will power instead of health directly.

Going vegan 1 day a week is trivially easy - if everyone does this, the emission reduction is not trivial. We need not have to go full militant vegan to make a dent. And I totally agree with energy/transit/real estate planning bei

My practical approach is to have a microvm for firefox and a bubblewrap “jail” for a firefox instance that runs on the host. Of course, the config options mentioned here are good too.

I never touch a mushroom I am not 100% certain is safe. So far I’ve had a 100% success rate in not poisoning myself or others. Wouldn’t recommend trusting an LLM either.

I have no proof, only personal experience interacting with commenters on HN. No other tech company gets as much positive support when exerting its soft power under the guise of (bullshit) technicalities, e.g. all the issues with EU digital

What specifically is the dispute about factual accuracy at the root of this discussion?

How many times do distinct letters appear in the word mamma? Do not write code to produce an answer.

Sure, cynically, you can use the argument that we can’t just limit the influence of megacorps because the problem is more complex than that. Sure, but limiting them will still help. Why not do the obvious thing that can still help? There ar

If you were to interpret the comment you’re responding to charitably, you’d understand that electronics components are a minuscule minority of all of Chinese exports.

Why would 17 year old do something that only brings them money? I do not think Mr Graham here is advocating for the path that makes most money as a result of learning how to train a model. I assume that tinkering and learning about LLMs is

We’ve received many an email urging us to reach out to Apple via Feedback Assistant. We of course have, multiple times. We’re told that we will strike gold if we just resubmit a bug report to some other part of the company. Yet, the APIs ar

Ye, but signals are cumbersome and a foot gun. Should a library ever install signal handlers? What about languages with runtimes? Ever read the spec on how go handles signals differently depending on how it is compiled?

I wonder if they're looking to achieve easy speedups. I can see lots of value enabling performance gains where normally people wouldn't bother because it's too much effort. I don't think this will take away work from tho

Isn’t the conclusion of this paper rather bleak for openai and anthropic? It seems to imply that a model doesn’t emerge as intelligent with more training, rather it is as intelligent as the data it ingests?
