Watching a heartrate monitor sometimes has the reserve-progress-bar effect. You know the deal. You realize the pump is on a hightened frequency, so you see what your smart watch says. And the more you watch it, the more anxious you get,

There will be a point in time when we will have to have the discussion if journalism and media are an essential and important part of democracy (which is what they says over and over again), or the downfall of our society. Given that most

The meme likely comes from a time when monads (and therefore IO) were not invented yet.

Given the probabilistic nature of LLMs, you likely need to run an experiment several times to see the various different results it can produce.

But yourr nephew likely also uses TikTok, right? Not everthing the young do is a trend others should follow.

Thanks Meta for releasing llama. One of the most questionable releases in the past years. Yes, I know, its fun to play with LocalLLM, and maybe reason enought o downvote this to hell. But there is also the other side, that free models li

Saw the same via the API with gpt-4-0125-preview. IOW, even gpt-4 thinks 2024 is not a leap year.

by lynx23 3y ago
gpt-4-0125-preview was the output from "date" and commented that my date implementation must be broken because 2024 is not a leap year and therefore the 29th isn't a valid date... Go figure.

No, GP doesn't "see" the world at all, GP is blind. Its fascinating how many pro-EU people get aggressive if they are confronted with others not being happy. Let me guess, while we are at unspecific accusations: Are you bri

The goals of individuals and society are often at odds with each other... So I wonder why you assume a random webshop should/could have a positive effect for society .

Wrong. I know what GDPR is, and I support it. But I dont like the cookie-content window implementation since it breaks the flow of browsing.

by lynx23 3y ago
I understand the intent, and support it. However, the implementation with the consent window just breaks the flow of browsing. It is also pretty much broken when it comes to accessibility and screen readers. On most platforms I know, you

The EU, which brought us the cookie-consent-window. Yeah, and they are totally not fools, of course.

Maybe those cconomists were already working less, which explains why their predictions were crap.

Wait, IANAL, but... If contracts were based on good faith, why do you actually need contracts? I highly doubt what you wrote. To put too much trust/faith in a bussiness partner seems like a good way to kill your bussiness.

Karl Kraus saw it coming. Huxley apparently not so much.

You forgot to mention celebacy :-) "Workout improves your willpower" sounds a lot like a 90 year old thing.

It sounds like you need to work on your self control. I think that is not really related to a specific compusive behaviour like too much screen time. Its a personality trait people affected by need to work on to get more peace. The inter

Well, the YouTube app ChangeLog on iOS uses the same template since years: "fixed space-time continuum". This is a trend, to pretend that users are too dumb to understand the complexity of things, so just do some handwaving and t

Its not that simple. Since the only party opposing this practice is far-right and mostly non-votable, nobody in their right mind has the option to vote for a party which does not support this practice. That is when democracy fails. When

We used to have an the ability to opt-out from TV and only pay for radio, which is what I did for many years. However, since January this year, the system has been reformed and the ability to opt-out from TV was removed. So now I pay 35&#

Mind naming some positive examples? All I get is right-wing political propaganda and "Whatever"-podcast antimodernwomen crap. I would pay to get rid of this blatant negativity.

The crappification of YouTube has already begon with Shorts and the inability to disable this completely useless content.

Not just in the USA. YouTube is my only vvideo source. And to add insult to injury, local legislation has it that I have to pay 60E/month for the local, basically state-controlled TV/radio/news station, although I dont cons

Last time I tried a temp above 1, I almost instantly got gibberish. Pretty reliable parameter if you want to make the transformer output unusable.

Full ACK. I have also grown weary of payed course offerings, because many I have checked out were basically low quality or shallow.

Interesting. I wonder if the assistants API will gain a 'browser' tool sometimes soon.

If you quote, quote correctly. I wrote "USAians", not "USAsians". What you wrongly quoted might imply something else then intended. Besides, it was the decision of the gov. back then to give shelter to these very ques

So, the gist seems to be "if you want to win, choose a inferior opponent". First using a somewhat inapproriate sports situation as a teaser (his superior opponents didnt really choose him, they were assigned at random) to later tr
