You're spot on about the challenges LLMs face with complex markdown tables, especially when column counts rise and data types are similar. The "counting task" for column correlation is a real pain point – it's like the LLM loses track of where it is in the data grid.
Your ID/coordinate marker idea is clever! It provides explicit context that LLMs seem to crave. Using HTML comments for this metadata is an interesting approach. It keeps the markdown valid for human readability, but I share your uncertainty about how consistently LLMs would parse and utilize it.
Some other avenues worth exploring:
Alternative Formats: Have you experimented with formats like CSV or JSON for feeding tabular data to LLMs? They might offer a more structured representation that's easier to parse.
Pre-processing: Could we pre-process the table to create a more LLM-friendly representation? For example, converting it into a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row and keys represent column names.
Prompt Engineering: Perhaps there are specific prompts or instructions that can guide LLMs to better handle large tables within markdown.
It seems like there's room for innovation in how we bridge the gap between human-readable markdown tables and the structured data LLMs thrive on.
Similar issue was at play in the 2019 Whakaari / White Island eruption in New Zealand (which, sadly - unlike today's Yellowstone explosion - caused numerous deaths and serious injuries). The visitors were made to feel safer than they actually were. The tour operators were complacent, and were later found negligent of having an inadequate safety regimen in place. Too much trust, too little vigilance, human memory too woefully short compared to geological event timescales.

The main reason why’d never want to live in Poland longterm are the extreme pollution levels. Compared to some other places you can’t even escape it by moving to the suburbs/etc.

The only place worse/as bad in the EU is Northern Italy but at least they have geography as an excuse.

It would be a nice place if the Poles stopped burning coal..

A friend of mine had to take insulin dose daily.
Talking around with people, he found out that diet with carbon hydrates (bread, potato, rice…) increased blood sugar.

For the past few years, he is now on keto diet and eats 2-3 eggs per day, due to some missing aminoacyd (not entirely sure why). His blood sugar is normal and he doesn’t have to take insulin anymore.

If anyone needs some more info, contact and I can ask him for more details.

This is not just about performance.

Unlike Go or Ruby, JavaScript is a single-threaded language. Synchronization constructs such as mutexes and semaphores are uncommon and not part of any standard library. When you are calling a synchronous function, you can be completely assured that no race condition can develop while the function is running, but the same guarantee is not true for asynchronous functions.

That's why knowing which function is running asynchronously is even more useful for languages like JavaScript.
And the US Dollar in cash is the easiest way for drug dealers to get payment for the drugs they are pushing on the street. Yet, the answer to that is not to demand that society goes cash-less. Money will always be used by people you disagree with. And you should not try to use the money itself as a way of limiting what people do. For if you do, one day it could be you that finds himself unable to spend his money the way he wants to because someone else, more powerful than you, disagrees with how you spend that money.

Using money that is yours should never be illegal. Prosecute the bad people for the bad thing they did in the first place to get the money / the bad thing that someone paid them money for.
Just to be clear, the input must be written in a subset of C, because many constructs are not recognized, like unsigned types, static variables, [] arrays, etc.

Don't worry, I'm not using the app's suggestions blindly (or at all, currently). But yeah the SmartCGMS authors disclaimed as much - you're using it on your own risk.

This is probably also why apps like LibreLink don't provide predictions but only show historical data - easier to not get sued if you don't give the user advice that could kill them?

Re models, differential equations and finding minima: I do agree genetic algo is a bit wonky, and the greedy random walk at the bottom was able to get similar results. Do you have some resources for optimizing a N_51 x N_51 x N_51 x N_51 -> R+ unknown black-box function? My googling led me to eg. Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, but I don't currently get it (the translation to the probability domain escapes me). You're mentioning shooting method and bisection, I'll take a look at those.
I asked both whether the product of two odds (odds=(probability/(1-probability)) can itself be interpreted as an odds, and if so, which.

I had read somewhere that LinkedIn does this to favor content that's on LinkedIn itself rather than going to a third party website. So if the links are going to LinkedIn itself, they won't be penalized.

I personally do find this to be a hassle. E.g., how should I cite references that are outside LinkedIn?

Now that LinkedIn has some popularity, I think this Link policy should be reversed.

