That's a terrible kit that should never be considered. You can get 6kW monster kits like the CYC X1 Pro, and battery, for that price!

No, the problem is they're still really dumb, and lack the ability to make logical connections that are obvious to us. "should I walk or drive to the carwash" being a very recent example of the larger problem.

Is there a net benefit that you see, ignoring the fact that you're no longer dependent? I've stopped a half dozen times, for around a month each time, but I found that I like the way my brain functions with coffee. The risk of a

Around 18k indie games are released on steam per year. Around 300 of those are successful, making over $1 million [1]. VERY few of those successes are using custom engines. Your list is probably close to complete, being far less than 1%.

Practically, I don't think this ends up being true. It's like asking Fox news to report something bad about republicans, or CNN to report something bad about democrats. Only the "opposition" will expose the dirtier truth

A fact related to something in the ocean, cephalopods have photoreceptors that are oriented neatly with nerves in the back, as you would expect. But mammals have the nerves coming out the front, in the way of the path of light! [1] So, ceph

Just like all the other policies that somehow manage to move at the speed of light across the globe. These politicians are seem to all be influenced by the same thing, with that usually being in opposition to the people that voted for them.

Daytime birds are tetrachromats (as are some reptiles), and have dedicated receptors for UV, so they see each other VERY different than we see them! https://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/17B.html

It would be neat to see the power budget breakdown. I suspect power draw is primarily the oled display, with the "more difficult" health sensors being second.

Sure, but nobody uses an LLM in isolation. They use systems that are built around an LLM. In many of those systems, like a chat interface, the context is almost always used a form of memory . I think I was correct that your disagreements b

LLM context window is the same concept as working memory. An LLM loading its working memory from reference a reference text or note you made is similar to how you might, if you forgot something. Context is a type of memory, by all definit

I've had a really terrible time getting LLM to properly handle errors as return values. It seems that bubbling up errors, in a side channel, to a contextually relevant point in the code (exceptions) seems MUCH easier for LLM to reason

Seems like pretty clear breadth vs depth tradeoff, with a reduced total area. People rarely cared about the details to begin with. Now those that did care can no longer justify the time that was previously required .
