Good luck then, I'm interested and will stay tuned! There are some interesting possibilities for doing the old thing with new technology but restraint is key.

Maybe someone here can suggest tools or at least where to look; what are the state-of-the-art models to run locally on relatively low power machines like a MacBook Air? Is there anyone tracking what is feasible given a machine spec? "A

This is a somewhat lame suggestion but in the spirit of Pinboard/del.icio.us or Bluesky/Twitter, a well-supported copy of OG Friendster or Facebook could just work to some degree. I don't use social media outside of old.reddi

Slightly edited title due to length limit. Interesting that the authors are all from Apple. Found via the citations in user wddlz's paper, Dynamic Prompt Middleware: Contextual Prompt Refinement Controls for Comprehension Tasks ( https

Very neat paper, thanks for sharing. Being able to interact with a model through, say, Jupyter Notebook in this way would be amazing especially.

I'll have to try this later but appreciate that the article gets straight to the point with practical examples and then the details.

Jim Fowler seemed like Calculus' biggest hype man when the MOOC ball was just starting to roll. If you're looking to brush up and like the more energetic/engaging style I'd recommend checking out his videos on YouTube or

What source can you find for John Young? Except for one extremely dubious blogspam link I can't find anything confirming this.

Do American car manufacturers make right side drive vehicles for any country at scale? (I wonder how many postal vehicles are ordered these days...) Besides size, reliability, etc. that's something that Japanese manufacturers have figu

That’s interesting, thanks. I a word and meant to ask which you use more , oops. The strap says that it works better on hard surfaces which makes me wonder about how it fares on say, a leg, stiff cushion, or things like that. Also if it’s

Learning about this for the first time, do you use the TapXR or the Tap Strap? Are there any tasks you do/not use it for, or environments where it functions better or worse? Can it work single hand or with both hands (and a second devi

Using certain family members as a personal rubric, fluoridated water has been a right-left issue for at least 2.5 decades. I think it’s been pretty polarized for longer, though it may have taken a long time to gain steam in mainstream “disc

I’ve introduced it to a small number of friends who do more research-oriented search (programming, law, building code, etc.) and the response has been positive. Paying for search is a difficult hurdle even for me as Google is just so deeply

Anecdotally the climbing gym is the only semi-public place in which I've walked past someone browsing HN; without material stats I would still guess developers and people in tech vastly outnumber other fields among climbing gym members

It's a bit funny that between trolling and innocent "screw it, burn everything and start over" that every beginner has been through, this is obviously going part of the learning experience... whether you're human or mach

It depends, the programs offered by companies are definitely a risk and many of the independent schools are predatory in their own ways. Many states and cities may have their own free or low cost programs to get into the industry for low in

The fact that it was bailed out says something about its place in American society. Stable might not be the best description but it does seem to be one thing which is taken for granted.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that! While responding to your comment I searched again and found a clue that they lived in Ann Arbor, MI, which then surfaced an obituary for Dennis B. Smith who certainly sounds like the author. https:&

I feel you; as a pretty happy user of Johnny.Decimal over 7-ish years, I’ve preempted this a bit with symlinks. It reduces the available assignment space but saves time when brain goes alt-brain. One observation from over the years which ma

Asking this to gauge sentiment or become better informed, not because I believe it outright... Could it be that people with more backend-oriented skills are better compensated, or have better market-job-security, than those with frontend-or

I have been using Cody with VSCodium and it uses Claude by default. I appreciate that it’s not in my face too much, it’s easy to use either the chat interface or in-editor commands/completion. I paid the $15 one month when I was trying
