I think sugar is an addictive substance just like coffee, and tobacco/alcohol. Sugar and coffee are easier to shake than tobacco and alcohol. If you manage to stay off of it for a few days, you're back to normal. But it's socially acceptable to have a sweet tooth so most people, like with coffee, just keep "using". Some people don't get addicted to things as easily as other.
Most of my information comes from this doctor, Robert Lustig. Here's the latest podcast he was on if you're interested: https://youtu.be/BhEsYJ6gEHY?si=Mwcf5VZ8Wg3QMOP5. There are talks with him going back as far as like 14.or 17 years.
He's a peculiar guy, and is on some sort of a crusade against "big food" and "big sugar", but I really sympathize with the guy. And he changed my relationship with food and health for the better over the past year or so.
> I also tried using "Screen unknown caller" feature, but then, no one likes them and sometimes they think it is AI bot and they usually just hang up (which is great for spam caller but not for legitimate caller)
When its someone legit I find that they actually go through the effort. I've had USPS explain who they were to my phone and I was able to answer them as a result.
Nuclear plants can run with those hyperboloid cooling towers as the sink for waste heat. They are just a lot more expensive to build and maintain compared to using river water.
That's hilarious that Anthropic and OpenAI can't even secure their products from Chinese resellers, how are they supposed to secure their models from being distilled?
DeepSeek is amazing, they are, from a cost/benefit literally an order of magnitude or more better than the 'SOTA' models, and yet no one really talks about them.
I'm using them for my micro-saas, and they have made my niche economically profitable where as SOTA models are only slightly better for massively increased expense. Its truly impressive.
Word of advice to anyone, not all your use of LLM tech needs to be code/dev work related.
We are entering 'Web 4.0 era' or whatever you want to call it. Massive transformations of nearly every single business will and are being developed as the cost of intelligence as a commodity is falling through the floor...
As I age, my desire for friends for friends' sake diminishes. If someone doesn't offer something to my life that I value, I'll have a hard time putting energy into them.
It was so easy to make strong bonds as a kid, captive with other kids in a building most of the time. Now there is a cost:benefit I have to weigh a persons worth to me against.
In their case, it's motivated by a desire to keep copyrighted code out of the SQLite implementation, but I'm sure it has a nice benefit of making it so that an extremely widely used project doesn't get drive by, low effort code review requests while still allowing the community to engage.
Asking that "random people on the internet" don't sent code is not altogether a novel, post-AI idea.
I'm currently using it to help me with my oncall, first responder to our any production alerts. It's not as efficient as coding agent by default, but it's been tremendously helpful to me.
I'm honestly unsure if this is a Poe's law thing or not. I'm going to go ahead assume that you are doing the honorable thing of purposefully not including a /s for the integrity of the joke.
Sure, you need to wrap it in C, but there is also `cfltk` that is maintained and used in Rust bindings.
Btw., the difference in memory usage is huge with GTK4. FLTK hello world is ~10M, GTK3 is ~15M, GTK4 is 40M! With Cairo rendering, it's about 30M, but still a lot.
I tend to think we have an industry AI mania problem, but I’m not sure I understand what you find psychotic about this. I find it better to get a text suggestion or description of the change, then work on the implementation myself, even without using an agent, instead of reviewing LLM diffs that I know I will want to tweak to my taste
I actually came around to Fahrenheit for the exact same reason. 0°F and 100°F are kind of the top and bottom of the temperature range I’m going to be experiencing and anything outside that is waaay too hot or cold. In Celsius a large portion of people have to flip to negative numbers regularly during the normal year, and everything between 45°C and 100°C is completely unused.
>baby boomers are sitting on at least $93 trillion in assets
> $36 trillion in baby boomer wealth will pass to Gen X and millennial heirs over the next 20 years after subtracting liabilities, excluding the top 1 percent of households (the outliers in how they spend their wealth)
Why the fuck would you be allowed to include top 1% in first number but not second? They are outliers, yes, so what?
Thanks! Would love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to play it. I'm currently working on adding a few more towers and challenges. After that maybe I'll deep-dive into the "best" automated scheduling algorithm for all this :)
>Moreover, this extension does not try to override the protections that Firefox uses, e.g. in the case of limits on the presentation of the amount of available RAM.
This seems contradicted by the screenshots, which lists options for "time", "canvas", and "screen". Firefox's RFP has protections for all of those. Not to mention it has "protections" for APIs that don't even exist on firefox.
"K3 is multimodal — a 401M ViT, 27 layers, patch 14 — and so is the engine. --image attaches a picture; repeat it for several:"
$ waste run ~/models/k3.waste 'What is in this picture?' --image landscape.png
[landscape.png: 192 image tokens]
The picture shows a simple, stylized landscape with:
- A **blue sky** with a gradient from darker blue at the top to lighter blue near the horizon.
- A **yellow sun** in the upper right.
- A **gray hill or mountain** in the middle distance.
- A **green field** covering the lower part of the image.

"... That is a 448×336 image, and every element of the description is in it — including the sky gradient, which is the kind of detail that separates a tower that works from one that merely runs."
My comment resumes:
What? No subsequent context seems to help any resolving what that means to any sensible concept I recognize. This seems to indicate the page has not been proofread at all.
Best guess is some kind of weird concept bleed from "vision tower" which appears elsewhere, which is a term I hadn't heard before for the process of converting the image to tokens. (Probably would have been called the "vision stack" if it were made by conventional programmers.)
