I don't think anyone is using "autocomplete" in the way your phone does it. But it is shorthand for a much more sophisticated version that is built in similar ideas. And autoregressive models certainly have that in their core

I think people have more passion to argue than they have passion to learn. Probably doesn't help that SV culture tells people to hustle so hard that they don't have time to think. Gotta go fast?

FYI, math is a language. Which is actually an important part of the Navier-Stokes conversation. Solving hard problems expands the vocabulary. The problems are hard, illustrating a region we know where the language is insufficient. So the po

There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own vimrc, you do you. But most people don't know about <C-[>, which works across your terminal, It isn't just a vim thing.

He said the same about vim, but did everyone forget about netrw? Here, go into vim and type `:Ex`. You can also have mouse support. (Netrw can also do trees if you don't like the format, go look at `g:netrw_liststyle`) My friend on eMa

I think the reason people are suspicious is that OAI has shown itself to act a bit irresponsibly, especially recently. As two examples, of course it was artifactory, why wasn't that watched more closely, especially after the first inst

They aren't even consistent within manufacturer! They're standardized on the device side, but not the PSU side. So always check pinout before you make the very reasonable assumption that if it fits it works

I find that if people don't dogfood their software the software just ends up being shit. As engineers we need to be a little grumpy. Frustrating with our software provide directions to improve it. If we're not grumpy, we don'

For the sideways toggle switches, the usual single line. For the buttons when you pull down the menu, literally any physical change would help, not just color and a message. Highlight the circular edge and make it work like a count down. Ma
