I will be amused when corporations successfully push software development so far away from the US that unions will be the only way we won't be stuck with poverty wages.
It will be interesting to see if ChatGPT can drive meaningful differentiation through features like this. Why would a business use this solution as opposed to native solutions from Microsoft and Google?
Kind of ironic the author is complaining about the quality of google search results when this website seems to be almost unusable to me on mobile due to whole-page, in-line and overlay ads.
This is actually why I tell people recycling is mostly bad. The impact of some plastic in the landfill is less than the extra carbon emissions.

To me, context caching is only a subset of what is possible with full control over the model. I consider this a more complete list: https://github.com/microsoft/aici?tab=readme-ov-file#flexibi...

Context caching only gets you “forking generation into multiple branches” (i.e. sharing work between multiple generations)
I sampled about 20 questions and got them all right. I guess it helps to be author of a compile-to-JavaScript language. That gives way more knowledge about the tricky spec corner cases. Knowing these things is less useful for a JavaScript practitioner.

What's the point of self driving if you have to babysit it?

Paying attention != nags. You can be staring into traffic and holding wheel and still not paying attention (which nags do help with). Nags when you are paying attention is super annoying tho.

Being on your phone, etc is completely different category. That is distracted driving.
In my experience and at this point in my career ark I can say that "coding" itself hasn't been the hardest part of the job in ... 20 years? Coding was never difficult. Understanding the rats nest of code that comprises a product is a big barrier. The whole "I know this looks batshit crazy but we do it this way for a business reason" and it goes on and on. Not to mention the database full of tables that are gigantic and nobody knows what they're for anymore (This company maybe your cell carrier I kid you not).

In all seriousness though, an AI at this point can do some cool things with some handholding, prompt refinement, etc such that its almost a Jr. Dev. Both more or less went to school for CS and both are minimally experienced but have a lot of code to look at and draw conclusions from. Neither know anything about the business domain. Both generate candidate solutions that will at best require some additional guidance.

Personally, I don't see things getting too far beyond this in the near term. Perhaps AI becomes a very good Jr Dev who can handle "write me a function with inputs Foo,Bar that returns the [biz logic] as Baz" and the "coders" modern job is to generate maybe 50% of the necessary code where the other 50% is the integration.

Who knows ... but I dont see people saying the things I think people would say if anyone was actually doing this for realsies.

What you say is true, but tragic. What is a professional reputation worth if one ignores inconvenient truths? No opinion (however lay or erudite) is deeply serious if truth is less important than ego preservation.

I occasionally need to go back to my shitty legacy ICE car and it's insane how hard it is to manage kids + snacks + phone without autopilot.
I always assumed that was just using spell-check in a unique way. I could absolutely be wrong about that, though.

What I'd probably do is to start scouring the literature for "predictive text algorithms" and see where that rabbit hole leads.
A conversation about second order effects against first order deliverables. This is proof of the obvious because very few people seriously believed their emission cost inputs exceeded their energy production, it's been necessary to prove it because of politics, not serious scientific questions to their aggregate burden.

During early years on lower efficiency sure, it's possible wind and solar had higher input costs and lifetime burdens than they produced. We're well beyond that phase now.

If you don't think this, ask yourself if the gas wastage, consumption and fugitive emission at production and supply chain facilities in aggregate is ever costed against the energy returns through the use of the product. I never see serious analysis of things like fugitive gas emissions on the cost side of gas production overall. CCS had no solution for this. It's huge.

All those web search terms are relevant for indirectly helping find useful defense attorneys. If doesn't in itself demonstrate any guilt.

I am not saying they're not guilty of fraud, only that a jury needs to be massively more objective than look to such searches as evidence of guilt.

Also, there are probably thousands of people who do the same searches without participating in any fraud.

DownDetector is a _very_ blunt instrument when it comes to actually detecting service outages.

Excited to share my creations with you and would love your feedback!

I consider it a successor in that it's compact with an emphasis on user customization and community-designed plugins/components. Like Winamp, most functionality you get out of the box is provided by bundled plugins, and they can be replaced with alternatives.

Out of the box, you could certainly customize it to have a similar layout to winamp even if none of the dressing looks at all the same.

My layout[1] is certainly very different than Winamp, but still conforms a lot more to the basic shape of Winamp than the usual giant screen-filling squares that are iTunes, Windows Media Player or the Spotify desktop client.

> grids were owned by many small regional power companies; thus, voltages and frequencies (42Hz was quite common) could vary a lot between each other

It always amazes me that some countries are still operating on multiple mains voltages and/or frequencies while sharing a common plug standard, such as Brazil or notably Japan (where the 50/60 Hz division apparently runs through a densely populated area)!

Fortunately most devices I bring with me when traveling don't care and adapt to whatever, but being able to plug a 110 V hairdryer into a 230 V outlet without any form of adapter sounds scary.
>> including the quantity needed

Texas power has gone negative, CA has dropped to zero. That means power flowing on to the grid either has no where to go or is only being charged transmission fees (and those in CA are gonna be excessive).

Transmission and storage are big issues. But they are solvable ones. Storage can be localize and the grid can be upgraded (and needs to be).

Candidly we need to look for ways to decouple energy creation, storage and transmission from each other. How do I buy enoung fractional shares in creation and storage so I only have to pay the cost of transmission? How do I make my utility into an asset!
Detecting spacing out would probably hard (cameras need to track iris pretty well).

