All the "Thanks for watching!" gave me a good chuckle. Remind me of one of my own experiences with one of the Whisper model, where some random noise in the middle of the conversation was translated into "Don't forget to

Here is a relevant tidbit from the RWKV paper "Limitations" section ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13048 ): First, the linear attention of RWKV leads to significant efficiency gains but still, it may also lim

For me it was worked relatively well. I track my config in a git repo, and doom-emacs is rather helpful on what external tools must be installed for various configuration "layers" (like when working with such and such language). W

emacs "gui" perfectly supports the mouse out of the box. For use in a terminal (after using both for some time, I find the gui version better tbh), see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_

Sorry, to clarify: I used the package `emacs-next` from guix to install emacs 28. You still need to install and configure emacs-lsp along with the LSP backend(s) you want to use. I'm currently using the doom-emacs "emacs distro&qu

I have been testing Emacs 28 for a few weeks now, as it was reported to improve performance on LSP integration (which was sometimes sluggish for me with rust). I have to say I wasn't disappointed. It's now comparatively blazingly

Don't think out of the box, but https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode works rather well with emacs 28 from my experience. Emacs "distros" such as Spacemacs and Doomemacs both make using it a nearly &quot

Yeah emacs was a revelation for me on this regard, that the idea of "Free Software" could be more than just providing souce code and license. Emacs is actually explicitly designed to give you full power to explore, discover and mo

For emacs users, there are some modes with similar functionalities (as expected from emacs!): picture-mode and artist-mode See for example http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_ascii_diagram.html

Aren't you worried about increasing the attack surface a lot for a machine directly accessible on the Internet? I'm neither a network nor a security expert, but I would have thought that the router would be better running the mini

Not sure if it's the one you were thinking about, but there is a similar passage in the Slate Star Codex article "Neutral vs. Conservative: The Eternal Struggle" https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/01

Not a perfect test, but you can try for yourself on https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/ if you're curious (the tells for generated images on this one are quite obvious when you know what to look for)

Thanks for the article! I think it's even worse actually, because this is not something that needs to be done explicitly or on purpose. Simply training AIs with a target goal of maximizing engagement could lead to models discovering an

Good point. I don't use it on mobile (I sync things between my personal and professional computer mostly) so I can't comment much on this aspect. Joplin seems very nice indeed! But it seems to be more oriented for personal notes n

Sure you can indeed. For me the compactness of the rpi was a plus however. Since you don't need a dedicated screen or a keyboard (recalbox interface is tailored for controllers), having only to carry the small rpi makes it more conveni

If you're looking for a fun use for your shelved rpi, I can recommand installing a retro-gaming distro such as recalbox ( https://www.recalbox.com/ ) or retropie ( https://retropie.org.uk/ ). I installed r

The definition of "best" is often subjective and may boil down to familiarity. On the other hand, betting on open-source tooling may be a good way to increase the chances that your "best" tools will still be available in

For me, a killer feature of evil-mode is the "hybrid" state (`evil-disable-insert-state-bindings`) that allows to use emacs (aka readline) keybindings in insert mode. When I have only a minor edit to make in the middle of typing s

The REPL (and most tooling I think) supports LaTeX-like abbreviations that autocomplete to the corresponding Unicode symbol, so no need for a special keyboard. See here https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/