And what's with needing to Like your own post? I refuse to do that in spite of it supposedly making the 'algorithm' happier.

Between Google and Yahoo, et al, the Philoposhy Google search held was to let the users get what they were looking for and move out as soon as possible, whereas the other search providers were making portals to offer more and more on their own website. I cannot say whether this should apply to LinkedIn as well, however, surely alternate approaches have been there.
On the Cyber running NOS, we had XEDIT. And similar to your story, I routinely dumped 10 lines of context after each change. Whatever that command was, was hard coded into muscle memory to the point it was mostly automatic.

The other nice feature was that you could do quick in place edits from the command line. Combination of ed and sed.

Another aspect that impacted TECO on the PDP was the concept of paging the file in. The machine was limited enough that you as a user were responsible for swapping parts of the buffer in and out, which, while usable, was not a good user experience.

When loading a large file TECO/vtedit would prompt “loading file xxx.yyy slowly”. And it was. In the labs, my friend and I would commandeer multiple terminals, with one of them being our file loaded in the editor. We’d constantly write the file out, but never exit.

And by “large file”, I’m talking a 35K byte source file.

It was a different time, to be sure.

> From what I understand, Unison has very little in common with Scrapscript.

I think you should read up on Unison a bit more, I see a lot of overlap.

Both identify code with hashes, and implement code sharing through hash based syncing.
Builtin serialization is also present in both, and both are very Haskell inspired.

One difference I see is the sharing mechanism, where Unison has a local sqlite repository and tooling for uploading, while Scrapscript seems to be built more around IPFS. But that seems like an implementation detail rather than a fundemantal difference.

Unison supports algebraic effects, aka abilities with handlers, which is a much more powerful and general concept than the platforms in Roc.

One of the first things I figured out on my own right away is my carb ratio.

15 minutes before eating is a must or else you’ll be on a wild chase.

We’re somewhat insulin-resistant in the morning. Plus some glucose is dumped into the bloodstream to wake us up. This requires some units of a fast acting insulin or else the BG will go up even if you don’t eat anything. This is also why carb heavy foods are the worst breakfast foods.
That’s interesting. I thought Shortcuts had lost the ability to run on the Apple Watch at all—in earlier times, I had shortcuts that popped up buttons to decide on next steps, and those stopped working when Apple took over the original app.

I guess they only removed the UI part, or have been adding stuff back in.
The training datasets and methodology are what matters. None of that is disclosed by anyone
In the context of what it seems to be primarily attempting to achieve, assisting in the bootstrapping of more complex environments directly or indirectly dependent on C, I found the base64 example (more so the SHA-256 example in the same directory) quite interesting and evidence of the sophistication of pnut notwithstanding the limitations. And as was pointed out, it wouldn't be difficult to hack in the ability to read binary data: just swap in a replacement for the getchar routine, such as I've done with od. In fact, that ease is one of the most fascinating aspects of this project--they've built a conceptually powerful execution model for the shell that can be directly targeted when compiling C code, as opposed to indirection through an intermediate VM (e.g. a P-code interpreter in shell). It has it's limitations, but those can be addressed. Given the constraints, the foundation is substantial and powerful even from a utilitarian perspective.

When people discuss Turing completeness and related concepts one of the unstated caveats is that neither the concept itself, nor most solutions or environments, meaningfully address the problem of I/O with the external environment. pnut is kind of exceptional in this regard, even with the limitations.

Action Oriented UX
That's weird, because women these days seem to really love dogs. There's a stereotype about women loving cats (which do not normally have a strong body smell at all), but these days women seem to greatly prefer dogs over cats. I think it has something to do with the fact that dogs require far more maintenance than cats, so they basically act as surrogate children. Cats are independent and don't need to be bathed (you do have to clean their litter box, but that's about it) or walked 3x a day so you can pick up their fresh poop in your hand, so they don't take any time out of your day, or force you to adapt your schedule to theirs, the way dogs do.

> The path ended with a gate, looking nothing like what Google was telling me the path should.

Really? Did you look at the satellite or street view?

