Whisper (speech-to-text transcription model) sometimes gets stuck in an endless loop of repeating the same word. It's a known problem for lots of our modern transformer/attention-based models. One of the hacky ways to avoid this i

It's fascinating that it's outputting `<|endoftext|>` and then some unrelated sentences. When training these LLMs, you typically append a special "end-of-message" token to each sentence and pad the rest of the prom

A lot of games use similar or derived map formats (for instance, most Valve games). There’s a fair bit of game-specific tinkering to do, but you sometimes don’t have to reverse-engineer a new binary format from scratch…

There are two questions in play here: 1. When we ingest files or make new commits, how are these additions to the object store persisted? 2. When operations modify the working copy, how should these changes be reflected in the user's v

Ah, I misinterpreted. The trick only replaces blank lines, I thought it would work on any line because I thought that `@` was a special output token that would cause vim to insert a copy of the matched input. It isn't.

Wouldn’t this prevent the code from running? It’s just moved into the string literal. Would this be better? s/^$/printf("@%d\\n", __LINE__);@
