Wouldn't that newton's-second-law your own conker just as hard though? As the aggressor you get to choose the points of contact, which must be where the accuracy comes in. If you can strike your opponent downwards you're more

Yeah but they had the robots hi-fiving, pouring drinks on demand, chatting, playing rock paper scissors... fair enough you could get that idea if you only watched a very small amount of video, but that doesn't equate to Elon Musk hidin

I'm surprised they pick their conkers out of a bag. The whole fun when I was a kid was competing for who could find the toughest conker. Common cheating methods included putting it through the tumble dryer to dry it out (Mum didn'

Come on, isn't this obvious? There's no way in crap they were fully autonomous, and I don't think anyone ever claimed that they were. In fact there's multiple examples of them saying "I am remote operated" when

It used to be that you had to give examples of solving similar problems to coax the LLM to solve the problem you wanted it to solve, like: """ 1 + 1 = 2 | 92 + 41 = 133 | 14 + 6 = 20 | 9 + 2 = """ -- that wo

I spent quite a lot of time at Dynamicland Oakland. It's great fun and the people are just wonderful. I think of Realtalk as adding another layer to programs, the Physical Layer. Program behavior can be determined and controlled by phy

A plug for everyone in this thread to read `Recoding America` by Jennifer Pahlka, founder of Code For America. Extremely good book which goes into detail about why software is such a crapshow in government... there are many more reasons tha

This is roughly the Code For America model... there are many other roadblocks other than "ability to build a system" though, for example the pointlessly strict and bloated regulation which is mandatory to follow. Unfortunately it&

You haven't experienced a government other than the Tories, so it seems a bit rich to say you haven't seen a difference from who's elected. Some direct consequences of the last Republican government off the top of my head inc

This is the right question. There are relatively few people doing "Capital A Capital I" work building and training generative language/image models. Especially now that people have realized that calling the OpenAI API is goin

It's very attractive, but even as a 100% distraction-pilled person, my phone really needs Whatsapp, Signal and Spotify to be viable. Much of a phone is unhealthy mind garbage but not all of it.

Something looks wrong with the month-by-month graph... I'd expect December and January to be close to each other, but they are radically discontinuous. That's a priori very surprising.

Also, when you drop a circular saw it stops spinning. Table saws won't shut off automatically if you lose your balance or something unexpected happens in your environment.

This is a great idea. Fill the big hole in your CV; ride out the shitty job market; and give yourself more runway. You could work part-time as a developer once you find the right place too.

I find the whole site being covered in images of skinny waifu girls... offputting. The guide itself seems fine, if high-level. [This]( https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard ) is a really nice link I hadn't seen before.

Looks cool! I haven’t used it yet but this could be really helpful. What’s your strategy around oss? Why wouldn’t I just clone and use your repo if it can talk directly to GPT4/Claude? And, if I go through you, does Sweep retain my cod

This: these products are all community products, the value of them is in the community, and therefore almost all of the hard work is in building a community. If you don't like working with people... better to build a utility product, o

YYYYMMDD makes the most sense, but DDMMYYYY is second best because it arranges the parts in a logical order, least to most significant. The only nonsensical ordering is MMDDYYYY.

Disagree, it’s often best to leverage the profit motive as a tool for achieving your values-based mission, and companies are usually the best way to do that. Companies scale up more effectively than NGOs, attract investment much more easily

Moreover: in the high skilled tech teams we’re mostly talking about, the expectation is that you as a team member are helping to identify and drive the work itself. Reporting issues, looking for opportunities, talking to users and partners,
