Cache all the last lookups but otherwise just store the index within pi? And for larger files - split them into chunks of whatever size could be handled?

(I mean, I realize this is a joke and can't make sense - but GPUs can be really really fast, and am willing to make a fool of myself by asking.)

And if we had a quantum computer that stores all of pi on one qubit, that could make things even faster ;/

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, cyclones, typhoons, floods, epidemics, poisinous Jellyfish, and a whole lot more..

I have friends from the Phillipines, and think they are truly swell - and the pics they send look awesome, but I wouldn't dream of visiting them.

I made a bet with someone at the outbreak of Covid that within 10 years electric cars and self driving cars would be commonplace in New York, Brussles and Jerusalem.

I think I will win the electric car claim, and he will win the self driving. ;/

And he would think he has the right answer, perhaps write up an essay about his findings, which later AI bots will read and learn from, propgating the mistake...

But I use Codex and Claude daily (work and hobby respectively). And there are days where one or the other just seems to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. Or is just being lazy. Or is suddenly super-powered do everything including what i asked it not to. (To be fair, the same thing happens with myself. :/)

I am convinced that if I was bench-marking, I would be convinced these are different models on different days.

[This conviction may say more about me then about the model.]

Because non-deterministic, because of constant updates and changes, and because the models are throttled according to number of users, releases, et al.

Why would you think that?

> And arresting / detaining / demanding papers from any and everyone?

I have lots of friends from outside the U.S. that come regularly and don't find it onerous. Maybe it depends where you are coming from?

> With federal agents killing civilians?

OK, I agree that there are issues, and even very serious ones. Obviously, not on the level of China, but still serious issues. Nonetheless, what you see on left leaning media is not representative of what is happening on the ground throughout the U.S. Not even close.

IMO, the US is definitely positive wrt human rights. There are issues, but you can go to a No Kings protest, and live your life happily without issues, and it is hard to find another country that is nearly as forgiving. And it at least has people trying to spread concepts of individual liberty, vs most countries in Europe, almost all countries in Asia, and ALL Muslim countries, that are leaning to removing individual rights.

Cursor is installed on a LOT of computers.

Once Grok becomes the default engine, it will raise adoption.

More importantly, if you have Cursor installed all your data may be sent to their labs whether you use it or not (unfortunately - this is par for the course for all the LLMs, a la Microsoft).

That's worth a lot - especially considering that Cursor might also grow with the shift to more powerful local models and the fact that it has a respectable income stream.

As such, I wanted to break into jj via the GUI, and only adopt the command line after I could visualize the concepts and differences in my head.

Alas, the GUI I tried - a VSCode plugin - did more to confuse me than to help, and it made it very easy to catastrophically rewrite the history by accident. I tried another UI and it kept failing and leaving me with cleanup work. I couldn't find a third UI that looked promising.

So, I gave up. One less jj user on the planet - no biggie. But I really wonder if it would be worth the effort for some of the jj pushers to try to get a proper UI in place - I bet I am not the only one that likes to learn visually.

Did the private equity buy the domain videojs.org (did it take control of the project and you somehow regained control after selling) or was this domain (and the project) always under your control?

Well, whadaya know!

But I bet you didn't know that you can find modern pro hiking shoes that are even heavier than the old ones they recreated!

You can choose similar sites by index.

But what are the criterion to have your site listed here, or how it will prevent this from just becoming a massive gamified advertising index, or anything more about "why these?" is not obvious to me.

Can anyone explain what is special about these sites specifically, or where this project is going?

There are many reasons why people are introverts. Some of them are "broken" and could use a fix, some are healthy and should not be touched.

If the source is a lack of confidence, it should be dealt with. Sometimes the fix involves pushing oneself to talk beyond their comfort level, sometimes not.

If the source is a form of ASD or Autism spectrum, then it depends very much on what the "introvertness" is costing them. If the person is either suffering or is living out of touch with reality, that's broken. Sometimes talking is absolutely required to create a fix. (Over here, even more-so, getting guidance is a must. Which is a shame since the more a person on the spectrum needs guidance the less he is likely to accept it)

If the source is an understanding of one's relative position (eg. at a meeting of seniors) then that's fine, but too much of that can be unhealthy.

If it's from depression, than please don't introvert. Get professional help.

If you are so into your phone that you've forgotten the joy of interaction with humans, that's broken. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in this category, and social media and AI are making things worse. (Nothing new though - 30 years ago I helped a kid who was watching 18+ hours of video, on a CRT! He was mighty introverted, and wanted nothing to do with us humans for weeks after starting treatment.)

If you are just a confident guy/gal that just happens to enjoy your own space, than all the power to you! From what I have heard there are a LOT of people that fall into this category, and I have even meet two or three of you!

But let me stress, even if things are broken, the advice in this article can often make things worse. And if it's not a problem for you, enjoy!

Are there any other FrankenProjects out there that have had any success?

Were we so impressed by the concept of the original Frankenstein?

Is this a Freudian slip, that we are expecting these AI projects to turn on their creators?

Seeing insane investments (in time/effort/knowledge/frustration) like this make me enjoy HN!!

(And there is always the hope that someone at AMD will see this and actually pay you to develop the thing.. Who knows)

And, yup, there is Gemini in item 3!

Which is a shame, because this is a project that could have had potential, but a poor name goes a long way towards discouraging it being taken seriously.

BUT the fact that we are even arguing about whether or not we should be putting data centers into space is so incredibly absurd to someone who watched the Challenger explode and assumed that space wouldn't be ventured into again in my lifetime.

People don't realize how much the priors have changed. Take a minute to appreciate that. We are living in a world where people are debating if it makes sense to spend a bazillion dollars to put a hard disk into orbit.

I wonder if the Klingons are good at cyber warfare.

Do we know if these were used more than once, or if they were in a convenient shape that was grabbed by a local for one time use?

How do we know that these were actually used as tools and not just pieces of wood that coincidentally in the site?

Do we have any reason to think these were used by (precursor to) humans more than ravens, beavers or any other number of animals that use tools?

Because of the paywall I could not read the whole article, but the pictures and intro leave a lot unanswered.

Some of my (extended) neighbors are members of a family that live near each other. One sister bought a Tesla. The brother who lived down the block laughed at her because politics. Despite that, within a year he had bought one as well. Their parents test drove it a few times and were critical about how it drove weird. But now, after about 9 months, their father mentioned in passing that he ordered one. Another brother mentioned that he would sell his Maxus for a Tesla if he could afford to.

Until recently, one had a Chevy, one a Hyundai, one a Maxus and one an ancient Subaru.

I have never seen such buy-in with any other brand, and that is despite the toxicity of the Tesla CEO. I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.
