By definition, zipper merge means late merge [0]. The problem is that if some cars merge too early, other cars will keep driving down the road and then merging in front of the early mergers, it ends up being disruptive in heavy traffic con

I wonder if you would get better results if you tell the LLM there's a token limit in the prompt. something like "You only have 1000 tokens. Generate an analog clock showing ${time}, with a CSS animated second hand. Make it respo

It was limited to 2,000 tokens each. I assume it usually hit that. So could be closer to 777M. assuming they didn't just cache it and just start rotating after a day or two..

The catch was that it was limited to 2000 tokens, i.e. the results get cut off once it hits that.

I don't know if it would be useful to you, but perhaps try reading some of the blog posts on earlyretirementextreme.com. Lots of good ideas there on how to save money, be frugal, etc. Or read a book like "Your money or your life&

It's amazing how much upward mobility software development has provided to countless people that didn't finish high school or university.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they only produced somewhere around 20,000 to 70,000 units. (45 +/- 25 ?)

> I thought it in a private language known only to me. That's so obviously a straw man. I would say that our thoughts can be without language. But you do make a point that we have also learned to add a layer of language-based thoug

My takeaway from the post: The picture of the solution space in 3D makes a great point - we see a narrow hill that leads to a global maximum (i.e. a great result) in a solutions search space that otherwise has a very obvious & wide hill

I used an HP-48G heavily in school. Just now I tried out the RPN calculator apps on the phone and I've realized that the enter key to the left above the number menu forces me to use two hands if I want to operate the calculator fast. I

HP-28 series had CAS (first released in 1987), they were replaced by HP-48 series which also had CAS. RPN was lovely because it was significantly faster to operate with. I remember showing up at math class having just received an HP-48G &qu

I've heard of adults going through Khan Academy's math curriculum for fun to refresh their math skills. It goes from K to 12 and up to 2nd or 3rd year university math, including calculus and such.

I was curious what the "cheapest" ready-to-use ESP32-S3 setup would be, it seems like there are dev boards with built-in displays ranging from 3.5" to 5", WiFI/BT/USB-C for $20-$30 on ebay. I guess those of you

In the future, we'll probably lose the ability to verbalize or construct sentences because our thoughts will be directly understood by LLMs, it'll be too easy and convenient.
