Yes, this is the context, but the study doesn't mention the Pauling protocol. Pauling advocated doses much larger than 1 g. I'm not defending Pauling's position. I just want to point out that the study didn't examine Pau

Point taken. I have a Python program that is an elemental version of awk, and I use that for the odd task. I can modify it if needed and I have the entire Python library to help me. Is the text Unicode? HTML? These little details matter. I&

I know lots of people like awk, but I pretend it doesn't exist. Why? Here's my comment on this from 6 years ago[0], >I used awk until I learned Python (long ago). For me, awk was yet another example of the "worse is better

My experience is that drugs, including prescription anti-depressants, when they work, make it easier to see that your thinking is more arbitrary than you realize. Having been seemingly locked-in to a particular perspective, taking a drug, a

This phenomenon is inevitable, at least for any apps or websites that have to earn their keep. The problem is, features need to be added to expand the user base and keep up with, or stay ahead of, the competition. Adding almost any feature

This reminds me of one of may favorite recipe books, Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers: The Secrets of Ancient Fermentation by Stephen Harrod Buhner[0], also published in 1998. It's much more than a recipe book, there's lots of hist

The file is not in tabular format; that’s why I wanted Bard help, to process a highly irregular file. I was hoping to produce a tabular format.

I found an exciting feature—a way to submit a large amount of text—larger than you can paste in the Bard dialog window. (It's possible this isn't a new feature. Bard explained it to me this evening.) You can submit links to files

As the sqlite schema below indicates, each command has a unique id and a timestamp. Whether you want duplicates removed depends on what you want to know. It might be nice for the UI to expose a time context, which would retain duplicates. (

You can use sqlite[0] to export the database, or if you want a ui, use datasette[1]. On my mac, the database is stored at ~/.local/share/atuin/history.db [0] https://sqlite.org/cli.html#export_to_csv [1]

A certain webhost requires me to Authenticator for 2FA, and I did so. I also configured my iPhone to delete unused apps. Authenticator was unused, and got deleted, so naturally, I had to open a support ticket with the webhost to remove 2FA

"Modernizing its search engine has become an obsession at Google".... No doubt it can be modernized, but just making Google search as good as it used to be would be helpful. And why not better than it used to be with the tradition

The context length includes all of GPT4's replies, is that correct? If I want to minimize the context length, should I be asking GPT4 to limit its replies to just the fix that is requested? GPT4 seems to prefer long-winded replies, i.e

It's interesting that you got a different response from Bard! I didn't alter the Bard response that I posted. Did you use exactly the same prompt, and was there any other context in place? After the conversation I posted above, Ba
