I wasn't sure which of the parameters was causing it. Looks like ad blocking is the one, then.

I'm not saying this is the way to go, but damn do I miss the old internet where passionate people presented information for free, at worst showing an affiliate link for an information-related book.

Try watching YouTube without logging in through a VPN with an ad blocker. You get 5s black screens and "Experiencing Interruptions?" popups. If they don't want people watching videos without logging in, they should gate them

I'm also an aphant. Recognition still happens. I'll see a person I haven't seen in years, know that I know them, then finally remember who they are much later. Even though I can't picture them after seeing them, I'l

I can't visualize at all when awake, but I have been into lucid dreaming in my past and my dreams were visual and more detailed than real life (no bad lenses for the light to go through, I guess). I can also visualize a little bit when

I like playing the game in abandoned mode in single player, just me, my ship, a lot of dead space stations and planets and some fauna here and there. I explore every planet (except aggressive sentinel ones) and make short hops to nearby sys

I think the author is arguing against the idea of a next-token predictor as something that simply uses the weights in the neural net which record the probabilities of tokens following other tokens as a valid definition of what an LLM is. Es

So next time around they point to every instance of this, post it all somewhere and link to it everywhere, and make a big point about how they are actually scaring them enough that maybe they can make a difference this time. I do agree that

It would help if they actually ran a candidate that leaned more moderate than extreme. They seem to choose candidates specifically to rile up the Republican base. That makes sense if this is actually a football rivalry or something but if t

Exactly. They had the capital to gather massive amounts of data and compute and took a path that went well and pushed it to it's max. Are still pushing it. Are there better ways that don't need as much data and compute? Well, that

I'm just hoping that some day they can get back into the relatively small market of gaming gpus, even if for just nostalgia sake.

Leta told me it was shutting down months ago. leta.mullvad.net doesn't exist anymore. I'm sad, because it was a great search engine I could trust.

Is slightly modifying some weights in a markov chain somewhere really preserving it's contents?

I see a lot of concern about whether or not people will tolerate some behavior of mine that isn't harmful to anyone. I'm Gen X, so maybe it's how I grew up, but I just dgaf about whether or not my coworkers are okay with my t

Could someone show me what a shared helper would look like in this case? This code looks easily readable to me and I fear abstracting it will just make it harder to reason about. Is it just variable_with_a_better_name = that conditional?

It's not wrong, though.

I'd love to know what one of those conversations looked like. "Using this construct in this part of the code increases it's performance by half of a percent. Obviously, this should be changed." "That code isn't

Why are there differences at all? Unplanned differences based on training data sets? Or are the companies behind the LLMs trying to shape discourse through their models? I've been pushing the idea to people I know that these things are

That one for me is particularly painful. We were playing the alpha release before the game officially came out after work. I still work at the same place, though I've moved jobs within it a few times.

If you have hundreds of Steam games you bought through sales events, then that changes the calculus a bit.

> Cynically, I want to blame it on the absurd lack of empathy of rural Americans and a complete lack of ability to imagine day-to-day lifestyles that do not match their own. Doesn't that cut both ways, though? Controls needed to kee

This divide will never heal. I have no idea of how to get either side interested in the idea. I don't see a path to victory from any direction.

Seat belts aren't forced on you - if you want to not use them and face the risk of fines, you can do so. Media ratings systems are informational, you can choose to let your kids watch R rated movies or above. Are they going to let pare

I kind of have a soft spot for the human race, I think it's worth the extra effort to try, at least.

I was thinking along those lines when I wrote it. I do keep the thought in mind when interacting with an LLM that it could mislead me because they always sound so confident and yet get many things wrong, allowing me to damn myself if I&#x27

I just use it as a "mentor". A captive demon that has to answer my questions, no matter how trivial. Writing the code is the fun part for me, searching for answers to questions can be fun but I'd rather just ask the AI. I eve

It happened to me, and I'm 60. I lived in a rural area, maybe that's why.
