It would be awesome if this could also search my Obsidian notes at the same time, and if it worked seamlessly on all of my devices.

tldr; we've pretty much maxed out the abilities of LLMs, now we need to learn smart ways to apply them.

This is why I prefer things like Perplexity AI, that cite their sources, and give you tools to constrain sources, so that all of the information you get is verifiable and accurate. Of course even these AI tools can have a bias and make mist

Dogs have lived with humans for millennia. The majority of whale individuals can probably solve their own problems far better than humans can.

I can understand why scientists, linguists, and whale enthusiasts might be interested in understanding whale communication. But I have a much harder time imagining that whales have much to say to humans other than, "Please kindly fuck

Often people claim that Hungarian has over 50 words for "you" ( https://dailymagyar.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05... ) But even the concept of what is a "word" in Hungarian is com

Uptime might be somewhat ephemeral, but it can be a pretty clear signal to indicate that two different user profiles are actually the same person. For example, it would be a plausible explanation for why even when I took several steps to hi

Imagine that, life in different environments evolving and adapting to fit those environments... Someone should propose a theory about this, they could call it the Theory of Evolution.

> we assume the LLM dosnt know anything, and thus before the users input even reaches the LLM it has to hit a couple other models which determine if the statement is a fact or not Excellent! Good to see the younger generation practicing

Yes? LLMs are already doing that.

Let's try... Prompt: Predict which type of algorithm would be effective to solve sudoku. Response: A backtracking algorithm is typically best for solving Sudoku puzzles due to its efficiency in exploring all possible number placements

Many LLMs are already linked to Python interpreters, but they still need some improvement with recognizing when they need to write some code to solve a problem.

From the title it sounded like the fluid could be given procedural instructions and then carry them out, but after watching the videos, it seems that what is happening is that the pressure/volume curve can be modified in hydraulic syst

I think this would be a good thing to legislate. If a platform has a follow button, then it needs to make a chronological feed of followed content available on 1) a dedicated, bookmarkable page and 2) as an Activity Pub feed. I miss the bri

As a white man who has been harassed on Facebook and who got no help from Meta or the law, your comment doesn't seem to add anything helpful to the discussion.

This would be terrible for libraries' abilities to keep archives of old books. What would be better is for less popular books to have cheaper (free) licenses for libraries.

I'd imagine that jumping so far into such cold water, even if your form is perfect, would also be quite shocking to your system and probably dangerous in and of itself. I say this as someone who went swimming with penguins in Antarctic

This is cute, and I can imagine there are some use cases for it. But I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't even have the 150km2 island that I live on. Maybe a bit too small for most cases.

I passed high school biology with a C, but I think the difference here is that two completely distinct independent organisms merged into one. The mammalian placenta seems to be more of an example of animals appropriating genetic code from v

The headline makes it sound like this happened last week, but it actually happened 100 million years ago, and we're just now discovering it.

I find it a little disingenuous that the author keeps dropping the TLD and describing the emails as cool@<poo>, when the TLD is still part of the email address. Interesting experiment, anyway. I'm surprised that it worked well en

This would make sense. If I'm tele-operating a robot, I'm going to be much less coordinated than if I just use my own two hands to hang a tshirt.
