These kinds of products are drop dead gorgeous to me. Any time I see a device that has an Amiga 500 form factor or similar, I feel a compulsive urge to click buy. But after many, many of such purchases, I've learned my lesson. I buy it

This was a great read! I'm not a paid subscriber, so I'll post my thoughts here. One angle I think that might be missing is that when only men worked outside the home, women would be stuck at home all day with housework and childc

Somewhat related: Anyone recognize the keyboard in the header image? Looks extremely similar to an HP 95LX series but isn't one I recognize.

Just in case anybody is interested in a bit more of a casual format, I had NotebookLM create a podcast from the paper. https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/0bef03c4-3ed5-4b13-90...

Not sure about the quality of the model's output. But I really appreciate this little mini-paper they produced. It gives a nice concise description of their goals, benchmarks, dataset preparation, model sizes, challenges and conclusion

Nice looking app! Very similar to DevUtils ( https://devutils.com ), but with a much more friendly pricing scheme which is great. I'm curious though, why link to the GitHub site if it's not an open source app? You even d

Interesting idea! You can somewhat recreate the essence of this using a system prompt with any sufficiently sized model. Here's the prompt I tried for anybody who's interested: You are an AI assistant designed to provide detai

Look, I get it. Startups are hard. Desperation can lead to poor choices. But spamming isn't the answer and will burn bridges faster than you can build them. If you are genuinely sorry and want to (possibly) turn this around, here are s

So I'm trying to understand. Is this spam for the Lamucal service? I saw this same code posted on Reddit the other day under a different name. Here are a few repos with the exact same code under different names: - https://gi

Here's a direct link to him being dragged off the stage: https://x.com/dmitrygr/status/1822124650547257637 It's definitely somewhat aggressive. Way to burn bridges.

Well, thanks for putting this up! It's really a treasure for those of us who used it as our daily driver so many years ago.

This reminds me of megaCar from the same era: https://web.archive.org/web/20001019032036/http://www.megaca... Browsing that site again now in 2023 is hilarious! Make sure to turn your audio on.

The author of the article appears to have misunderstood one important detail about Code Llama. They state: > The Code Llama models were trained on 500B tokens, whereas Llama 2 models were trained on 2T tokens. Since the Code Llama model

Whoa! I remember experiencing this and just assuming it must be my imagination! I also remember that same laptop getting those pits. No where as dramatic as the pictures in the linked page, but still pronounced. Crazy. It's never happe

Somewhat related story time! In the early 2000's my main business was web hosting. It paid the bills but never made me enough to really invest in it. So it kept running, sitting in a colocation space. In 2005, having the mail server ho

Not to be THAT guy, but I'm getting a definite ChatGPTish generative text feel from that article. The short sections, the FAQ restating the details from the article three paragraphs ago, etc. I hate to lead a witch hunt, but...

OpenBSD has a ton of obscure x11 games and apps in their ports collection if you want to play with a different subset than FreeBSD's ports includes. I spent a whole evening enjoying the UNIX archaeology contained in their repo.

Sadly I don’t think Hack adds DMs either. I’ll pile on here and ask if there’s any chance you have an extra code! Thanks either way! rwl4@duck.com

I ordered one about a year ago and forgot all about it. After a few apologies for the lateness of the shipping, the order never arrived. This comment reminded me, so I just emailed them to see what's up.

I've got the GPD Win 2 and it really would be the perfect little computer if it had HP 100LX style calculator keys. I know people disagree with me on this, but it's the one style of tiny keyboard that I have been able to achieve a

Hey there, fellow journaler! The way you describe it, you could be me. I also use DayOne. I started about a month after you and am on day 1,236. TBH, I think the streak feature is very motivating. I say the same exact things to others about
