You can absolutely tune causal LLMs. In fact the original idea with GPTs was that you had to tune them before they'd be useful for anything.

Only tribes that value rule of law can sustain it. Many tribes prefer to form states like Mexico or India so they must be excluded if you want to maintain the rule of law.

Yup. The GPL is the software version of a union. You know it works because of how aggressively companies like Apple avoid and hate it.

There is not a single problem competent developers have that unions would solve and in many cases they would exacerbate the ones we do have.

Most of the issue is that there's too much administrative policy (whether the imposition is internal or external doesn't matter) for us to effectively communicate and collaborate. Unions would only add to that while collecting fees from us. Most of us are intelligent enough to know this which is why we never form them.

The same argument applies to someone who learned from the book and wrote an article explaining the idea to someone else.

Yeah inform 7 really feels like a regression from inform 6 at least in this way to me. I've been avoiding it.

Completely unsweetened highly concentrated chocolate is great for when you just need to plow through something. I used to do that all the time for last minute homework assignments in college.

Good God I hate CI. Just let me run the build automation myself dammit! If you're worried about reproducibility make it reproducible and hash the artifacts, make people include the hash in the PR comment if you want to enforce it.

The amount of time people waste futzing around in eg Groovy is INSANE and I'm honestly inclined to reject job offers from companies that have any serious CI code at this point.

At some point you have to blame the driver model on Windows. People have been saying "it's the drivers" for 30 years.

Also most of this is intentional first party behavior from Microsoft. Windows intentionally periodically wakes from sleep to do communication (for notifications etc.) Microsoft's advice last I checked is to not store sleeping laptops running windows in laptop bags.

There's a ton of other decisions they've made that just make the OS incredibly unpleasant on any device with mediocre cooling and a battery. That's why I wrote post: is it bad enough yet that it's intolerable.

Is windows even usable on laptops still? Between the waking from sleep to check notifications and the intensity of all the new background tasks it likely isn't pleasant.

I'd be all for that but this is the closest to what I want right now.

I wish the US had an egg futures market the way China does.

I've always hated pop music because something like this was the logical end of it. I'm glad to see it frankly.

In fact I did not qualify for them. Neither did my homebrew EV.

We know we won't be able to stop the rise of "clean energy" and don't want to. I voted for trump and have my own solar array I live off. It's great.

That's why we don't think it needs to be subsidized.

It's not an issue with the actual CGI program. It's hard to make exec alone work the way people expect without doing something like exec('sh', '-c',...) so a lot of servers were doing that.

The scary thing about CGI for me is more the shell insanity than the forking. Although I think after the shell shock RCE most servers probably switched to directly execing the CGI process.

You probably need to calm down a bit. Everyone who has any kind of service on the open internet sees this stuff in their logs all the time. Most of it is entirely automated. That's just how the internet works.

It means that here too. There's no infrastructure where my I'm at. No power, water, there's a very rough private road and that's it. It's very far away from pretty much everyone.

I actually grew up in a place like this (yes they exist in the US) so I know how it goes.

AMD isn't even bad at video games, it's just pytorch that doesn't work so well.

I don't think so. The attention should be able to manage as well as any external RAG tool, possibly better in some cases. It just needs training.

I've actually been experimenting with this with the goal of doing transfer learning for robotics. I'm surprised by how poorly they perform.

I said to buy land, not a house. Houses are ridiculously overpriced for what you get (one housing unit.)

Buy rural land and live on investments while you start a small business. That's what I'm doing.

I think we need a monthly "who wants to be fired" thread where we share our progress on this.

What do you think a "startup incubator" does exactly?

This is why I have a hard rule of just doing everything in the VM for stuff I build. I'm able to move between cloud providers and even self host often with near zero effort because of this.

Did you not understand what YC was? They're essentially an investment bank that doesn't accept new clients. They make money, they're not a charity. Quality only matters insofar as it drives sales and doesn't create liabilities.

I'd say just give me a volume knob but there's almost nothing worth listening to on the radio anyway. I actually yanked the fuse on mine to keep it from draining the battery.

At least with climate controls give me tactile knobs. Of course someone I know got the new tachoma and they made the 4wd switch exactly the same as the AC/fan knobs which is just so fucking insane. It's like whatever process is used to design these interfaces seeks out the worst way to do it given the requirements.

Idk maybe I just want a dune buggy at this point. At least there's no design by committee corporate brain damage I can't rip out of that.

It's odd they don't give you a window manager and just pigeon hole you into a modal UI.

Post 2009 cars regressed in almost every way. It's weird my used Toyota costs less than a third of the latest model.
