I don't see how reading has anything to do with internal monologue. Do you hear the words you read when reading? If so, it surely has to be slow as hell. I did get relatively good scores in reading speed back in…
I have no problem with AI as-is, but writing should be concise and to the point, and without heavy tweaking current models write pretentious hard-to-read stuff like this article. A person who has something to say often…
I personally encode flacs as 192/256k opus from the start and that's fairly enough for most data save purposes, so no reencode for streaming is needed that's a bitrate of 1GB per 9-12h, and for cases when it's too much…
at least bun vibe-coded rust rewrite had a test suite (which doesn't justify it) we're all very grateful for cool toolchains and tools but I think people wouldn't even poke a stick at it if it doesn't pass a huge test…
No, I actually say that there are no words unless I think of them. Ideas appear out of nowhere and are made of nothing, like they just are integral part of my mind state
Well, I can't say for the general population, but for me there's just nothing unless I actively try to think of words, sentences and other things. One moment you don't have an idea and the next you do, like a state…
Well, language is not really required for thinking and conscious experiences, a huge chunk of people don't even have an internal monologue, and some (that'd be me) don't have any "byproducts" of thought process. Though…
"For an LLM, it is exactly the opposite". Is it really? LLMs don't have words inside, for the most part they operate by applying transformations to a vector that does not contain any words at all. Words that come out of…
I see the point, but really this is solved better by having a solid foundation of UI components (might be an existing UI-kit or own thing, a piece of CSS anyway), and then you can use the same-ish classes over many…
Probably just the convenience. Expression `select(User).where(User.id == user_id)` does look simpler and cleaner than `select(User).where(eq(User.id, user_id)))`. Maybe there is an actual eq function of sorts that…
anything except that it's malware installed via npm
Tailwind, IMHO, doesn't bring any real value to the developer or the codebase. It's just a weird way to write CSS right in the classes. We have a tool for that, it's called "writing CSS", and it actually has classes…
There are examples like ORM query builders (something like `User.id == user_id` should not return a boolean, but rather some inspectable query part), multi-value comparisons (e.g. numpy arrays and views which could also…
The fact that you know it literally means you understand, at least to some extent, how an internal combustion engine works (i.e. it is powered somehow by combustion, and jumping goblins are not combusting generally). If…
This "are LLMs conscious" question keeps somehow being thrown into the discourse and it's always the same arguments discussed. I don't get it. We don't have a definition of consciousness or any criteria. People…
If I remember correctly, fatal insomnia shares most symptoms with other prion diseases (in which there might be no lack of sleep involved), so it's probably the brain damage that causes death, not insomnia itself.
I thought we already have LinkedIn for that?
Many Slavic languages do that, as well as Albanian for some reason? Russian speakers broadly consider sky blue / turquoise / cyan a distinct color right between green and blue…