The regular map view only shows roads the way they are classified by the local administrations. If a dirt path is considered the same as a small rural road in that country, it will be shown the same. However you will see it if you take the time to check satellite view. Also, if there is no street view available, it also means that the operator of a google car choosed not going there so that gives you an indication. I guess they could use that information but do not because street view do not operate universally the same way or the frequency they visit most places is not high enough to be reliable.
I suspect that even if you allowed people to take the data, nobody but a FAANG like organisation could even store it?
This is very cool. I am fortunate enough to have access to a pump and have been hacking closed loops for a few years now using software like Nightscout, AndroidAAPS and xDrip+. My understanding is that none of these are exclusive to pump users, they just work a little easier with them. Maybe there is some interplay with these tools that you can leverage?

If they spend 20 years there, and get 20 years worth of pension, what's the problem? They can combine it with whatever savings and pensions they had before being hired at 36.

Unless you're saying they don't get any pension, in which case stop screwing people over that way and cut the pension qualification to 5 years or less.

> Not because it might join NATO but because Russia has to invade it “while it still can.”

Your argument here appears to literally be that Russia invades countries randomly. Not just without provocation, but for no reason and with no ability for countries to comply with their demands rather than being invaded. You might want to come up with a better theory before trying to put it to people. This type of nonsense is why the so called "disinformation" does a lot better - it involves the Russian government having motives and acting in a reasonable if stupid manner.

I've found people struggle to come up with a motivation that isn't NATO expansion. One fellow said it wasn't NATO expansion it was that Ukraine was about to integrate with the EU which is a bit ... we can call it EU expansion if that makes people more comfortable. Same difference. Big lump of people who turn out to be disturbingly cheered at the thought of killing lots of Russians. Lots of US funding.

> Russian arguments for invading Ukraine are precisely this, and Chinese arguments for Taiwan will be the same.

I mean, sure. But you're not grappling with the obvious question of why did Russia decide that it wanted to invade Ukraine. In the 90s it decided it "wanted" to give Ukraine independence [0] and through the 90s and 00s decided that it was happy to have Ukraine as an independent state. Even in the 10s as the situation started to deteriorate Russia didn't abandon negotiating.

The issue here is that like everyone else they have 30+ years of experience watching how the post-USSR NATO and they had some idea of what was about to happen, ie, Ukraine folded in to the greater anti-Russia military alliance. Obviously they are still a bit naive given that Ukraine was much better prepared than they expected.

[0] I wouldn't say that was acting out of sociopath narcissism on that one. More it was forced to.

> Surprise pills can definitely be a surprise I guess.

Back when I was into that scene there were basic risk-reduction methods people would use to try to minimise the surprise.

Buy pure powders from sites that listed the IUPAC chemical names and structures of what they were selling. Even better if they listed results from GCMS assay on their supply. Make sure they could actually spell the name of the drugs they were selling. So look at listings for (e.g.) 4-MMC from a site the community trysted rather than a bag of "Plant food!" or "gogaine blend!" from a page that popped up yesterday and spelled 'methiopropamine' in three different ways.

Preferably get it tested yourself too. Basic mandelin, ehrlich, marquis chemical tests could give you some info on what you had but in the UK there was a service where you could send in anonymous samples for GCMS.

Always do an allergy test first, starting with a dilution of the substance down into the low micrograms.

It wouldn't protect you from an MPPP/MPTP type scenario, but nothing will (including buying mainstream drugs) and at least at that point you can be fairly confident of what you're taking. Depending how novel the substance is of course, you may not have the first clue as to what it'll do to you...
> Sure, we can remove '/' and make that a happy face emoji but I don't think that changes the premise here.

Disagree. The whole point of calling it '/' is to tell the reader that it is mathematical division.

> Making sure you don't divide by zero is just one of those things programmers learn... like making sure you don't derefence null or go beyond the size of your array, or overflowing... not clear to me that masking that helps, maybe the ship wouldn't strand but instead it'd run into a bridge.

In all of those cases it's much better for your program to explode quickly and loudly than silently continue (e.g. you'd hope dereferencing null triggered an error rather than just letting your program continue). Defining x/0 = 0 is masking the error and continuing, which tends to lead to corrupt data and silent wrong results.
I haven't, but I am now! Thank you for the suggestion

Throughout the history, we've slowly decided to compromise by giving up on privacy and increasing that trust in specific circumstances.
