It's the whole point of Emacs that it's malleable and can (should) be tailored to the own personal users needs.

Sorry, but that's again a straw man: No one claimed that those countries never have bad news. Those countries having bad news and the Economist exploiting it also doesn't really seem like a crazy conspiracy theory.

Not surprised. These models are inherently stochastic and will therefore happily say A and ¬A when prompted multiple times. A fundamental difference to how humans operate. (You could say that humans are stochastic, too, but they're

GPT4 response: You can translate the phrase "She said goodbye too many times before" into Latin as "Dixit vale saepe nimis antea". I asked GPT4 whether it could make the translation shorter to which it responded t

It is easy to detect what people are looking at. Solved problem. It’s difficult to effectively use such a low—bandwidth signal, and that’s where LLM come in. You need an LLM to anticipate what the user wants to say. An LLM fine-tuned on th

Solving eye-tracking keyboards is not so much a task for a company with eye-tracking expertise but for one with expertise in large language models.

C is neither minimal nor well-defined, as has been discussed extensively. Random blog post illustrating only some of the issues is here [1]. Just google “undefined behavior c” for a lot more. There are also a bunch of famous rants by Linus

I used Debian as a student when I had time to endlessly edit config files. What's the state today? Is it possible to just use it to get work done, say, on a Thinkpad?

The fact that the author lists her pronouns is probably enough to offend some people here.

Why has this submission been flagged? I see nothing wrong with it, and the discussion here is constructive and insightful.

I don’t think that this list is supposed to be an accurate representation of how people typically use vim. More likely this list was compiled precisely because these uses are somewhat non-standard / non-obvious and therefore worth shar

You interpret X11 apps as a technical descriptor, but I think it's more a description of the ecosystem in which these apps evolved and whose culture they represent.

I think some of these 13B models may only be pretrained and may not have benefited from RLHF. So it’s not clear how much of the difference is due to parameter count.

Even if that where possible, I doubt that the accuracy of the eye-tracker is sufficiently high for this approach to work.

The pixels may be 7.5 microns but you’re forgetting that they are viewed through a lens. The point stands: 4K pixels for the full field of view, which is a lower density than 4K for a small screen.

by tmalsburg2 3y ago
4K is not much if you consider that these pixels have to cover the entire field of view, not just a relatively small screen.

I’m surprised that these instructions are making such heavy use of negation, explicit (“not”) and implicit (“avoid”). It’s well known [0] that LLMs, like humans, struggle with negation. Some instructions, of course, cannot be easily framed

Yeah, still a bit strange given that GPT4 doesn’t even see individual characters but only tokens.

Clarification question: When you press C-c C-c on the B block, what is sent to ChatGPT, only B or the whole previous conversation? If the latter, this would break Org Babel semantics. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but something to be awar

I know. But the idea that they'd pop the Champagne now suggests that the closure of the remaining plants was a reason for Russia to celebrate. However, if the phasing out of nuclear in Germany was ever a reason for them to celebrate,

I doubt it. The share of nuclear power was too small to matter geopolitically, just 5% of electricity.

The previous year, 2020, is a bit of an outlier, though, due to covid.

No, Germany does not go the furthest. Other countries have quit nuclear long ago, e.g. Italy closed all plants in 1990 following a 1987 referendum, i.e. 33 years before Germany. Similarly Lithuania. Denmark already decided in the 1980ies no
