This one is odd: xn--mgbaakc7dvf (Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (trading as Etisalat)) Anyone have any idea why that would be a TLD? I'm assuming it displays in Arabic somehow?

Very interesting hypothesis. Anyone here with more expertise want to comment? The summary is that the sun is actually metallic hydrogen, which forms a lattice similar to layers of graphite. This both explains the black-body radiation of the

After the model is supposedly fully downloaded (about 4GB) I get: Could not load the model because Error: ArtifactIndexedDBCache failed to fetch: https://huggingface.co/mlc-ai/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-q4f16_1-ML... Also on

In the paper ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pro.4941 ) it seems as if they are basically drying out the cells (kidney cells in culture) and then rehydrating them, and some percent survive.

There's a more prosaic reason why Chinese companies use brand names like Felivolo, Tehanld, and Ljusved: Amazon gives trademarked brands many benefits that enable higher sales, and to get a trademark you need no other trademark holder

I tried using it for a screenplay and it more or less knew the format, but didn't remember what to do with the blocks of text or how to separate them properly. It would be handy to be able to select various formats and have it know to

My father was an artist, also suffering from some dementia, and towards the end he went through huge stacks of his work and put much of it aside and told me to throw those away. But I noticed that a number of the ones he wanted me to throw

I routinely see it priced at double Lyft or Uber in SF.

From my not-so-limited experience, it's often double.

What's your chatGPT prompt, just what's shown or do you have a longer one? It seems to be doing much better with code generation than it does with my prompts.

iOs now has a way of moving the cursor by holding down spacebar and then dragging your finger. This also lets selections be extended. How will this keyboard replace that for cursor movement?

It all depends on your prompt. I gave these instructions before your prompt: In this conversation you will respond to all queries in plain english at a 6th grade level. Your responses will be pithy and non-repetitive. You should sound l

How does this work? I thought collision testing was performed independently, but government agencies and insurance organizations. Shouldn't that have detected any of these problems?

Is there a similar capability for Bluetooth? I am trying to understand how TikTok can suggest "people you may know" when I have not shared my contacts, but have sat next to those people recently. Bluetooth seems the most likely.

Indefinite hospital stay order for hacking? I had to read the article 3 or 4 times before I was able to understand that this was in the UK, not in a 3rd world dictatorship.

Do they compare this to the accident and fatality rates specifically where these cars were driving? I think a lot of that was done in a completely flat and mostly empty suburb of Phoenix where the accident and death rates may be much much l

Which model did you pick? It defaults to 7B which wouldn't be expected to be the brightest of the bunch. If you pick their 70B model it says: "I am Perplexity".

The "modern" approach sounds like it would be a lot worse than this approach both in terms of input and runtime performance. Trendy ("modern") is not necessarily better.

So with 128K context window, if you actually input 100K it would cost you: Input: $0.01 per 1K tokens * 100 = $1.00 $1.00 per query? Given that each query uses the entire context window, the session would start at $1 for the first query and

We don't have those requirements on any other product, so it seems absurdly unnecessarily burdensome to just apply them to this particular product category.

The implication of the article, and also some subsequent discussion here, was that there were remote drivers driving the cars around, and that the supposed self-driving was not really happening. This is clearly not the case. When I was in C

I took a bunch of Cruise rides in SF when it was free, and I think I know what was going on. The cars were clearly driving themselves. But what did happen fairly often was that they would get confused and stop. For example, my Cruise car ne
