A friend of mine has been saying for years now, and I fully agree, that Puddles Pity Party[0] would be perfect casting for Judge Holden. Not just his height and that he’s bald. Watch the way he moves, listen to his voice. I can’t imagine an

Lobste.rs always seemed cool. I've been waiting for them to open up for years. But I guess the invite-only nature may be what makes it what it is?

I can’t take an article like this seriously if they don’t mention Erowid or the Shulgin Scale. Josie Kin’s research is wonderful, but this article does neither her nor the pre-existing research and resources justice. Kinda surprising for a

You'd be surprised how often knowing assembly can come in useful - I certainly never expected it. I work in the healthcare sector, which is infamous for having tons of legacy software. At least a couple times a year I end up finding it

Agreed that Toxoplasmosis is interesting! Just wanted to point out that Toxoplasma Gondii is a protozoan and not a fungus.

Great paper. But wow, I really wish everyone would use more easily searchable names for their projects. In 6 months, there’s a high probability I’ll end up googling/ddging “megabyte model” trying to find this paper again.

Lack of order-preserving parallel parquet writing was my biggest gripe with DuckDB. Glad to see they implemented it! Between this duckdb release, DataFusion and Apache Arrow (yes, I know that helps power the other projects I listed), I’m ho

This is very true, however there is a long way to go in terms of chip design specific to DL architectures. I’m sure we’ll see lots of players release chips that are an order of magnitude more efficient for certain model types, but still fab

For the best, IMO. That was a great interaction, and anybody running into issues in the future related to this problem actually stand a chance of running into this thread now.

I made the same mistake recently! It doesn’t help that there are so many poorly documented repos that make similar mistakes (and worse yet, half baked medium articles that blatantly give false information). Directly translating papers to Py

Yeah, I’ve done quite a bit of hiking and backpacking. Only got into preparing my own dehydrated meals in the last year or so, before that it was always a combination of wet food and some prepackaged meals. I’m definitely impressed with the

Fabricd Bellard is a rare person who seems to do and understand everything . I often just grab a cup of coffee and read through the code for random projects[0] of his. [0] https://bellard.org/

You can ask the mods to update the title, they’re quite responsive.

Your solution seems way more palatable to me. I refuse to use these third-party centralized services or hook up my appliances to the internet. Right now I just set an alarm on my phones for when I estimate it will be done, and snooze it a c

I’m not who you’re replying to, but I hope my input will be helpful. I just use Jetbrains IDEs on projects with the IdeaVim plugin (integrates so well with the IDE, it’s pretty much my only must-have plugin for any software, beyond uBlock

This is the way. The only way I can stop coding and stay comfortable when it’s getting late, especially if it’s something even mildly interesting, is to do a borderline incoherent mind dump and break the linter/formatter. Just all my t

Totally agree there. Even people that have years of ML under their belt may have a hard time there. And the cost (and scarcity) of those GPUs really are a major barrier to entry.

Really depends. I’ve pretty much almost burned through all the cloud credits I’ve been able to find at this point. Probably spent 20 grand over a year in credits? Never more than a couple hundred of my own money. Still trying to find a bett

I don’t know about out of the box, but I’ve been having a great time training my own domain-specific models from scratch and utilizing them locally. It does seem that the more domain specific a task is, far fewer params are needed. Having f

Aww. I was hoping for an extension that allows you to publish your ChatGPT transcripts to a public database, and search the database for existing prompts+responses. Maybe some sort of tagging and rating feature.

You sound very confident. Not that I disagree, necessarily, but do you care to elaborate?

Yep, constantly. Pretty much whenever I reload the tab.

I think I’m just going to keep buying and driving 15 year old cars until the new cars are an order of magnitude better. I can buy 10 half decent 15 year old cars for the price of new Tesla! (15 years old is the magic number in MA where the

While I guess this is kind-of interesting, where did the title of the post come from? All I’m seeing here is somebody used ChatGPT to write some code and a pull request. Even the person opening the PR says “Co-authored-by: ChatGPT”. Maybe

I tried this on a pretty tame twitter account and it flagged a retweet that contained the word “fucking” used for emphasis on excitement. Claimed that the f-word is a slur against a marginalized group? Can only imagine it’s meaning the othe

I'm a big fan of Sabine Hossenfelder's videos, as they give me a window into areas I find interesting but have little background on. I'm interested in fusion + the related physics, and this video gave a pretty good background

Where are you getting that data from? Sure, a lot of people like some sugar in their coffee, but I’d definitely be hesitant to call it most people, off the cuff. I prefer just enough cream to change the color visibly, or black. No sugar. I’

Yeah, I had similar thoughts until I switched to the beta. Still don’t understand why the existing GitHub search is broken, though.
