I honestly thought that we were agreed on the definition of AGI. My understanding classified it as a model that can build on its knowledge and better itself, teaching itself new tasks and techniques, adapting as necessary. I.e., not simply

You jest, but when i was in school, i used to do pushups, situps, planks, curls, etc. while studying. It helped quite a lot with data retention.

Using sqlite keeps a persistent open database connection, so you only have to send requests for content that sqlite has probably cached. When reading static files, you open, read, and close a file with every request, meaning more context sw

So do "fact"/"faction" and "hostel"/"hospital". Mixing these up would be confusing and incorrect. Seems like a silly argument to make.

I don't know about where you live, but in my town, people are required to pick up their dogs' poop, wherever it may be.

It's not about what is or isn't a public thoroughfare. It's about what is or isn't "a reasonable expectation of privacy." It just turns out that, because people are expected to walk/drive on streets, and p

I used it in, what, 2004? 2005? It was pretty good, especially compared to today's typical corporate on-prem search options, e.g. Sharepoint or Confluence, both of which are almost certainly inferior to a physical filing cabinet.

I have trouble understanding why every Linux-friendly laptop vendor insists on this godawful arrow key layout. It was a bad idea when Apple did it, and it was a bad idea when you copied them. Apple has even backtracked on this terrible desi

I know someone who insists that her life was saved by escitalopram. However, please be aware that SSRIs are not necessarily free to try, physiologically nor socially speaking. I tried it at the recommendation of my doctor for anxiety. It di
