Well, yeah, kind of at this point. LLMs can be interpreted as natural language computers

It’s not about that, it’s about “% per 100k” making no sense as a unit. It’s either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you’ve clearly messed something up and don’t quite understand what you’re actually talking about.

the quality of Lego bricks is far superior to any of their competitors

That is flat out wrong. It was true a couple of years ago, but things have changed rapidly recently.

Lego’s quality has dropped quite a bit in the last 40 years, while some competitors have caught up and superseded. Sure, it’s still mostly pretty good, but things like brittle brown or the lime bionicle joints should be ample evidence that Lego is by far not infallible.

And if you look at the quality of current day bricks - Lego is having huge consistency issues, especially when it comes to certain colors, but also the bricks themselves. Running over the flat back of my Tudor Corner with a fingernail reveals inconsistencies in the width of regular bricks. Huge visible mold marks are everywhere. These issues were much less present 40 years ago, and high-quality competitors like Pantasy or Lumibricks are currently outcompeting Lego on basically every quality metric (except maybe glossy tile surfaces), at half the price.

Bluebrixx is still somewhat hit-or-miss when it comes to quality. If you want to see the best and most consistent stuff out there, give Pantasy or Lumibricks (previously Funwhole) a shot!

Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don’t count for that much

Kids will do stupid things sometimes, no avoiding that. In Germany you can pass a stopped bus on the other side of the road, but if it has its hazards on, you can’t go faster than walking speed.

Then it would’ve been “against her brother” though, not “against my brother”

All I can see:

Syntax is a little different though, the above wouldn’t complete

What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that’s what this ruling is about, it says Apple can’t prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn’t doing that with Steam afaik, actually I’m not aware of any other platform that does this

I mean… The post explicitly says “attempted rape” and never just “rape”, so isn’t it doing exactly what you’re asking for then?

I personally switched to wireless back when my phone still had a headphone jack. It’s just the better overall experience for me, and I suspect that I’m not alone in that. I’m going to continue arguing for manufacturers to keep including a headphone jack, but it’s not because I prefer wired headphones personally.

I feel like I’d forget to charge them

I thought that to but turned out to be a non-issue. Since most earbuds come in a case that holds multiple full charges for the earbuds themselves, and the case begins to complain about low battery early enough, even if I forget the first one or two times I notice the low battery state I’ve so far never run into a situation where I wanted to use them as had no charge left

There’s nothing to configure with modern android and Windows devices, it just works from my experience. Watching a video on YouTube or on the native media players at least you get a fraction of a second where it’s out of sync and then it pauses the video for whatever time necessary to get back in sync, and no issues from there on out.

The only instances where I notice it doesn’t work are games and video editing software, but yeah, those are just not use cases where wireless audio is appropriate

Hadn’t heard of that but wouldn’t surprise me

Immich might not hold up yet in every aspect to Google photos, but I was and am still blown away by how much better face detection and grouping works. I cannot believe how ridiculously bad that feature is in Google, you just have to pray that it works, and if it messes up, it’s extremely annoying to fix. In immich, it works exactly as you’d expect.

not a capitalism problem per se, more like an government problem

That’s like saying “bleeding is not a stabbing problem per se, more like a bandages problem”

Like, yeah, keeping a stockpile of bandages is probably a good idea just in case, but maybe we should prevent people from stabbing each other in the first place?

Privateigentum

Dieser Begriff müsste echt mal geändert werden. Jemand, der sich mit der Materie nicht auskennt, würde nie auf die Idee kommen, dass “Privateigentum” etwas anderes meint als “Mein Handy, mein Auto”. Ein Begriff den man immer erstmal erklären muss um nicht direkt auf tiefe Ablehnung gegenüber der falsch verstandenen Bedeutung zu stoßen ist einfach kein guter Begriff

“The planning thing in poems blew me away,” says Batson. “Instead of at the very last minute trying to make the rhyme make sense, it knows where it’s going.”

How is this surprising, like, at all? LLMs predict only a single token at a time for their output, but to get the best results, of course it makes absolute sense to internally think ahead, come up with the full sentence you’re gonna say, and then just output the next token necessary to continue that sentence. It’s going to re-do that process for every single token which wastes a lot of energy, but for the quality of the results this is the best approach you can take, and that’s something I felt was kinda obvious these models must be doing on one level or another.

I’d be interested to see if there are massive potentials for efficiency improvements by making the model able to access and reuse the “thinking” they have already done for previous tokens

I like the color temperature and brightness of my lights responding to the time of day too much in order to go with smart switches over smart lights
