I threw potatoes into the back part of my yard without burying them or tending them in any way and they did quiet well. Ended up dying from a freeze, I think I will throw them more strategically next time.

True, because then it feels more intentional (+ the extra strategy). It was definitely a bit thrown together- atm I only ever use it when I need a bit of practice before playing codenames.

I made one where you play with the AI a few years back instead of AI v AI but never posted it anywhere if anyone wants to try, just updated it to gpt-4o-mini https://wordswithrobots.isotropic.us/

I more meant like now you can bot word or story type multiplayer games too e.g. if you were designing a codenames or a mafia style party game or something. 95% of the time though ya you are just doing basic AI logic, go towards objective, attack nearby enemies, avoid nearby danger, etc

>you just depend on everyone you know for play testing constantly

I had this problem, didn't figure out the solution till the end of the project- it's bots. Even bad bots are HUGELY important for multiplayer game development because now you can iterate every second instead of every week. I thought bots would be too hard to make for my game, but they really weren't as they don't even have to be good. With LLMs i'm fairly sure almost any type of game can be botted at this point too.

Wasn't aware of dnsmasq/pihole, I have a BIND9 configured to do it on my network and yeah its much nicer. I've seen people get bit by this all the time in college and still even now join projects with like weird hosts file usage. Instead of having 3 different systems for apple/ms/linux name resolution that don't interop the problem is better fixed higher up.

>Are there any good reasons to use a TLD like .internal for private-use applications, rather than just a regular gTLD like .com?

These local TLDs should IMO be used on all home routers, it fixes a lot of problems.

If you've ever plugged in e.g. a raspberry pi and been unable to "ping pi" it it's because there is no DNS mapping to it. There are cludges that Windows, Linux, and Macs use to get around this fact, but they only work in their own ecosystem, so you often can't see macs from e.g. windows, it's a total mess that leads confusing resolution behaviour, you end up having to look in the router page or hardcode the IP to reach a device which is just awful.

Home routers can simply assign pi into e.g. pi.home when doing dhcp. Then you can "ping pi" on all systems. It fixes everything- for that reason alone these reserved TLDs are, imo, useful. Unfortunately I've never seen a router do this, but here's hoping.

Also, p. sure I grew up playing wc3 w you?

Mine takes 50ms, assuming wsl is hot (recorded screen and compared mouse click frame to window pop up frame). I think op should try a different wsl distro or a blank machine and compare differences. I have on access scanning off, performance on, Ubuntu wsl distro, and windows 10.

Frontier airlines literally wouldn't let me check in to my flight back without paying 25$, I would just get a loading bar if I didn't select a seat.

I tried every trick in the book, but in the end only dev console could save the day. It was a null reference exception on not buying a bundle...

Ive got a small console app that I made and it accepts snippets, that way I can use the appropriate snippet when needed. My most common one is:

ss: |system| Answer as many different ways as you can. Each answer should be short and sweet. No more than a line. Assume each previous answer failed to solve the problem. |user|

So "ss how to center a div" would give you code for flexbox, css grid, text align, absolute positioning etc.

In general I am using AI for syntax questions like "how can I do X in language Y" or getting it to write scripts. Honestly, often the default is pretty good.

>I'd tweak the script; then to see the results I would press F5 to run the already built binary and wait over a second EVERY SINGLE TIME (about 1480ms).

I put in a bug report for this years ago but it got ignored :( https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/137066

Vscode has gotten slower over time. It's true you can't get nanosecond performance out of JS, but anything under 17ms should be trivial. I believe the vscode developers are skilled, it's just they don't care (imo) enough about performance for whatever reason, and that's a shame.

It's impressive that transformers, diffusion, and human generated data can go so far in robotics. I would have expected simulation would be needed to achieve such results.

My fear is that we see a similar problem with other generative AI in that it gets stuck in loops on complex problems and is unable to correct itself because the training data covers the problem but not the failure modes.

>AI will shrink workforces within five years, say company execs... The wide-ranging poll of 2,000 executives, conducted by Swiss staffing firm Adecco Group in collaboration with research firm Oxford Economics, showed that 41% of them expect to employ fewer people because of the technology.

Isn't that the opposite of the title? ~60% of execs then don't expect this? Also, the execs don't really clarify what "fewer people" means, could be .001% fewer people.

Hrm there probably is, but the pio commands don't have addition so the integration part of the delta sigma modulator could be trouble. You could preprocess but it would create enormous files.

I did do a delta sigma using the pios but fed via cpu, essentially used just a look up table of amplitudes that fed a bitstream into the pios to get a psuedo 133 MSPs dac.

I accidentally wiped the drives on my server last year, but it wasn't so bad due to my setup.

My strat is having a deploy.ps1 script in every project folder that sets the project up. 80% of the time this is making the vm, rcloning the files, and installing/starting the service if needed. Roughly 3ish lines, using custom commands. Takes about 100ms to deploy assuming the vm is up. Sometimes the script gets more complicated, but the general idea is that whatever system I use under the covers, running deploy.ps1 will set it up, without internet, without dependencies, this script will work until the heat death of the universe.

