Don't know if it is just me, but seems like a weird thing to read on their official website. I could see it as an email sent out in crisis and maybe it would get leaked, but putting it up there yourself? I mean it has "Our busines

Just wondering do you think you got tinnitus or was it there and you suddenly started noticing? I don't know I got it around 20y ago but I'm honestly unsure if it was one or the other because it became worse and worse the more I s

While I can see your point I also think it is not directly relevant to OP. Firstly, I don't think OP meant that people are idiots for using LLM's, it was just a way of saying that skill is no longer required so even idiots can do

I started at 16, 44M now, but also remember all that COM stuff, writing shell extensions for Windows 95 and stuff. And reading about it in the press (MSDN Magazine?). It was the new AI then ;) I think you really hit the jackpot because you

Same boat (though 44M) - I don't think it has become less fun, on the contrary it can help with the stuff that was trivial but could still take time to get right. Now it can crank out that stuff often correctly on first try. Of course

Your numbers are about how much is used also for transport etc. Sam's number were about what the human body itself uses for training, hence why I used the caloric consumption.

I didn't read/hear it as reducing human life to 'training energy', but I don't like the comparison at the technical level. Firstly, the math isn't even close. A human being consumes maybe 15 MWh of food energy

No one ever made the claim it was magic, not even remotely. Regarding the rest of your commentary: a) The original claim was that LLM's were not understood and are a black box. b) Then someone claims that this is not true, and they kno

If such a simplistic explanation was true, LLM's would only be able to answer things that had been asked before, and where at least a 'fuzzy' textual question/answer match was available. This is clearly not the case. In

I have a weather station that takes two 1.2 V. The LCD screen is a bit dim compared to when used with fresh 1.5 V alkalines. Other than that, most things take the 1.2 V well. But they better do because alkalines reach 1.2 V with >50% cap

At our high school we each had to buy a TI-83 calculator kit, and it came with one of those Rayovac alkaline chargers. I also had a Seitek Eco charger that could charge "normal" alkalines. But you had to be careful not to discharg

About 15 years ago I was writing software for an embedded device made by another company, and they sent us a unit for testing. It had a small rectangular rechargeable lithium battery that was charged via a DC jack. At one point I hadn’t kep

Yes knew what you meant, and fully agree. It is fascinating TV is even possible just out of all these rather simple and bulky analog components. Even the first color TV's were with vacuum tubes and no transitors. As I recall there&#x27

Actually, the voltages had to be raised due to the shadow mask, and this rise in voltage meant you were now in x-ray territory, which wasn't the case before. The infamous problems with TV's emitting x-rays and associate recalls we

Yes agreed! And while it is not quantized as such there is an element of semi-digital protocol to it. The concept of "scanline" is quantized and there's "protocols" for indicating when a line ends, and a picture end

Yes that is called "PAL-S". But the system was designed to use the delay-line method and it was employed since the inception (first broadcast 1967).

This stores a whole scanline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsk4WWtRx6M . This or something similar was in almost any decent color TV except for the oldest.

Yes - and x-rays too! Both from the main TV tube itself (though often shielded) but historically the main problem was actually the vacuum rectifiers used to generate the high voltages required. Those vacuum tubes essentially became x-ray bu

For me I wanted to know how much I'm spending spend in different categories - not just for the phone bill where you can just see what it is every month, but for more irregular expenses: travel, repairs, appliances etc. So why is this i

I was confused about it for a long time, though. I recall the confusion centered around terminology. I'm from Denmark and there we say "aktiver" (actives) must equal "passiver" (passives/liabilities) - which se
