“Any diet” is still putting you at a net caloric deficit. There is no other principle that can explain weight loss that I know of. Whether you’re counting calories to achieve that deficit or following a “diet” it comes down to the exact sam

The LLM returns a message called ToolMessage which then describes which function to call and the parameters (you register these functions/tools as part of the initialisation step, like when you pass it temperature, or whatever other op

I don’t know where you live, but I haven’t used nor carried cash on me for at least 5 years now. Everything either takes card or just tap using your phone/watch. Everything. Parking meters, cashiers, online shopping, filling up your ca

Well I find conversations with people in interviews to be less of a game than giving them “homework” to do, given that unless they’re totally green with no work experience, I’d assume they would actually have some stuff they’ve worked on an

Don't see the point of these "take home projects". Just ask them what's the most difficult technical thing they had to do before, and have them walk you through it, probe, ask questions. If you don't like the one t

It's not just the retrieval, tool calls entail another call to the LLM (ToolMessage) and possibly the result will then require other tool calls. Massive latency.

Well let's be fair. You can't get the type of telemetry Dyntrace provides "for free". You have to pay for it somewhere. Pretty sure you can exclude the agent from instrumenting performance critical parts of the code, i

I happened to install everything two days ago. R version 4.3.3 (I use RSwitch to switch between R versions on Mac). You should use REnv for dependency management. There were no problems installing the rethinking package, the Cmdrstan packa

Did you reply to the wrong comment? Nothing what you said addresses illegal immigration. Are you saying illegal immigration is something good and if you’re against it you’re for child rape?

What is the problem with deporting people who are there illegally? As someone who doesn’t live on the border of the United States do you know how incredibly hard it is to legally immigrate there? I don’t see why other people should be allow

The BD demos are cool and I’ve been seeing them for probably a decade or more now, but what exactly do these robots do? Besides for cool demos, where are they actually used?

What would the advantage to not have it lowered be? Like you're sitting there, sails down, anchored. Why would you go "Nope, better if keel isn't lowered"?

I always sucked at math, even though I did it in undergrad. I basically did this over the course of the last five years to try get better. It went something like this: Spivak - Calculus. This was a bad idea. Got maybe 30% of it. Gave up at

I’m bilingual since a child but didn’t really use one of the languages much after age 12 to about 30. When I do speak the second language I can fool locals into thinking it’s my first language, but it takes exactly 1 mistake or mispronuncia

That's great. Then don't use it? I however find it immensely useful and will continue to use it.

TLG is pretty easy to get hold of. You also want Diogenes, an app that allows you to use that database. It’s very useful if you study Latin or Greek, even as a hobby.

What about automated predictive modeling pipelines? In other words, I want the best possible point estimates only on future data. I’d think, regardless of the model selection process, I want to reestimate the parameters on the entire datase

Yeah it’s like people thinking anyone can be a Micheal Jordan or Tiger Woods if they just tried hard enough, started young enough, were born in the right place to the right parents enough. Some people just have the gift, it’s like neural ne

I'm the opposite. I love Tableau Creator and hate working in the browser. There's also no Power BI creator desktop app for Mac (nor will there ever be, I guess), so I refuse to use it.

Yes that's kind of my point, I don't _want_ to go and read through the pages returned by a search engine. I have a clear question and I want an answer. If I want to dig more, I would. That's exactly what these LLMs are provi

Who cares. It's useful as hell. Here's one of my questions yesterday: https://chat.openai.com/share/500a4377-7cf5-47b3-b833-74b85d... . You know how long it would take me to Google this crap and piece togethe

Maybe I’m missing something. The goal of an A/B test is to test a hypothesis. Where that hypothesis comes from is irrelevant. Sure you can waste your time testing stupid hypotheses that don’t have a lot of business impact, but that’s b

Yeah I laughed a bit when I saw Rudin’s book on that list. Understanding Analysis would be a better choice, even the end chapters of Spivak’s Calculus are a great into to Real Analysis.

“Today is the worst AI will ever be.” I’m gonna steal this one. I can’t say the same about web development, for example, or the US political landscape, or climate change, or mental health, etc.
