There is this effect, as with Shakespeare or the Bible, where you read a classic and it seems tacky and common because you read the same references a thousand times without realizing that originally it was the source of those references. Ma

While helping somebody with an assigment during uni studies I realized binary counting is equivalent to computing all the permutations. We used that fact to solve one of many problems in an allnighter. Not very impressive but it felt deeper

Which dot products did you do, I'll do the next one. Oh, that was John's, but he is away on vacation today. Let me take care of John's and tomorrow we have a quick meeting to see which matrix he takes next. Sounds a lot like

We could get aliases that get slowly incorporated into git. Like, let's say git undo instead of git reflog, or things like that. It would not be too difficult to support a couple of names to do the same thing and let people use the one

You could have multiple representations of it. For example split by tabs to represent columns in a cronfile, so you could choose lines to get the second lines or columns to get the 3rd column etc. Anyway, just brainstorming here.

I saw gamestop the movie recently and it was stated as fact towards the end, IIRC. I was just vaguely remembering it, but I believe it is proved.

I wonder if a tool could parse any terminal output into json in a really dumb and deterministic way: { "lines": [ "line1 bla bla", "line1 bla bla", ], "words&quot

I would love to see internal data on volume of search at google. Depending on the interpretation of them chatGPT can meet both of your requirements. Personally, I still search instead of chatGPT mostly, but I have seen other users chatGPT m

That is the point. Long book, checking the long context to see if remembers about the first sentence. Or you mean as a test it is better to randomly place the "needle"?

We are arguing semantics but IMO the sincerity is part of painting yourself in a good light. Saying you are perfect is not painting yourself in a good light, but making sure you attribute success also to your colleagues (I did x they did y)

Sometimes I use this to abstract boilerplate https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter It can use a repo as a template. It supports some interactive questions to choose options but mostly it is jinja templates. Havi

Could we feed it Anna Karenina and ask it what is a difference between happy and unhappy families?

Weren't they also in direct communication with the (I think non-existing) hedge fund that would benefit from them allowing only to sell?

Agree. Alternatively: how much do you earn? Do you mind if I read your physical mail? Can I have a key to your home? I think it is difficult for some people to think about abstract ideas. When you bring it to the physical world everyone und

Higher average in itself does not mean that much without taking into account Purchase Power. From this https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/purchasin... it seems US has about a 10x PPP difference, so your

We can agree to disagree, but for the sake of the argument, since I enjoy the discussion, and you make good points. > "pressing a button" is a bit reductionist, but I'm not sure that it's far off I agree. And my tldr

I agree it can be, but… it also involves clicking a button usually. Although you can also take photos with light and no camera, like Man Ray.

Also. Good oldfashioned statistics remains viable in spite of AI.

OP literally argued against pressing a button and producing an image. Of course photography can be art, I agree (is this controversial in hn?)

IMO the problem is defining oneself as non-technical. Anyone can learn any topic if willing and with necessary resources. Some people make it part of their identity that they wont learn certain skills. Tech is nowadays like literacy. Imagin

I thought about something like this as well. Maybe it can suggest new routes so you can know new streets. It could work by vibration (1 vibration right, 2 left) like some running apps do so you don't even have to look at your phone and

Eggs do not cause suffering, no? And they do not contain blood. What is the reasoning to include them in this list? Honest question.

That would be true if demand for development in general would remain static. My opinion is that software demand has a lot of room to grow. If cars become cheaper, car infrastructure gets better people will use more cars, not the same amount

Booting in console mode saves some gpu form ubuntu graphical interface, in case you are almost able to run a model. It is hacky, but it might help someone.

I think it would be easier to answer if you gave an example. A fact is not a language thing, but a reality thing. It is the language itself that creates the complications that confuse us. Answering your question: yes. The easiest example, a
