The seats are like $349 at the local Costco. It doesn't involve removing the toilet, just replacing the seat (two hand tightened nuts) and adding a T connector to the cold water line so that both the toilet and seat have water. None of

They're totally installable in a rental, takes about half an hour to install the first time, and about ten minutes to remove when you move out. The only thing is that one will typically need to run an extension cord to reach the toilet

Training a GPT-2 model from scratch on my desktop to learn more about how LLMs work under the hood. Next step is modifying it to be multimodal, and then trying out diffusion models. Pretty fun project!

I wonder if certain text could be marked as unsanitized/tainted and LLMs could be trained to ignore instructions in such text blocks, assuming that's not the case already.

I'm pretty perplexed as well. They mention that they're not sharding PostgreSQL, without mentioning why in the article, but isn't that an obvious issue to many of their scaling problems? I don't really see what it is tha

Sounds like someone had a Java app and mistakenly exposed all of the JMX endpoints over HTTP. It's not the default configuration, and likely done out of carelessness.

One thing you can do is to define the classes and methods that you want to have, and have the LLM implement them. For tricky things, you can leave additional notes in the empty method body as to how things should be implemented. This way yo

Part of the reason is that public transit for whatever reason appears to be unusually sketchy in many places in the US. For example, a few years ago, there was an incident with a man with two chainsaws threatening passengers [1] in the loca

If you're using Claude code or cursor, for example, they can read files automatically instead of needing the user to copy paste back and forth. Both can generate code though, I've generated code using the web interface and it work
