It's hard to know how accurate that is. Is the LLM truly imitating text from that era, or is it imitating a modern idea of text from that era? Also, safety/alignment training would probably prevent it from embracing many of the id

Holy shit, you've never worked with anyone who made ANY mistakes? You must be one of those 10x devs I hear about. Wow, cool, please stay away from my team.

Your assumptions are equivalent to the "big tank" model. You assume that there's a fixed amount of petroleum, we know where all of it is, and we'll extract all of it. My point is that increased costs of extraction will p

The rest of the comment shows that they understand the need to represent women as equally professional to men in tech. The first line is just a polite way to say "I think this is counterproductive" while leaving the door open for

I think parent comment is probably aware of gender inequalities in tech.

I think "feminist" here means "socially conscious," not "small-batch/artistic."

What date is that? Petrochemicals aren't all stored in a big tank somewhere. My model is that there are many marginal sources which are not cost-effective to exploit, but which could be exploited with better technology or at a higher c

It's implied by "no advanced mathematics training?" The article you linked (thanks for the unpaywalled link, by the way) describes him only as an amateur mathematician, but describes Barreto as a math student. If they were bo

I don't see where it says Price was an undergraduate/graduate in math.

Lichtman is an expert who commented for the story. Liam Price is the one who prompted ChatGPT. "He’s 23 years old and has no advanced mathematics training."

Neat idea, but as an adult who builds little machines out of Lego Technic for fun sometimes, the adapter selection seems very limited. In order to make this idea "practical" you would need adapters with a variety of sizes, shapes,

Clicked because I want an $8800 house. The key part seems to be this line: “But who is going to pay for these houses?” he asks. “The same donors who are currently failing to pay for adequate coverage with long-lasting insecticidal nets, cos

The problem is that wealthier families likely already have better health outcomes. Not exactly a "randomized controlled trial" in that case. This study seems poorly designed if they didn't anticipate this outcome, though.

Some people think that preventing the deaths of children is an end in itself, even if it's not the most effective way to contribute to "development."

Basically this boils down to "I don't feel responsible for the meat I eat being factory farmed." Not that I'm in any position to criticize; I'm in the cognitive dissonance camp. Have you considered consuming "e

I was just wishing I had 24gb rather than 16gb so I could run q4 comfortably. Unsloth q4 variants are 15.4gb-17.6gb so it seems at least well worth trying on a 4090.

Only novel art is interesting. AI can't really do novel. It's a prediction algorithm; it imitates. You can add noise, but that mostly just makes it worse. It can be used to facilitate original stuff though. But so many people wa

Ah, thanks for setting me straight. That's reassuring. I think I would still have more respect and trust for GrapheneOS if they either didn't respond, or struck a more neutral tone; but that's more subjective.

Framework is cool, but Lenovo and Dell have been selling repairable enterprise laptops with Linux support for years. Some Precision/XPS laptops even have replaceable graphics cards.* It feels like they don't get nearly as much att

If they were doing that one thing, they would not have posted this. It's fine not to market to consumers, but this raises additional concerns about the founder's judgement. Someone else claimed that they deleted update signing key

If the article called for direct military intervention, I missed it.

I don't think the passive voice is meant to protect the perpetrators. Instead, they are presenting sexual assault as a deliberate tactic or policy, or at least a common pattern. If true, this is a much bigger story than isolated incide

Perhaps not even necessarily subjective, just performance is highly task-dependent and even variable within tasks. People get objectively different experiences, and assume one or another is better, but it's basically random.

I knew that, but I still thought most desktops with 4 dimm slots supported quad-channel memory. I guess I was wrong.

by fwipsy 6mo ago
Quad-channel RAM is common on consumer desktops. Strix Halo has *8* channels, and also very fast RAM (soldered RAM can be faster than dimms because the traces are shorter.)

"presented at exactly the right time and in the right way" is highly dependent on individual gameplay experiences. For me it was revealed in a very obtuse way. I love the game very much but I think this is perhaps its biggest flaw

I think it's academic since the edit window for the comment has closed. I do have some sympathy for the frustration. I don't think neurotype has anything to do with it. Struggling to phrase this in a non-spoilery way, but I think

You revealed the central conceit of the game. In my opinion, discovering that is an important part of the experience of playing the game, even if it's very early, and even though I did find it initially frustrating. The Steam page does

I missed this but now that you point it out, seems plausible. Pretty ironic on an article about quality products being replaced by cheaper ones.
