That’s not just ML, that’s linear algebra. Moreover, across fields in math, the dimension of an object is defined differently, but it’s always a very fundamental property of an object that captures loosely how complex an object is. Often, that complexity is related to how many numbers you need to describe said object.
It operates on the exact same principle. So, no.

This is exactly my experience.

The answers themselves aren't too different from ChatGPT 3.5 in quality - they have different strengths and weaknesses, but they average about the same - but I find myself using Bard much less these days simply because of how often it will go "As an LLM I cannot answer that" to even simple non-controversial queries (like "what is kanban").
I have a strange feeling that Mark was a Marine.
I don't know.

But I also didn't ask it anything about prompts, or about dates - only asked it to repeat the conversation and it came up with exactly the date of today (how does it know???) and the additional cutoff date information (why did it hallucinate Jan 2022?)

And in the second example, it was accurate at showing me my own custom-instruction prompts with something that looks like an OpenAI preamble. I don't know that it is exact, but it would be a good assumption imho.

I have heard estimates of 100 million trees dead in the Harz. The common refrain is that this was caused by climate change, but also choice of monoculture was a major contributing factor as the area was historically covered by mixed deciduous. Furthermore, choice of forest type will affect soil moisture retention, so reduced rainfall would have been buffered by better choice of forest type.

Loss of those trees was an economic disaster. I’m not sure it’s an environmental disaster yet - especially as replanting seems to be with better reference to the agro-climatic zone.

Well, the MD I linked to in [2] above, claims that it's more precise for HRV IIRC.

It is repeated and repeated again that because there aren't as many women as men in IT, there must be some kind of badness going on.

I use Kagi's FastGPT (which is really Anthropic Claude I think) for queries I have only a fuzzy idea of how I should put it into words.

As others have stated, asking it yes/no questions is not really a use case though.
The point is that there is no “strongest” theory. Different theories are different maps. There is no perfect map, at that point it is no longer a map but territory.

Hey HN friends!

I've taken `fx` back to the drawing board and completely rewritten it from the ground up. Excited to share what's new:

1. *Going Big*: `fx` now gracefully handles even the most massive JSON files.

2. *A New TUI Look*: Dive deep into your data with a revamped terminal interface—now with themes!

3. *Swift Navigation with Dig Fuzzy Search*: Feeling lost in JSON? Just type `.` and navigate with ease.

4. *Powerful Regex Search*: Scan across your entire JSON content with precision.

5. *Elegant Long String Wraps*: No more cut-offs. Your strings wrap beautifully now.

6. *All Things JSON*: Added love for comments, trailing commas, and JSON streams.

Pouring my heart and soul into this rewrite has been a journey to make `fx` faster and more powerful. If you find value in what I've crafted and want to support its future, consider sponsoring on GitHub.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
The problems with documentation is one, organizing and keeping them up to date is another, and... actually reading it is the other thing. I'm guilty of that myself, because I already assume the documentation will be out of date. But so does everyone else, thinking it's pointless to write something down because it's easier to just ask someone else.
My very limited understanding (speaking only as a professional software developer but not a game developer) is that there’s very rarely an abstraction that’s common across multiple libraries in the same domain, or that, in order to make an abstraction that could be adapted to different libraries, you would have to give up a significant amount of performance.

This is the key. The prosecutions were all "private prosecutions" by the post office, in which a private entity begins (and sometimes carries through to end) a prosecution _on behalf of the people_.

There is an enormous amount of incredible litigation behaviour by the post office in this case. The problem for them is: it all came to trial in the end and its there for everyone to read in painful detail.

Here is, for example, the post office trying to remove the judge in the case after it all started unraveling:

https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2019/871.html

And in 929 of https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2019/3408.html the Judge writes of Post office senior officers refusal to accept to flaws of Horizon even very late in the game:

"This approach by the Post Office has amounted, in reality, to bare assertions and denials that ignore what has actually occurred, at least so far as the witnesses called before me in the Horizon Issues trial are concerned. It amounts to the 21st century equivalent of maintaining that the earth is flat. "

ChatGPT has other failure modes. When a question doesn't have an answer written down somewhere, it really struggles. A case is something like "how do I write a parquet file in Java without using Hadoop".

This not at all trivial but quite possible[1], but ChatGPT will in 100% of the time either hallucinate APIs, disregard the instructions to not use Hadoop or give otherwise plausible but incorrect-looking answers.

The trick is that it isn't doable by simply finding the correct dependencies and API calls, you need extract and override filesystem classes from the Hadoop project to cut those ties.

In some tree monocultures, you can just see the soil is covered with layers of organic matter that just isn't decomposing fast enough. This is because there isn't the diversity in the soil food web required to process it, reflecting the lack of biodiversity above the ground. Such soils often have a very low ph and poor nutrient cycling.

