Nothing at all. Just a comment on the internet. Taking a walk AND and baking a pie is even better. I'm just making a slight point that walking is probably the simplest most effective thing you can do to improve almost every aspect of y

Not to take anything from any other activity that someone embraces, but I imagine that for the majority of people in the developed world, taking a 1 hour walk every day would be the most "life changing" thing you could do.

Biggest question I have is maybe... just maybe... LLM's would have had sufficient intelligence to handle micropayments. Maybe we might not have gone down the mass advertising "you are the product" path? Like, somehow I could

Good point, and kind of interesting in that as we keep cutting funding to the IRS, this ratio will probably get wider (which looks good, but is actually bad for what it implies).

Can't argue with that, I'll move my Bayesian's a little in your direction. With that said, are most other models able to do this? Also, did it write the solution itself or use a library like Eigen? I have noticed that LLM&#

Yeah, as evidenced by the birds (above), I think it is probably the best vision model at this time. That is a good idea, I should also use it for business cards as well I guess.

Is that 415:1 the rate of return of an audit, or the expense:revenue ratio of the IRS as a whole? I remember hearing some time ago that the expense ratio was 11% for the IRS? But 415:1 is way way less than 11%.

I also worked at Google (on the original Gemini, when it was still Bard internally) and my experience largely mirrors this. My finding is that Gemini is pretty great for factual information and also it is the only one that I can reliably (e

I think this is neat. I use org-mode for pretty much everything, which has all of these features I think, but sometimes there is nothing more motivating than a quick responsive UI to actually do something. This looks motivational. My only p

Really seems to me that there should be no exemption for land tax for non profits or religious reasons. It is just far too subject to abuse, and it means that we have large churches in the middle of incredibly dense cities that pay almost n

Strong disagree. If something has value, then the community should decide to preserve it as a group or the state should preserve it for us. I suspect that most of these schemes are some form of tax avoidance for wealthier people. The idea t

Thank you for your response. Haha, yes, when read out loud, all the new terms do come off as a bit unhinged. :] It sounds like the major difference is that DSPY is more of a "define a node in a graph of computation, flow data through t

Has anyone contrasted gas town to Stanford's DSPY ( https://dspy.ai/ )? They seem related, but I have trouble understanding exactly what Gas Town is and so can't myself do a comparison?

I can't make up my mind if you meant this the other way around? If you meant as stated, I'm genuinely curious why you would rather take and uber/lyft vs a (seemingly much safer and more pleasant) waymo?

One interesting point was the original PageRank algorithm greatly benefited from the fact that we kinda only had "text matching" search before Google (my memory was AltaVista at the time). Because text matching was so difficult to

I had never heard of this term and I thought about it for a good 30 seconds before looking it up (my best guess was it had something to do with the sea lion's "owrk" "owrk" noise when it asks for a fish at water par

tldr; I found something similar when I forced myself to slow down on "The Wheel of Time" series recently. I've been reading the Wheel of Time (started by Robert Jordan, ended by Brandon Sanderson). I'm on book 11 current

Fair enough. I guess I am making a bit of a straw-man in that I feel I just don't buy the idea that doing the same thing 10 times over the course of 10 years is somehow worse than doing different things over the course of 10 years. The

You know, this is kind of a funny take at some level. Like, for any surgery, you want the doctor who has done the same operation 10 times, not the one who has 10 years of "many hat doctoring" experience. I'm not really arguin

And yet... is it? Realtime means real discussion, and opportunity to align ever so slightly on a common standard (which we should write down!), and an opportunity to share tacit knowledge. It also increases the coverage area of code that ea

The email I received from them this morning claims that this will be cheaper for 96% of users... I have cron jobs on several github projects that runs once a day and I have never been charged anything for it (other than my github membership

Damn, I just looked up how long I have been paying using https://payments.google.com/ . Looks like I've been paying for youtube music since October 2014. These grandfathered people must be really really early. :]

Wait a minute, why is mine $13.99 a month? But agree, totally worth it if you at all value your time.

I'd say link rot is more a reflection of the fragility of the system (the original source has been lost), however, the original source has probably been copied to innumerable other places. tldr: both of these things can be true.

I think it is unfortunate how many resources are put into making things secure with TPM's and how little resource is put into basically having secure and simple sandboxing... All I really want is a computer that allows me to fully cont

I feel like this review needs a huge amount of context on PTA and his previous films to create any sort of justification for this film. That... that does not seem like a good movie to me.

I... i actually wouldn't be opposed to this if it meant a return to my buying things from the website of the company that makes the product. What Amazon really nailed, and the reason I buy like 90% of things from them, is the easy and
