Lotta unsubstantiated claims you're making there.

To create things via AI without being able to comprehend the output is to trust completely in the agent(s). Operating that way is more optimistic than experience has taught me to be.

There's a lot more professionals that have RTX cards than H200s. You're inevitably see more development and experimentation on things actual humans have lmao.

An epub is just a plain html webpage compressed into a zip and its extension changed from .zip to ".epub". Assuming you have a web browser, you have something that will almost certainly render your epubs contents.

PDF is not nearly as pleasant under the hood. It's down right lovecraftian.

Wild thing to say. There's not enough information provided in these dockets for me to form an opinion whether or not any of these dismissals are warranted or unwarranted.

Take a breath. Balance compassion for self and others.

What is RST?

I'm old enough to remember being fatigued with so many people talking about making "apps". Programs that run on a phone. Before that everyone was excited about blogging. Web 2.0 ugh.

Before that we were excited about the wheel and the creation of fire. All capital drained into those ephemeral fancies.

The cycles cycle on.

Sorta reminds me of UDP amplification attacks.

I appreciate your perspective on this. We're living in an era of sensationalism and noise. It wont get better until a lot of people from every political disposition becomes tired of hollow words designed only to create BIG FEELINGS.

Imagine an era where the majority leans in on a balance of compassion for self and others.

Proprietary food.. that you can only buy from a single company are all doomed? Might I offer an example that, under some definitions, has not failed despite that strategy. The McRib.

I was going to offer the twinkie but I guess hostess declared bankruptcy, so maybe you're right.

The fact it's text only means we only get AI text and not images, I suppose. lmao.

You could express the offset with scientific notation, tetration, and other big math number things. You probably don't need the whole offset number all at once!

It uh.. was kind of weird that a junior dev wrote.. an.. rfc? I sense that this is a company that has somewhat adapted that concept for some kind of internal communication, or it's AI slop. All the jobs I'd ever had would probably call something like that a "design proposal" or similar.

Maybe this is a folksy anecdote about a junior developer working for John Email designing the protocol for trinary morse code over a token ring of twisted pair barbed wire. An RFC for that kind of project would be natural.

In the spirit of this, I propose we start calling things like flowcharts, SVG images of digraphs, UML diagrams etc "articles of war" just to spice things up.

I typed "balancing compassion for self and others" and, surprisingly, there are zero results found.

If I could have any wish granted, I would wish for that balance to be preserved as the foundational learning before all things.

0 results found.

Verily, mine ears do smart, for folk now christen every trifle with some newborn word unkenn’d of honest ages past.

I don't want to bemoan this. There's some people who don't have the resources to house a bunch of people but do have authority over a parking lot. I applaud anyone doing what they can for others with what they've got.

Balance compassion for self and others.

I remember a different apocrypha for why they skipped from 8 to 10. They wanted avoid OS specific code that conditionally activated from the substring "windows 9" but meant for windows 95 and 98. One would imagine any code like that not being quite as helpful a few decades later.

Not interested until it can also show ads.

Both people in the conversation imagine that the other 'gets it' - a delusory and false assumption

'getting it' isn't an all or nothing thing. It would be an illusion to take it to an extreme.

The idea of some people in your life being able to get you better than others, more quickly and with fewer words, is a fact of life. Comparative human connection bandwidth can be estimated by vibes, history, outcomes.

Such reachouts are very very rare unless your software has gone viral in the right circles

Another anecdote. I had job offers coming out of my ears while I was posting videos of my indiegame on twitter. Only one video had substantial reach -- near the end of my time actively twittering. I think what helps is doing something as well as you can, and be persistently visible.

I don't think it's self aggrandizing. It points to a need to balance compassion for self and others. If you let that ratio get unbalanced in any direction it leads to bad outcomes.

Ah yeah, that slid by me.

Right, fusion stops being a net producer of energy on atoms heavier than iron.

A star’s fusion reaction ceases when too much of its core turns to iron.

Thank you for taking the time to provide me all this reading.

that's a skill issue and not a fundamental property

This made me laugh.

You seem like you may know something I've been curious about.

I'm a shader author these days, haven't been a data scientist for a while, so it's going to distort my vocab.

Say you've got a trained neural network living in a 512x512 structured buffer. It's doing great, but you get a new video card with more memory so you can afford to migrate it to a 1024x1024. Is the state of the art way to retrain with the same data but bigger initial parameters, or are there other methods that smear the old weights over a larger space to get a leg up? Anything like this accelerate training time?

... can you up sample a language model like you can lowres anime profile pictures? I wonder what the made up words would be like.

I co-run a guild in WoW right now on the anniversary server with >150 members.

It's people who play these games and almost any weirdness you can imagine that could exist in a person in real life gets brought into these games.

Often it's magnified because of the pseudo anonymity. We've only been "big" for a few months and a handful of things we've already ran into would make you not want to visit several western hemisphere countries if held to the same standard. :)

Welcome to the birth of a new taxonomy. Reminds me of all the times in my career I've said "isn't that just a function pointer?"

I wonder what the experience is like chatting with one of these LLMs when it has no system prompt at all.

Interesting, I want to read more about this.

I wouldn't bet against him. "The Bitter Lesson" may imply an advantage to someone who historically has been at the tip of the spear for squeezing the most juice out of GPU hosted parallel computation.

Graphics rendering and AI live on the same pyramid of technology. A pyramid with a lot of bricks with the initials "JC" carved into them, as it turns out.
