This is literally one the most infantilizing and simultaneously insulting analogies I've ever come across on this site. Do you really think consumers of the latest AI tools have no ability to forecast? The parents in this analogy have every incentive to lie
In theory, if a program is written in a high-level language and you have a correct implementation (interpreter, compiler, runtime) of that language on a new system, then the program should be able to run there.
In practice, this is not always so straightforward, especially as you move closer to machine-level details or consider compiled binaries.
Many compiled programs are built for a specific architecture (x86, ARM, etc.). They won’t run on a different architecture unless you provide either: A cross-compiler (to generate new native code for that architecture), or an emulator (which mimics the old architecture on the new one)
I think your LLM temperature analogy is interesting in this deprecated dichotomy between autism and schizophrenia.
One Youtuber Jreg used a breadth-first search (schizophrenia) vs depth-first search (autism) analogy when comparing the the two, but I think your temperature analogy is more apt. Higher temperature results in more disorganized thoughts like schizophrenia. And if you buy into the idea that the root of most schizophrenia is thought disorders, then this analogy implies that dialing up temperature corresponds to more signs of psychosis through speech
My experience with many friends on the autism spectrum is that their speech tends to be more scripted, but I certainly don't think autism and psychosis are mutually exclusive.
Sediments including lead tend to accumulate at the bottom of water heaters, so you'd be measuring the accumulated lead and not the locality's with this assumption.
When we ripped out the carpet to install luxury vinyl flooring it was off-gassing for weeks. Had to go over the vinyl with dozens of microfiber clothes before the outside coating stopped wiping off.
Imagine all of the people cutting into that inexpensive wood without air filtration is terrifying
Or it could be that people spend more time in their luxury vinyl planked house, vaping and having ingress air filled with formaldehyde from traffic
It'd make more sense and be less ethical to expose people to either formaldehyde or tire dust in a confined area, but that study is definitely not getting funded
If you read at least 3 paragraphs in, you'll see that this tool attempts to generate a query using an LLM. Dismissing a tool before attempting to understand it is astounding.
The US owes it to the Vietnamese people to clean up the arsenic, but of course they're never going to do that. I know several elderly Vietnamese who developed leukemia after serving in the war.
If you eat rice, please eat white not brown, parboil it with a ratio of 4:1 water to rice, and dump the water afterwards [0].
For long chats, I suggest exporting any artifacts, asking Claude to summarize the chat and put the artifacts and summarization in a project. There's no need to stuff Claude's context windows, especially if you tend to ask a lot of explanation-type questions like I do.
I've also read some people get around rate limits using the API through OpenRouter, and I'm sure you could hook a document store around that easily, but the Claude UI is low-friction
I'm curious how your experience is using Gameface for day-to-day tasks like coding. I assume you still use a keyboard for typing, but what about selecting blocks of text or general navigation?
This is really cool, but there's real-world instrument physics that might not be captured by simple Fourier transform templates, like a trumpet playing softly can have a significantly different harmonic spectrum than the same trumpet playing loudly, even at the same pitch
Trumpets produce a rich harmonic series with strong overtones, meaning their Fourier transform would show prominent peaks at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Instruments like flutes have more pure tones, but brass instruments typically have stronger higher harmonics, which would lead to more complex partial derivatives in the matrix equation shown in the article
So this script uses bandpass filtering and cross-correlation of attack/release envelopes to identify note timing. Given that brass instruments can exhibit non-linear behavior where the harmonic content changes significantly with playing intensity (think of the brightness difference between pp and ff passages), not sure how would this algorithm could handle intensity-dependent timbral variations. I'd consider adding intensity-dependent Fourier templates for each instrument to improve accuracy
Assuming a lunch break is not included as part of 8 hours, do you really think most exmployees are productive for a full 8 hours?
Most office workers spend an exorbitant amount of time twiddling their thumbs, reading emails, going to the restroom. On average, I'd say knowledge workers are typically productive for about 2 to 3 hours per day. I'd estimate physical laborers range up to 4 or 5 hours.
Assuming 8 hours of full productivity is a strange number to focus on
