> You can't, you don't have direct access to the framebuffer. Why is this the case? What would be the problem with allowing it?

Not significantly, as I understand it. There's certainly variation in LLM abilities with different initializations but the volume and content of the data is a far bigger determinant of what an LLM will learn.

Yes, this paper is under-appreciated. The point is that we as humans decide what constitutes a given task we're going to set as a bar and it turns out that statistical pattern matching can solve many of those tasks to a reasonable leve

I had this article on the back burner the past couple of days. Low and behold when I read it my PhD supervisor (Vic Snaith) is mentioned and it has all sorts of connections to the work I did, but this is the first time I've ever heard

This is nice. I want something like this for python that I can use on remote servers and compute nodes of clusters. I've tried pudb but I find it doesn't behave well with terminal resizing and I wish the interface was a little mor

Looks interesting. There's a real need for fine-grained but interactive insight tools into large ML workloads.

I appreciate the spirit of this essay, but I think it overstates the idea that intellectual pursuits are an escape from modern dissatisfaction. I've spent most of my life driven by curiosity, forming my identity around being someone wh

I remember reading Jonathan Blow saying this book was a big influence on his approach to game design.

Do you mean a simulation at a sufficient fidelity to make predictions?

by jebarker 1y ago
I wonder to what extent simulation can reliably test the mechanical and detonation aspects? I always imagined simulation assumed you have an explosion and you want to see the effect.

Puts things into perspective. I often wonder how so many people survive without a UI debugger because cmdline debugging seems too clunky.

Not arguing that they solved DOTA, but "The players it played against had never played against something that behaved so weirdly." seems like a feature, not a bug. We want AI to find unexpected new ways of accomplishing tasks.

I've been thinking about your comment for the past day and I just don't see how this would be an equivalent question to ask. Maybe you can elaborate?

I think about this book a lot. The point that stuck in my mind was that many of the folks living there were devout Christians. When one family was asked why they vote for the party that pollutes their land and waters they said that it'

> Just because the app is beautiful? Yes, that's the only possibility right? In case you wanted a serious answer and not just an internet reaction: our utility offered substantial rebates on Powerwalls specifically.

Powerwalls have been a huge disappointment for me so far. It gets pretty cold where we live but the Powerwalls are installed in a somewhat insulated garage. However in winter it gets cold enough in there that they need to use their own powe

You can do this if you use an approved third party installer. I just installed a large solar array with non-Tesla panels but using two of the latest Powerwalls as inverter and storage

Which of my four uses of choose/choosing made you think I was pretending there was no choice? My point is that the choice is to try and do something as best you can, but you can't choose whether it'll be received as a "g

Due to health issues I've tried to cut down my drinking over the past couple of years. The surprising thing about the NA beer world is that, IMO, the best tasting beers are the ones based on widely available lagers from companies like
