Not the person you are replying to, but I had the same thought come to mind. Every library and app seems to have its own way of disabling telemetry. In order for a unified way to actually result in unification, everyone has to sign onto it.

I have to imagine the takeaway from comments in this thread would be a big old "it depends." Which is the best almost certainly depends on what you are looking to optimize for and which trade-offs you are willing to accept. Is a l

Curious to hear more. My experience is limited to llama.cpp on Apple silicon so far, but have been eyeing AMD ecosystem from afar.

I have personally found that I cannot context switch between thinking deeply about two separate problems and workstreams without a significant cognitive context-switching cost. If it's context-switching between things that don't r

At least in e.g. Emacs and sublime text, you can mark all occurrences throughout the entire file. Assuming the matches are similar enough that the same motions apply even if you can't see the cursor, you can perform those operations. O

dot repeat is the wrong comparison. A closer one would be macros, but even then a good multiple cursors implementation is often faster, more intuitive, and requires less cognitive overhead. One of the better examples of the usefulness of mu

This assumes that the way things are now is the way things always will be. Right now AI is in its mainframe era (thin clients connecting to expensive compute somewhere else that you don't control), but I firmly believe that the AI vers

Technology advances quickly, but the apocalypse narrative is still bullshit. The reality is much closer to what it has always been: technological advances are a way to enhance what humans can do, not replace them. Being adaptable and adopti

Of course it's a true statement, but I'm not using self-hosted runners, nor does my comment mention them.

If you're getting hung up on "normal machine", what I meant is a computer in general that is not related to GitHub Actions at all. If that's not the part of my message you're referring to, then your message seems co

Not sure why you are being downvoted, as this is a very valid conclusion for you to arrive at, individually. To those downvoting, please note that this person did not say that nobody should switch, only that the information provided was a

I have generally preferred to avoid using community-maintained actions as far as possible, instead installing and configuring the runners as though I would a normal machine. This started from a desire to avoid an unknown amount of bloat and

I agree with your point about human level communication and treating the recipients like they matter. I generally tend to prefer communication that is more on the blunt/direct side, but if there's one thing about communication tha

Really appreciate this response! Glad to hear you are running Arch and liking it. I've been a long-time Apple user (and long-time user of Linux for work + part-time for personal), but have been trying out Arch and hyprland on my decade

For me it's a combination of privacy and wanting to be able to experiment as much as I want without limits. I'd happily take something that is 80% as good as SOTA but I can run it locally 24/7. I don't think there's

What operating system are you using? I was looking at this exact machine as a potential next upgrade.

Curious to hear your gripes about modal editors! I'm a long time Emacs user (traditional keybindings, not evil-mode), but I also started using Vim in parallel a little over a decade ago. I feel very proficient/productive in both,

Is parenting making us better at prompt engineering, or is it the other way around?

The author is referring to how the framing of your prompt informs the attention mechanism. You are essentially hinting to the attention mechanism that the function's implementation details have important context as well.

You're definitely not alone. I just checked the list of installed apps on my phone and found three different banking apps that I completely forgot about because I never use them. I installed them because I thought it would be convenien

"Necessary" was probably too strong a word. I'm definitely no expert so I can only offer anecdotes, but for the first ~decade of iOS, the keyboard felt amazing to use. I felt super fast and typing mistakes were rare. Now I
