How and why do they get nerfed? To save money?

I guess I feel better about the carbon footprint of me saying "thank you" to GPT now.

I woke up miserably at 6:00 before work and read this as I was drinking coffee. It very literally made my whole day!

Meanwhile I am just impressed that we have models that write better than most native speakers, at least English and Greek... OTOH I like to write my code and my text myself, so I have no reason to get pissed when LLMs fuck up.

If you do not even read code (the fact that you don't write any is clear), then what do you do?

I got a c3 pro a few weeks ago and you definitely can turn the lighting off. Don't remember whether it was through cycling or some other combo but you can. Did you look at the manual?

It doesn't matter whether the model assumes bits, pulleys, elves or whatever, as long as it does a better job at describing physical reality than whatever exists at the time anyway. People will try and very probably succeed in providin

Can't these features be toggled?

I use Notepad from time to time for quick notes and I have noticed exactly zero friction added to this "workflow". Not sure what you are talking about.

Not having an extra language to deal with and so many features being just a flag away is why I decided to go with QtWidgets for the GUI of a project I am working on at work. And it is so nice to use despite being very old. For the graphical

I thought that if you have some idea about how hardware works, it is kind of more or less obvious whether something is synthesizable or not.

Exactly... Nothing can stop the masses. Plus, we have laws that can change and adapt.

Imagine the kind of garbage that some people consider "robust, working code"...

Get a flip phone. Being reachable and able to reach is good, and you'll still get all the other benefits.

For me, being able to visualize 4D would imply that I can picture four mutually perpendicular axes, something which I find completely impossible for me to do. And I thought it is impossible for any human brain. It would be fascinating if I

You have a really sad view on what constitutes a waste of time.

I suspected it would be some feature of this moronic joke of a language and it seems I was right.

Linear algebra is pretty straightforward if you learn it properly. Lots of resources seem to confuse matrices with tensors and linear operators because the creators don't really have any idea what they're talking about. Do yoursel

Never heard about this one, thanks.

Thanks. Maybe I should have stressed this more, but what I had in mind was a more mainstream language suitable for everyday programming too. All the languages mentioned in this thread are great but they are not getting any more popular and

Sounds like exactly the same thing since bilinear filtering in the upscaled image only has an effect near the edges of the fat pixels.

Whenever I think about better programming tools, I immediately think about better operating systems. That's what we ultimately need.

Functions map members of a set A to members of a set B. These can simply be Cartesian products whose members are tuples. In my dream PL syntax a function call would be a function name followed by a tuple, and that tuple would be no differen
