You keep saying that major models have "tool calling built in". And that by giving them context about available APIs, the LLM can "use the API". But you don't explain, in any of your comments, precisely how an LLM i

Human recall failure. Probably wanted "seemingly", "apparently", or even "ostensibly", but who's got time for all that when the publish button's right there.

I remember installing the TCP/IP stack from a treasured special floppy onto win 3.11 machines (giving them RIPE addresses and using NT4 as a router to expose the entire network onto the public internet - not a great idea in retrospect,

Perhaps think instead of human skin as a wretched slimy substrate on which poor, determined fungi have to somehow eke an existence.

This approach was what we had to use back in the late 90s. We called it "iframe streaming", or "forever iframe" (and years later, as an industry term emerged, "comet"). It worked surprisingly well, except in ca

If the speculation that the board want to open up everything so that it is truly open/public domain "for the benefit of humanity" turns out to be accurate, I can't see Microsoft being terribly happy about this now that t

Wow - just tried this and struck gold on the very first amateurish-looking GPT-wrapper iOS app I tested.

Lovely stuff. Now someone please use this in a Bioshock-like adventure based in London's semi-apocalyptic west end.

Tesla unilaterally decided to push out a refactored UI to my old Model S a few months ago, changing the location of numerous functions to new sub-menu paths, and rendering years of muscle memory useless. Not only do I have to re-learn where

It is odd that as late as April 1994 the info service was migrated to gopher instead of http. By that time, most of the colleges had their own websites up and running. Students themselves were rapidly authoring web content (my contribution

Fewest is the correct word. There is no subjectivity about it. They could have said (albeit hideously): "The routes with the least change". In this case, change is an uncountable noun. But they didn't. They said "The rou
