> "Before answering, quietly think about whether "

I thought generating text is the only way for GenAI/LLM models to "think".

How exactly does ChatGPT "quietly think"?

Is there text generation happening in layers where some of the generated text is filtered out / reprocessed and fed back into another layer of text generation model before a final output is shown to the user as a respose on UI? So a "thinking" layer separate from a "speaking" layer?

To extend on jefftk's point, the tests have a specific scope (what the code is responsible for), which probably doesn't cover what it is now expected to do after months/years of getting used.

Your code was supposed to calculate the VAT for a list of purchases, but progressively becomes a way to also force update the VAT cache for each product category and will be called in originally unexpected contexts.

BTW this is the same for comments: they'll cover the original intent and side effects, but not what the method/class is used for or actually does way down the line. In a perfect world these comments are updated as the world around them changes, but in practice that's seldom done except if the internal code changes as well.

I'm just thinking aloud here based on your description (and note that I'm a backend/data engineer looking to build data apps with no front end experience), would this integrate well with htmx then since each component is independent?

> Hundreds of studies claim that mindfulness, walking in nature and expressing gratitude make us happier. But a new review found that most of the research papers looking into these strategies are based on small, poorly designed trials, which could make their conclusions unreliable.

> This doesn’t mean these interventions don’t work, but we need much more solid scientific research to prove that they do, says Elizabeth Dunn at the University of British Columbia, Canada.

Uh no, I don't. If taking a nature walk makes me feel better, I'll do it without waiting for proof provided by others. There's also a difference between being happy and feeling good. Being happy is like being excited or laughing or enjoying something really tasty. Feeling good is like the way you feel right after a good yawn. It's not exciting, but it does feel like the absence of 'not good'.

Their blog is great, because they invested heavily in perception from the outside. Coming from the Elixir world, them hiring Chris McCord (creator of Phoenix) and sponsoring a ton of open source projects slapping on their logo, seemed great at first, but when it comes to actually deploying stuff to production and day 2 operations (monitoring is so much more difficult than it should be, and troubleshooting tools are lacking) they are way behind. I can imagine them getting lots of hobby projects on board due to free tier and day 1 impression, but that won’t win over enterprises.

I mean, this is a pretty straightforward issue. porting takes money and labor, and Nintendo's labor is limited. You can suggest outsourcing to 3rd parties, but a bad 3rd party port is worse than no port. Some companies don't care (see: Sega and honestly most Japanese companies until Capcom c. 2016 or so), but Nintendo has generally always had a high bar of quality with the titles they publish, and especially IP's they own.

It's not even a Japanese issue. Every company has this issue, but Nintendo is the oldest game developer. So they get the most flack

Yeah. I mean I avoid microwaving plastic now (or even packing my kids' lunches in it where possible) but in my student days I ate a lot of tv dinners. My kid loves this seasoned rice that comes in a plastic microwaveable cup. Probably should stop her eating that.

mozjpeg automatically handles chroma subsampling, scaling up from 4:2:0 to 4:2:2 & then 4:4:4. WebP is 4:2:0 only, AVIF is 4:4:4 only (as tested) & I believe JXL doesn't subsample at all.

Almost like people just kneejerk react to a bad word but don't understand why they kneejerk.

Sure there are some subteties to a centralized server vs. a distributed ledger, but the core goal is the same: companies want to be a platform owner, allow for generation of some speculative assets for users to trade, and take their cut as a middleman. To my knowledge, it's the middle factor that many have issue with.
It seems like it might be possible to get around this by letting the model emit moves like ` discard last 5` which would also let it keep a history of it's previous branches.
There should be a "global profile" that user can set. And also a bunch of personas that they can pre-define and select from for each chat/session optionally.

> In this post I will describe Use.GPU's text rendering, which uses a bespoke approach to Signed Distance Fields (SDFs). This was borne out of necessity: while SDF text is pretty common on GPUs, some of the established practice on generating SDFs from masks is incorrect, and some libraries get it right only by accident. So this will be a deep dive from first principles, about the nuances of subpixels.

