Unless it changed recently, the faster way is to just press ctrl+shift+V for "paste special" in Word, which should open up the paste dialog with "Unformated Text" preselected (IIRC), so immediately pressing Enter should

The Meta thing is the AI safety lead experimenting with OpenClawd on her inbox and the bloody thing deciding to follow her inbox cleanup instructions by "starting fresh" - deleting the inbox contents. It's the very first link

Real time speech to text already exists on glasses with displays and works reasonably well.

Well, just leave the catalytic converter out in the US variants of cars and pocket the difference. That's a far simpler change. I don't want that, but given everything else that's going on, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Society takes away individual's freedom to choose all the time. You can't choose not to pay your taxes. You can't choose to board a passenger plane without passing a security check. You can't just get a loan without any

The US market is extremely regressive due to the changing regulatory environment. I fully expect new ICE cars without catalytic converters in the near future. This is not representative of the rest of the world.

The reality in South East Asia doesn't support that. You're assuming that the potential victims are able to either use Android alternative or that they are willing and able to educate themselves about scams. The reality in these c

You're assuming that this person is in the US. Alcohol is treated far more liberally in other places. For example, in some places it is legal for restaurants to serve alcohol to minors who are accompanied by a parent... Another thing:

Binding to C++ is an extremely difficult and complex problem for any language that is similarly rich and has lots of (seemingly) equivalent features. The number of subtle incompatibilities and edge cases becomes nearly endless. It's no

My experience is that all LLMs that I have tested so far did a very good job producing D code. I actually think that the average D code produced has been superior to the code produced for the C++ problems I tested. This may be an outlier (t

I personally work on simulation software and create novel simulation methods as part of the job. I find that LLMs can only help if I reduce that task to a translation of detailed algorithms descriptions from English to code. And even then,

Checking for similarity with compilers that consist of orders of magnitudes more code probably doesn't reveal much. There many more smaller compilers for C-adjacent languages out there pkus cod3 fragments from text books.

Just spoofing a DNS reply would be enough if it arrives first, wouldn't it?

The result is a fuzzy reproduction of the training input, specifically of the compilers contained within. The reproduction in a different, yet still similar enough programming language does not refute that. The implementation was strongly g

This comparison is only meaningful with comparable numbers of parameters and context window tokens. And then it would mainly test the efficiency and accuracy of the information encoding. I would argue that this is the main improvement over

by gmueckl 9mo ago
This is obviously wrong. There is a bunch of knowledge embedded in those weights, and some of it can be recalled verbatim. So, by virtue of this recall alone, training is a form of lossy data compression.

by gmueckl 9mo ago
The result is hardly a clean room implementation. It was rather a brute force attempt to decompress fuzzily stored knowledge contained within the network and it required close steering (using a big suite of tests) to get a reasonable approx

How? The printer only ever retrieves G code for individual parts without any knowledge of what they are going to be assembled into. There is no viable way to solve this classification problem on this kind of incomplete data, is there?

This is an extremely bold claim and I think that it completely overlooks how Photoshop is used by professionals in practice. Professional users want extremely fine grained and precise control over their tools to achieve the specific results

There is one big argument against these "good enough" solutions: commercial business software providers need to put a lot of R&D into finding generalized workflows that apply to as many clients as possible. Effectively, they f

I don't find this surprising. Code and data models encode the results of accumulated business decisions, but nothing about the decision making process or rationale. Most of the time, this information is stored only in people's hea

I still expect this feature to roll out worldwide with some legalese fine print that the customer is responsible for configuring and operating the product "in accordance with local laws". I'd be really surprised if MS handles

That's completely different from PRNGs. I don't understand why you think those things belong together.

USB to RS233 adapters should still work for those unless there are really weird timig requirememts.

IIRC this was about the machine firmware. Their slicer software is a fork of PrusaSlicer, which is OSS.

by gmueckl 9mo ago
No, this isn't right. There are totally legitimate use cases for PRNGs as sources of random number sequences following a certain probability distribution where freezing the seed and getting reproducibility is actually required.

I wonder how relevant Fitt's law is with bigger screens and the drastically changed ratio between mouse hand movement and cursor movement on screen. It used to be that you could reach a screen corner with a very simple flick of the mou

No, this is technically not fully correct. Early text based display output systems were relying on special character generator hardware to generate the display signals producing the text on screen. Those systems did not have any means of ge
