What the fuck, who changed that? Seems like a horrible idea.

Another point is that if the dam is 10m tall, it has to be built to withstand 10m of water. just because it sits at 5m most of the time doesn’t mean a heavy rain couldn’t raise the level, and if the dam collapses that’s going to be catastrophic vs just spilling over the top.

Possibly even a multi-part rar

How will they even know it exists until the switch is triggered?

Today was my first day back after vacation… I wish I had more time off to take.

Also, a key part of how GPT-based LLMs work today is they get the entire context window as their input all at once. Where as a human has to listen/read a word at a time and remember the start of the conversation on their own.

I have a theory that this is one of the reasons LLMs don’t understand the progression of time.

The context window is a fixed size. If the conversation gets too long, the start will get pushed out and the AI will not remember anything from the start of the conversation. It’s more like having a notepad in front of a human, the AI can reference it, but not learn from it.

the kind of stuff that people with no coding experience make

The first complete program I ever wrote was in Basic. It took an input number and rounded it to the 10s or 100s digit. I had learned just enough to get it running. It was using strings and a bunch of if statements, so it didn’t work for more than 3 digit numbers. I didn’t learn about modulo operations until later.

In all honesty, I’m still pretty proud of it, I was in 4th or 5th grade after all 😂. I’ve now been programming for 20+ years.

I think part of the problem is that LLMs stop learning at the end of the training phase, while a human never stops taking in new information.

Part of why I think AGI is so far away is because to run the training in real-time like a human, it would take more compute than currently exists. They should be focusing on doing more with less compute to find new more efficient algorithms and architectures, not throwing more and more GPUs at the problem. Right now 10x the GPUs gets you like 5-10% better accuracy on whatever benchmarks, which is not a sustainable direction to go.

Transported in the same truck as a lime once.

I definitely agree, but I was expecting you to compare with something more expensive. Personally I really like Spindrift, but it’s like 2x the price. On the other hand, you can’t beat tap water for value (or filtered water depending on your local water quality).

Root’s home has been /root on every distro I’ve ever used ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been trying to motivate myself to go out for walks more. I really enjoy hiking, but especially over the winter, the weather is always an easy excuse not to go out (I’m in the PNW, so winter means rain).

I just bought some nice waterproof hiking shoes that will take away at least one excuse. I’d get wet feet using running shoes, and cleaning mud off was a pain too. Having the right equipment can make going out way more pleasant. (Also it can be exciting to try out new shoes or whatever it is)

And this is why the WSL1 filesystem was so damn slow. WSL2 uses a native ext4 filesystem (usually, you can format it to whatever)

I think part of that is caused by stupid turn signal designs that don’t stay in place, so to cancel a signal you have to push it in the opposite direction. And people can’t figure out how to get them to work properly.

What you described is definitely worse, but one of my pet-peeves is when drivers put their turn signal on AFTER slowing way down for their turn. It makes it seem like they’re just braking for no reason and might do something crazy like swerve across lanes.

The turn signal is meant to inform other drivers of your intentions before you make a move, not after.

Damn, that’s super annoying. My Ford truck has a similar feature, but at least it’s possible to turn it off permanently. I usually leave it on the “vibrate steering” / warning only mode, so if you’re distracted it’ll warn you but not actually take over.

When I first got it and was towing a trailer through some narrow curvy roads it was downright dangerous because I needed to cross the center line to stay on the road, and the truck was trying to steer me off the edge.

Most versions of their logo are a splat. I’ve never seen this version before.

Honestly I don’t know if I’d be able to spell random words on the spot either. I feel like I’m decent at spelling when writing or typing, but as soon as I start saying letters out loud I lose my spot and mess it up. My brain just doesn’t work that way
