And do you think ChatGPT is always doing this accurately? There is no end-to-end logic, so what you get could be either bullshit hallucination or correct. This is not the correct use of the tool right now. Maybe in the future with a diffe

If it were so easy, why didn't you post a few examples rather than insult me?

I'm struggling to think of a federal job in which having ChatGPT would make them more productive. I can think of many ways to generate more bullshit and emails, however. Can someone help me out?

As an aside, I think you are referring to black body sources, which is described by Planck's law. Stars dgaf about color spaces of computer monitors. They are relatively close to black bodies as thermal emitters, though, at least on

One big reason for filters in astronomy and astrophotography is to block certain frequency ranges, such as city lights.

by queuebert 1y ago
That would trade time and frequency information for spatial information, which is what you want in astronomy, but maybe not for candid family photos.

Over my embarrassingly long time of coding, I've gone through all of these fonts and more (VT100 anyone?) and eventually traded the sans-serif fixed-width fonts for ones with serifs, as it feels less tiring at the end of long days. For

The EM shielding is simply a wire mesh, not tint. The glass doesn't have to be darkened, and probably wasn't, but often the room is darkened to make the scan more comfortable and calming. Also, in my experience the room doesn&#x2

> Makes you dream there could be an equivalent for our own universe? My idea to attack the simulation is psychological: make our own simulation that then makes its own simulation, and so on all the way down. That will sow doubt in the mi

Anecdotally, I have two gaming desktops for my kids in the same place, side by side. They don't know much about computers, but they greatly prefer to use the Linux one and only use the Windows one when forced to, like because Microsoft

This is a very common workflow for me, except I was using Teams on a Mac. And thanks to some update there are now two non-working versions of Teams installed ("Teams" and "Teams new" or some equally tacky naming). Luc

I think you are using "sparse" and "non-linear" as scare terms. Sparse is a good thing, as it reduces degrees of freedom, and non-linear does not mean unsolvable. Also "impedance mismatch" doesn't mean no

That comment is mind boggling. I've spent a large fraction of my life playing in classical orchestras and also never heard anyone get confused. Yes, classical music is a genre and a period. Bach is in the genre, but not the period. I

That doesn't fix suboptimal algorithm choices, but neither would a small NN in the compiler. A big NN could rewrite large sections of code without changing the logic, but why do that during translation instead of rewriting the source?

This and their Pachelbel's Canon were what ignited my love for classical music as a child.

Yes, that's why I said buff. The radius as defined would increase, because surface pressure is 90 bar, so at 1 bar, you're pretty high in the atmosphere. I can see merit in such a definition because that is the level at which we

Venus would get a slight radius buff, too, if we applied that metric.

An EMR will necessarily have low churn rate because the cost of switching is tremendous. I've been doing this a long time, and Epic is kind of the "EMR of the day". No doubt a new one will come along, solving the UI problems,

Make an antimatter liquid with strong intra-molecular bonds (e.g. anti-H2O) that is only slightly ionized. That would be easier to contain magnetically.

If you can ship antimatter, you can drop it on people. Luckily, we are still orders of magnitude away from a bomb-sized amount.

In a perfect world, maximizing (EV/op) x (ops/sec) should be done for even user software. How many person-years of productivity are lost each year to people waiting for Windows or Office to start up, finish updating, etc?

Why can you not match orders in parallel using logarithmic reduction, the same way you would sort in parallel? Is it that there is not enough other computation being done other than sorting by time and price?

What's to stop me embedding a pinhole camera in the lamp behind me, zooming it in on the screen, and recording every meeting? These kinds of measures only stop the good guys from doing their jobs. The bad guys put way too much effort i

I'm using that combo in a DOS emulator to teach my kids how to code. They love being able to draw right out of the box. And the best part is no distractions. No updates to apply, no popup notifications, and no crashes -- everything ju
