I have been imagining this since GPT-3. I still only know of very few games making use of LLMs. There are add-ons for Skyrim, and web search points me to NVIDIA's ACE autonomous game characters framework and games such as InZOI, PUBG&#

This sounds really cool. My intuition was that the selected experts might change heavily for each token, resulting in slow SSD loads for each token. This seems to be wrong. Did you create some statistics on how often the experts need to be

Why not simply have both? This does not have to be an either-or decision. Have a default repository with vetted extensions, but leave the option to install from other sources open.

For seekable gzip indexes in zip, there SOZip: https://github.com/sozip/sozip-spec . However, it stores the indexes as files succeeding the actual file entry. To hide these index files and avoid extraction, they are no

The title seems misleading. These are not errors. They are simply warnings about extended attributes being ignored when extracting files, which seems completely fine to me, and creating the tar without those extended attributes has exactly

> Apparently the internal state is only 32kB Exactly. And often this state is either highly compressible or non-compressible but only sparsely used. The latter can then be made compressible by replacing the unused bytes with zeros. Ratar

I like the idea of bubblewrap, but my pain point is that it is work to set it up correctly with bind mounts and forwarding necessary environment variables to make the program actually work usefully. Could you share your pip bwrap configurat

After 2 minutes at 150 kHashes on mobile, I finally see the first pixel of the progress bar filling up. Seems like it will take hours or a day to finish. Some estimate would have been nice.

I never understood why the recommended replacement for ß is ss. It is a ligature of sz (similar to & being a ligature of et) and is even pronounced ess-zet. The only logical replacement would have been sz, and it would have avoided the

On the other hand, fonts can be an expression of your personality. Shouldn't it be preferable to centrally enable overriding fonts instead of forcing every site designer not to use custom fonts to express themselves? Theoretically, it

I can confirm usual compression ratios of 10-20 for JSON. For example, wikidata-20220103.json.gz is quite fun to work with. It is 109 GB, which decompresses to 1.4 TB, and even the non-compressed index for random access with indexed_gzip is

I concur with most of these arguments, especially about longevity. But, this only applies to smallish files like configurations because I don't agree with the last paragraph regarding its efficiency. I have had to work with large 1GB+

Yes, that section is fitting and interesting. It is the production-side view. I think I was more motivated by the comments envisioning an abundance of cheap gold, which seems not in any way near or even possible, even with this approach as

The "gold" would not be radioactive as far as I understand. The reaction is 198Hg (stable) -> 197Hg (65h half life) -> 197Au (stable). You would end up with a mix of radioactive 197Hg and stable 197Au. It should be easy to s

Even if you could separate mercury-198 for zero cost, it would only be 10% of the mercury production, and the yearly mercury production is 4500 t/yr, i.e., at most a maximum of 450 t/yr mercury-198. Compare this to gold production

For bzip2, a list of bit offsets in the compressed stream and a corresponding byte offset in the decompressed stream suffices because each bzip2 block is independent. For gzip, it is as you say. However, when only wanting to seek to DEFLATE
