what is your context size?

The best ones so far are fine-tunes. But I agree those numbers aren't great and we haven't figured out tool-calling yet

Why is the quality so bad compared to visible light daytime photos?

This time it's different

you should set a lower temperature

do you store the recordings on your server?

how do you calculate share prices? curious

why are so many array programming alternatives to numpy/scipy popping up recently? Is there a fundamental flaw or showstopper in numpy?

I was curious about that choice as well. I guess they also just wanted to operate on integers and not floats

Can someone eli5?

sounds like Flume

ChatGPT summary

Scientific Grounding: The post suggests that the technology behind the mushroom suit lacks scientific grounding. It questions whether the plastic box experiment conducted by the artist truly emulates the complex and changing environment of a buried body.

Fungal Enzymes: There's skepticism about the choice of shiitake and oyster mushrooms for breaking down keratin. The post highlights that these basidiomycetes (mushrooms) are not known to produce the enzymes required for breaking down keratin effectively.

Complexity of Decay: The post emphasizes that the decay of buried bodies is a complex process influenced by various factors such as soil type, moisture, temperature, pH, and the presence of organisms. The blog suggests that a plastic box containing keratin may not represent the realistic conditions of a buried body.

Role of Other Organisms: The role of other organisms, including bacteria, nematodes, and soil fungi, is underscored. The post suggests that fungi may not play a significant role in the decay process until later stages, and various organisms contribute to recycling the body.

Adipocere Formation: The post discusses the formation of adipocere, a waxy substance derived from body fat, which can preserve parts of the body for decades. Factors such as soil conditions, clothing, and depth of burial may contribute to the formation of adipocere, potentially hindering efficient decomposition.

Bio-Remediation Need: The skepticism extends to the need for extensive bio-remediation of cadaver toxins. The post questions whether such detoxification is necessary, given the natural decay processes and the likely dilution of toxins after burial.

Need for Region-Specific Techniques: The post concludes by calling for a better understanding of the decay process in natural burial practices. It suggests the development of region-specific techniques that consider factors such as soil conditions, depth, and microbial activity for efficient nutrient recycling.

In summary, the skepticism expressed in the post revolves around the scientific basis, choice of fungi, and the intricate ecological factors involved in the decay process of buried bodies, questioning the feasibility of the proposed mushroom suit concept.

You should revisit the book in a few years. Tao can't be explained. It's something that should be experienced first-hand. Chapter 1 says:

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things.

There are several ways to experience it even if it's transitory: Being in nature, Deep meditation, Flow states during any activity, sensory enhancement/depravation (e.g. float tank), Psychoactive substances (last option) etc.

Here's Stephen Mitchell's translation which I like very much:

Site is down for me right now

From my experience, even a 30-60 minute do-nothing can help a lot. Also seems much less intimidating that an 24 hour one. Try it out for yourself

Bro-science aside, the stimulations that OP mentioned do have a tendency to grab your attention and make you come back for more

Even a 30-60 min. do-nothing challenge can do a lot to help you get your attention back

Seems to me like you're just in a state where you're conscious while you're body is getting ready to sleep. You're also in a state of sleep paralysis.

You should check out a book called Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. He has sections on sleep paralysis and nightmares. First few chapters tell you about the stages of sleep

How do you feel? Decaf still has some caffeine it's possible you are slowly getting dehydrated. Water and electrolytes might help

It's out there but not in the US. It doesn't deliver as much torque/HP and apparently US market prefers the torque over fuel efficiency

Realization that I'm not thinking but I'm being thought. That a lot of my thoughts are on autopilot. If you consciously remind yourself this you will keep most of suffering at bay. Even little things like slight irritation.

Do whatever useful thinking you want consciously and whenever you are aware that your mind is wandering, just notice it. I agree it is easier said that done and it needs practice

Thank you!

This app has gone over its resource limits.

Hug of death?

CPUs are good enough for inference. It will take longer but they work

This is awesome! Thank you!

Same! As you mentioned: "What is my next thought going to be?" was my trigger as well.

If this book seems too woo-woo for some, or the term God triggers you, you should check out a book called Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Here are other meditations that leads me into the present moment:

   - Am I alive?

   - Do nothing for 30-60 mins

   - Who am I?

   - What do I know for certain?
