That would be truthfulness to the training material, I guess. If you train on Reddit posts, it’s questionable how true the output really is. Also, 100% truthfulness then is plagiarism?

To be fair, we don’t need infinite years/generations to select for favorable traits. Such a selection process might already be underway - obesity lowers fertility, so there is pressure towards not being obese. IMO the next generation w

The lactose adaption took a couple thousand years to develop, no? While the last famines in developed countries took place less than 100 years ago. Feeling less hungry does feel like an elegant solution to the blatant oversupply humans are

Do they really solve the hard problems though? For me, the LLMs solve the low level problems. Usually I need to figure out an algorithm, which is the actual problem, and finally give some pseudo code to the LLM and surrounding code so it ca

I‘ve worked for over a year, almost full time, on an internal Flutter app that never saw the light of day (maybe later, if the stars align). Many apps just get their support section revamped with Flutter because there’s no need for that to

My hypothesis is that the scenarios the SQLite team has setup don’t particularly exploit the fact that the SQLite metrics become more favorable the more files are accessed.

Are there any proxy markers we can use to model cortisol, right now? Like HRV or simply continuous heart rate monitoring?

Usage is laid out well in the docs, I‘m not sure GP has read them. IMO it’s obvious that many use cases have been kept in mind. Defining a use case != accommodating a use case

How would a custom language differ from what we have now? If you mean obfuscation, then yeah, maybe that makes sense to fit more into the window. But it’s easy to unobfuscate, usually. Otherwise, I‘m not sure what the goal of an LLM specifi

One other positive externality could be this: The health effects of tire abrasion in cars are not clear yet, not least because tire manufacturers don’t disclose their ingredients. For all we know these fine particulates could be as bad as P

TIL, thanks for posting. The workflow I was sketching out is simpler though: Render a legacy game or low fidelity modern game as-is, and run it through a diffusion model in real time.

The world model can still be rendered in very low res, and then the diffusion skin/remaster is applied. And this would also be an exciting route to go at remastering old games. I‘d pay a lot to play NFS Porsche again, with photorealism

A used Dacia ICE is quasi unbeatable, you just can’t compare apples with oranges.

Are you saying a new EV will ever be cost competitive with a used gas car? If so, I disagree, unless heavy penalties are imposed on using an ICE.

I think a cheap car with 1k km range would sell pretty well already. For many people that’s a once a month charge.

While rooted in actual use cases, I agree that often the GoF and other patterns are applied when there’s no need. My guiding principle nowadays is deletability/unpluggability - structuring things in a way that removing a component or b

If Manuka honey has helped, have you considered using other antiseptics or even probiotic eye baths and bacteriophages?

It’s hard to overstate how much I want to see this topic the same way as you do. I think, so far, I’ve only become more productive, and I don’t feel the cynicism that many seem to acquire past a certain age (“all frameworks are just the sam

How do you see our profession evolving until and past your retirement age? Are you not worried that, besides the LLM revolution (and whatever comes next), ageism will cause you to be out of a job at say 60 at the latest?

We’ve had such spikes in an old apartment we were living in. I had no servers back then, but LED lamps annoyingly failed every few weeks. It was an old building from the 60s and our own apartment had some iffy quick fixes in the installatio

IMO it’s at least as important to be satisfied after one thing has ended, and not start the next thing.

That’s absolutely amazing. Besides hosting at home, do you feel any difference vs say a 1gbps line? Surely most servers won’t saturate this when downloading or browsing?

I‘m on a 13 Pro right now, and an iOS developer, so should have a reason to upgrade now. But the iffy situation with Apple intelligence in the EU makes me hesitate.

I think they say French (the language), but that might be for people outside the EU. German is notably missing from their list, though it’s a bigger market for Apple than French.

As someone totally out of the loop, what’s the status of font rendering in Gnome? The screenshots don’t look any better than 20 years ago, a jarring difference to what I‘m used to from macOS.

You’ve given two examples for “broad”, but none for “deep”. I’ve also used LLMs for setting up my homelab, and they were really helpful since I was basically at beginner level in most linux admin topics (still am). But trying to eg setup au
