We are using deno to allow our customers to run custom code with imports. This is only made possible with http imports and I for one am very happy it exists.

Does anyone know the impact of the prompt size in terms of throughput? If I'm only generating 10 tokens, does it matter if my initial prompt is 10 tokens or 8000 tokens? How much does it matter?

As a fellow bike lover, this was very emotional to read. I am a shit rider, but I think about my bike all the time lol. It really is everything to me.

Why does it seem off? It's hard to measure calories when running, but with cycling we have power meters which are incredibly precise, and you will burn around 700 calories an hour (as a beginner). Trained athletes can burn maybe double of that.

I am fairly certain I know the answer to this. They normally do these kind of studies on untrained humans, because the point is to prescribe (or not) exercise to people who need to lose weight, which are typically not athletes. The anecdotal success comes from people who play sports (tautologically). The problem is you cannot compare across these two groups because the metabolism and sheer volume of exercise is not comparable. Even a semi serious athlete will put in 5-6 hours of intense training a week. And their bodies are much more efficient, so they can burn way more calories in the same time. This is NOT the same as “Brisk walk and lift some weights 3-4 times a week” they prescribe the study group in a study of untrained athletes. Not even close.

I’m gonna try this one out with actual people (jk im not actually that kind of person)

So the extension is not even released? And Facebook didn’t actually say its illegal? They are preemptively trying to get a court to affirm its legality? Why? Is there a record of Facebook suing similar extensions?

It does. I'm saying collecting things (buying things) is a lame hobby.

I also spend most of my life with my fingers on keys, and I actually do own a nice mechanical keyboard I bought almost 10 years ago. Isn't the point of these things that they last forever? How come nobody's hobby is collecting mattresses? Check out any "keyboard youtuber". I can promise you they probably own more keyboards than the number of words they type in a day

I didn't say owning a keyboard is bad.

Sure. I own a mechanical keyboard for work, too. I also own a comfortable mattress and a watch and some plates and spoons. They are not hobbies.

I didn't say building keyboards

Collecting keyboards is one of the dumbest “hobbies” in reddit-land. Up there with collecting knives and guns and “EDC”. There is no skill involved, no physical or mental challenges, no cultural or aesthetic enrichment. Just fucking spending money on things that you will never actually use.

Good lord. Moderator, pls get this garbage propaganda out of here.

30k civilians dead with minimal Hamas casualties. It’s a new standard all right.

Just replying to save this amazing comment.

idk, i love Tic-80 way more. For me, the better aspect ratio, ability to use a different language, and not having to use a custom lua stdlib wins out

Absolutely a joy to read. Reminds me of "Consider the Lobster" by David Foster Wallace. She also covers cycling, and let me tell you that skewering teams and sponsors is the norm in cycling journalist, so I'm not sure why people have to be so deferential in motorsport. Actually I do know. It's cause they are rich ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

huh?

woah, haha

it compiles to SQL so no extra powers. But it does make some common patterns more succinct. They have good documentation on the website.

Personally, I was very excited about using it to write some complex queries in my application that does some fancy backtesting with sliding windows etc, but I reverted back to SQL pretty quickly because I found myself first thinking in SQL and translating back to PRQL :/

sugar is not actually good for you does not follow from it being a disaccharide. AFAIK when controlling for calories sucrose and fructose are no worse than any other form of carb, and controlling for calories carbs are no worse than fat. In fact they are much better in certain cases (like doing more than minimal amounts of cardio)

Are you okay?

Perfect, thank you

But what is it? An IDE?

What an effing clown. Just stop tweeting for 2 minutes and maybe you won’t embarrass yourself so often.

> No need to resort to using your phone as a computer.

I think you don't understand what it's like where I come from (India). Everyone has an android phone. Even kids who have never seen a laptop in their lives. If I was one of those kids, it would be quite unimaginable to go out and acquire a computer just to start programming. If I can just get started on my phone the barrier to entry is 10x lower.

I agree with the overall thrust of your argument, but I disagree with this one somewhat:

> Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter possesses some degree of consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.

An even simpler first few steps:

* We experience matter, but we aren't sure if matter exists outside of our experience of it

* Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter exists only within our consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.
