Fantastic! FWIW, ChatGPT as-is is good enough to know which (of a given set) of "tools" to use. I've had great fun doing prompt engineering: first asking it to pick which of a set of functions might be necessary to solve a p

It might, I haven't tried it (though maybe I should). I thought (maybe incorrectly) it was "super bleeding edge", depending on changing and bloating so many aspects of my existing setup as to make the setup useless to me for

I tried to use Anbox a few times over the last 4 years, it doesn't work. I'm sure I could get it to work on a dedicated system, where I matched whatever point release of the kernel and userspace it was designed to run with, but on

Now, if only there was a clean and performant way to run Android apps on my existing Debian system... Currently, I've had the best experience (programs work and do what they're supposed to) with Android-x86, but it's generall

As an American who has worked in tech for the last two decades, including interacting with Chinese subcontractors numerous times I say you are 100% wrong. #1. THEY'RE STEALING FROM US. Constantly. #2. Look at how they treat their own

Anyone have a C++/C port yet? :) Would love to try this out, though the source looks... difficult for me to do a naive port.

What's the math behind this? There's plenty of possible image embeddings/spaces.

I agree with (basically) all of this, the larger point. I'll note that I said "or"... ;-) (CYA) I'm not sure what the "right" solution looks like, perhaps a directory of TOML or JSON files. Perhaps the aforem

I don't like the design at a fundamental level. It feels brittle, bloated, and not very unixy. I'd rather have my init system be a handful of microscopic executables, using text files or symlinks for configuration and text files

I've used exclusively Debian on all my servers and laptops for the last 20ish years. Can confirm, it will continue to keep working, however there might be some things that piss one off in a similar manner as Ubuntu's snaps. I hat

Very nice. Hadn't seen such a clear explanation of PDV and the solution with synthetic delay before. I've designed several latency critical protocols using these techniques and some that build on this, but haven't before s

I never claimed to have proof, just that it's true. ;-) Personally, it "feels true" that life exists as a undeniable consequence of statistical thermodynamics (see: http://www.englandlab.com/uploads/7&#x

Yeah. I found and read that before my above comment (and skimmed some of the associated paper[1]) but all that says is direct detection hasn't been attempted since Viking, and that most good signals require in situ or sample return. It

Thanks for this, your phrasing makes the concept more clear. Can you give a (fictitious as necessary) example of what would constitute "direct detection of life", from an astrobiological perspective? Given our window to the uni

I am not a biologist. I could be entirely wrong in which case please educate me. :) My understanding was that life would be "detected" by finding chemical signatures in the atmosphere which could not exist at a "steady stat

I know, right? It's mindblowing that we can pass that light through a spectrograph and get the radial velocity just by the infinitesimal doppler shifts. Read about HARPS and the followup projects for more.

We were all thinking it. I am NOT looking forward to the Bell Riots next year. Being as I lived in SF in the late aughts, me and other friends would joke about the Bell Riots. Then 2016 happened, then 2020 happened, and all of a sudden it&
