That's interesting and thank you for sharing, but that does still seem like a judgment call and I would guess different companies would have different rubrics. Quantifying things is helpful but doesn't really mean that there isn&#

It's difficult to convey tone over the Internet, I get it.

I won't make that claim but I do think obscurity tactics are not normally publicized.

Crime is probably the best hypothesis but the other one to consider is that they have some sort of minimalist aesthetic, and they genuinely like the look of grocery bags (and nondescript bags in general). If this was a security through obsc

That was my first reaction but they did address it in their comment. > The real juicers are usually buried near the bottom of the page, a few comments above where the apathy and sarcasm start bleeding into grey . Emphasis added.

For sure. I was imagining that the software would be pretty thin and the FP behavior would be primarily a function of chipset, but I stand corrected.

On second thought what you'd probably do is identify the chipset of a calculator.

I think it's forensic in the sense that, should you perform this operation on an unknown calculator, this chart could be used to identify it.

It sounds like we both agree that she was pursuing a similar strategy then. Steve Jobs hoarding information and being successful doesn't mean hoarding information is a good idea or that he wouldn't have been even more successful i

For what it's worth, I've not yet met an LLM that both produces coherent text and will talk past you & try to get under your skin. I'm sure it could be done with an open source model and elbow grease but my read on the si

Are you sure that the people supporting H1B now are the same people who opposed it before? Do you think it's possible the people in favor of H1B were quiet before because they were happy with the status quo, and the people against H1B

I bet they did both. If I'm reading the documentation right you have to supply a seed in order to get "best effort" determinism. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/openai/re

The facts of the matter are that I went back and forth with you, patiently and in good faith, and tried to understand what your point was. And as you became more sarcastic, patronizing, and eventually outright insulting, I realized you simp

To be quite frank with you, you wouldn't be making tone arguments if you had a substantive point to make. And their use of italics is really not so different from your use of a "hint" parenthetical. Reading between the lines,

If it has applications I would guess they would be some form of geotechnical data, like measuring the stress within a glacier (if that's interesting for some reason).

Very cool! From cursory research it seems like many salicylates produce triboluminescence (I don't know why), and some people online with special dietary needs say that bananas are high in salicylates (though it seems controversial). S

Thank you for the lesson. If I could return the favor, you may be interested in linguistic descriptivism. You probably won't agree with it but it may be educational nonetheless. I'm always happy to put a smile on someone's fa

To be honest this is splitting hairs. If our disagreement is semantic, then I don't really care to discuss it further, you can use whatever terminology you please and it isn't a problem or something that needs to be hashed out. Pr

Goals don't need to be fully realized to be useful. Ambitious goals are never fully realized. This is like saying a compass is only useful if you travel all the way to the north pole. To offer a concrete example, mathematicians failed
