Yeah... the cost to create ChatGPT-4 isn't the cost to train it. You would need like $1-4b to create a GPT-4 style model.

I got a 718 Cayman which I particularly enjoy because of how barren the interior is. It has a screen with CarPlay which can be helpful for pulling up maps, a rear view camera, and lane change assist (which is just a red light by each mirror). Mostly analog tach too.

Looks nice. I've had occasion to import/export, edit, etc. thousands of CSV files from multiple software platforms over the years and this tool looks like a simple way for a user to determine whether there are issues in the CSV file that will cause problems on import to their application.

One question I immediately have is how this compares to a spreadsheet CSV import tool such as the one in Excel which is extremely flexible. It appears that this app requires a specific format (comma delimited, new line at end of each row) in order to work. I never tried to count the times that a CSV file that I had to work with required editing in order to facilitate import to Excel or other application because CSV is such a non-standard standard output that the only way one could know whether the import would be successful was to pop it into an editor, like Notepad++ and examine it before import. Notepad++ was a critical tool in the chain to force compliance for all the different applications I used. Each application allowed CSV import/export but some accepted almost any delimiter while others were strict about file format and failing to understand the expected CSV format for each would definitely cause headaches as some input errors could leave a very subtle footprint that you may not catch until late in processing.

Anyway, it appears that your definition of CSV format is pretty strict so how do you propose that a user manage importation of files that do not fit your CSV definition? Notepad++ before import to verify compliance?

I also see one thing on the main page under "Security" that looks like it could be worded differently.

>No tracking or analytics software is used for privacy

To me, this implies that no steps have been taken to manage user/data privacy.

Perhaps a comma could be inserted so that it reads "...used, for privacy." or maybe it should read:

For (user/data) privacy, there is no tracking or analytics software.

I think you’re vastly overstating how hackable it is. Yes you have root, and yes that’s notable and praiseworthy.

However, it’s not “dead simple,” practically speaking. The parts you actually care about (the display/touch logic, library management, annotations, etc.) are all inside a single, proprietary binary. A group of dedicated and extremely impressive hackers has done excellent work reverse engineering and packaging their work for others to readily use. But they’re always swimming upstream, having to work around the myriad issues surrounding this vital, proprietary blob.

Case in point: the hacker community’s work on RM2 v3.4+ has been stalled for 6+ months now because of changes that Remarkable made to their proprietary system.

Another example of how not-open the core functionality is: you can’t hack in your own two-way ebook sync logic because the remarkable’s blob one-way-converts all books to a custom binary format before the user can read and annotate them. Sure, you can hook into some of the sync logic by mocking their API (iirc) and doing some custom one-way-sync stuff (using tools from the truly impressive hacker community). But two-way sync? I’m not aware of anything. And it’s definitely not as easy as mounting some fuse filesystem that does two-way sync with some service that you can load with books.

So yeah, the RM2 is just a simple Linux system only if you ignore the actual reading and writing functionality. It’s good to have root (I _never_ would have bought mine otherwise), but that’s not enough.
What Google Sheets functionality you're missing there?

Of course there's a lot missing, but what's interesting is what you've reached for and could not find.
> One unfortunate aspect of classic games is how dated mechanics can get. It’s a problem that music or movies don’t really have, besides maybe feeling a bit cliché.

Silent film would like a word. Er, uh… an intertitle.

Lots of modern viewers find films made before digital editing weird, or even near-unwatchable. The editing isn’t quick enough, shot pacing feels too slow.

Acting styles have changed over the years. It can take some work to be able to enjoy film acting from decades ago.

Older special effects are an acquired taste. I’m thinking of things like pirate movies where the ships are very-obviously models in a tub of water, easy to tell no matter how good the models because the water itself looks “small” in motion.

On the music side, older music will be mono. Tons of old blues legends exist only in scratchy, terrible recordings. Older music sounds different than more recent stuff and could not have sounded like the modern kind, because they could only mix so many tracks without ruining the sound, since each down-mix meant a re-recording and a loss of quality. Newer tracks will almost always use visually-aided editing that includes adjusting vocals by eye rather than ear, which changes the way things sound a lot.

I would agree with you if we were discussing some academic topic. The topic under discussion is why would anyone vote for Donald Trump? A Berkley sociologist writing about how Trump voters are resentful because minorities jumped the line is about as tendentious and echo-chamber-y as one can get. It's almost begging the response "wait your turn, you hicks!"

