What? F3 should be help and F7 is exit. That's what the WP keyboard template says and I'm sticking to it.

I use the LLM to point me at relevant books and papers. But there is still a trust problem: I am trusting the LLM to point me at reliable, trustworthy sources. I'm not sure I'm better off with humans though -- I'm not qualifi

Can you explain the France paradox?

I got the opposite impression from reading the post. Perhaps this is a Goldilocks situation?

I agree. To me it's more interesting that there exists a physical process that performs a Fourier transform than that there could exist such a process. If it can be done on pen and paper, it's already proven that it can be done in

Occasionally there are some real treats in those snippets. I remember being floored when Trinity exploited a real ssh v1 bug in Matrix Reloaded.

I think that attitude may change if there is ever an EV that could be competitive in a NASCAR event. For now, the closest we are likely to see is a hybrid, because EVs don't have enough range.

Are you sure you aren't underestimating human capacity for stupidity?

Would it be sufficient to have a second stream of tokens that becomes the model's equivalent of "internal dialogue"? Would that satisfy the requirement of a boundary line? Related, is a human "thinking out loud" sti

How would someone know whether one has a soul or not? Is there any sort of introspection that can reveal the presence of a soul or any of its properties?

Sounds like you got a lemon. I also have an X1 carbon, and it's been a great upgrade for me. My biggest complaint is the eraser isn't as easy to use as my old toshiba. The eraser is important to me -- my hand gets numb using a t

I feel the same way. I had a eee and later a Samsung netbook, but eventually ordinary laptops got light enough that a netbook is now just a laptop with a smaller screen. I'll always have a soft spot for them, but I doubt I'll us

I don't need to be able to read my dash. I only need to see where the needle is pointing.

Blame Rush Limbaugh and others for conflating them in the 90s. I don't know if people generally know the difference before that, but personally it's only been recently that I've been exposed to sources that distinguish betwee

When I hear the word bloke I think of Andy Capp. Not sure if he ever used it in the comic strip though.

While what you say is true, people carrying extra weight are often prediabetic and should be watching sugar/carb intake in the morning when blood glucose levels are already rising without food. That also happens to be one of the most p

Yep, every method brings out a different nuance of coffee flavor, and any true coffee snob will likely own half a dozen or more items for brewing coffee.

Are you saying that non-Parkinson's patients are taking L-DOPA as a supplement? If so, that's nuts. Also dopamine is a precursor to noradrenaline, and serotonin levels are affected by numerous drugs, the most popular of which are

I have the same complaint about lastpass. With lastpass it's doable, but I have to keep looking up how to configure a site to never site and never ask.

The situation today is at least better than it used to be before OBDII. I much prefer using a scanner to get codes then having to count flashing lights. And back then you'd still have to pay a lot for the manufacturer's code rea

While I agree in principle, we went two or more decades with cars powered by microcontrollers, and I don't recall any manufacturers trying to charge for licenses until more recently. There is something fundamentally different about th

Lawnmowers are usually four-stroke, with two-stroke engines reserved for lighter tools like string trimmers and chainsaws. I would still guess that lawnmowers produce more emissions overall, given that there are so many more mowers than tra

I wonder if this notion comes from the 80s, when engines with turbos had lower compression ratios for reliability. Today's turbocharged motors have higher compression ratios than in the malaise era, and the turbos have a lot less lag.

Compare the number of tractors to the number of gas-powered lawnmowers. Which do you think gets better emissions?

How do you define "electronics" and "computers"? Is a general-purpose computer running Java in the same category as a microcontroller running a tight loop with lookup tables for fuel and spark?
