But it actually is music creation because I don't just write a prompt and accept whatever comes out. I listen to it, and if I don't like it, I press enter again! That's active participation! /s

cost goes down by 50% (it didn't) but you fake improvement while lacking any real improvement by taking the average of 4 runs. Cost just doubled, even though inference technically halved. Never mind the fact that the current model is a

they already are limited to no more than autocomplete, and they do quite badly at that too

yes but it's no good to me if wayland supports the subset of functionality that you use but not the subset that I need.

Anything not in the core protocol might as well not exist. It is literally, by design, impossible to write a fully featured desktop using the core protocols by themselves.

on linux, if a file is open by one or more programs, and the file is deleted (and replaced, usually, during updates) then the original file isn't actually deleted until everyone who is currently uses it closes it. You never get a &quot

The need for new data seems like it has outpaced the rate at which real data is being generated. And most of the new data is llm slop. So you might improve algorithms (by doing matrix multiplications in a different order.... it's alw

I often used it to convert unix style line endings to windows. Notepad choked on those, wordpad could load them easily, and just resaving them as a txt file converted them to windows line endings.

Because in most cases, it's not about the quality of the product. I've had cases where using a (free, open source) reverse proxy to implement SSO and TLS termination would save 5-digit figures (on the side closer to 6 digits) year

AI!

All of those are systems small enough that all their details could fit inside one human brain. That is a very intoxicating feeling, at least for me.

But only on Apple ARM implementations which have specific hardware built into the chip to do so (emulate the memory model), which won't be available in the future because they're dropping rosetta2..

python comes to mind here. I have almost never had a deployment go smoothly.

The bubble will pop eventually. So bubble wrap it is. Insulating foam doesn't really "pop"

And that tech debt possibly duplicated across multiple different projects now, too.

Just shows how out of touch they are. So the AI bubble seems to be composed of smaller bubbles around individual CEOs.

You can very easily inject wrong information into the state transition function. And machine learning can and regularly does do so. That is not a difference between an LLM and a markov chain.

by vrighter 11mo ago
A markov chain model does not specify the implementation details of the function that takes a previous input (and only a previous input) and outputs a probability distribution. You could put all possible inputs into an llm (there's fin

by vrighter 11mo ago
Building a static table of seen inputs is just one way of building a state transition table for a markov chain. It is just an implementation detail of a function (in the mathematical sense of the word. no side effects) that takes in some in

no operating system does. That's application software you're thinking of. So no, it can't. But neither can windows, linux, macos, solaris, templeOS or any others

so is the thing that generates bytecode from java or c# source code a compiler or a transpiler? Because the generated code will be compiled by the JIT at runtime.

I fail to see how "federation" is supposed to solve any of those problems. First of all, it would require a bunch of copies of the same thing, which all could suddenly go offline on a whim. And secondly, "it's too expens

the tech is real. The problem is that it doesn't have any of the promise it's hyped up to have. We've just about reached their limits.

it sent text messages, and received them. Ok now I can send some pictures and audio clips. I would understand a 10x increase, but not literal gigabytes. I have more memory so i can do more things, not so I can do the same things only sligh

I gave wifi to my AC, but went with a slightly different route. I used an ESP32 to reimplement its remote control and receiver. The ESP32 has dedicated hardware for implementing IR communications. I then recreated the remote control in the

All of those I avoid using due to their slowness. I can notice text-input lag in vscode ffs!

You don't get penalized for thinking of the idea independently. You get penalized for creating an instance of that idea. I think it's an apt analogy.

I've used p/invoke extensively. You can easily make your own managed handles. It's not as easy as straight up calling c#, but it's not really that bad either.
