<p>> It's her life<p>Clearly it's not. It's the life of those she copies and is influenced by.

She's literally destroying her life.</p>

<p>Mate. It was pure sarcasm.

<p>I don't understand what "emulating executables" means and reading through the text didn't clear that up.<p>So it's an emulator that emulates whole platforms so one could run windows executables on other platforms, without any required extras? Like having WINE combined with an actual emulator?<p>I'm confused. Is this a tool for 80s style crackers to write the modern equivalent of trainers?</p>

<p>People have grown shallow and mindless, not even recognizing that there is no substance behind many of the things they hear or read.<p>Now some genius might respond with "people have always been like this" and that is likely true, <i>but the scale nowadays is vastly different</i>. The omnipresence/constant exposure is making it worse and, because parents aren't actually raising their kids anymore, there is no entity left to correct all this
nonsense in the minds of the next generation.<p>Or it's being outlawed doing so, of course.</p>

<p>Been using paint.net for years. The only downside it has is mentioning it's name, because people keep going to the completely unrelated "paint.net" website. Super fucking annoying.<p>Anyhow, the only paint program I've used in years. I consider it to be the modern Deluxe Paint ][. Can't get anyone to use it though, because they're all clueless normies stuck in the belief they need to use PhotoShop for <i>everything</i>.<p>If that makes no sense to you, consider the insane amount of people who buy an expensive DSLR, because they believe it makes them better photographers. Hint: It doesn't.</p>

<p>In windows I just use subst to switch python versions. Python always sits on drive P:. Never understood what all the fuzz about this was about. Sure, I have the same package on my disk multiple times, but if I cared about that there'd be easy ways to get around that problem just using OS functionality.<p>From my perspective, it doesn't come easier than running a batch file to switch between python versions.</p>

<p>I thought this was already obvious.<p>It's all just about the awareness of contexts. Want to improve it? Simply add a term to the prompt to unlock more considerations. Assuming we've not reached the edge of the context window, every new word "unlocks" new vectors with more context the language models adds to the considerations.<p>The similarity with how the human brain (seems to) works is so remarkable, it doesn't even make sense not to use it as an analogue for how to better use language models.<p>When the results (same way of manipulating an LLM as manipulating a human brain ... using the right words) can be achieved the same way, why believe there's a difference?<p>This is stuff one can learn over time by using/researching 3B models. While most people seem to shun them, some of them are extremely powerfull, like the "old" orca mini 3B. I am still using that one! All they really need is better prompts and that approach works perfectly fine.<p>The biggest hurdle I've found is the usually small context window of such small models, but there's ways of cheating around that without sacrificing too much of the quality using small rope extension, summarizing text, adding context words or leaving out letters of words in the prompt, virtually increasing the size of the context window.<p>If you want to improve the results of your language model, you should become a mentalist/con-man/magician/social engineer. It sounds weird, but it works!</p>
