New comment by fla in "Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use"

This exactly. I think this is why Anthropic simply don’t want 3rd party businesses to max out the subscription plans by sharing them across their own clients.

The advantage of the soft slope is that it can be used with a wheelchair.

The VW Multivan Hybrid is great! The electric range is quite small (60km I think?) compared to a full EV but still sufficient for some daily trips. And smaller batteries charges fast.

I usually solve this by commiting my fixup in a dummy commit, then do a rebase -i HEAD~n where n is the number of commits I want to look back at. Then during the rebase I just move my commit below the one that seem the most appropriate and mark it for squash. Execute the rebase. Done

Is there a general name for this kind of latent space round-trip compression ? If not, I think a good name could be “interpretive compression”

New comment by fla in "Switzerland moves ahead with underground autonomous cargo delivery"

fla — Sat, 09 Jul 2022 08:21:51 +0000

Swiss here. Not an expert on the project but AFAIK the idea is to reduce the impact of transportation on the surface.

With globalization and population increase, the need for point to point logistic is going to go through the roof in urban areas in the next years.

Currently this translates to having more trucks on the highways and roads, as our rail wail system is close to saturation already. Not to mention our road are really small compared to US (ie: highways are two-lanes per direction). This creates a ton of air and noise pollution and traffic jams.

This new transportation system should absorb some of the goods traffic and hopefully scale country-wide in the future while sparing the environnement at the surface as much as possible.

It can generate some funny C code with very opinionated comments too!

Prompt: int add_numbers(int a, int b)

Result: int add_numbers(int a, int b) { int nums[3] = {a,b,a+b}; return nums[2]; }

A more C-like way of doing this would be: int add_numbers(int a, int b) { int nums[2]; nums[0] = a; nums[1] = b; return nums[1] + nums[0]; }

Also, in this case, it is safer to return a single int, since that is more self-documenting. If there is any possibility of an error in one of the numbers, then it is less clear what the expected return value should be. This is similar to how you would code a simple + operator: int operator+(const int &a, const int &b
