Models already do this, I tell them to use Blender and OpenSCAD to render previews, use tools in those packages to verify/modify meshes and otherwise it'll write its own custom software. Codex has written me thousands of lines of

Astra does that. I've fed it STLs, told it to inspect, make a model for it, derive 'conceptual' measurements (e.g. - there were USB type A sized slots in one design, it recognized those, and knew not to change that, but only

But only a small part of AI applications are that search-like. I mean we could even argue if this is still only search, but that's semantics and boring. But even if we would, there are a lot more applications than pure search. So the G

How can it be at the same time "a better search" and also "making large swaths of population unemployed with no replacement in sight" ?

This take is unfathomable to me. How are LLMs not massively revolutionary, despite them not being infallible? This comment reminds me of there being competitions for finding useful purposes for electricity when it was first discovered. Im

I only used Claude a bit, but one of the things I dislike about it, is that it starts to 'push back' when you swear at it, saying things like 'if you continue like this, I won't be able to work with you' and such. I

"Perhaps that can be done DIY from an PVC pipe with an hot air gun or a gas burner to soften and shape the end." When I used to make my own PVC didgeridoos, I would melt candle wax and then dip one end repeatedly into the wax to b

If I buy a lawn mower, I don't expect anyone to guarantee with absolute certainty that there will never be a person who thinks 'hey maybe I can just stick my hand in there to unclog it' and gets their fingers chopped off. Pro

The one without the relieve valve is nicer to use because it's (much) easier to clean. Source: I've cleaned these things pretty much every weekday for the last 2 or 3 years.

That sucks. I have both and the ones with the pressure relieve valve are a pain in the ass to clean. You have to pull out the rubber inner thingy, you can't get a towel inside the hole that thingy goes into, and in general the rubber t

It's a matter of getting used to things. We're only a few weeks further, I maybe would have given it now. It'd need some way to keep it private I guess, maybe I could have used a one off CC number. Those are just technicaliti

"LLMS are good at "find me a two week vacation two months from now"?" Of course they are. I gave one a similar prompt a few weeks ago, albeit quite a bit more verbose (actually I just dictated it, train of thought, with

Claude yes, OpenAI not, I'm really abusive towards it sometimes and it still goes 'oh yeah totally'. Claude gets all prickly about it.

Probably this one: https://ko-fi.com/offsetcad/shop I have it, it's great. There's a free one, I paid a few bucks for the full set. Guy has a Youtube channel too where he shows how he does a few of the design

Why would one want to couple these two? Doesn't that couple, say, your API interface with your database schema? Whereas in reality these are separate concepts, even if, yes, sometimes you return a 'user' from an API that look

Related to this, has anyone investigated how much typos matter in your chats? I would imagine that typing 'typescfipt' would not be a token in the input training set, so how would the model recognize this as actually meaning &#x27

GP said 'open bar with 2 bartenders'. I.e. commercially priced drinks, and staff. Did you have those? If so, pro tip, next time just get a few cases of various drinks, plonk them on a table with a bunch of glasses (rented, if need

You seem to be misreading his comment. Some guy making some observation biased comment is irrelevant. It's flat out wrong that Germans 'need' it less. The obesity curve in Europe trails that of the US a generation or two, y

"a dude like Schwarzenegger is probably well in the overweight category" For illustration, Arnold was 107 kg at 1m88 at his prime, giving him a BMI of 30.3, which is clinically obese. But yeah, LOL at all these people with 130 cm

Yes, anyone is able to 'get' GLP1 analogs, but your BMI and comorbidities (as well as purchasing power) determine the 'how' and the cost.

Double digit percentages, and within a few years, this'll be true across most developed economies. Yes this is mind blowing once you think about it.

Did you bother to google his handle? While I don't know his pure mathematics credentials, he's nerd-famous enough to not warrant an introduction. In fact, you not recognizing it says something about you.

I was told these lenses are for the rest of my life. I guess I'll know for sure in 40 years. They don't develop cataract like natural lenses do, and I won't develop presbyopia as these lenses don't focus using muscles ar

If you're mid-40s (which is the threshold ago where I am), and can afford the up front cost, consider IOL implants. Life changing (for me). (and re: costs, these drops are going to set you back $1000 a year as well, so after 7/8 y

In Korea last year I was asked. And they did check both the IDP and my original driving license, as they should have.

Yeah there's an SK village inside the DMZ, I had lunch there last year on a tour. It's both wild and utterly unremarkable at the same time. There's a high fence around it, and you're warned not to go over that fence as t
