really wonderful explanation

could you link the HN thread?

Is your spacebar okay?

You click the drop down menu for model selection and choose 4o with scheduled tasks

It really is a great shot. I always daydream of showing today's technology to the great the great minds from centuries ago. Not sure why, but I do.

I don't think so. It seems to just lower the ram needed for the context window. Not for loading the model on the vram.

Same. "Fairly disappointed" would be an understatement.

Great word, TIL.

Thanks for the archive link.

And to your question, It was _never_ customary. It's weird, it's not okay, it's brainwashing, plain and simple. I'm a US citizen, our history is rooted in defeating monarchies and kings. I feel as though this is a rewiring of people's brain by mass media. There are _no_ tsar/czar/tzar/csar in a democracy, period. Full stop.

Does anyone else find the use of 'tsar' off putting?

These are not Roman emperors - not Slavic monarchs, nor kings, or other ecclesiastical officials. They're literally rewriting our culture. These are temporary positions being labelled as kings.

When the settlement cost is just the price of doing business... you know they made many times more than the fine.

This reminded me of an old article I read about this from `Straight Dope` years ago (2006 in fact!)[0].

> Pollution studies in the Los Angeles basin in the 1980s concluded that more than five tons of breathable tire dust were released into the atmosphere there each day, and there’s no reason to think that figure’s gone down since.

People who bought M3 arent the target customers. It's those who jumped into the M architecture first with the M1s.

It sounds like you might benefit from some introspection and mindfulness. Some possible questions to ask yourself (introspection):

1. What are you needing to accomplish before [your time runs out]?

2. What can I do right now, today, that gets me one step closer to accomplish that goal?

In regards to mindfulness, it appears you are living in the future, which hasn't happened yet. Focus on the present moment, because this is all you will ever experience. Which has reminded me of a quote I like:

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it’s called the present.”

Not sure where you are located. If you're lucky enough to live in the US by a Microcenter computer store they often have refurbished NVIDIA cards for very reasonable prices. I picked up a 3090 for $699.

> His incompleteness theorems meant there can be no mathematical theory of everything, no unification of what’s provable and what’s true. What mathematicians can prove depends on their starting assumptions, not on any fundamental ground truth from which all answers spring[0].

So why leave it solely to the mathematicians.

I'm happy for the author, they're growing. The article is basically how they transitioned from passively accepting external truths and making internal judgements to developing their own internal discernment. This shift has transformed how they view the world, tested ideas, and understood people. A technical person "seeing the light" of social interactions and the usefulness of soft-skills in life.

Animals always migrate for food. We're gutting the oceans of food sources. See new animals is exciting, but seeing them in places they have never been before is very telling of the current state of the underlying ecosystem.

> Funny post, pining for the days of old that he never knew.

Agreed. I was born in '83. The author misses the things he never even experienced and is living in the 90s-00s "Highlights" reel.

5" floppy drives. 3" hard disks. Single core computers. 28k dial-up was almost torture. 56k was not much better. Waiting 5-10 minutes for a single picture to load one. pixel. at. a. time. CRT monitors. Trojans. Viruses.

Ahh, the Windows Blue Screen of Death. "hello darkness my old friend."

Yeah, same. I think for me, this is due to focus. Similarly, when someone says, "Don't think of a beach ball." What do you do?