Question: What was the most devastating event in January 2022?

GPT3:
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information on events that occurred after my last knowledge update in September 2021. To find information on the most devastating event in January 2022, I recommend checking the latest news sources or conducting an online search for the specific event you are interested in.

GPT4:
As of my last update in September 2021, I cannot provide real-time or the most recent information. However, one of the most notable events in January 2022 was the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga. The eruption caused widespread damage, generated a significant tsunami that affected the surrounding areas including Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia, and severely disrupted communication networks. It was a catastrophic event with serious implications for the people of Tonga and its environment.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to reliable and up-to-date resources or news outlets. Keep in mind that the situation might have evolved, and new developments might have occurred since January 2022.

It can be done though, if anyone that has a balcony or a back yard were to look after a tray of seedlings (25 or so trees?) until they're ready to be planted, it'd quickly add up. The challenge then becomes logistics though. But again, can be done with volunteers.
Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.

Example of a game framework: http://www.monogame.net.

Still, if you don't map everything all the time, common value types will propagate through the codebase.
so the 'Stealthy' feature works then. handy if you eject over non-friendly territory, at least it would buy some time.
There shouldn't be any differences with how you want to set things up for local vs production telemetry (in fact all our users test locally typically before pushing it out to staging/prod).

Of course if your local/prod run completely different and require different instrumentation, that might be trickier.

> Considerably less well known—in his native UK especially—is William Henry Fox Talbot

I'm really not sure about the premise of this article. Fox-Talbot is not especially unknown in the UK, if anything I'd say he was actually pretty well known here.

As a child I can definitely remember seeing BBC TV programmes like Blue Peter celebrating his work.

If you'd have asked me as a child who invented photography I probably would have said his name because that's what we were taught.

I might have known the name Louis Daguerre was involved somehow in an early rival process but I would have also known that modern photography (at the time) was based on Fox-Talbot's concept of the negative.

Aluminium recycling actually works great, recycled aluminium is 95% less energy expensive and some 75% of aluminium comes from recycling. (1)

Steel could also be recycled like that, I guess ships are a lot more difficult to cut apart and melt down than cars, because they are heavier and larger (citation needed). At any rate, we put a lot of resources and energy into the steel for cars, maybe we should use that steel as much as possible instead of putting more energy into more steel.

>Godot & Unity have the advantage of pushing the game development to the editor instead of the code.

Indeed, but even Unity isn't known for its high performance 3D titles. It COULD viable do them, but not without a lot of work.

That was supposed to be something that DOTS would address, to take out "a lot of work" and make that performance almost be taken for granted. But... well, I don't want to go on that rant again. You can excuse some performance and optimize later, but the sounds of things from this article (with general sentiments even from diehard Godot fans that Godot isn't ready or serious 3D development) makes it sound like that optimizing will in fact exceed the content creation time.

I've seen enough of the guts to know that Godot will likely never make its own DOTS. At least, not its own Burst compiler to get around the c# issues. Likely not IL2CPP either. Fortunately, you don't need that and can get maybe 80% of the performance by simply following some data oriented principles. More than enough for all but the most lofty AAA games (think GTA6 levels of scale).

----

>Mind you, Godot people are working on optimizing engine performance (see my other comment) because they kind of rushed Godot 4 release.

that's good to hear, and I get it (Unity rushed out tons of features itself. Including DOTS). I hope I can one day contribute to that effort myself. Would make my future game dev life much easier and would be a good way to give back.
Based on the article you’ve linked, which is from Dec 29th 2021, this answer is wrong.

It's more like "free 0.5", not "free 2.0". MIT and other permissive licences are basically "free more me, but maybe not for you". There is only one possible reason that you want to reserve the right to restrict the freedom of others: you plan to restrict the freedom of others.

As evidenced by how it's seemingly running fine on Windows Vista using whatever version of Access that is, either:

A) Any newer version of Access should be able to at least open that thing fine.

B) Whatever version of ancient Access that will open that should run just fine on Windows 11.

There are a lot of issues with FSF's perspective and the way they were written down. Running GNU derivative in a proprietary cloud is one of them. RedHat (in)ability to make a fair profit is another. Still Google's Linux "theft" led to more openness in Android than Apple's BSD Unix rip off.

Regardless of the license chosen, sustainability of open source is a problem. (I'm still baffled by the absence of government sponsoring; why do governments around the globe continue to spend billions on proprietary IT infrastructure, databases, and desktop computers?!)

Not sure if yet another license is the answer, but yes we could do with a new model of what "free" and openness entails.
MIT predates GNU.

GNU only took off due to AT&T wanting back the money they weren't allowed to charge for UNIX during its early lifetime, thus BSD uncertain future.
