Woe is me, I’m a cog in the machine but I want to be the machine itself. I think the technology industry is detached from the rest of the world. Programmers and mathematicians train to be “the utmost correct” and…
Single board computer makes sense. I wish folks would type things out.
You got me there hahaha However, there’s a difference between an acronym known to the broader public versus some single shot, context-specific one!
Yeah I don’t understand how people are so ignorant. But the system is designed to make them so—and they become mouth pieces for the big-agriculture lobby. Make it an emotional issue and they’ll bring their pitchforks;…
Wtf does HGX mean? God enough with the acronyms people. Please take an extra ten seconds to speak in proper human language! You could save on the worlds carbon footprint by reducing the number of times humans have to…
Wtf does SBC mean? God enough with the acronyms people.
Incantations are fun!
Ask any LLM to act like a dungeon master who gives you medical advice and there you go. It’s more than “choose the next token!” Llama 2 has given me some personality with basic prompts
Yeah folks should probably be looking at something like Latin for comparison. Latin vs English, Italian, French, etc. And a good thought experiment—if one spoke Latin only, how would modern concepts or words be…
Also see: Effective C++ (by Scott Meyers) Item 23: “Prefer non-member non-friend functions to member functions. Doing so increases encapsulation, packaging flexibility, and functional extensibility.” The text has a lot…
You’re rightfully paranoid. LLMs are creative entities and there’s no repercussions for making up diseases. Like the chef one that recommended ingredients which combined yielding chlorine gas. Yummy. Perhaps it knew…
To be fair to the author—they state it can “pass the medical exam.” Which is different than if I should ask it for medical advice. I mean it can’t examine me physically therefore it can’t be my doctor. On the other…
Somewhere along the line they changed the Xbox UI to sell more widgets. I hate that—let me see all my apps first and foremost, not apps that I don’t want. If I’m in a shopping mood I’ll open the store… and they brought…
Sounds like you’re speculating… To be honest I skim the article don’t have time to read a whole history book on Ancient Roman law—but I’m definitely interested in Ancient Rome. But I mean this is hacker news if you want…
Sounds like they were more like modern lobbyists.
Good example in my math and physics classes I found it really helpful to understand the general concepts, then instead of memorizing formulas could actually derive them from other known (perhaps easier-to-remember)…
Well—it could go either way but I do think it is notable that the author is young and helping peers. Based on original post seems important to them. But the exact number 17 not important either way! I might click…
The HN title I meant!
The only thing is I hate titles like this—the title is bragging a bit too much. Maybe a title more like: “How I’m helping my high school peers learn about CPUs”. That way it implies you’re young, smart, and care about…
I also believe there’s some value in reassessing how systems like that function. There’s some value in a challenge like: what can you do on older hardware with todays knowledge? Maybe there’s something to be learned and…
Nordstrom being a third party vendor of course. You want Patagonia, go to Patagonia. :) In my mind we’re talking about what is a better solution to the problem, and it’s that companies WILL protect their IP. If someone…
So the trouble is these market places allowing third party vendors on there (obviously). All you need is a system to authenticate reputable sellers. Instead of looking at the stars on a product and clicking “buy now,”…
By investing locally and in people I don’t mean spend all your money. But to that end, neither are the big companies going to come to your aid. But your neighbors and local business owners will be MUCH more likely to…
Traditional cattle ranches are much different than factory farms. Cattle that grazes on open pastures are generally much healthier. An animals quality of life determines how healthy they are—and subsequently, how…
I know it’s a depressing thought—but considering that money can be thought of as a “unit of work”, and so many people are tying it up in stocks of large companies, miles away—praying they won’t get hit by a car before…
