if you used to email me at lonestar, that address no longer works.
Your "papers" have only a single author and no current citations. It is not clear you are able to work with other people. The papers claim to offer results but no theory about why those results are the best possible. They read like sales whitepapers not scientific work. Reddit comments on the thread you linked to said they weren't able to reproduce your work.
I'm not looking to buy magic beans for my sales team.
There were zero Hebrew Bibles at that time.
The Bologna scroll is found seventy(ish) times in greek and hebrew (and other languages) in the Qumran caves, along with a bunch of other stuff. Each of those times is a greek-literate persons' "bible". And they're all a little different. And they have their own notes in them too. They were probably paid to do it. At least some of them said they were rabbis.
Biblical scholars don't consider "The Septuagint" (Egyptian) to be any single translation and why they use the term "Majority Text" and stuff like that, to justify grouping all that stuff into "their" New Testaments'.
If it were possibly so simple as that, there probably wouldn't be so many forms of christianity.

My software gets done.
The idea that it would suddenly not be done because the compiler upgraded sounds like a potentially limitless amount of future work. Why would I want to invest in something that promises that?
I’m surprised it got my timezone and location wrong. I’m less surprised they miscounted the number of speakers and my brand of gpu so confidently.
A big problem with being so wrong is I can’t use this to show anyone how tracking works online, because this is nothing like how tracking is actually done on line.
On the other hand, it’s a great advertisement for Apple.
I've got an emacs uptime measured in years, so I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm happy that you're happy.
What are you talking about?
You can do it in the background with:

and periodically update the latency parameters to be just over your natural typing speed.
Ain’t no way you read one 100 page paper let alone two with enough understanding to make such a claim.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
The most uncomfortable piece is where he shows screenshots “proving” his earnestness is unrewarded instead of the chats that are actually being complained about.
That he does so with tremendous gymnastics is perhaps soothing to investors, but every researcher I show this post to today says “see I knew ‘AI’ would steal my research”
So yeah, maybe we are reading different things.
It's always been a thing: We programmed on paper before we had screen editors, and so early screen editors have always had a way to murder trees on demand:
In vi it's :ha
In emacs it's M-x print-buffer
> It has been a while since I printed a plain text file, but I guess there's still a similar command available with some research.
`lp myfile.txt`
I still prefer using hardcopy for reading/debugging.
Nonsense. The core reason to enforce trademarks is to prove that you have it.
The yo-yo used to be a trademark too, but the problem was what else do you call it? If the "owner" of a trademark cannot defend it, they don't have it. That's how trademark law is very different than copyright (which is implicit and automatic): You can lose a trademark even if you register it and popularise it, if you can't prove that the trademark represents your actual trade.
> [I think] the trademark should hold for as long as a reasonable person can be confused by the new Twitter regardless of people's dislike towards Elon.
That's your opinion man. Thankfully the law doesn't work that way.
I don't even know whether you mean X (the new thing that was once twitter) or tweet (the new thing that claims to will-be what twitter once was)
> I may be biased because I still go to Twitter via twitter.com.
and that didn't help in the slightest, but domain squatting is very common on the Internet.
If you have an LLM add 2+2, it is doing a tremendous number of additions and multiplications it doesn't have to, same as us, and I am not sure the LLM can answer any more questions about that process than we can about ourselves.
> We're not machines. We can't do thousands of Monte Carlo tree searches per second.
You sound so sure of that, but I have seen people catch a ball, and I am not so sure that any artificial person should be any more aware of the tremendous maths they are "solving"
From the perspective of a game with far fewer rules, "trying to imitate AI" might not mean anything like what you are thinking.
When someone sells "ads" they are selling the placement itself. When advertisers buy this, they use "AdWords" or "Doubleclick for Advertisers".
Many DFP users got a checkbox one day permitting Google to sell ads and checked this. As a result, Google was able to outcompete _every_ ad publisher, and now "ad tech" doesn't make money buy "ads" does.
Google is right that they cannot separate them, but is lying about why: Neither unit would be profitable without the monopoly, because quite frankly if someone else could sell ads without sucking a ton of money off the top to make a failing self-driving car company, they would and simply win on price.
You can look all this stuff up yourself.
Azure's cost of revenue is someplace between 14% (Productivity and Business Processes) and 36% (Intelligent Cloud). Software is 1%.
Looks to me like Software pays for the whole thing.
But we still have snow: remember rowhammer? Basically snow on purpose. So I'm not so worried that kids will lose knowledge of analog effects just because we don't have CRTs anymore.
Great. Which one is sending a "do I know this person?" message to my friend?
Because it _used_ to be taking a screenshot.
> Taking a screenshot of the screen is not necessary.
Who are you to tell me what is necessary?
Seriously. What the fuck.
Someone who takes a screenshot of something, and gets anything other than a screenshot is potentially being harmed in ways you don't understand, and you say it isn't necessary like you know that or something?
Your banking app probably has an option to disable that because it's a legal requirement in so many places: People who can't see need to use assistive tools, and that includes screenshots and friends. If you are using a tiny/stupid bank in the US, file a ADA claim and get some money. In the EU check your Ombudsman.
No, it's so you can't screen-record Netflix. The bank doesn't care about that because it's not a liability issue to them, just fetishism; no way they pay Apple and Google for this capability.
Apple and Google should step in and allow users to remove these shenanigans with a little button on the screenshot preview screen, but resist this because of Netflix et al.
Until then you can also use a tool called SVGATextMode to set the registers and get 80x50 or even a 160x100. I still think text-mode is great. I don't know very much about FreeBSD; I last used OpenBSD almost 20 years ago. Before Linux my unix was Solaris or SCO.
These days, I have a tegra (nvidia arm64) system and it still has a x86 vga bios in there(!!!) so linux actually ships an x86 emulator to "read" the outb/w instructions. Amazing.
You can check!

No magic I can see.
> basically by copying whatever glyphs would be under/around the mouse cursor to each sacrificial replacement glyph and dynamically drawing a fraction of a mouse cursor over each, and then writing the magic text chars to the text buffer.
Exactly correct.
> legacy FreeBSD text console
I never knew that. I wrote one for Linux because I like the visual feedback of what row I'm on by the mouse cursor changing.
What are you thinking of?
And maybe if you are a text mode linux user who liked Impulse Tracker, you will also enjoy this: https://github.com/geocar/mm/
In some systems functions are smaller, since they're gate addresses in a jump table (who has more than 64k functions?), so that's no problem.
But in some systems functions are bigger, and PCDOS systems running in real mode this was very common, and in those cases you'd need to get the extra bits from someplace else (union trick), or just design things another way.
The program that does this is called cproto and it was available back on comp.sources.unix as early as 1989 (if you find yourself with a time machine) and these days is available on nearly every Linux distro.
I would not think of SQLite as "lite" anything. It's SQL In The Executable.
It has a better security and data-durability track record than both Postgres and MySQL, and often beats them in the sorts of things applications do with databases:
> it's often pushed into places where it's being asked to do things it was never really designed for
https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html
https://sqlite.org/hirely.html
Seems like it absolutely is "designed" for this use case.
It's not so much work with the right tool: I have a button on my kettle that does exactly that, and another button that will use a little thermostat to keep it warm. Works great.