Generally I assume that I consume microscopic inedible dirt/mineral/etc particles all the time without know it and they most likely pass through my digestive system.

What is interesting is that the author's Chrome anecdote is largely a technical solution. People did more on the web. Processors were more powerful. Enabling multi-process browsing was a big step forward. When he talks about his future plans, his discussion seems product-oriented. E.g.

> I imagine a browser that is more than just a browser — that makes it easier for me to create on the web, and easier for me to discover what others have created. I dream of the browser fueling a virtuous cycle between creator and consumer, and ultimately growing the web ecosystem.

As the author himself mentions, browsers are a mature tech. I'm not going to say they're done evolving, but, as a product, they are relatively mature. I think it's going to be hard to innovate here without some type of companion technological breakthrough that will drive new innovations.

> All of the four mentioned use cases are stylistic.

I respectfully disagree.

CSS controls layout of child components within a container, which is not a stylistic use case.

I've used Qt, WxWidgets, Tk, Delphi, VB and more, and none of them treat layout as a characteristic identical in nature to (for example) background-color.

Finagling the layout manager in any UI toolkit uses a very different mechanism from specifying the colors to use.

> Used correctly, conflicting regressions are greatly minified.

Maybe. I dunno if it is reasonable that the human reader can know all the CSS styles and files, and still not be able to tell which style will eventually be applied, because all of them have a '!' somewhere.
> Feel free to give an concrete minimum viable example (including code) where you are struggling with CSS, and I will try to give suggestions.

I'm not really struggling; I find it weird, that is all - I think it is a mixing of concerns when the mechanism used to specify the location of (for example) the major page elements (menubar, leftnav, maincontent, rightnav)is the same as the mechanism to specify the background-color.
Too rich for my blood.
You can have the same cryptographic chain of trust on PCs with Secure Boot enabled. Essentially the attestation is a signed hash of the computing environment, with Microsoft as its root authority in the PC ecosystem. The kernel+boot environment is next, then the system software stack, and finally the executable image. This is exactly what is provided by the trusted execution environment on Android devices, and Google Play is just the trusted arbiter of the software signatures.

> Rather than introduce just the number of particles released by one container, the researchers instead exposed the cells to particle concentrations that infants and toddlers might accumulate over days or from multiple sources.

> After two days, just 23% of kidney cells exposed to the highest concentrations had managed to survive

So they used concentrations that they believe toddlers might accumulate over two days and it killed 3/4 of the kidney cells?

Given that we’re not seeing toddlers around the world have kidney problems after consuming two days worth of micro plastics, let alone multiple years worth, this model doesn’t seem at all representative of real-world outcomes.

Still concerning, but when the results are so far removed from real world observations I don’t know what to make of the whole situation.

I'm the opposite, in my mind it's almost like a CAD program mixed with Photoshop and I have complete control over building and visualizing anything.

Youssef, thank you for bravely posting. I think you have done an amazing job and almost certainly should ignore my feedback.

I would not be interested in lowering fees - as someone who sends but does not collect payments - because of the risk of fraud and the unknown risk of fraud.

Because I don’t carry the cost (your customers do), I would not be interested in doing something that appears to reduce my protections. I think bank transfers, by virtue of being debits from my account instead of essential a PO, are much higher risk on me and my card.

I would almost always use cc instead of a bank transfer for this reason. Unless I knew a company that I bought from was paying crazy fees after I had established a relationship. If my sales POC from $vendor asked me personally to save them some cash, I might consider it.

Grain of salt, but it sounds like you are trying to serve a two sided marketplace and have put all of your focus on one side - because who wouldn’t like to save on the extortionate cc fee?

Yet you need to convince the customer to put their info in. Why would they? What can you offer me to take that risk?
