Yep, I looked it up a few hours after, different branches in the evolution of ML. Still weird to dismiss AlphaZero as just "playing games".

> This meant that while Google was playing games, OpenAI was able to seize the opportunity of a lifetime. What you train on matters.

Very weird reasoning. Without AlphaGo, AlphaZero, there's probably no GPT ? Each were a stepping stone weren't they?

Wild to learn this is the same company selling MSG (mono sodium glutamate) and build up film

I meant "empty" of actual information. I'll guess there'll be more on the date. But for now that's just weird and suspect, trying to raise hype for a security related announcement ? weird and suspect

Nothing to talk about, empty big black scary page.

FYI, maybe for you and other readers. My key to really understanding clap's derive macro was to understand that the macros takes as argument every methods of clap's Command struct https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/struct.Command.html

Looking at this resolved most of my issues about discoverability.

A routine gesture I've done everyday for almost all my life: getting a glass out of the shelves and into my left hand. It seems like a no brainer, I open the cabinet with my left hand, take the glass with my right hand, throw the glass from my right hand to the left hand while closing the cabinet with my shoulder. Put the glass under the faucet with left hand, open the faucet with the right hand.

I have done this 3 seconds gesture, and variations of it, my whole life basically, and never noticed I was throwing the glass from one hand to the other without any visual feedback.

I find this article from the New Yorker to satisfy my own intellectual curiosity. I think that's the wording in the guidelines on what to submit on this site.

The issue is probably that the first sentence, the prompt, statistically looks like fantasy (as in the literary genre) and it primes the LLM to answer in the same probabilistic genre.

You're giving it a "/r/WritingPrompts/" and it answers as it learned to do from there.

From what I understand the gloves are only used on case-by-case basis. For some items they are more damaging than the oils from our (washed and dried) hands.

What about the not-LLMs works?

I know barely anything about it but it seems some people are interested and excited about protein engineering powered by neural networks.

Not a couple of sentences

I wonder if the feature could be added to serde itself and gated behind a feature flag.

Or firefox and chromium ubuntu desktop

It doesn't surprise me much that this was written by the same author as "Parse, don't validate", very well written

Months ago I was trying to debug why this[0] solver didn't quite work. If someone wants to spend some time debugging it, you're welcome to it.

It's a Rust compile time Sudoku solver. It solves the almost complete puzzle, not the "real" puzzle.

I also had a great success with LASIK, but it wasn't invented before his death.

It's like they don't speak the same languages.

Why would it be for sale in the first place

That way of thinking starts from a place that is not conducive to a long term ecological healthy society.

> Were they designed intentionally as such or this that an outcome of history?

Both. And with different constraints at different time periods.

Aside, people in the past weren't stupid and they built cities purposefully. Just like cavemen weren't stupid, they just had less _stuff_, knowledge, tools, etc.

> In any case what value does this "norm" have?

Using less fuel. Enjoying a more healthy body and mind, enjoying life. Leaving a better world for its future inhabitants.

> You would prefer to walk around a city because it's that's dense as opposed to walking around nature that's specifically set aside for this type of enjoyment?

Strawman ("because it's that dense"). I like walking in cities AND nature. Both can be true.

Also, why should nature be "set aside"? What a weird notion. Why shouldn't we have more "nature" in our cities, in fact we know it's probably better to do exactly that, for a myriad of reasons that have been scientifically researched. Why should WE "set aside" nature, as if it was somehow external to us.

I thought your earlier thread on URLO very interesting https://users.rust-lang.org/t/game-dev-in-rust-some-notes-on...

Nope it's right. Consider that our atmosphere is a balancing act which we're just tipping.

The implicit here is "business/for profit" KPIs.

Fascinating how we (society) have let KPIs get into research/education and healthcare.

I failed a number of technical interviews because I can't make architecture diagrams.

I come out of the first tech interview, coding/debugging, with praises. But then comes the second, the architecture interview, and I can't for the life of me draw the architecture of anything.

I don't know how people learn to do that, I've learned to code/debug by being obsessive about it. But I don't see how that happens for system architecture.

I've never used diagrams in my day-to-day work, so when it comes up in interviews I'm always surprised.

As far as I know, the gulags never went away[1]. The secret police's status, by its very nature, is unknown.

What I do/used to do is to replace the 'a' in my firstname with the cyrillic 'а'. And then I have a short JS snippet to highlight every div with that char.

It's invisible but it does have the "downside" that I no longer appear in search results when searching my firstname.

Yes, that's about my sentiment as well