That’s already a thing. ChatGPT can utilise Wolfram Mathematica as a “tool”. Conversely, there’s an LLM included in the latest Mathematica release.
I'm mildly surprised Jensen Huang hasn't either been fired or isn't facing jail time after everything that has happened.

Between...

* Trying to falsely sell an AI future that won't come in his lifetime (hes in his 60s), and his company almost has nothing to do with this future; GPUs are a horrible stopgap for purpose-built hardware, which companies already sell and have been deployed in prod for years.

* Selling GPUs that literally are fire hazards and then helped lead the effort to hide this and threaten anyone willing to cover it in the tech news; this only lead to Streisanding it hard.

* Covering up the whole Samsung fab failure where he blamed the lack of cards on retail shelves was because of "Bitcoin miners scalping them", and then opened up him and his company up to litigation over this by their own shareholders, and then they lost in court and were forced to admit to shareholders that the cards had never existed in the first place; this one is extra insane, because a sale is a sale (doesn't matter who the cards got sold to once they leave Nvidia partner hands), but Bitcoin miners would have mined with them and Bitcoin mining on GPUs had already been dead for several years by then and Nvidia GPUs have horrible performance when it comes to such tasks; scalping or mining would have been a less profitable proposition for miners, and he also slandered miners by lumping them in with scalpers with such a flippant remark.

* Fought the Mellanox acquisition internally until someone sat him down and explained to him that everyone had a high bandwidth low latency network except Nvidia and that AMD had used Mellanox for external Hypertransport for years (but transitioned to external PCI-E as part of the Infinity Fabric rebranding) and a lot of smaller supercomputer-esque deployments switched to generic RDMA over Ethernet instead of Mellanox Infiniband, and if they want to survive at all in the enterprise space, they need this, and due to everyone switching, Mellanox was now a cheap and effective acquisition. He then relented, purchased Mellanox, and started claiming it was his idea the whole time.

... I'm still not sure why Nvidia continues to keep him around. He only owns about 4% of the company, and only about 15% of the shares are part of the Jensen personality cult. Ditching him and hiring someone actually on board with the Nvidia mission would be a huge boon to the company.
Love this landing page! Very clean
It’s the power-to-weight ratio. Two-stroke engines are used in blowers, chainsaws, trimmers, and edgers because the power:weight ratio is far more practical for handheld tools than a four-stroke engine.

Motorcycles and snowmobiles are mostly four-strokes these days because the increase in weight isn't a big deal compared to a chainsaw or trimmer.
I played this a couple of years ago and it was already really solid back then. Do you know if they've figured out a way to do gyro aim since then? That'd be perfect for the growing number of devices inspired by the Switch and more recently Steam Deck.
I can also start a subculture about competing for the best type of bank robberies, doesn't make bank robberies a nice thing to do. But yeah fascinating
And to be more exact, GPT-4chan is based on GPT-J (same architecture as GPT-3 whose weights were never released) which only had 6B params and that was back in 2021-2022.
I'm not familiar with this metric but does it at least account for the cost that non-wind sources must incur to keep their facilities running? For example, if you have a wind farm you will prioritize using that energy when available, but the natural gas facility still needs to employ people for low wind situations right?

So the natural gas facility is not generating very much most of the year, but still needs quite a bit of people with the expertise to keep it operational despite that in addition to land lease costs, equipment maintenance etc. Does LCOE turn the cost of the natural gas facility cost into $0 during those situations to be fair?

-

Edit:
Just glanced at the Wikipedia article and the variables involved in the LCOE equation. Seems to unfairly benefit wind and solar.

"One of the most important potential limitations of LCOE is that it may not control for time effects associated with matching electricity production to demand."

"In particular, if the costs of matching grid energy storage are not included in projects for variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, they may produce electricity when it is not needed in the grid without storage. The value of this electricity may be lower than if it was produced at another time, or even negative."

> Once you correct the LLM, it will continue to provide the corrected answer until some time later,

That is only true if you stay within the same chat. It is not true across chats. Context caching is something that a lot of folks would really really like to see.

And jumping to a new chat is one of the core points of the OP: "I restarted with a slightly modified prompt:"

The iterations before where mostly to figure out why the initial prompt went wrong. And AFAICT there's a good insight in the modified prompt - "Make no assumptions". Probably also "ensure you fully understand how it's labelled".

And no, asking repeatedly doesn't necessarily give different answers, not even with "can you double check". There are quite a few examples where LLMs are consistently and proudly wrong. Don't use LLMs if 100% accuracy matters.
The magic is in the billions of learned weights (~synapses). This is just the scaffolding that runs them.
From a little looking, the Greenworks 82BA26-52DP[1] seems like it might work well. It has a fairly long run time on battery on high (40 minutes), very long on low (2 hours), and has a dual port charging solution that seems to be able to charge batteries in 40-60 minutes depending on battery size. About a hour per tank of gas for a gas powered leaf blower seems to be about average, so I don't think stopping that often is really a problem.

It is more expensive up front, from even the electric blower's own numbers, but they say it's much cheaper over a year if you have a 4 hour daily usage cycle.[2] I don't know enough to know whether the claims make sense or not. Maybe you know more about this, but maybe it's not as clearly one sided as you think?

Do you really need to burn through steel plate? Seems like something like this is for shooting down cheap drones.