My reading directly from the voters is that they feel Democrats are out of touch, pandering only to a very limited set of elites with very specific, weird values who are dangerously authoritarian, dogmatic and powerful. They feel that Democrats have contempt for the poor, working and middle classes, but mask this contempt by dismissing any policy debate or disagreement as racist or transphobic. They feel that Democratic partisans have a firm grip on mainstream media, academic institutions, and much of government, and a demonstrated willingness to promote lies through those institutions, so Team Red views any pronouncements from those sources as deeply untrustworthy when not outright false. They see the rioting as madness, and believe that continuing down the path set by Democrats as bringing more of the same. Whenever they try to have Team Blue effectively address these concerns, their feedback is only "Wow! Racist much? Take your Russian asset ass out of here, dinosaur. Adults are talking." That's not really much of an exaggeration, by the way. Trump, again, according to them, is an underdog in that fight, but will at least try to restore order.

That's my take on what they're collectively saying and why Trump won. Yours might be different. Like I said, go to the sources. But, when I compare the way Team Red and Team Blue we're talking about issues, it did not surprise me that Team Red won this round. Team Blue needs to become less hysterical and bullying to win next round. My personal hope is that Team Blue will listen, reflect and reform, but I've been hoping for that for several cycles now. They'll probably just wait until Team Red overreaches, as each side always does.
The Court, not Congress, favoured arbitration over court in consumer contracts.

Arbitration, when passed, was designed for contract disputes between merchants, not statutory claims or between entities of unequal bargaining power. In fact members of Congress expressly disavowed touching either consumer or employment contracts - and even went so far as to make that explicit with respect to employment.

The reason it takes so much energy is that memory is separate from compute in most architecture s, so you end up getting an expensive bottleneck that is almost always the limit to performance on a given task.
Most of the silicon area and power go into trying to minimize the hit of that bottleneck to raw performance.

Alternatives exist, they're radically different to program, but I strongly believe offer very cheap Petaflops for the masses.
That makes perfect sense, I know from experience that things like Google Trends scraping is an absolute pain in the backside and requires a lot of jiggery-buggery in order to get around their bot detection — a proxy alone will do nothing to bypass them due to the mechanisms they’ve implemented.

Exactly because Excel is huge it'd be nice to have such a detailed reference, grouped by type: functions, UI, scripting, built in analysis tools etc

And some features could reduce pressure re compatibility in other areas. For example, if you had some kind of wasm plugin system, then people could easily write the lacking functions in their favorite language without having to wait for the core to add such a function.
That's GNU C, not standard C.

Standard C has no such feature as blocks being expressions.

Compound literals are grotesque. The braces have to be proceeded by cast syntax indicating the type. It could be subject to inference. Maybe the current draft has something.
An AGI is often claimed to be a general purpose problem solver and these are exactly the types of problems that a general purpose problem solver would be able to solve if given access to a mathematical library. All existing LLMs have been trained on abstract mathematics and logic but it is obvious that they are incapable of abstract logical reasoning, e.g. solving sudoku puzzles.

Just for clarification, did you have one connection per thread or one global connection?

If it's the latter your error would make sense since you created a race condition, databases connections aren't magic, they are still just file descriptors without synchronisation, most ORMs/frameworks put the magic in there for you.

If it's the former then yeah that makes no sense.

You don't need to comment out the print function - it could gate its behavior on a comptime-known configuration variable. This would allow you to keep your debug variables in place.
I was just messing around with LLMs all day, so had a few test cases open. Asked it to change a few things in a ~6KB C# snippet in a somewhat ambiguous, but reasonable way.

GPT-4 did this job perfectly. Qwen:72b did half of the job, completely missed the other one, and renamed 1 variable that had nothing to do with the question. Llama3.1:70b behaved very similar to Qwen, which is interesting.

OpenCoder:8b started reasonably well, then randomly replaced "Split('\n')" with "Split(n)" in unrelated code, and then went completely berserk, hallucinating non-existent StackOverflow pages and answers.

For posterity, I saved it here: https://pastebin.com/VRXYFpzr

My best guess is that you shouldn't train it on mostly code. Natural language conversations used to train other models let them "figure out" human-like reasoning. If your training set is mostly code, it can produce output that looks like code, but it will have little value to humans.

Edit: to be fair, llama3.2:3b also botched the code. But it did not hallucinate complete nonsense at least.

Opt for cremation then, no one's bringing you back after that. Depending on where you live, brain-only cryonics might be a similar price or cheaper. In case you want to try the other way. In that case you have a somewhat better chance of picking "what version", and they might even take that as your preference for a particular point in time in the case they're using another information recovery process (e.g. some Tipler thing.)

Neither option is actually reliable for the direction you want, cheap/"free" cryonics is even sketchier than usual, and someone might be able to pull a version of "you" from your writings and genetics. Probably doesn't count though.