After losing everything I reran the deploys (put them into a list) and got everything back.

I'm with you on some of the routing setups, mine aren't 100% documented either. I think my router/switch config is too complex honestly and I should just tone it down.

NP! I like it too :D

Thank you! Yes, only one solution.

I will try to fix this, sounds frustrating. Most likely I will change the default to what yall suggest and keep the way it works now as a settings option just for me because my muscle memory can't handle the change ha.

TY. I am a fan of 7x7 with 5 stones, 8x8 I need to revisit (I haven't tried 8x8 with stones, was playing without stones for a while but they add a lot to the game).

Absolutely yes-

Funny story, originally it was generating 10kish tilings for a 6x6 board with 2 stones. but when I moved one of the stones over we would get... 0. WHAT? Apparently there is an entire field about dominoes (of course) and I had stumbled into something called the "Mutilated Chessboard Problem". It's impossible to tile a chessboard that has the top left and bottom right square removed. 62 open squares, doesn't matter, it's untilable. Crazy. Many boards are like this.

There is actually a very neat proof as to why, too. Placing a domino tile removes 1 black and 1 white square. So if you have e.g. 10 black and 12 white squares you're done for, you will always end up with the 0 black squares and 2 white squares remaining. With this intuition I was able to speed up the generator by skipping these types of boards.

As for it's implementation, it is a bit brute force, it recurses over a 64 bit bitboard to find all the possible domino tilings for a particular board, using bitwise operators for moves. I then use the 01 02 domino values and group them by the row/column numbers, so I can eliminate multiple solutions (less fun imo). There are definitely trillions of tilings, so after calculating all of them for a particular board and shuffling them only the first N are stored and then saved to a sqlite database.

Yey these comments are making me smile.

A bit of both, made a generator that spits out games and then I played 10 procedurally generated levels and picked the ones I liked.

In general my favorite levels are the 7x7 with 5 stones, you can legit logic them out if you are patient. I only put in one since it takes quite a bit of practice to get to that point.

Tyvm :D. There should be a colorblind mode in the settings (hotkey combo is szs). There's a kid I want to show the game to but he's colorblind too.

TYVM! Ok, fixed up the tutorial. The domino shadow is a good suggestion, hope I can put it in before the wife gets back from her trip

>Now ERCOT has warned there is a 14.4 percent chance it will need to employ controlled outages in December, with the estimate rising to 16.8 percent in January.

No, it said that if we had the exact same disaster storm THEN we would then have a 14.4% chance of a rolling blackout at 8am. The odds of this storm could be 2% for all we know.

Heres the report:

https://www.ercot.com/files/docs/2023/10/10/MORA_December202...

I assume our odds are better due to the winterization we put in.

The picture on figure 4 of this paper rules out ferromagnetism, assuming it's legit https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.01516.pdf

He doesn't provide an actual counterargument,he just says he doesn't like the data without explaining why.

His earlier comment that graphite can do the same thing is untrue afaict. Graphite can repel the magnetic field but it would slide off, this is why in diamagnetic experiments multiple magnets are used to keep it in place. In the video it doesnt seem to be sliding anywhere, so imo the video is not showing diamagnetism.

https://sciencecast.org/casts/suc384jly50n

Edit: Actually, now I'm not so sure, it does seem like it's held in place by one corner which is always pointing towards the outside of the magnet, so maybe it is just diamagnetism. If anyone has some pyrolytic carbon and wants to try it out?

Edit2: 99% of YouTube videos on diamagnetism have multiple magnets, the only one I could find that has diamagnetism on one pole magnets shows it not working:

https://youtu.be/D-tW8_SRW3g

I think it's more than just pyrolytic carbon

Can anyone recommend other rabbit hole videos like the parents? It can be in any topic. I love these types of videos that show just how deep things are.

https://youtu.be/_hjRvZYkAgA is my current favorite.

My guess is that there was an error during quantization that resulted in a large amount of the weights not properly being used. A potential test would be to compare the number of page faults between quantized an unquantized model and confirm they are roughly the same proportionally. This could also explain how e.g. gpt4all seem to notice better performance on unquantized weights when there really shouldn't be.

Are you using the API endpoint or browser chatgpt? I tried it 5 times via API and it works and then 2 times via the browser and it doesn't work. They are different models.

If you are using the API try lowering the temperature mb?

Texas is more wind focused too (24% wind vs 6% solar) which is better for the local economy. 80% of solar panels come from china.

Supposedly you can test for this using a wifi device since the frequencies are similar so I threw this together https://ismymicrowaveleaking.isotropic.us if anyone wants to try it. No clue how accurate it is, seems to work for my sample size of 2 microwaves. Phone had to be on 2.4ghz wifi or the signal was unaffected.
